>> From a quick scan I would say you and LazyCat are the worst offenders in that thread. I've actually had multiple ban requests for LC already. <<
I too noticed people got upset about me just expressing my opinion, which is a mystery to me since I do not see how can that possibly offend anyone. If you had requests to ban me, you should have come there and tell me what is it I am doing wrong, but now the thread got closed, for some reason, people are still complaining about me and I have no slightest clue what in the world did I do to anyone.
It seems to me old time members get upset just by new members disagreeing with them, but if you would tell me what were the complaints about perhaps I'd realize my mistakes and change for better, eh?
Same with NLS, I disagree with him like most other people, but his opinion does not offend me, why would it, it's he who is wrong not me (joke), and I enjoyed exchanging opinions with him, that's what actually made him less boring to talk to. There is no real point in discussion if everyone agrees, every discussion should be argument, which is not a bad thing as there is simply no other way to find a common truth but by challenging each others opinion until the logic of one side fails and so the truth is exposed. You can hardly ever challenge your own believes, so in order to learn we should embrace the differences and consider everyone's opinion.
In any case banning seem unnecessarily extreme, just deleting inappropriate posts and providing explanation should be sufficient to teach the offenders to change their ways, since no one would go on writing something just to be deleted again.
