Discussing the usage of the TEA thread
Brumby:
Why do people think TEA is special?
It's different, perhaps even unique in a way, but I don't see how that's supposed to indicate it should be subject to discrimination.
It seems people are trying to add labels in order to quantify various reasons as to how it can be "tamed" - but all these are just as productive as bureaucratic "hand-waving" trying to dress something up in clothing that warrants some sort of drastic action.
Utterly pointless - unless the point is to try and categorise something so people can sleep at night.
All that is required is for the microscopes to get packed away and the people involved to realise that everybody - including themselves - have a part to play in keeping thing civil. I don't think anyone wants to see a repeat of this.
IMHO

Yeah, that.

It can also have its own spin off threads that can emerge elsewhere, like general, repair and main TE sections, if needed.

I offered to move it to it's own section with it's own moderator, but nobody involved has expressed interest in that.
There was just talk on the other TEA forum how wonderful it is having different threads instead of one big long thread.
Why on earth didn't someone just ask me to create a forum section for them where they could have done exactly that? :-//

I'm not in any way a large participator of the TEA thread but I do pop in every now and then.
And I just want to say that I would wholeheartedly support having a separate "TEA" forum section with bitseeker as one of its mods if he would accept such.
As it is for me I probably wont follow to a new forum, there are only so many hours in a day and I really like it here :)

I'm not gone. I do need a break, though. Recent events and their effect on sleep does wear on a person both mentally and physically.

Completely understandable!

Sounds a good idea to me as well.

Sorry - I just can't agree.
If I walk into a thread I've not frequented and find it's not what I expected, I'd just walk away. I wouldn't whinge or carry on, let alone start reporting.
IMO, your hypothesis is a reach at best and not at all consistent with my observations about how people respond in a forum.

Your attitudes are similar to mine.
But while most people have similar attitudes, there are some that deliberately or accidentally maliciously or with good intentions, don't make visible points but run to daddy/HR/mods/etc. I have little sympathy for such people.
