Mr. Ahearn is being rather disingenuous when he expresses
puzzlement over why I thought he was baiting me for an
argument, considering that just days ago we had a lengthy
heated exchange over the definition of noir on another board.
If he is "over arguing this stuff," he must have made the
decision very recently indeed.
What this board needs is a separate "Thunderdome" forum such
as another board that I belong to has, where combatants can
pummel each other at will, but no one needs to pay attention
or go to that forum unless they wish to. Moderators in my
other group decide when a disagreement has escalated to
Thunderdome status and move the argument there as needed. It
works really well!
