Forum:Flaming Telepaths - Wiki Dispute Resolution Guideline & Policy

Great and terrible care has been taken by yours truly to insure flaming was never prohibited on this wiki. The wisdom of this effort has been called into question by recent events so I put it to you gentle reader - what are we to do? Shall we outlaw flaming and restrict the context of our disputations? Or will we agree to set of circumstances which all afirm are "out of bounds"? I believe a good row/spat/cat-fight is good for users all around as a relief valve and as non-participatory theatre. This show becomes problematic where it expands to too many pages, rather like channels with an over verbose politician usurping all broadcast stations on account of her need to draw everyone's attention away from her domestic policy the better to keep an eye on those "with stars on thars" (apologies to Mr. Geisel). Thus arises the need for some form of containment protocol for the prevention of a meltdown (see: China Syndrome (in China see(inexplicably):Mexico Syndrome)). So I open the floor to you folks, what would you have me/us do? 1600 local 12SEP10
