Fight Club’

[shonceman]

Do y’all remember a few years back, when a thread went south and became contentious, the mods would truncate it at the turning point and move it to the “Fight Club” (under Non-Insurance discussions)? I propose we bring that back so a couple of the more contentious members could have some place to duke it out when the rest of us have picked up our ball and gone home!

(BTW - why is it when things get ugly, the euphemism is “it went south”. Is that some kind of Yankee denigration?)

I liked it - often humorous. The nice thing about 'fight club' was that it was only for registered forum users and not for the general public. (Remember that there are plenty of insurance companies that spy here to see what is being said about them.)

Although we do have the 1,000 and 5,000 post clubs for that stuff too, but you have to post to get there. One of the fun ways was to get into a great argument and pad your posts.

Origin of “down south” as a negative has its roots in cardinal directions

They don't whistle Dixie before ball games...

Who could you possibly be referring to?

I thought the first rule of Fight Club was that you don't talk about Fight Club.

Wait, wasn't that the second rule?
