now that would seem a little stupid to me
it was lively discussion and i liked it
(did not post though myself and read only (large) chunks of it)
then there are still the moderators who can shut the whole damn thing down before it comes to a melt down (their(!) duty that)
if you yourself strayed into ugliness an apology might be warranted
but there is a huge difference between careening into the realm of the nasty (might even be a legitimate communicative tool on occasion) or beeing gratuitously nasty on default
there will come the time when we are minded by net-bots
in these happier times we should be thankful for the (mostly) subtle decerning intelligence of our wet ware minders
