A thermometer symbol below the idea that shows its ranking on the heated debate scale.
When somebody posts an annotation, they can click how heated they are when they post it by hitting one of ten submittal buttons at the bottom from 1 (calm and peaceful) to 10 (blind rage)
The average anger ranking
is shown on the post so we can all go right to the most heated ones or avoid them as the person's taste dictates.
So you'd see:

Kittens as fur coats for rich people would never sell: they're too cheap. Pandas, on the other hand . . . that bicolour thing is pretty, an adult panda is a little larger than a human, being a vegetarian the meat wouldn't be all gristly . . . |
|
| |
Wouldn't the kittens scratch the wearer and be too fidgety? |
|
| |
No, you staple them together with the legs outwards. |

ime, halfbakery rarely has flame wars. It has either one idiot prodding the other users, or the other users prodding the idiot. |
|
| |
That being an example of the former I presume? |

There have been some very interesting debates on this site where people from different perspectives have made valid points. These debate posts like 21's "Welfare Reform Compromise #21" are pretty popular for a good reason. Smart people don't always agree on complicated issues, that's what makes discussions interesting. Until some idiot starts calling people idiots. (irony noted) |

// It has either one idiot prodding the other users, or the other users
prodding the idiot. // |
|
| |
What if the users are idiots too ? |
|
| |
Impossible. When a group of people band together they're always really smart. |
|
| |
//That being an example of the former I presume?//
a hit, a very palpable hit |
|
| |
How about a gentle nudge to the ribs with a wink and a smile? |
|
| |
C'mon Cal old buddy, throw us a bun. You know you like a good word slingin' match as much as the next guy. |
|

//nudge ... wink //
say no more |

No slapping, only hugs allowed here. |

I declare this post a goovy love zone. Nude dancing is encouraged. |
|
| |
I've been in a state of 10 (blind rage) for years now. |
|
| |
Good. If you're not angry you're not paying attention. |
|
| |
Personally fell of the scale about 3 years ago (only so long you can maintain blind rage before you conclude nothing will change or help & collapse into complete apathy). |
|
| |
I like to tread the line between dauntless crusader
and apathetic bemused onlooker. |
|
| |
Much depends on whether or not there's a game on
that day. |
|
| |
Very wise, occasionally switching between the two may help stave off the inevitable burnout a tad longer. |
