eh, I don't think it's as simple as that, and I can relate to Andrew's confusion over the whole episode.

Really? Please elaborate, as I don't see what the confusion might be here.

this place has a large overlap of people who care enough about tMG to talk about a tMG-related anything and people who generally have well thought out opinions. so it seems like a good place to have the discussion. however, I can see why it's a bad place to have the discussion if everyone is best buds with tMG off board.

Call me crazy, but I think the latter category ("best buds") will naturally show the desired restraint (ie. not post), and others should be free to carry on the discussion as they wish. The new ep for one is a good talking point.

My point is can we not just trust ilx a little bit to keep this from spiraling out of control, without a mod having to close and reopen shop? (the popular answer would be 'no ofcourse not ilx is shit', and yet history has proven otherwise)

oh, then we actually agree

Like I said in my first post since the revive, I’m not an off-board friend, but I know people who are, and I am a fan, but on the other hand I think it should be discussed - which is why I was asking above - is it the case that any discussion of it will bring the mod hammer down or just the discussion that we were having?

we are not in ilx history we are in ilx now
