Saw this series which was designed by the site's editors to help make its forums more intelligent debate and less flame wars.

Sounds like something this site could use.

I'll edit this when Part 4 comes out.

Sounds good...am assuming the Moderators will lead by example here

Edit: On "closely" examining SMS's response...perhaps NOT!!!!!

Thanks. So my assumption that SMS would lead by example when it comes to embracing logic because he is a forum Moderator is an Ecological fallacy. *Feeling enlightened*

Logically since SMS is a rather short man, the result would also be a shortened fallacy, or 'fallac' (pronounced without the 'ee' at the end)

Thanks for that. I plan on printing multiple copies and distributing them to the "chosen ones" at my workplace. Also intend to put one in every meeting room in my office... for now I put one up in my cubicle.
