No way to represent the flood as a whole? If you weren't doing that, this thread wouldn't exist. And how is the flood a bad "forum mate"? Reach Forum users fill the Septagon with complaints because they think Bungie is going to see it here. That's a bad "forum mate"
Just because one in ten bears don't attack you doesn't mean a random bear won't.
Neither did I say the Reach forum was the epitome of perfection, the difference is organised attacks don't really come out of it, the disruption caused by floodians in the Reach forum was done by the same group of people and condensed within a short timespan meaning it wasn't just a confused new user, it was a attack.
And that in turn pissed off Reach forum goers and the flood started getting attacked, hell I usually have nothing against the flood and those threads alone made me wanna spam the crap out of them.
(Granted I don't really have stuff against the flood but that doesn't mean it's behaviour is acceptable, like I don't have anything against bears but I still don't think they should be let in the streets and be allowed to start mawling people.)
Just because one bored Flood user spams the Reach forums doesn't mean there was an organized attack.
Since you seem to think the Flood is a hivemind with a definite personality, I, a part of that sentient being, can confirm there was no such organization. We, The Flood, call these unorganized spammers "Trolls" and I'm sure you're familiar with them. These trolls are not confused new users. They are bored people that like to piss other people off.
And you don't have stuff against the Flood? *Reads thread title*
