[QUOTE="Henry, post: 2731579, member: 158"] Nah - this is tame - you should have seen the threads around March or so of this year. :) I've had to close more than one C&C/3E thread for pure nastiness. If I had temp-banned the offenders, the sheer number would have left visible gaps in the forums. :) By now, though, most posters have learned that C&C is its own game, and fills a certain need, like - well, every other game out there now. Even back then, the leading proponents of C&C though were a lot nicer than some rather vehement proponents I've seen in other places. My personal opinion? There's a lot of slighting of C&C, but then there's also a lot of perceived slighting of C&C that isn't meant to be; however, I've seen proponents in the past so used to defending against the genuine insults that they overreacted to the perceived slights and lost sight of why they were proponents in the first place: Because there's another choice out there, and it suits them. Then both sides get entrenched in lop-sided positions, denying that their game has any bad points, and making statements they wouldn't ordinarily make. It totally covers over the fact that we're all gamers, looking for ways to maximize our good times, and want to help others do the same; hence, regardless of game, we're in the same boat. And then I go to some Political-Party-argumentative message board, realize there's no one calling one another chicken-heads and spouting death threats, and thank the powers that we're so tame. :D [/QUOTE]
