Title: Lets behave a little
Post by: ddaryl on October 18, 2001, 07:51:37 AM
Alot of us get into debates and like to poke fun at each other. I\'ve done it and alot of ya\'s also seem to be doing it.

BUT when we start getting 2 or 3 multiple page threads that have 2 pages of personal attacks and people complaining about it it needs to stop.


People have different views (welcome to the free world), and all systems have great games

but stick with the facts and try not to get to abusive. If someone calls you out beat them with facts and not in a flame fest

and if you can\'t beat them with facts well then you lost.



Otherwise we mods have little choice in the matter but to slap temp bans followed by full bans.

Free choice to represent personal opinion.

Isn\'t it taught since the beginning that you should respect other opinions, even if they differ from yours?

We are all human beings, remember that.

Most of us are stout enough to defend our opinions if they are attacked - but I prefer defending rather than attacking. If we all would just defend our opinions, nobody would attack, making us all happy.

I agree with ddaryl wholeheartedly.

I\'ve noticed that too and I agree 100%. We could all learn by Jumpman. What he did to get banned. We really need to calm down alittle. This is a place to have fun not rip eachother apart.

Each of us are unique in our perspectives/opinions, and we should have a voice to state our thoughts...  we shouldn\'t be afraid to comment on things because of fear of getting flamed for 10 pages after...

That\'s right.  You can have an opinion on a game and that\'s fine, but don\'t attack a fellow gamer.

It\'s like they say...

Don\'t hate the playa, hate the game.

...

Eh?  Eh?  That just came to me so I hurried over to share it. :)

You, my fellow gamer, suck! :D

I don\'t think getting into heated debates is bad at all, nor is letting an ocassional insult fly off. When it really gets bad is when the debate turns into a contest of who said what and who insulted whom first.

I agree a thread should not turn into some personnal attack combat stage. I mean you know when it has gotten out of hand when you got all these replies and 90% of the post is name calling. But if I slip and call someone a **** please don\'t ban me. Because it\'s human nature.

I mean ppl know when they have gone way too far. Why not just chane the name of the site to psXXX2central and there would be no problems.
