User:SOTO/Forum Archive/The Panopticon/@comment-26285319-20170104192003/@comment-4028641-20170305035041 I refuse. I really don't want to call people out, and I would just rather we set up rules to not make this happen in the future.

I did not mean to take this thread onto a tangent -- although I am by far not the first person to do that here. We need to focus in on the specific yet unclear point that we're trying to make here. Make a case for that -- don't attack people for their actions in other threads, don't call out other threads for being bad choices, don't attack other people in the thread for having bad ideas in the past.

If we don't make a clear point and we just go on random tangents with no backing logic or evidence, this will be no different from the Random invalid stories thread that Czech shut-down.

Can someone post a description of the main, non-tangent arguments that have been made about the actual topic of the forum? I feel like no one knows where anyone here stands, or even what the topic really is.

Are we trying to make Pet Rock invalid again? Are we just going down a list of mini-rants and patting ourselves on the back for having dissenting opinions? What change are we actually suggesting?
