... yeah, if actually trying to answer someone's question is policing the forum, I think I'll just stop trying to help the person making that accusation. Have fun, folks.

Thank you for accusing me of fabricating a fact.

I mean... You gave a "fact". I said "You made that up". Then you "Gave a completely different fact and presented it as the first".

As for "The purpose of the thread" splitting threads and making more isn't so much an issue. So much I don't get the idea of policing threads to enforce the use of the splits.

It is one thing to... for example... Have a "Game thread"... But then someone comes along and makes a "RPG thread" and suddenly if you talk about an RPG in the Gamethread... it is anathema and you will be redirected to the RPG Thread, even if the gamethread isn't "Completely overwhelmed by RPGs" (Where such policing would make sense).

Do not pick a fight or insult another poster.  Do not continue a fight if you feel you have been insulted.  Report it to the moderator.  If you instead respond in kind, you run the risk of being considered part of the problem.
I forgot what a pain in the ass it is to get dates from unquotable threads right.

I feel that people feel, consciously or subconsciously, that they have been insulted, which is why this discussion is becoming rapidly more and more heated, from what I see.
I don't want to say "take it out of the thread", but taking this discussion to PMs in an option.

I usually find that diffuses most situations I am in. Though it always feels... manipulative or dishonest to solve things behind doors.

What? Behind closed doors is the best place to solve stuff, as long as it's done properly and with everyone's best interest at heart!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I would appreciate it if multiple someones could give me a few real-life supervillains, major and minor, and include the country and year they began their rise to power. I need a base line.

Really, you'd just want to look through the folks that ran this. Couple of centuries of producing real life supervillians, that company managed. Nation(s) would be britain and associated colonies and whatnot, from the 1600s through the 1800s. Or just use the company itself as an example -- it's significantly easier to find organizations that count collectively as a supervillain than individuals.

I'm looking for more recent examples for a base line.
