I have seen topics where it\'s obvious people are getting angry  and that isn\'t the right atmosphere for a discussion.

Ever heard of tact Demarthl? Think there are plenty of ways to tell something without bringing an uber load of negativity and still not explode.

Go boxing or something if you need to release your anger don\'t use this forum for it.

I mentioned nothing about anger pestilence, see thats part of the problem here, everyone is so afraid of being themselves and getting shunned out they build up this personality to go infront of them as a shield, you cant hurt it, for its not real, its witty sly and quick to stab in the dark.

you might find that if oyu be yourself, and everyone else did the same the entire community would get alkong a lot better, try it sometime

Another problem is that the \"community\" is made up of people ranging from 10 year olds to people with kids.

zzz... this whole thread is about forum mentality and about being nice and yet you guys just keep verbally stabbing eachother in the back. Serious wtf, I see whats going on here. Just like in real life, people have problems with each other. Thats all, you will always have issues with other people on different discussion. Freaking even with close friends you can get into really bad heated discussions which could lead to fights. Seriously, if you do keep your emotions bottled up, its even worse.

[Pestilence]

emotions are meant to be shown,

anger is an emotion Demarthl. Not all emotions should be acted upon.


I am myself thats why I do care. If it was all just an act and it didn\'t hurt me at all why would I start this thread?

Answer: I do care when someone is bashing me and even when it is someone else sometimes.

stabbing one in the back? That would mean we trust eachother Externals

And yep this isn\'t an old issue I have posted in threads before when I thought someone was being over negative. Also with Karyuu once, but didn\'t start it to taunt Karyuu or something.

I really think the forums should be more accepting and I do think the GMs should be an example in this and thats why I made the post to Karyuu before.

Further evidence of stupidity and flaming:

I do not \"whine\".  Someone asked to be shown examples of unjustified rudeness and flaming, and I have supplied such an example.

Why get uppity about it?  If you really think that I\'m \"whining\", then just ignore my posts.  No one\'s forcing you to do anything else. :-D

I meant to explain, but was getting yelled at to help short people.

In any case, I was referring to most of your previous posts on this board that I\'ve read.  Including the post you linked commenting \"stupidity and flaming\" of which I see neither, minor disagreements are not considered flaming.  You even seem to be provoking them with your comments about their guild.  This is what I consider to be whining.

And I don\'t ignore posts because I don\'t wish to miss an important point in an argument (or a bad point, which I can slap down easily).

1. i don\'t like threads with long posts
2. i like boards where people are sarcastic and even mean at times. You hear some of the funniest insults that way
3. it takes two to tango... if you get insulted/flamed you could always laugh it off and ignore it or try to respond with an equally witty remark and start/continue the flame war.
4. i am amazed that this board functions... we have people from 13 to 43... and we get along well.. you even see 15 year old and 25 year old having intelligent discussions... i\'ve never seen that happen outside of internet.
5. this post is becoming long and i am starting to hate it
6. bye

You have odd definitions of whining and flaming.  Me thinks you are using those words out of context for the sake of effect.

Saw it, read it.  Very dispointing behaviour.

The forums seem to be getting better.  Many of the flamers (and I mean peope who flame threads ) have left the boards.  Now there still is plenty of idiots to go around and there is still room for improvement all the way around (basic forum goers, GMs and Mods).  There are obvious problems here... but what can we do?  For one, many of the newer people who are coming to this forum are nicer and usually less arogant people.  This will help.  But this is going to take time.  The bad thing is so many good people have already left .
