Doesn't change the bottom line. There's nothing wrong with making a prediction (whether for/against its success). If posts go too far, they can be reported/dealt with. If that's not the case, then they can remain as they are. If that's something you don't like, there's nothing I can do about that. |
I wasn't saying they need to be moderated. I was just saying it's been a very highly unproductive thread and discussion because of the way people argue their stances. I'm not saying I'm against someone making a prediction one way or the other, but when your prediction is written like a fact (particularly for failure, since that is almost inherently negative), it will usually start a fight. It doesn't even matter if there were some valid points, the post is written (and usually responded) in such a way that everything is absolute.
While nothing can be done to really prevent these things from happening, it doesn't really mean it's "okay." I'd rather see people discuss their opinions like actual opinions. Too many people are arrogant and stubborn.
