[DejaVu]

That off topic post is different than the rest. There is no comparison to be had between the items posted in general and that one. There were still a lot of bashing comments that were just modded out of it.

You told them to keep their negative posts to themselves, can you blame others for not posting?

It is not always about the argument, most of the time if you read them they are kind of debates. OK some get a little out of hand and more like a mob action or personal attacks, but if you can't debate in fun then what good is it?

Sarcastic, gee that has ALWAYS been a part of posting in forums. It is way it is in most forums.

The forums have ALWAYS been drama. Gang drama, other player drama that is what they are, why is now any different? Drama doesn't make you weak, it makes you a target and the forums have always looked for a target. Most posters have always been sharks scenting blood in the water.

You complain that no one is following the rules, well when the mods do their best to keep everyone to the rules, many start the complaint that their right to free speech is being hampered. Many make it hard for the Mods to keep up and at what point do you mod everything and not manage to piss off the majority of posters? Or make it no fun to debate in the forums at all.

So, it falls under the category, if you don't like what's being said, then just ignore it as the rest of us do. If you feel the need to express your right to free speech, then expect that someone is NOT going to agree with you and you have brought the debate and comments to yourself all on your own.
