The ring.
the cage,
The pit.
Cock fight
the temple of doom
The killing zone
the I hate you zone

I think that adults who debate, are capable of framing the debate to be non-personal. That said, it will not happen with some posters who get so involved they can't help it. Being an "opt-in" seems to be a good way to get these battles off the other parts of the board. I think that personal threats should be the line that once crossed should have that member escorted off the forum.

But if a member is banned, the text or post should be available to everyone to view so that they can see what happened. This "we had our reasons" crap we got at C-D was awefully easy to hide behind.
