nb: wrote this and next post yesterday, am posting now while home sick from work so I don't feel I've acheived nothing today and to be in time for

ibarw. Thus am much less able to write intelligent replies than you might think.

This post exists as a repository for any and all off topic etc comments
about various possibly inflammatory topics I intend on posting about. I
know it's a weird idea, but I keep seeing interesting discussions about
stuff like feminism getting derailed into the same hackneyed topics or
vitriolic flame wars, and I wanted a way to try and stop that happening
without censoring anyone who feels like straying off topic or
having a good old rant. I may only use this the once then decide it's
more trouble than it's worth! (especially since it's hardly like my main issue with comments is that I have too many)

So, things that go here:

Anything really off topic (though I'm that fussed I guess)
Flames (even if they're on topic :P) Civil expression of strong
disagreement and offense is ok, though the line has to be drawn at some
point!
Trolling (Though, you know, I'd rather you didn't do that at
all)
Rants (unless they're 100% on topic and not a flame, otherwise split
them and put the off-topic/flamey stuff here)
Possibly other things which will strike me when they happen

So as to not kill conversations dead (especially if you want to flame
someone other than me :)) you can post a comment saying "Ok, you've
really pissed me off now, see my angry response *here*" (link to comment
on this post), though the basic gist is that...¨ or "Ok, we're getting a
bit off topic, my reply is *here*" etc.

I'll theoretically delete posts and freeze threads I guess but I'm
pretty lazy.
