Seriously guys, I get this is the RPGsite, and you don't have to be civil.

However, just because it isn't enforced doesn't mean that you'll be listened too because you are being an ass.

In fact, it just means larger ignore lists for some people. Or for those of us who rarely use them, a complete discounting of your opinions, without hitting the button.


Lately, it seems as if this site has been far more scathing than it has any reason to be, so, kindly, please, can we think a bit longer and be a bit nicer?

I get that sometimes the hellfires need to be unleashed on some people, but lets not be excessive here.

Please?

the only thing I see as really different is this thing with people claiming to have, "won the argument"...because they say so.

And people doing more (it has always been here) of starting the same fight in every thread, regardless of topic,

See what ya done ben, you've gone and upset silverlion.

And because they have solid statistics to back themselves up. Realism is objective, otherwise it would just be someone's opinion.

That's just silly shit that adults shouldn't indulge in. I make no apologies having done nothing wrong, I keep my arguments to the threads where they belong.

Silverlion's panties are in a twist because grubman surfaced to pimp his latest shit and my reply offended his delicate sensibilities.

I've seen grubman's shtick for years. The guy's an attention whore whose 'contributions' to different forums rarely consist of more than hawking whatever crap he's desperate for others to notice.

Compare him to Clash, who actually participates in discussions with more than advertising and masturbation.

Honestly, I was reading threads on my phone about stuff earlier and was like "sheesh people.."  then I saw this:

Which is really, really, the issue. A game writer comes to share his work, and gets lambasted for that? Really? (It is even in ADS where it belongs!)

As for Black Vulmea, I could point you at threads he's done for Supers! Triumphant! Or other games he's run/talked about and didn't write, but part of the reason he is less active is explicitly your kind of behavior. Its no skin off anyones nose if he tries to share his stuff, not really. Then again, he's actually adding to the hobby.*shrugs*

Actually, i moved it there from the main forum.

Oh okay, a BV drive by. Carry on.

That's fine, I imagine he'd have put it there himself if he'd realized.

I too have noticed a marked increase in shittyness on the forums lately.

My working theory is that someone has been daily pissing in our cereal.

Personally I won't rest until that man is found.

What is this commie hippie bullshit?

Jokes aside - the trouble is, Silverlion, that you are either civilised to understand this to begin with, or no effort short of a good beating (that your parents spared you/life spared you) will fix the situation. Or perhaps too much of that beating, and not enough...whatever passes for compassionate gestures these days.

Cereal is pregnant women's food.

So that's what that was - I thought the milk just passed its sell-by date.

You mean objective like the 30 years war happened in the Middle-ages?

The marked problem I'm seeing personally is that it becomes incredibly hard to have any discussion on this forum without running into some jackass willing to go full-on stupid down the deep end of complete nonsense to declare some "victory" in his schizophrenic world and avoid the responsibility of actually being wrong at all.

Or that other guy who keeps saying stupid shit about D&D that actually isn't in D&D at all, gets shown the relevant parts that are not saying what he thinks it's saying, then moves the goalposts to say it's about the settings, to get actual quotes that actually don't say what he says it's saying to then move the goalposts again about another setting to be proven wrong again and then claim it's about a tiny wheeny part of that quote ignoring the rest, which gets proven wrong again, to switch the goalposts again to say "well I never said the books said that, I meant to say they were unclear" which they weren't, but dude actually didn't read them for the last twenty years so couldn't possibly know about it in the first place.

I could do with less of this kind of teenage stubborn bullshit on the forums, guys.

Thank you.

I have to support silverlion's position here. I think in general the civility has gotten a lot worse around here. I like that we don't really mod that kind of stuff and in the past it has kept the place a bit more exciting and interesting. But it has been getting a bit much recently for my taste (which is one reason I have cut down on my postings).
