Koth and Aradia, welcome to Ironworks from CRC and MH. [img]smile.gif[/img] Your comments are more than welcome here, I've heard good things about Aradia and I know Koth. You guys might be missing my point, maybe I wasn't clear enough in my earlier posts.
I don't have a problem with sarcasm by itself, perhaps that was not clear in my title. What I don't want are people acting like smartasses and taking potshots at other people by using sarcasm in a way that demeans them and belittles their opinion. It was SC's response to someone in this manner that precipitated this entire issue. We do not normally have a serious discussion forum here for that very reason - sarcasm gets misconstrued, feelings get hurt, anger and hostility grows, and so on. This is what we are trying to avoid.
This is NOT a debating forum where there's a winner or loser, this is a gamingforum with an area temporarily dedicated to the War on Terror where people can share their views. Our standards may be more stringent than with other forums you have been accustomed to, but that's because we want every single one of our members to feel that they can participate. That doesn't make us better - it's just the way we've decided to manage things. I hope this makes things clearer for you.
Anyone can disagree with the rules, by the way - just as long as they're adhered to. Respect for others. That's all we're asking for. [img]smile.gif[/img]
