Alas poor Yorick, I have no quarrel with you. I have not spoiled anyone on this board, nor do I ever intend to. Archaeon was "flamed" before he had a chance to apologise or remove his post. Not everyone stays connected to their ISP logged into the forum 24/7. He probably had to go to work or school and removed the post ASAP. I won't break Ironworks rules intentionally (lawful-good, and all that). What bothers me is that it seems people *enjoy* flaming others. If it makes you feel better, go ahead.


Radek, I think you share my thoughts on this matter more than you realize. Reading these same posts you refer to has prompted me to post this message, putting my name/neck on the block in the process. I come to the forum EXPECTING to find information, or at least hoping. If one isn't looking, why is one reading? You have an excellent point, although my reading of your reply makes me think you have misunderstood mine.



Fair enough Zateel

Radek, when I came to the forum it was as a last resort to get some hints about specific problems I'd encountered, not information about plot developments I would come across naturally. Not everyone shares your mindset. People posting respectfully and with the correct spoiler title doesn't affect your gamer, but when people don't it does affect a lot of peoples games.

Sort of like smoking. A non smoker doesn't affect the air of a smoker when he breathes, but a smoker affects a non smoker if he smokes. That's why we have non smoking areas. Well, this is a non spoil area.

O.K..... what do I do now? Goo goo goo choo?
