The Tavern moved to facebook!!!

Debate is cool, but forum discussions about RL politics or religions have a high tendency to quickly get out of hand and become disgusting personally attacking disputes which have nothing to do with reason.

Another community I'm active in has the simple policy "No Poltics, no religion" and as it causes some unrest (I sound like a governor in EB :D ) when such specific threads are closed immediately by the moderators, most people agree that such topics are better discussed personally or at least via voice, may it be Teamspeak, phone or whatever. This way discussions stay almost always reasonable and calm as misunderstandings can be nullified right away and one doesn't make an aggressive "full scale" attack on the other when you can't hide that well behind your forum animosity.

Absolutely agree with Teleklos Archelaou's statement and decision.

The last time we had something like this in the Tavern, we managed to keep it down and civil and it quietly died. This one, well, went on a little too long and a little too far though. Alexandros, sorry, I didn't know you were joking. But anyhow, it's no joking matter.

So, has anyone actually set up the Facebook group? If not, I'll do the creating since I already conveniently have a Facebook account.

Okay, the EB Tavern group is up on Facebook.

Just go to Groups and search for 'EB Tavern'. I made it closed, so request for an invitation with your Org name just so I recognise you and can approve the request.

Facebook won't accept The Celtic Viking, or just Celtic Viking, so I went as Inko Gnito instead.

i personally take responsibility for what happened, me being the bartender and the one who pretty much started the flame war.


and considering i dont play EB much anymore, there isnt much reason to come back here....

Meh, I don't like myspace/facebook type sites. I'll do without the tavern.

Hmm, while seeing the „political and religious debate leads to flame war” statement, I couldn't keep wondering what would have happened if I had stated that „religion is a danger to society” in the tavern.
