How to deal with flamewars in the chats.

Ok, so I am watching top game and these two guys start arguing about religion (lots of swear words and heretical threats were used). Naturally as a typical member I attempt to defuse the argument but then lots more people are drawn in and start insulting each other. Then I get insulted and sworn at for trying to keep the peace. What do I do??

Fayyaz, what is your specific religion that you follow?

Avatar of FES314

I sorta believe in science.

Who is Fayyaz?

Its YOU, you silly rascal.  So science and no higher power.  Did your parents not believe in a higher power, too?

Stay on the forum topic if you please.

If you claim I am 'Fayyaz', who the heck are you?

Me?  I'm a great kid.....Now let's get back to your discussion of religion. 

 And don't block - blocking out, even if its hard to discuss, isn't healthy.

The original question is for advice against trollers starting arguments, not a religious debate.

What?  Oh.  Oh ok.  I thought maybe it would refresh the thread a bit if you went a few different ways with it.

That is an interesting concept. Thanks for the idea.

ANYWAY, back to original thread.

To extinguish the flamewar do it with a fire extinguisher.

simple, make a second account and start arguing with yourself until your topic becomes a hot topic

Kelvin, why did you go with just the yellow star?  For an extra 2 bucks a month, you could have a diamond!

I did for a little while but was disappointed with the videos it got no subtitle. So it wasn't worth it for me.

Ya, I suppose the main thing for the diamond is the videos.  Your English seems quite good.  You needed the subtitles?

My parents believed in a higher power. I think I have mostly talked my mom out of it though.

Why listen to macer75 and that respawner musahcha ? Don't, they are not worth it. Thanks for the compliment. I need the subtitles because I can't hear.

In order for something to be real, it must be seen?  Do you both now believe that after death, there is truly nothing?
