I am not sure this belongs here perhaps "off-topic" but I think it need to be reiterated about forums.
I read a post the other day, I believe by Gothique, about "how to post." I noticed the last paragraph which could be summed up into don't post negatively. I wanted to expand in this direction.
When did it become the norm to attack people in an argument instead of offer counter points and constructive criticism. I too have been guilty of this but, it was out of pure frustration, can no one argue or debate aspects of this game without eventually resorting to personal attacks and flames.
Even more deceptive are posters that, on the surface, seem to be offering a counter point to your argument yet, are merely good with writing and have effectively diluted your argument to everyone else and tried to make you look the fool.
Can I state my opinion, no matter how ridicules without being called "ignorant" or that my argument "holds no water"? I want to be able to state an argument and/opinion and debate it, I have an open mind I listen, heck, I have even changed my mind before. I am not so firmly entrenched in my ideas and opinions as to believe they are without reproach.
"can't we all just get along.."
Sorry I just need to get that out. I wrote this because I saw someone else's opinion hacked and attacked and the poor poster caved.
We all love the game else we wouldn't be here, remember that, we're in this together...
