Ah, good. Now I can say what I’ve wanted to say. @DrDeth, there is an irony in how you complain about the Pit. It comes off as acrimonious—i.e. exactly like the types of posts that belong Pit. You get heavily frustrated at posters, and feel the need to express that. Yet you don’t want a forum for that.
I was afraid to say this in ATMB, as I didn’t want it to be interpreted as an insult. But, now that you started a Pit thread, I can let you know.
Note that this is specific to @DrDeth, and not everyone who argues that the Pit is bad for the community or the site. Though it does really seem like arguments about whether the Pit should exist get acrimonious on both sides. And, when it does, I think it’s the perfect example of the positives of having a Pit.
You could have those conversations here, and those uninterested could just avoid them.
Also, I can’t figure out what you’re pitting @DocCathode for. You appear to have quoted yourself being acrimonious.
