I like to walk away from the computer. It gives me time to think about any post that for whatever reason I may not comprehend what was said, and how to respond.

Even a flaming post, a crap post designed to do nothing, but cause noise can be productive once viewed properly.

Life is an engagement in time, and time goes by fast. We as men, women, children, and people try to make plans on how to use our very important limited time, but whatever god is, he laughs....

I keep crap like that on my mind, and when a post 'steams' me, I just ask why did it, and contemplate to find any response if any.

Rules can be good, and rules can also stifle creativity, and inspiration.

If it's true crap, then we should report, correct? Like:

Yeah report bad posts and comments, selecting the 'dragging down discussion on the pyramid of debate' option on the window that pops up. That way they're flagged for mods to easily see. They won't always be removed though, it's just a flagging system to help mods and admins spot it quickly, and to give an opinion that you agree it violates the pyramid of debate.
