The "No-Flame-War" Pledge

[MoxieFu]

I like the idea of pledging a no-flame war in keeping with the launch of a new edition. In fact why don't we give this initiative a name; a name we can all rally behind with a spirit of unity and harmony; a name like:


A New Hope


What? What are you all looking at?

 

[Holy Bovine]

I will burn this place to ground. TO. THE. GROUND.



*ahem* I mean - yeah sure pledge, whatever.

 

[Rydac]

I, Rydac, pledge to not make ENWorld's forums (or any other forums for that matter) a hellscape of flame wars. I will respect my fellow posters and will not dismiss their opinions out of hand because they're on "Team 4E" or "Team Pathfinder" or "Team 5E" or any other "side" they may have chosen. It is their choice, just like it is my choice to prefer a different game. I will not call someone a disrespectful name nor question their intelligence because they made a different choice than myself. There is no reason to fight. Sure I may disagree with someone's choice, but if that is the manner in which they choose to have fun, I can wish them well in that. We're all in this for fun and fighting helps no one.

I will love and tolerate the crap out of this forum.

 

[Dice4Hire]

I promise to only flame those who deserve it.


But since all of them are already on my ignore list it should not be a problem

 

[delericho]

I'll do my absolute best to avoid flaming and to avoid Edition Wars. But, being human it's hard to promise that 100%.

 

[Windjammer]

I, Windjammer, will (continue to) critique people not for their preferences but at most for how they rationalize them.

I will do my best to articulate my posts in a way that communicates this difference as clearly as humanly possible.

I will certainly not become the next internet messiah to fight a losing battle with people too obstinate, impatient, belligerent, or intellectually dishonest to discern that difference when it is being made clear.

Life is short, time is precious, it's only another edition of D&D - a frightfully short lived affair these days.

If I had known a new pledge was going to be released so soon, I might not have invested in this one.
