There's been some drama lately, and I think it would be good for use to talk about these conflicts a bit. I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts on this- namely where does drama come from, how can we reduce it, and how does it make you feel?

You may have noticed that I don't enjoy policing the board, and generally allow people totally unrestricted free speech, and only ban someone in the case of threats or when someone knowingly posts false information. As for policing people simply being rude, disrespectful, aggressive, or confrontational to others, this requires a lot of subjectivity and vigilant monitoring of all posts.

One possible way to deal with such drama is that I could add a warning that says *CONTAINS DRAMA* to the titles of any thread in which these conflicts emerge so that people are better able to avoid this stuff.

What do you think? How do you react to drama? What can Iona and I do to reduce it? What can the community do to reduce it?
