Warning: I'm nuking Edition Wars threads

[EricNoah]

Psst, Darius, the whole point is to NOT continue the discussion. I appreciate the sentiment, but you clearly missed the part about not calling out individual users. I'm snipping a smidge off of your apology...

yeah! we all know 7th edition smurf vs. fragglerock is the REAL system anyway

WHAT?! Dude, dozers totally get the shaft in 7th edition. Anyone who plays anything later than 5th edition SvsF is a mouth-breathing chucklehead.

There was an odd mood of miscommunication on the boards the last day or so. It was as if people were having separate conversations, even when they were directly addressing each other. Important points were either missed or misconstrued, while tangential points were focused upon and became the fodder for argument. Weird.

Re: Greyhawk thread

Gary I am glad to see you consider your body of work great. I agree it is impressive and you are experienced in what you write. I know of people who are more prolific writers and have been writing for 50+ years. ...
Take care guys,
Darius

Heh

Thanks, Darius, and well I know that. I have a colection of just the mystery books done by Agatha Christie that is near astonishing in size and variety! Of course I am still actively writing, and I'll be adding new titles to my line of credits over the next two yeras for sure. Quite a number slated for 2003 and 2004, in fact.

The question is about expereince in publishing, and that comes from dealing with a variety of publsihers. Even there, of course, there are many less-prolific authors who have a shake on me, of that I am sure. But I do know a pro company from one that isn't

Cheers,
Gary

Damn, missed the fun threads AGAIN! LOL.

Now Eric, if you want to be REALLY useful, delete all the Ranger sucks and the Silence vs. Sonic threads. Talk about going nowhere fast!

Maybe you need a monitoring script to delete any thread created with the following banned words in the subject:

Ranger, sucks, Harm, Heal, shaft, Sonic, Archery, archerers, balanced.

That would cut out about 95% of the flame wars that start up.

Just a freindly suggestion

not exactly realistic though. that's like web filters that ban sites about breast cancer...

 

[dpdx]

Not to mention that Sagiro's contest-winning entry, "Broken", would have been filtered under that system, too. And we can't have that: Seuss-filking makes me all warm and happy inside.

Gee I was wondering why I saw several threads getting closed down. That is why I love this place, If I want to throw insults at people over unimportant topics I can go see my family. Civil conversation with intellegent openminded people is why I came here to start with.

People get touchy over some crazy things, wouldn't just be easier to play the games you like, than to gripe about all the games you don't.

I just read the threads in question, and was pretty appalled - especially by the Greyhawk thread.

Let's get something straight. Personal attacks ARE NOT PERMITTED here. If you want to make personal attacks about someone, go somewhere else.

I don't care what you think of other people here, but you will treat every other member with respect. If you are not willing to do that, you do not have permission to post on these messageboards. It is one of the conditions upon which your permission to post here is dependent. It's as simple as that.
