Hey Scud

[Crossroads]

Some people are very good at saying things and others aren't so those who aren't very articulate at speech need to worry that a disagreeable post will be met with minimum 30 day suspension.

A word from a new guy...

First of all, living at this part of world that I consider mine, being ahead of US some 6 to 10 hours depending whether you live in East coast and West coast, and logging into the site during my morning hours, I've seen some the good, bad and downright ugly as well.

Scud made the point in saying that some of the post are never seen by most of the members, and I can adhere to it. Every now and then, and it is not a case whether there is an IMHO in the sentence or not.

That being said do I think people need to think longer and post less sure, do people after some posts in a topic start to push the line sure.
Do some people push buttoms more than others, again sure they do. I just don't want to see peopleof differing opinions get silanced .

Passion to wargames. People who have been here for over ten years. That's what made me to take the step and register to this site.

For some of the threads, the passion is obviously there and yes, at times it feels that I should step up and say guys let it go. But I haven't. I feel it is not my part to say so.

The passion and sometimes the nitpicking that follows has never stopped me from participating in threads. The reason for not participating come in most cases from the fact that I am at awe to deep knowledge and experience of the series and of the game engine, and retain from making stupid questions or observations.

There was a point made that some of us need to grow a thicker skin so to say. There is a point in this as well. It must be downright demotivating to log into the site as a moderator and the first thing you see is a bunch of complaints about a certain thread.

As I say sometimes and lately, more often, to my two kids: do not come complaining to me, sort it out among yourselves, and if you are not able to do that, I will come and then you are propably both in trouble. I guess that's what Scud is saying to us right now. :smoke:

I agree the new rules seem to be written a bit at the heat of the moment, but let it be so. Sometimes a perhaps needs to be used to drive a point?

That's it from me regarding this topic. Virtual round of to everyone and a Happy New Year! Let the passion continue :)
