[QUOTE="Morrus, post: 4042533, member: 1"] See, that summarizes what we value in a post. Anyone is welcome to state their likes and dislikes; as long as they accept that others have that same right. Anyone who accuses us of "coming down" on anti-4E posts is being disingenuous. What you mean is "They came down on ME (or someone who agrees with me), and one of my characteristics is that I don't like 4E, therefore I conclude that they come down on anti-4E posts." But, and I have to be honest here, I can think of only two possibilities here: (a) people aren't self-aware enough to realise that it's their [I]tone[/I] that's in question, in which case a 3-day ban may make the point; if it doesn't, we aren't interested in "changing" them, we'll just ask them to leave; or (b) people [I]are [/I]aware it's their tone, and not their opinion which causes the moderator action, and do it anyway - in which case we're happy to say goodbye. The obligatory threads on ther boards which condemn us for all manner of crimes don't really bother us; we find 'em amusing. In short: one's opinion is valid; a long as one accepts that others are, too, even if they[I] dare[/I] to have the[I] temerity[/I] to hold a different opinion to your own. [/QUOTE]
