[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 6076118, member: 177"] [color=red] [B]Ladies and gentlemen, Some of you are very clearly not fans of one system or another. We don't have a problem with that. We do have a problem when, if you don't like a system, you take every opportunity to beat the crap out of it, and tell others how utterly horrible and flawed it is. The line between constructive criticism and edition-bashing is not a particularly hard one to miss, and some of you are fairly consistently over it. That, for any particular post, you don't egregiously break EN World Rules doesn't mean you aren't engaged in badgering in the long haul, making forums unpleasant for others. We have, in the past, had to ban people for such behavior. We may have to again. If you find yourself asking, "Is that a threat?" then for you maybe it is, and you may need to reconsider how or why you engage in discussions. Here's a simple hint - don't spend nearly so much time trashing on stuff you don't like. It is a huge world out there, and it is full of great stuff. Stop spending your leisure time in negativity, and go find or start a thread about things you actively like. Me, I'm not really a fan of Brussels sprouts. You don't see me spending hours and hours trying to convince others of how horrible a vegetable they are. I may mention it occasionally, in passing, but I generally leave those who do like them alone. That's a pretty awesome model for posting - give folks who do like a thing some room, already! Thanks for reading. We now return you to your previously scheduled thread, which from this point on should have negligible amounts of edition warring.[/B][/color] [/QUOTE]
