So What Is It Now? What Should It Be?

He's always trying to fuck with people's heads.

[Pyraxis]

Yeah, that's what makes it fun.

Yeah. I caught that about ten seconds after meeting him.

Cal's posts?

[Pyraxis]

I like bantering with him. He's harmless, anymore. He won't come back and cause any real trouble, he's just sitting on the sidelines egging on other people.

[odeon]

Well, enjoy, then.

A little late to the party, but back to the thread's original topic: Something I'd like to see less of is personal attacks. I don't mean the silly jabs everyone does at each other's expense, but the mean vindictive ones that pop up from time to time. TCO's latest behaviour toward Rage being a lovely example...

I seriously doubt they'll ever go away, mostly given the nature of this forum... But I can wish

I think that we can't control that without moderating the board, but I'm hoping that people will eventually respect one another more if they are allowed to say mostly anything. Not because they must but because they can.

A good example, IMO, is that Lit and I are on better terms than we used to, in spite of all the things that have happened in the past. We've cleared the air and while he doesn't approve of my views any more than before (and vice versa) we haven't had the need to jump on each other's throats lately.

I think this happened because we can do it, not because we must.

I just wish everyone was as mature as you and Lit.

This is what's so fucking retarded about the whole thing. I think a lot of people on AS sites have had massive meltdowns or arguments with someone, or got mad and made a fool of themselves, but most of us learn from it, grow the fuck up and move on. This hasn't happened here - it's a repeat of what we had on zomg (and maybe here too, I wasn't here) last year between TCO and kosmo. People can be forgiven for acting like an ass, but they should at least man up and admit it instead of repeating it again and again.

Especially if they aren't even on the spectrum to begin with.

Yeah we have autism, what's his excuse?  :lol:

[GalileoAce]

I'm also referring to peaguy and his attacks on me which started out childish silliness but quickly became very mean spirited (in my opinion).

[RageBeoulve]

He's an asshole.

What's the diagnostic criteria for that?
