There's also a number of regulars [In reply to] Can't Post

who avoid the Hobbit board because they think the atmosphere is too toxic because of all the antipathy toward the movies.

It goes both ways, and no one is threatened, unless they continue to break the rules, and only after repeated warnings. It's just a message board on the internet, so no one is going to be hurt, or lose their job, because of what someone says. The worst that can happen is someone is banned from TORn.

The admins watch HOW someone posts, not necessarily WHAT they post. We have defended folks who don't like the movies as well as those who do. We have admonished people who love the movies as well as those who do not. We discuss what's happening on the boards every day, and always come to a consensus before we take any action. Most of the people never see what we do because it occurs via PM.

It does help to have a sense of humor while posting. I've found that a smile or a laugh can usually dissolve tension and help people find common ground.
