sigh. cant pull the 'old timer' card with me, LoSboccacc.
I'm as crass and cranky as anyone, but we still shouldn't be shits to people. This thread is much MUCH better than some of the rest of Other Games, so it might not in reality be the best example of the problem.
And I'll confess, scrolling back through, it doesn't look like anyone was actually rude to the guy since Tack's post on page 277, so we can all blame him for us not having a CM remake now.
But I'm still a bit put off -- not just about this, but about the anonymous forum in general. This isn't a matter of being overly PC, no one here is fighting for social justice or anything like that.We can be crude and joke around, but we shouldn't be any different than we would be at the pub, right?
We're all here as guests of Bay12, and we should try to make sure that they have a decent and welcoming community so people stay, enjoy their game(s), and donate to the cause.
And I'm not the enforcer of that, you know? And I don't want to be. I want to joke around and be rude to guys like you and Nenjin, because you're grownups and can take it. And in general, we lay off on the noobs until they get their feet under them. Like I said, there was exactly one rude post to the guy three pages back, and even after that Tack was pretty decent to him.
But the reality is, my Ignore list is now almost 40 users long, maybe this just isn't the place for me anymore. It has been some good times since 2006, but I think there are fundamentally unresolvable problems with anonymous forums.
I think I'm out guys. I'll buy you a beer if we ever meet up, but I'm through with anon internet chatting.
