As a relatively novice referee compared to many here, when the bull elephants are "rampaging around the room" I just stay in my corner and watch and learn as I hope the other rookies, newbies, and lurkers do.

How does that old expression go, "It is better to keep one's mouth shut and be thought of as ignorant, than it is to open one's mouth and confim it." (or something like that). So, I just stay quiet and listen.

I have felt some topics/discussions have gotten a bit over-heated (read - old school back in the day), but, that's part of the "charm" of the board for me. I find this an invaluable tool - inspite of some of its warts - which are to be expected I suppose. JMO
