[QUOTE="Odhanan, post: 2926452, member: 12324"] These are good advice. Thank you! :D LOL yes, well. Like Turjan said: just take it or leave it. :p These are good explanatory examples of the kind of behaviour I'm talking about. Further, I'm referring to the whole fight of guys who like this versus that, and "if you like this, you ought to loathe that". Example? "[i]You like C&C, you ought to hate D&D's rules. You like Gary's style of modules and AD&D? You ought to hate Third Edition. You're a fan of the character immersion/drama, dungeon crawling ought to suck. You just can't like both nor live and let live.[/i]" You [b]have[/b] to choose a side. Or the whole method of flaming a game and then pretending that's just a personal opinion. "[i]You know, I think [this game] is really made for retarded/immature/pretentious people. I'm much more happy with [that game] which doesn't take people for morons, you know. But hey, that's just my opinion you know, I'm not trying to force my tastes on you.[/i]" ... Excuse me?! LOL well, I may be on an idealistic rant here, but I know my limits! :lol: Seriously though, I read you say that this or that product "sucked", but I've never read you writing this down without at least explaining yourself and most importantly keeping the tone polite, respectful, even friendly towards other people who don't have the same opinions. I think that's the whole problem I have with the behaviour. That's the idea that if somebody has a different opinion, then it's okay to flame, be disrespectful and make loads of insinuations.
