I don't know about others, but I'm getting a little concerned that the arguments will put off new members.
Quite often people join and then disappear quite quickly.
I've been involved in these myself on occasion, so I'm not innocent.
However, maybe the mods could create a section where these potentially contentious threads could be placed that had a heading like NSFW (a new one on me but it seems to be well known).
If a seemingly innocuous thread then turns into a constant argument, perhaps it could be moved to there.
It's sometimes interraction between older males and older females (or non binary etc) and comes down to very different relationship/*ex points of view but can of course stem from any subject and any set of contributors.
I think it happens more often than it once did, and I've not been here a year yet.
You are right Debbie. I'm guilty of this myself. I apologize to you and everybody for indulging in discussions that aren't any help for the majority here. I know that most of us deal with enough in our lives that we aren't really looking for more stress in this forum but rather some inspiration and a sense of community. I am fairly new here and actually new to forums or online communities in general. I'm still learning how to handle how I feel about all different points of view even those that really trigger me. Sometimes it's so hard to just stay silent. I'm grateful that there's someone who is reminding me of what we are here for. I'll try my best to ignore intimidating, triggering answers and escape the depate trap.
