If I noticed one thing from this particular community is that you can better keep your opinion to yourself. If not, they will shun you for it as it doesn't agree with their opinions. in any case, too much honesty can be deadly, choose your words wisely as they are severely powerfull tools.
A very simple example, if I'd be honest about some person on this board, and say I, in my opinion, should just stop posting nonsense, it would cause the most basic effect of it: Defense. That defense will morph into offense and bounce off the first offender, me, and I got back into the defence again. This goes on and on, as too much honesty destroys things with the greatest ease. Sometimes it's just better to shut up, especially in a volatile community such as this one. If not, calculate the effect of what you say before you say it.
Too much honesty between people corrupts any bonds of friendship and trust, adding hostility and agressiveness. That kind of behavior in the community erodes links between players, and thus diminishes our ability to play with each other.

Quote:Well, to be honest, I think some people are just two-faces snakes in the grass!This kind of honesty can offend people, not saying it will, but there is a very high chance, especially from someone who already doesn't like you.
