I've tried my best to create Utopia.
For those who enjoy the rough and tumble, start your threads in the original courtyard cafe.
For those who want a more civilised discussion, start them in the moderated courtyard cafe.
You can even post the same message in both cafes if you so choose to see which section of the courtyard leads to a more rewarding experience.
At the end of the day, market forces will decide which section is more popular and I'll the allow the losing section to die a natural death.
I didn't put much thought into choosing the mods. Singveld is there because he started the whole discussion on this issue. The others were chosen as they appear to be civilized members of this forum.
Have fun.
