That's 61,663 bytes, so using ASCII at one byte a letter, around 10thousand words?

Hmmm ..

A picture that's only worth 1,000 words would have to be very tiny then?

Anyways, wandering dangerously back on topic ...

Why not just have an 'anything goes' area of the forum for debates?

I don't think rules (above and beyond the basic forum rules) are worthwhile for three main reasons:

1. 99% of people wouldn't understand them.

2. 99% of people wouldn't follow them if they did understand them.

(2&3 being evidential from 100% of all attempts to have serious debate on 100% of all forums anyone here has ever been a member of?)

3. 1% of people don't need any rules in the first place.

Basicaly forum debates always turn into unruly, undisciplined blood baths with only 1% of all contributors actualy contributing anything; So why not start them off that way?
