Inappropriate. Went a little to far with the butt hole tearing.

Brevity is the soul of wit, yo.

I've been here a decent amount of time to know you're all crazy

Think of the most tight-knit communities, much like a group of friends, humans are bound to have emotion that changes every day. It's passion

It's a double-edged sword. Gamers are a passionate bunch. That nova-hot enthusiasm enables them to build thriving communities that outlast the very games that sparked them alight. That same passion will provoke them to bouts of rage.

I agree that respect for one another is crucial to harmony. I agree that not taking one's self (or others) too seriously is a gold-plated survival tactic. I do not, however, suffer from any delusions that everyone on this website will get along.

We have forms of control in place to keep the hostilities to a dull roar. When they rise to a full roar, we react. I think the darkness has cultivated a sense of intimacy on this forum. The fair weather fans have wandered off, and left an iron core of old-schoolers to hold court with one another. That doesn't mean that our interactions will be perfect.


I began writing a post similar to this, but for necessity's sake, imma just quote.

I don't agree with your opinion cause of X, Y, and Z.
This is criticism.

Obvious troll, how DARE you say that about [insert topic here], I can't believe you could be so heartless.
This is NOT criticism and this is all I get whenever I post my opinions. And what's worse, I get lashed out by a majority of the posters so that when Moderation does come in, I'M branded the troll just because I don't agree with them.

That's not fair, that's a completely flawed system that's only flawed because other posters expect me to automatically agree with them on a topic that's not allowed anyways.

You are "allowed" to have whatever opinions you want.

But by expressing your opinions, you are exposing yourself to criticism.

That's other people's opinion about your opinion. And it's not limited to "this community".
