There was this country in central Europe which tried it pre and during WWII along with another small country to the south, there was another larger country, to the east, which tried it a few decades earlier whilst going through a revolution. Someone mentioned a S.E.Asian country bunging it on in the 70's... well there was another country to the west of that one which also did it, and opened up entire fields for the end result. To the north of those two is another large country trying it on again today.
A certain 'church' also tried it a couple of centuries ago, and man did they have the tools to do it with! As well, there is another "church" also trying it on today.
The mindset of "making" people see only the one point of view IS WRONG!
the aim of that tactic is to have "dissenters" walk away

It's more about getting people to discuss things in a sensible, constructive and adult manner (something I'll wholeheartedly and honestly admit that I fail at from time to time) instead of being small-minded, foul-mouthed and frothing trolls. People are entitled to having their point of view, but they should also be able to discuss that point of view in, again, a constructive manner. Which is something that we've seen fail time and time again here.
Or to put it bluntly: Behave, or face the consequences. Forums on the 'net has never been, is not and will never be a democracy.
ALL of them are dictatorships in one form or another, and you accept that when you create your account and when you log into them. Free speech does
NOT exist on a forum, although that's something many people utterly forget or don't bother realizing.
In my opinion, the moderators should have been way harsher in removing those that cannot or will not behave and post in a sensible manner. At this point it's not even worth discussing, as most of the posts on this forum has long since outlived their usefulness apart from a historical record of a game that had impossibly high expectations facing it from the community.
