The Sky is Blue!

Your point was fallacious as it has nothing to do with the subject matter of the game.

If anything, the contrast between how he created a "The Sky is Blue" verse mine proves MY point that it is the tone and construct of a thread that matters.

He made "The sky is blue" added no context in a place that requires it, and writes 'let's see what happens'. That's easily a troll post in a General Discussion board about Final Fantasy XIV.

Here, I took that very same phrase, and made it relevant to FFXIV and the current events, and did so in a positive light.

Let's see which garners fewer insults.

You posted a picture of Dalamund and in lieu of that people automatically decided that's that this thread was about.

If you had posted a picture like this:
Titled "The sky is blue in this picture" I bet the results would have been the same as the other thread.

Titled "The sky is blue in this picture" I bet the results would have been the same as the other thread.

Because the resulting responce would be "... and?"

You're not making a discussion topic at that point. You are making a statement of fact- that's not is not the proper way to make a thread.

The color of the sky is an irrevant topic to FFXIV, and it is irrelvant to the point of your argument - a red herring, if you will.

The point you were trying to prove, and have lost sight of, is that 90% of the threads in this forum will disolve into arguments regardless of what the topic is or how it is made.

But look at my thread creation history a moment.

None of them have dissolved into heated flame wars. Every time someone attempted, I diffused it.
I even turned a 'yet another complaint about the lack of 2.0 info thread' into something everyone could laugh at.

Tone is everything here.
