Well, you shoul kn- wait. What is this... A flame! He is flaming us! He's a flamer! How could I not have known earlier! An no, I'm not maliciously accusing: I'm stating a fact.

As for being civil - or pretending to be civil, I doubt many folks will go for that. Personally, I'd rather people just say what's on their minds - ugly or nice instead of pretending to like one another.

I don't think anyone's asking for false civility, or false anything. The point was more about not acting like a shouty little imbecile while giving whatever views you have. Maybe I'm misunderstanding Gonger's idea though.

This actually made me laugh out loud in the office. A flame war with the title "how to represent PlaneShift".  :lol:

Apparently I missed something because... in the past two pages, there is no flaming. I'm not sure you two understand the meaning of that word.

Link to (might have NSFW ads I can't see) this ridiculous site. Please take a read and stop trying to incite a war yourself.

In case you didn't get it, Mishka, I posted that I couldn't understand you because I literally did not understand you. Nothing you said made sense to me. Your response was rude, so don't expect something too kind back.

I don't think I've ever been told "You're wrong" by someone who was actually right. If someone's right, they skip right over that and explain why. In all the cases I've been flat-out told "You're wrong!" that person has only ever had a very shaky understanding of whatever subject it may be or they are afraid that their own understanding of the material is not good enough. It's pathetic.

This is exactly what I was talking about. -_-

On topic:

This is a game. It's obviously not a restaurant. I knew that wouldn't be a great analogy, but it was close enough. Although, I'm fairly certain people do not judge a restaurant based on the customers. I never have. None of my friends do. It's safe to say the rest of humanity doesn't as well. The only reasons I would avoid a restaurant would be because 1) the food is bad, 2) the owners are rude, or 3) it's stanky.

Like I said earlier, and I will say again: people are pretty much the same everywhere.

Yeah, Volki. Everyone's an a**hole, and they all stink... Oh wait... or was it "Opinions are like a**holes, everyone has one, and they all stink." Well, either way, there's a terrible stench here on the forum that just refuses to leave.  I have my suspicions as to why and where its coming from... >.>

This applies to politics too, btw.

Interesting thread. This discussion reminds me of simular ones on the OSGrid Forum. There, too, is a project in development. The devs have enough testers for their needs and they get to use the software as characters/avatars. There are those who decry the admin on OSGrid for not caring for the community enough... of enforcing policies that thwart it. My experience has been that those which make the hue and cry just don't get Open Source. The great part about it is that if one does not like aspects of the admin of a certain Open Source Project they can simple develop their own fork.

My general observations are that those which squeak the loudest thinks Perl is something Grandma mutters while knitting and Java is something you drink.
