[QUOTE="Cassiel, post: 2107001, member: 29006"] I think that's one of the problems. The veneer of courtesy, with its undercurrent of "I know more than you do," is probably the thing that gets me most about ENWorld. I've been visiting this site since I believe 1999, and have racked up in that time maybe 300 posts under 4 or 5 different accounts (which are routinely deleted during periods of prolonged inactivity, so I always end up having to make new ones when I remember this place exists). For the most part I find that it simply isn't worth my time, or wouldn't be well received (who on this board wants to have a serious discussion about the possibility of significant fantasy literature, for example?) for me, to respond, so I don't. Why make a fuss about it? This is just a messageboard on the internet. Lurk, read what looks interesting to you, if anybody's posts really annoy you add them to your ignore list, and move on. The thing that keeps me coming back to ENWorld is that there are a lot of interesting posters, too. So, to people like Fusangite, Dr.Strangemonkey, barsoomcore and the others whose posts I generally look forward to reading, I say: rock on. The chances of me tempering my normal mode of discourse to suit ENWorld's restrictions are slim, but I still enjoy reading what you guys offer up. [/QUOTE]
