I'm mostly a reader of the political threads, but I think "The Soapbox" really tells you what people would be doing there. Seeing as where a lot of the political thread contributors are from, maybe call it the "MassDebate" .

How about 'The Poop Deck' since we've already got The Scuppers -

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.

Don't think we need one really. There have only been a few heated threads and it'll die down alot once the seasons over.

(and RIJUMMY's still wrong)

Well, maybe - but tey would normally go to the Scuppers but with all the headbutting and poli-trolling going on in the Scuppers, looks like we need a place to flush THAT stuff too


BTW - I like "Circular Arguments" - very appropriate....
