Share Your Opinion! -- Flame Wars, Gone For Good?

[TheProwler]

Pretty sure he was summing them...adding all of them together....taking a total amount....putting them all together....accumulating everybody's IQ together to achieve a combined score....


A fine example of how one person's inability to interpret other individual's words can cause confusion.

That little exchange belonged in Off Topics.

You don't like Flame Wars, don't go there, leave it for the people who appreciate it as it is.

[TheProwler]

Somebody just woke up.

[GENERAL STONEHAM]

You don't like Flame Wars, don't go there, leave it for the people who appreciate it as it is.

To those who have resisted the call to bring back FLAME WARS, go grow thicker skin. Nobody is forcing to have those who hate FLAME WARS, to participate in it.

You just can't take a "RIGHT" to express yourself and then take it away. Then turn around and say too bad!

FLAME WARS served an outlet to many, who let off steam.

BRING BACK FLAME WARS!

BRING BACK FLAME WARS!

It would seem that the site itself has grown a "thicker skin," and the Flamer Wars forum is now ostracized to the outside of that thick skin, as it very well should be. Those who are unfortunate enough to be inclined to such a negative mentality are the ones who are forced, in this case, to develop some stones, grow up, and act as if they were civilized human beings for a change. Acting as if you were is the first step in the long, hard climb to actually becoming one, so in addition, congratulations are warranted here for a small group of loud individuals who are now embarking on a journey of self-discovery.

You used the word outlet. I accept that, but it was much more than mere "steam;" it was a virulent brand of immature negativity that was harmful to its victims as well as being harmful to its perpetrators, and overall, definitely very harmful to this site.

It was all 100% unnecessary from the beginning, and was also a huge waste of space.

It's my personal hope that the loud minority will soon discover how pleasing it is to exist above the mental platform of the animals. The majority of CC members are already on the human platform, and we are in it not for the sake of fighting, but for the sake of winning. Now that we have definitely won, the minority is welcomed and encouraged to cultivate some civility and mental equilibrium, and then join us -- in that order.

Oh, yes -- your hand is indeed forced.

Now the question becomes: Are you capable of dealing with it in a mature manner?

Here's the problem. People like yourself who call others childish and ranting about what is right or wrong by calling those who express different views from yourself as animals.

Name calling others as children and animals, oh how civilize is that?

Mature manner, is that what you profess, really now?

Being a "flunky" or "tool" of the Thought Police for the administrators of C.C., gives you a license to stalk, harrass and otherwise call people names.

Well done!

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, and childish is just childish.

[KLOBBER]

Blah blah blah yadda yadda yadda wah wah wah!

Well, from individuals such as yourself, known to be in the loud minority, temper tantrums are expected. I also think that your predictable (and boring) tantrums should be tolerated -- for a time.

Eventually, you will realize that your gratuitous anger, and its immature expression, are unhealthy for you, and at that time, you will stop banging your head against the very solid wall against which you rail, heal your self-inflicted wounds, and yes, step up to the fully human platform.

The fact that you do not yet realize the difference between simple diagnosis of clearly sub-human mentality, and personal insult, speaks volumes about the nature of your disorder. Actually, I have nothing personal against you flamers -- I merely perceive a problem with your behavior that you are incapable of perceiving.

In fact, I wish you all the best.... and yes, I am indeed on CC's side in this issue. I am proud to be on-board with this decision, as I feel that it is one of the most intelligent decisions that I've ever seen them make. Eventually, you will also develop the maturity required to sincerely applaud this decision, as the majority of us already do, as well as the intelligence necessary to just *** let it go *** -- mark my words.

[KLOBBER]

There you go -- you're calming down already.

[GENERAL STONEHAM]

There you go -- you're calming down already.

Tee-hee, poor Klobber...what's the matter did you check with management to see if your reply was ok?

A tool, brown noser or just a good foot soldier? Hmmmm

[TheProwler]

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, and childish is just childish.

But why does your cigar smell like poo?

Prowler, that's NOT his cigar, it's his nose that stinks.

[mpjh]

Hmmm, you guys are having a tough time with this, well growing up is sometimes difficult.

[mpjh]

What's to let go? It is just too much fun watching you lie on the floor kicking and screaming. I have a 5-year-old niece that doesn't tantrum as good as you.

MOD EDIT: No flaming/trolling on CC

Haha! Maybe all three!!!

I think this mature attitude of yours is great, Klobber. I just wish this great maturity on your part extended to your rank, winning percentage, and your willingness to foe people based solely on their rank and winning percentage.

[KLOBBER]

It's like water off a duck's back.

[oVo]

The overwhelming voice of the majority... 110 votes representing thousands of CCers.

You should probably ignore these comments and try to get more sleep klobber,
you yawn more than anyone here.

[KLOBBER]

I wasn't referring to any vote. I was referring to the fact that the vast majority of CC members are decent, upstanding, respectful, mature adult human beings.

[Woodruff]

It's like water off a duck's back.

Yes, the truth often is, to weasels.

[Snorri1234]

I must admit I find it hilarious that I can still report everyone for "flaming outside of flamewars".

[Mr Changsha]

...who like reading "you f**cking toss wank go burn your dogs and then dog your cats" with their morning coffee.

[KLOBBER]

Fortunately, the "wank" minority will have to read that kind of crap somewhere else from now on.

[Mr Changsha]

Fortunately, the "wank" minority will have to read that kind of crap somewhere else from now on.

Well I'm sure that the great majority wank in a most regular fashion. I've got my own poll of 25 users out of the 23,000 this month which proves that the majority enjoyed flamewars and saw wanking as a majority pursuit for all the family.
