I know we need to get our emotions out, I know this is a horrible event...but lately it seems that from the non stop media overload that people are starting to panic over this.

Just a suggestion that maybe the amount of threads on this be limited for a little while til peoples emotions cool down a bit.

I just want to add that I am not trying to devalue the situation, I just think that the overload is just going to escalate peoples already hightened emotions.

Thank you.

I don't think there is much that can be done outside of closing duplicate/similar threads. This is simply the only thing people are talking about online and off.

I think it's only understandable that the terrorist attacks are going to be the biggest topic of discussion for awhile. I don't see any sign of this topics ending soon being that a counter attack is imminent. In other words, the $hit hasn't even hit the fan yet!

We're working to close duplicate threads, but there is no way I am going to close off this outlet in the slightest. People need this. I know I do.

I kinda agreed with Knight.

To add to what has been said, it remains open for those who wish to start discussions on other topics to do so.

Natural selection may have a part in determining whether such threads take off.

I think this will self regulate as well - as the country starts caring about other things, so will the Other forum..

At first there was 100% threads on it.. now we are down to 40% or so.
