I'm annoyed

[Odhanan]

I agree with you guys.

You know what annoys me? That when someone who is a full-time employee from Wizards posts, or someone who has worked for them in the past, it's the mission of someone, and the specific individuals vary every time, to tear them down verbally. It's not enough to say, "I disagree," or "I'm not sure where you get that from" - it's accusations of lying, arrogance, stupidity, or even malicious conduct.

Man, you haven't seen the French-speaking forums where I related Charles' quote. I've had 95% of posts that were flaming and outright denunciating this as a corporate self-endorsment/plain lie.

*SIGH*

I'm annoyed by the way that the Human Monks can take Improved Natural Attack? thread flamed out and had to be locked. I was kinda rooting for it to get to 1000 posts.

Actually, I'm annoyed with the people who, despite being warned, continued to engage in inflammatory behavior. I wish there were more ways of sanctioning antisocial behavior than banning someone from the forum. If only you could ban people from certain threads, or certain forums. Or limit the number of times they could post per day. (If you can only post 1/day it is hard to get involved in a real flame war!).

But I would be surprised if the boards had that degree of functionality.

[edit]Props to Pielorinho for his intervention in the Can the Faq be used to issue errata? thread. It was rapidly going the way of the INA thread, but I think he saved it. [/edit]

When reading through Henry's post I was almost afraid that this thread ended up closed before I found it, as lucky as MerricB seems to be with that...

All the good threads get closed before I get there lately... not that I'd have posted in the threads in the first place of course; just that the grass is always greener and all that.

Edit:

Unfortunately, this is the wave of foolishness will rise time, and time again. And it can't be curtailed, unless you are willing to have a minute by minute moderation on the threads 24/7, 60mins/60secs in toll. It is just not possible. Deflecting the roughness, has become a necessary job, due to the means of free speech, which to some, have been taken for granted, literally.

It is truly, a privilege gift, that a lot of people has forgotten. Some people have better tolerance than others, and some don't...that the cheese of the problem, and that is not going away anytime soon.

To Truth Seeker:

Remember, many people use the Freedom of Speech as a substitute for Freedom of Thought, which they seldom make use of. Not much we can do about that except teach them to think before they "speak". Teach them over and over again.

And as a corollary to what I wrote above the quote, MerricB, how many of the "trouble" members in your threads do you suppose will actually read this? Hopefully at least ONE will.

And also, speaking of "1,000 posts"... one more... one more...
