CS Game Scale - Manual Style

[Kool Kat]

Someone told me a few years ago, - '' When you listen to someone's else point of view, think to yourself, 'maybe he's right and I'm wrong?'' If some of us think about that before we post, maybe we wouldn't get the eruptions that occur. That includes me, I bow to others' superior knowledge of the game but when I make a post stating a view, I don't expect to be told it's gamey, I wouldn't play against them, etc., I'm merely trying to put a point of view relevant to the post and don't expect to get categorised as such, just over a point of view? This goes back to an earlier post I made. It isn't a tactic I use, just a 'what if?' statement and it becomes a matter of pesonal attack in my eyes and, going by some other posts and e-mails I've recieved, is seen the same, so when will guys admit they are out of order?

Peter:

Your "from the heart" response to my earlier post has me thinking along different lines then originally thought. :chin: Thank you!

I appreciate your passion for the game! :)

I've not played you, but I can read in your posts your enjoyment and excitement for both CS and desire to be an active member of the Blitz Community here at the forums.

Fantastic! I wish more players had your enthusiasm!

I would also venture that players' enthusiasm will sometimes "spill" into their posts and a vigorous defense of ideas and opinions becomes a vigorous attack against another? :chin:

Maybe it is time to forget about being right or wrong? Or who has collected the most evidence to support their opinion? Or who stated what months or years ago? Or computing gas mileage of units? Or any of that stuff?

Maybe it is time to value (or appreciate may be a better word) every players' opinions, comments, and ideas that get posted to these forums. No, that does not mean that everyone must agree with everything that is posted here. Never happen! :smoke: But, I believe that Peter makes a good point - think about your post BEFORE hitting the "Post Reply" button that "maybe he is right and I'm wrong." And I would go one important step further. Please don't launch attacks against individuals and keep the discussion contained to the ideas and opinions only. Forum Rule 101. Finally, and this is very difficult! Please try NOT to take discussion points personally. Let it go and move on. EVERYONE needs to let it go and move on. Sometimes the heart reacts before the brain engages?

Please note that I am no saint and have done my share of bloodletting on these forums. I'm not proud of that behavior and I always strive to do better. I believe it is instances; like in this thread, that highlight for me the need for all CS players to work hard to respect and value all opinions... and work even harder to discuss different opinions and ideas in a non-confronting and respectful manner.

Maybe sometimes it is about something bigger then me... like our player community here at the Blitz? :chin:

Step off my :soap:

Thanks Peter for making the above more clear to me!
