Now, if arguing with close people can be so dangerous, the RPC is a completely different situation. Sure, I know you guys. But only through your posts. I don't know you in depth or who you really are. But I look up to and admire a lot of people on the RPC. I respect you. And I want it to stay that way. Arguments tend to leave bad impressions.Â
The entire reason I stay on those happy go lucky threads is because the debate ones always either get warnings from the mods or get closed. And they may be cheesy and mushy, and people may think they're stupid and pointless, but no one's getting angry on that thread. Everything is nice. And tell me: have any one of them even gotten a single warning?
Recently, there's been so much aggression and passive aggression on the RPC, it's sad. What I dislike the most is how someone has to pinpoint someone else and then it turns into a one on one mess. Why promote it further? Just ignore it or avoid it. Move on. It's really not that difficult.Â
We're harming the community, Â we're scaring new people away, we're not doing ourselves any good.Â
I want to point out that mods, you've been doing an awesome job. I can sort of understand that it's really tough being a moderator. You guys keep it up. Without you, we'd all be nothing.
And Franz, thank you for pointing this out. It's admirable that you took the step and decided to say it out front. Â
I know all of this is negligible compared to real life. But let's admit it. This does take its toll. Even if it's minimal.Â
Okay, lastly, I'll just stay on the pointless compliment thread. There's nothing wrong with complimenting people. The reason I stay on light hearted threads and try to make more of them is because we already have too many threads with a bang here, a boom there, and explosive fireworks everywhere.Â
Guys, take it easy. Be happy and make happy. That's all.
