note: "an argument is a set of one or more declarative sentences (or "propositions") known as the premises along with another declarative sentence (or "proposition") known as the conclusion" (off 'net)
As a Philosophy minor, I shudder whenever I hear 1) people mistake sniping and back-biteing for an argument, and 2) people claiming any conflict or argument is bad (or "not good for anyone").
Instead of trying to practice every fallacy in the book, why not stick the the premises and the validity of each others arguements. Oh wait, this is the 'net. If someone disagrees with you they are obviously eitehr insane or just trying to cause trouble.
back to topic.... I am spending a lot more time on ezpcusa, which I refer to as "ezpc" which I pronounce as "easy peasy", a phrase meaning Really REALLY easy. I also call the Fragnetics server "fragnetics". or Frag for short. Fragnetics and ezpcusa are donating their server space to PS, I think it is only fair to at a minimum, to refer to the servers by their name, instead of making up new names for them.
ezpc residents seem more relaxed, more fun, and less eager to "be right" about RP. There seems to be some minor growing pains with people essentially trying to do similar trolling as we had with the
somethingawful forum members a while back, but even the leader of the griefers, Tuxide, was polite and even roleplayed a bit with me when I was RPing with my mule. (yes, we can admit to having alts there too!... I hope.
If anyone wants to RP, or even just interact in a more relaxed environment, I think ezpc is a great place. I know many of the RP freinds on frag I stopped RPing with because either they did not like my stye of "speaking" or they would chide me on yliakum history or lore, and I would be more correct than them... What, should I argue about how such and such a book in the DR says such and such? Oh bother... NVM.
