I was going to say that "worries, concerns, fears" needs some war-positive nouns mixed in, but I'm not sure how one would do that without looking silly.

Can I argue against a thread which is obviously to discuss military action? Not because I don't wanna talk about it, but because I've never seen such a thread not attract serious trols and flamers - at least 2 boards I liked have become uninhabitable because of that syndrome. If we must have such a thread, I suggest an elliptical title so it's not that obvious.

Thanks for all the fish.
Trudy made a suggestion when the subject came up in Bitches. Lemme find it.

Which, as long as flamers don't mistake it as a religious thread, should be nicely obscure, don't you think?

I think this is an incredibly difficult goal. I think military action is deeply rooted in both foreign and domestic politics. Not that I'm advocating for this, but it seems to me if you make a thread to discuss war you will, not only draw the trolls as Jim suggests, but you will also end up with a political thread.
I'm against it (surprise! given my anti-thread proliferation stance). But I have already learned I'm in the minority when it comes to thread proliferation so I've given up hope entirely.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
