Just a suggestion of course.
Does EVERY conversation which you're involved in have to degenerate into personal insults?

Person A makes a joke. Person B laughs while Person C takes offense.


What's funny to one person may not be funny for someone else.

Person A makes an irrelevant joke in thread started by Person D. Person B laughs while Person C takes offense and person D is pissed off their post has been hijacked. Person E stops reading the thread because it involves wading through stuff they stopped finding amusing when they were 12.

Aha. Ok, exorsize understood now. I see now. Having read through the topic more now there are more posts, I definitely see the aim of it.

On some boards, hijacking one persons thread with inanities is considered bad manners and frowned upon. On this board some people think its fine. Presumably out in the real world they also burst in on other people's conversations with Monty Python skits or impressions of farmyard animals.

Comparing real life vandalism and grafiti to this forum is a tad childish. While I agree with Patricia's arguments onthe grafiti aspect, the postings on this forum tend to run more like a conversation, so you are naturally going to go off on a tangent before you even think about what you have done.

I am very guilty of this (If it is possible to be 'very' guilty of something), and often respond to a post without really thinking of the content.

Hi. Yeh we all are. But some how, I don't think that this is the point. read the thread again, then read some others of Patricia's and then you will understand. It's not blatently obvious.

Once it is released, the forum will be focused almost exclusively in the direction of the game again. Until then, bar a very few and notable exceptions, the postings are healthly and funny!
AMEN... you should join the church of the smilie, with intelligence like that you could make Priest wiythin a year..
