Happy New Year

[Montana Grizz]

I've read a lot of threads in the last 3+ years (1 week, 10hrs, 22mins) and there has been some occasional smack, but seldom any real name-calling (stupid, ignorant, idiotic, etc.).

I would indeed draw a line at "name calling", but am having some problem with the new rules in terms of what might be preceived as "offensive"?

We might get a concensus of opinion in regard to what is "sarcastic", but terms such as "confrontational" and "aggressive" are "subjective" (judgement based on individual impressions and feelings and opinions rather than external facts).

Saying that someone is "wrong" could be considered "offensive". To say that someone is "ignorant of the facts", is not saying they are an ignorant person, but could be considered "offensive".

I have had no problem in regard to my posts because most of them have been a search for game related information. My responces to the posts of others have been my opinion in regard to the subject matter, but the very fact that I might object could be considered "objectionable".

To say that something "hurts a lot" is subjective. It is based upon the perception of the listener or reader.

I hope that Blitz officials will take each post and responce in serious consideration before forming an opinion as to what they might imagine to be offensive and worthy of sanction.

It is my further hope/expectation/faith/assumption that we will weather this current storm of "offensive" posts and continue as a club/organization for many more years to come.

Lord knows, I very much appreciate and enjoy the site and the gaming experiences. NOTE: Any reference to a "GOD" in this statement includes all "GODS" and in no way relects an opinon or any preference.
