I constructed a well thought, extensive and logical argument

The fundamental problem of your argument is this 'People need to realize that words are not offensive'. They don't and they wont, so the rest of your logic is false as it's based on false premises.
Sadly he's right... Not every one thinks the same... For example there's this old women that lives down the street from me ( I live in a collage town very very close to campus) and she just recently got called a couger while her daughter was around the old women got offended untill her daughter explained its not really ment to be offensive and what it means and she still got offended by it

I do not like the idea. I don't know or care about swearing/who wants to swear a lot, but an adult forums would drag away some experienced members from newer members, thus creating a disconnect. There would be fewer combos, and a lack of...shall we say a "mature presence" in the "kiddie" forums. Also, two different forums is just too darned of a confusing idea to deal with!

Not that it is a completely bad idea. Just saying that if you give a worker free vacations to paradise island for life he might decide to just live there ya know?

Very true. However, If you force him to work with b players in the cubicle, he may decide to quit. Island would keep him with us.

I'm not against the idea of an adult forum, but I do have to agree with coffee. It can and more than likely will take away from newer players that are under age. It can also take away from veterans to. Interacting with people of all ages and seeing there decks broadens your views on how to build decks or lets you see an idea from a newer player and build it to perfection. But if we have a forum for ourselves it'll be the same people every time we log in. Making it the same as playing with same boring people we play with everyday at home, thus limiting and hindering our views on deck building. Which is a big point to this forum.

It wouldn't be separate forum, it would be separate sections on Gathering, such as Private Pages, Beta or Moderators which we have now.

my paragraph was going with coffee's island paradise theory. Lol
I kinda figured it would be seperate sections.
