The legacy of 'W'?

[12thMan]

Here's the thing, and I swear I'm leaving it alone after this

But if the mods are open to the idea, I think it's something that could be discussed/debated within a thread, but it would have to be a controlled environment.

*For instance, only six people permitted to be allowed in the discussion at any given time. Maybe over the course of two consecutive days.

*No four letter words allowed under no circumstances; Even if one is only expressing his/her views.

*The thread would be locked to everyone else until the Mods opened it up to a new designated "group". Others are free to view, but not post as the forum is only open to those six men/woman during that time. The reason for this is so that you don't have any hit and run posters as to inflame an already sensitive topic.

I have some more suggestions on how to open this debate/discussion up, but that's just a good safe place to start. That's just how 12th would do it...I'm just saying!

Only one woman? How do we choose who participates? Rock, paper, scissors? Cage match? I don't know about that. Hess is a scrapper.

Good question. I think first of all someone who really wants to engage in this discussion and who isn't simply bored until the season starts.There are a few other criteria I would suggest in addition to the above.

Where has she been? I haven't seen her in a while.

You talking about a thread specifically about race and the N word?

"N" word and all...but those six people can only respond to one another within that thread. They can't pick up on something or respond to someone else in a previous thread. Remember they're debating with those specific individuals they're rolling with. I would have to lay it out from top to bottom, to be honest with you. But I think it could work and we could get something out of it. Also, the Mods would have to approve of who participates and who doesn't; This isn't a free for all. For instance, someone who has a consistent history of having, well, being argumentative may not be the best person to allow to discuss or debate on this particular topic. Not to say that people that get in heated discussions or debates shouldn't be allowed, but I think the Mods would say okay to some and, quite frankly, no to others.</p>
