Bring on the rules. I joined here because of the higher level of decorum. Stuff like Game of Thrones spoilers made me abandon GBS for years.

And subjects can have a little nuance to them so that we may be speaking to all of the complaining over the months that has taken place in here and TV IV or spoiler culture in general. This is how topics evolve during the course of discussion and this is typically referred to as a conversation.

Maybe you'll get your emotion chip someday spergmander data, until then continue to flip out about how topics can't be discussed because they haven't met your personal requisite of an acceptable amount of words dedicated to them.

We're all going to experience changes in our life but only the best of us will qualify for front row seats.

I think a lot of people have forgotten or are conveniently ignoring that a spoiler was in the name of a forum. You would have had to ignore the forums entirely to miss that one, because it was visible on the forums index. That goes a step further than a GBS thread that had a new title every week or being upset that a Game of Thrones thread had *gasp* untagged spoilers.

also mordin responded to a video that was presented as a Ninja being beaten by a MMA fighter, titled "MMA VS NINJA" and argued against the very concept extensively with multiple people about what ninjas even are, which caused the slap fight you are talking about. This somehow proves your point that the problem with SA is hostility and not at all you complaining just to be complaining about something you don't even understand in the first place.

Talk about reading comprehension.

Yes, a bunch of goons misinterpreting his words into 'ninjas are good' and making GBS threads on him is a very good example of the lovely hostility that is omnipresent in the current goon culture. We're just going to have to agree to disagree about reading comprehension, apparently.

This is true. On the rare occasion I mention posting on forums I get a confused look and I have to say something like "it's like having a Facebook conversation with a bunch of people but stuff is divided up into general and then specific topics and sometimes there's people who enforce rules."

Honestly, 20 something year olds :rolleyes:

But his correctly interpreted arguments were pretty dumb too though, and dumb bullshit arguing about stupid topics is well within the remit of GBS.

Generally, I think goons should be free to argue and disagree, even be dicks to each other within reason, just like people do with their IRL friends. The problem is when it's both reflexive and low effort. Like what if someone served up a meatball like "just got a job as a retard masturbator" and the response was a generic "kill urself."

But Mordin didn't seem to meltdown about it which is what the other goons were trying to goad him into, I suspect. I can see how that would turn someone away if they weren't familiar with how poo poo goes down here. Goons love a good meltdown and if there's no one else to target then we start eating our own. Happens alot.

Anyway. It's really hard to keep people from being sucks to each other, whether it's ironic or not. I'm not sure where I was going with this post.

I'm sure if I make a post with proper argumentations, citations and eloquent language it will be warmly received in that clown-car.

Seriously though, it doesn't really matter at this point. It is just an example of behavior that might have alienated posters in the past and make them declare to themselves "no sir, I did not like that". I'm not sure if it really was worth this derail and I should probably just hop on the non-serious post train.
