what's this forum coming to Part II

Very good guys! [img]smile.gif[/img]

I heard about Timber's suspension, so I had to come see why myself, and heh, wow. Again, I am reminded why I do not come to this part of IW [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I don't see the point in all the flame baiting though, but don't get me wrong, if it came down to it, I myself would be aiming the crosshairs too. It starts out as people expressing their opinions until it comes to the point of "No, you're wrong, I'm right" sort of thing, then it gets hectic. As for what Timber said, stressed as it is, the guy is just patriotic even if he is a bit too much. But trust me on one thing, just stay calm when someone throws a few words your way, you'll look back and laugh at what was said, I know I have

Take care you worked up people you.

G'day Gangrell. I think everyone here means well, but unfortunately we have a bunch of people who can be more stubborn than wise at times. Everyone's got their particular opinion/slant on things, and we all stand up for what we believe in, but to be still arguing each other's point of view when neither is willing to give ground and have the debate going around in circles as peoples' tempers get ever shorter is just silly and a waste of everyone's time in my book. Once this line of discussion is entered into it'll only ever be a matter of time before someone snaps and loses their rag. At the end of the day these are just opinions on a forum we're exchanging, it's not like there are critical outputs/decisions that will arise from who wins/loses/whatever. We're not Secretaries of State or Foreign Ministers making policy, so let's not take ourselves too seriously when we're debating each other here.

Don't get me wrong, I find debate and conflict to be healthy and enlightening and there have been some great debates on this forum - as long as they don't get to the point where people start to get REALLY pissed off, because then it becomes worthless.

In my view people should put in their two bob which they believe in, stick up for their opinion but also have the wisdom to leave it when it becomes clear that it's going nowhere. But lately we haven't had that here. It's almost like people try and push it till they're told to stop, or threatened to stop, or are booted. Then it's always someone else's fault. I would just love for people to chill out a bit and realise that this forum is not the be-all and end-all of everything.

Anyway, I've said more than enough on this, and will leave it now. My nice soft bed awaits - unfortunately I'll probably only get 4 hours on it before my alarm clock goes - don't you hate Mondays, eh. [img]graemlins/awcrap.gif[/img]

your alarm clock is canadian?

[Memnoch]

No, it was 4 am when I hit the sack and my alarm close went off 4 hours later.

[Oblivion437]

I don't sleep much myself. Go to bed at 4AM, wake up at six, skip a night, do two hours again, nap intermittently in the day, run on wiry caffeine. On that setup I can run fully as efficiently as anyone else my age on 1/6 as much sleep.

Too much philosophy for a forum, even if it is full of flame baiters, but please let me congratulate the mods on this forum for the most locked threads in IW
