[META]Alright! Take it outside!

Just to be clear, TDA is NOT a flaming board. Such personal attacks are allowed, so long as it doesn't become a vendetta. Just because it annoys our masters to have two users pecking at each other like an old married couple in every freakin thread. It is a place where you can discuss politics and religion, often quite heatedly. There's also a lot of discussion about gaming, movies, family, and anything else.

Not to mention that after our last big change, many of the users adopted new user names. I wouldn't be so quick to assume that its two entirely seperate communities. Many of us drift over here now and again. I haven't been here much, because well I've gotten into games other than D&D/d20. Not much point in reading EN if you aren't into D&D.

I still play though, so I'll read a thread now and then.

It does get frustrating not being able to 'fire back', but that's what the place is like. There are plenty of places to flame on the net, ENWorld doesn't need to go down that road.

Actually, I've told Torm about nutkinnothingdamnationarmyland, but at the time, it was Nutkinland, and has changed identities about two dozen times to throw off the ATF agents and the revenu'ers...

But for here, flamewars are settled in one of the best ways I've ever seen on a messageboard: they parties can take it to e-mail ("outside"), or just agree to disagree. That way, it doesn't become a public spectacle. Honestly, do you think people on talk shows like Springer and Povich actually resolve anything by airing their dirties in public? It just stirs the fires worse than a schoolyard brawl in the middle of a circle shouting, "fight! fight!"

Anyway, Torm, come on over to Damation Army. If they welcome you, they like you, and such invitations should not be trifled with lightly.

I'm not "so quick" in making that assumption. I made that claim based on when I used to peregrinate over there when it was still nutkinland, for goodness sakes. I don't have much interest in following it to its latest location, to be perfectly honest.

It does suck! But at least we can always start a thread on DA to vent. I'm going to start one now about DS.

One of the fun things about tDA is that people get called out for what they are. If, for the sake of example, you're a complete moron, the nice people here aren't allowed to inform you of the fact, and you might live your life in ignorance and denial. Spend a few days at tDA and all your happy little illusions can be shattered!

Of course, a few people of questionable mental faculties will call you a complete moron in any case.
And that's when they aren't trying very much.

What morons!

I know you're joking but let's be careful with our choice of language lest someone doesn't get the joke and says something inappropriate.

 

[MerakSpielman]

Aw, you're no fun anymore.
