All this sad and done, there once in a while flare up an interresting debate, and the general level of discussion is of a level more often found on a forum for history buffs, not gamers.

Red:
Are you sure we are on about the same backroom? If anything, everyone disagrees with eachother. No one kisses up to another, if anything, we hit eachother around the head with a baseball bat.

Blue:
So some intellectual discourse is a bad thing, opposed to "socialists are evil, burn them to a stake" ?
