Subject: Where can I find intelligent discussions?

Le Mediocrity. It's fun when we win, and funny when we lose!

Over at Zanzibar, you try to have a reasonable discussion, but you get flamed 3/every 4 responses. Over at The Flood, the people are just plain crazy. Seems like some really reasonable people are here in The Septagon, only I'm not allowed to talk about multiplayer issues.

What to do?

You have to make them, otherwise there are none.

There's a difference between crazy and random.

If you don't like the public offerings, see if you can find a group forum that you like participating in.

True true, to what everyone's said so far. I didn't mean to bash the public forums. I have had some great discussions in all the forums. Just letting out a *little* bit of steam as I take a mini-forum break. I love the forums. Just wish like everybody else that they could get a little more "efficient."

Oh, right, I mean, no, wait... Since we can't make others more efficient, we get along with them as best we can. A little bit of patience gets you a long way.

When looking for sane conversation I just talk to myself.

Start a thread asking if ~.999 really does equal 1.

Thanks for the comments. Yeah, I've partaken in some great discussions, and have often tried to inject a bit of good into the forums.

By the way, with any and all criticisms I offer (hopefully constructive) on these forums, I should add a great thank you to Bungie and the mods for overseeing such a huge and great public space.

I think I started this thread 'cause I was fascinated by this forum when I discovered it a little while ago that there's actually a place where I can come and talk about forum issues.

That, and I was saddened by the fact that so much discussion over at Zanzibar became about the discussions themselves rather than about multiplayer. We're almost at the point of complaining about complainers who complain about the complainers who complain about cheating.

Why fight the madness? Why fight the darkness? Why do you bother?

Become the madness. Become the night.

[shameless plug] Why don't you go to The Flood right now and participate in my "Intelligent life on other planets?" thread or Obbi's "Time Travel?" thread. It's as close to intelligent discussion as you'll get on the public forums. [/shameless plug]

If you want smart conversation ask your science teacher about the periodical table of elements.

I know a place born in pursuit of that very thing, "intelligent Halo 2 discussion", but now it's more like The Flood as it were, but not limited to what The Flood is.

I'm not sure but I'm getting sick of it as well.
If you find a place let me know.

Because someone has to. What is more evil? The actions of evil men or the inactions of good men?

Some of us may not be intellegente, pero most of us know how to talk to other people.
