I Feel Like Rip Van Winkle

I wake up and the entire landscape has changed. Lurking won't be the same although I must admit one thing, their attacks on each other was like not wanting to watch a train wreck but unable to avert my eyes.

Arguments between extreme points of view rarely are productive nor provide any insight but god are they fun to watch.

I wonder if it would be possible to flag such posts, and then have the option as a user to simply not have them open up when viewing threads for those who would rather skip the excitement. Seems like a better option than banishment and mass deletion- those who want 'action' can then just retire to the 'back room'.

I also miss posts from people who are no longer subscribers- many had a LOT of good information in them, lost forever. Too bad these couldn't have been archived somewhere.
