Ilxors don't have controversial opinions in 2017 so agree but only on a technicality

mark, I understand you to mean that BE CONTROVERSIAL should be printed on mugs and shirts and magnets and stickers, as a constant reminder, and as a revenue engine.

should have a shark tank style pitching to board owners for starting a thread on their boards. the mods bid a # of posts to win a thread for their board. the net return on posts will contribute to the net value of the boards. the boards will be sorted according to net value on the Boards page. monthly purge of lowest board.

should posts be more artistically or empirically inclined

thread starters can be either, but respondents should initially attempt to prove of falsify the thread's premise using a qualitative approach if the position seems empirically oriented, and a quantitative one if the premise is artistically so.

it's hard to place the inclination of a thread that, say, compares the relative worth of dogs and children

Sufjan Grafton, Friday, 12 May 2017 19:09 (six years ago) link

please advise

I always wondered what those Dutch language threads were about!

anyone who tries to engage a post in challops or second opinions thread should be threadbanned, its a direct and deliberate breach of the rules and intent of these important infrastructures

look if you opened a thread called "post a controversial opinion" I think it's kind of a four fingers pointing back at you situation

I can only get four fingers pointing back at myself if I do a thumbs-up, though
