"Raging" isn't the right word for it. "Spouting BS like facts" is more like it.

I'm sorry, I just had to fix one last thing before my final departure.
*Still waiting for you to quote one of my arguments*

Any day now.

To be clear, I never said you weren't mature. By "Someone who is mature about this whole situation", I mean someone who isn't a brony, but is mature about this. They don't appear in every thread flaming to no end. Also, I'm talking about you guys and Duardo.
If they have no opinion on the show, then how could they even understand the situation?

I mean someone who has seen the show, and can respect your opinion. He could be a brony, but that'd be everyone in this thread, except MURDUR, so I want an opinion from each side that isn't blind.
Fine, I'm not completely sure, but Zag seems like a good choice. Note that this person isn't in the MLP group, I have no affiliation with him, he may not care to join this conversation, and from what I have gathered, he has watched the show but hasn't gone crazy about it.

Like I said, I have no idea, but from a thread that I just dug up, he seems like a good candidate.

Refer to earlier post. I'm not hatin', I'm a brony myself. I said to get someone who isn't really a brony, so I can't contribute to that.


my bad, seemed like you were calling that guy immature, hard to tell sometimes

but still, you seem like a neutral, what do you think about the MLP spamming on the flood?

Sorry, I'm listening to the CMCT, so I can't say I'm neutral.

It may have very well offended someone, but all I'm seeing in this thread are the only people he could have insulted. Don't you think it's better to get an opinion from both sides?

What other side? You mean the retarded trolls who just spam pony hate threads on the flood?
Great idea!...
They are getting to be "Porch Day" or "Injury Day" level except it happens everyday, and we want to put a stop to it... Simple as that.

Hows about someone who is mature about this whole situation?


how bout you come up with a counter argument?
don't wait for someone else, take some initiative.

unless you have something to say your just spamming, and proving our points, people don't have a counter argument.
Fuzzy, shut up, he already explained what he meant. HE wasn't saying im not the mature one.


:,/ i know, he posted that while i was typing.

ITT: My question to mods if ponies will ever be banned turned into an idiotic flame war
It isn't a flame war, we are actually having a logical debate (for the most part), which I am enjoying. I do find it strange how they tend to respond so quickly to my posts when I tell them to read certain links which are rather long.

Against what? That Duardo should be banned? That MLP threads should be banned because of a few trolls?

From someone who has a neutral opinion, I think MLP hate threads hold exactly the same value as Rap hate threads. Anyone who agrees that rap sucks (and that's most people) will step in there and start babbling about how much they hate rap, and anyone who tries to walk in there and say otherwise will get flamed. So maybe we should ban rap threads while we're at it...hell, lets ban MW3 threads, "Your favorite metal" threads, and any other threads that people will have largely negative opinions on.

I would suggest to the haters (not you, necessarily, since you seem to be somewhat fluent with the community) to check my Equestria Daily and Know Your Meme posts.

MLP threads have the least discussion value of them all. No one even uses valid reasons in them. At least in rap or BF3 threads, there's less trolls, and aren't often at all.

As much as you may hate to admit it, a thread such as "Who is your favorite pony and why?" holds more discussion value than "I hate rap" because it presents a question for the users to answer and why they think that way, rather than "rap sucks." Remember, just because you have seen the thread a dozen times does not mean that the discussion value has been rendered null. Look at this thread for example. Typical brony thread, but look at what it has evolved into: We are actually arguing without flaming each other.

read the previous posts, i'm really not the guy who should be arguing, i'm frankly not the most serious person when it comes to arguing on the internet.

mostly i was referring to that murdur or w/e his name is, who had no valid argument and was getting his ass handed to him by PMC fluffy

But a pony hate thread, has less value then a rap hate thread.

And no matter what, the only exception being late-night flood, MLP threads will always turn into flamewars.
I'm on the flood almost all day, with nothing better to do. I've seen 2-3 MLP threads during these last few months that could hold a discussion value. The rest were being molested alive by flame-wars.

And who's fault is this? Bronies don't hate on themselves, so it can only be the fault of the trolls or people who dislike MLP.

I know, I'm trying to get my point across here. Very few people that are haters/neutral have valid opinions. I'll be honest, I've seen quite a few of you bronies without valid reasons before.

See the rapist.
I don't like rap.

*facepalm*

My two cents.

From briefly looking at the Flood for the past two months I've noticed that not a single pony thread has been made by a brony or even discussing the actual show. The problem is not the bronies, it is the trolls and haters.

We're taking the easy and cowards way out by trying to end discussion of MLP in the mains, when in reality the mods should do their job and enforce the rules. Seriously, there's like 40 of you. Where have you been?

My idea is to reinstate Play Nice. For you newer guys, its basically marshall law of the forums. Back when it was first around the minimum ban length was 14 days, if my memory serves me well. Make nothing but hateful comments? Banned. Incite a flame war? Banned.

Should it go into effect everyone will be too scared to flame, and actual discussion may occur again.

Neither do MLP threads, as far as I can see...I really didn't notice a big influx of them until last night. And I barely noticed more then 3-4 of them. If I remember correctly, most of those were hate threads, so why even bother? If every one of those hate threads were trolls, then take the appropriate measure; don't feed them.

Ponies shouldn't be discussed on the main forums for one sole reason.

Flame wars...

We can't discuss religion because it erupts into flame wars. We can't discuss politics, flame wars.

So why are we not allowed to talk about Religion, politics, and what have you... But pony threads will go on until they erupt into flame wars. They always do. As long as there will be a fan base for that crap, there will be an opposing side to it as well.

I should know, considering I hate this MLP: FiS crap more than anybody else. But I keep most of it in the private groups. I'm tired of seeing it on the mains.
