Baudle is my hero

[Hyrist]

Pretty sure it's not me that's the problem. It's the posters posting in it. I mean one guy called me a "rancid *** ***" Sooooo like ya.... if people didn't go OMGS ROKIEN EWW GTFO OMG GTFO QUIT THE GAME OMG YOU R ES STUPIDO OMG GO DIE OMG OMG OMG OMG ANEURISM!!!

Who is worse, the guy who spouts those things, or the guy who intentionally goes about provoking multiple people who spouts those things.

Do you blame the bugs that sting you when you smack a hornets nest? You know the consequences of flooding the forums with inane topics, you do so anyways. The vulgar responses you receive is just the fringe of the bulk of the players who are exasperated by your inability to catch a hint and calm down on the posting.

Are they wrong for being vulgar? Yes. Are you also wrong for baiting them? Yes, stop doing it.

Nope, your SE account rules state it & as your using your SE account to log into forums it "could" still apply, but im not any other those things i listed so i couldnt tell you for sure if it applys here or not.

Nevermind i think your right, different rules here

but for loadstone it does.

How is Rokien impersonating a GM again?

[Neptune]

I'm no Baudle, but I'd like to remind you all to stay on topic, refrain from personal attacks, and try to keep to the uplifting and positive tone of this thread.

[Hyrist]

I think we handled that little caveat, Dragon.

Be sure to note that in your Facebook Group.

I just wish people would treat each other with more kindness and respect. You don't deserve all the hate you get. I just wanted you to know that. I don't mean to take sides or anything like that. Would just be nice to see more tolerance for each others differences. We don't have to agree with someone all the time to show them respect.

I have a feeling I should run and hide now before the flames start! haha :x
Edit: Oh wait, that's right... I HAVE A FORT! XD *ducks behind barrels*

Funny thing about respect. It goes both ways or it does not function at all. There have been people who've given Roiken his earned dose of respect and not received it in kind when it comes to feedback about his thread creating. Even while I've been harsh in his critisim, I still get that he has a pourpose behind him. But he's beyond the point where his is doing his own cause no credit. Wherever you want to lay the blame, him posting support behind one of his ideals at this point now discredits that ideal by default - that's how bad his reputation has become here, deserved or not is irrelevant at this point.

He needs to seek a different course of behavior if he cares at all about his own credibility or the success of his goals. And if he does not care about either, then at that point he crosses the line between standing for his beliefs, and blatant trolling.

It's not as if people are unwilling to discuss his ideas. But he needs to learn moderation, in the number of threads his posts and he needs to learn organization in properly displaying his ideals as a whole, rather than breaking each aspect of an ideal into individual threads. As I stated before about his most recent forum flooding: The entirty of his idea span could have been condensed down into a "I want to extend party playtime." thread, listing his ideas under that canopy. It would have made it a lot easier to explain why people disagree with the premise, and provide examples on how some of his more general wishes are already being met by gameplay, as well as offering alternatives to meet the same goal without narrowing the game's appeal.

As it stands, the discussion on the general topic is now split between a handful of locked threads and one derailed argument. That's a good example as to how his methods sabotage his intentions.

I got caught in the collatoral damage of a thread last week, even though I didn't break any rules seemingly. So just be warned if your posting in a inflamitory thread, don't even quote inflamitory posts as it seems you will catch the painfull end of the stick as well.

To be on point of the topic though...

I think the entire forum has a long way to go in respecting one another for their ideals and opinions. I too often see the "Casual vs Hardcore" war just flat out turn into both sides spitting vitrol regardless of the topic at hand it usually gets put on the back-burner and the limelight becomes who can post the most witty retort about the other side of the argument.

We need to discuss things like adults. If you come to the forums and are not willing to be civil with everyone then it's those people who need to "Get out"

I just wanted to say-

I forgot what I wanted to say.
