Returning civility to these forums

[[m'kay]]

I've seen way too much profanity on these forums recently, therefore I respect and thank Matt for speaking up. Narg, I thought you had the intelligence to stop, and know when you went too far. But you went too far and lost alot of respect from me in the process. Please, just pipe down and stop disrespecting so many people.

Swine, I really don't see where I was disrespectful there. I gave Matt some crap about using the wrong word for forum. Note that I didn't say he was wrong in any way - hell, that's a part of the reason I did stop trolling, because too many people were taking me as the "standard", so to speak. I don't know, it used to be that people recognized that I was "that one guy who swears a ton", but in the past few months pretty much everyone's started swearing like me.

...Oh wow, maybe it was some kind of ridiculous profanity arms race, where I thought I had to up the ante because everyone started swearing like me, and now we're reaching the point where it's nearing levels where MAD becomes a worry. SWGO Cold War 2012 represent.

PM'd Narg to avoid clogging up announcement.

I like his "title" :D

I'd like to formally apologize about the handful of times I've sworn in the past month or so. I usually like to conduct myself with an air of decency, and only swear in private. I shouldn't have become so lax. I let myself get carried away by the fact this forum is a lot less strict than the one I usually frequent, and that isn't an excuse, just a reason. It will not happen again, I promise. I'm not one to break my promises.

Sadly, I think that's pretty spot on for what happened. Thanks for endeavoring to find subtler ways to troll now.

If you ask me and don't everyone jump on me for this, but alot of it started when we were having all the flame wars with Acesonnel, Lego, and EAW. They were such bad trolls that everyone started dumping on them, me included. I'm not saying they did deserve what they got, they did, but is set a lower bar that everyone just continued following. This kind of goes along with what Narg was saying but gives a time frame of when things crested and started going down hill from there.

Well...I agree with the thread message in that there's been a lot of 'attacking others' just for the sake of attacking and stirring things up. Perhaps a more 'civilized discussion' could prevail (?). (Hint: It's the 'Younglings' folks).

Thank you Matt. You know something went wrong with the integrity of this community when I've become one of the most mature and civil posters.

And you just opened the door to have yourself flamed with a comment like that but since I am more mature and civil than that. I won't.

Samonuh, in the past six months you've posted absolutely nothing of substance aside from saying that you're not as completely reprehensible as you used to be. Your statement has no merit because you provide next to nothing to the community negatively or positively. But hey, points for actively trying to elicit a response of "haha that WACKY samonuh" and failing tremendously, I guess.
