Stop Player Bashing

[Amerlyn]

There's a huge difference between someone liking ketchup and ramen together, and someone telling others that Twilight belt is better than Black belt for Monk. It isn't. One is an opinion, the other is simply false.

Not completely correct. In the one persons opinion it is better, in the others it isn't. It still revolves around a players opinion. Even if the majority's opinion says its not. It is still the persons opinion that it is. You can post your opinion on a subject, thats your opinion/suggestion. No one should start bashing another player just to force them to agree. Make your opinion and let them figure it out for themselves. Or continue to discuss the opinions w/out bashing, like we are now. I'm not going to force my opinion on you, just hope that you take my words into consideration.

This is patently incorrect, unfortunately. It's not really of "Well I like Orange more than Yellow", or "Well I like Red more than Blue". If the question is "Which belt contributes more damage to a Monk, Twilight belt or Black belt?" The answer is Black belt. Pure and simple. It is not an opinion, it is an easily provable fact backed by very simple mathematics.

5 > 4 is not an opinion. If it is someone's opinion that 3 is larger than 7, that person is wrong, opinion or not.

Lol, well I never said ones opinion is wrong or not. I just said it is they're opinion. Even if they are proven wrong. It is still they're opinion. They have to learn for themselves. And shouldn't be bashed for. It still leads back to my original topic. A person shouldn't be bashed. There is absolutely no reason to bash anyone other than to deal with your aggrovation or boost your own ego. If someone is being an idiot even if you point out the truth to them you shouldn't bash them just ignore them and move on. Let them fall prey to they're own miscomings if they don't want to listen. How does a child learn what "hot" is? Its not because a grown up tells them. They will keep trying to touch it until they find out it is hot. then they Learn. Sounds like thats what this person needs. If he/she doesn't listen then they simply need to try it and learn they are wrong. Some people you cannot convince unless they do it themselves. And sometimes even then they won't believe it.

The OP of that topic was pretty much covering his ears and saying, "La la la la." He shouldn't be receiving sympathy from anyone for getting bashed.

I could care less whether or not someone believes something which is incorrect. Players can believe that trees are made of bubble gum and rainbows and it doesn't bother me one bit. Just don't expect people to sit back quietly if these players try and *teach others* that Trees are made of bubble gum and rainbows. They're not.

Again that falls for the person being taught to believe or not. I'm sure they will come across someone who will tell them different. At that point they will have to decide for themselves to believe it or not. You stated your opinion on the matter, you tried to set them straight. In the end it all revolves around what they decide to believe. Not sure if you grew up with parents who made you believe in Santa Claus or not, but I'm sure there were people trying to tell you different when you grew up. In the end you made your own decision. This is what they are going to have to decide for themselves. Still no reason to bash them for it. (The topic is stop player bashing - a set rule for the forum).
