Actually, P&R is pretty civil now. I know, it seems off topic, but it isn't.

In P&R, we've instituted a policy of discuss the ideas and not the poster. We have a dedicated thread for when you just absolutely HAVE to anklebite someone and the guidelines are still in force there as well, so there are limits on how hard you anklebite. I won't say it doesn't occasionally get heated, because it does, but the guys and gals (Yes, we even have women in there now! ) have learned limits.

There have been some truly interesting philosophical, metaphysical and political discussions going, that run out 40 and 50 pages and I haven't had to do much at all in hard moderation recently. I'm actually pretty happy with where they are at now.

Yes some of the are a bit OT and push the politics side of things, but for the most part the discussions remain pretty civil, unlike P&R. Unfortunately oil drives our lifestyles...even the car free/car light ones.
