The reality we have is that some people feel unhappy with the game or aspects of it and feel the need to say so. Other people either are content with the game or resent the sometimes aggressive tone of the complaints.
Honestly, I can see both sides of the argument.
But in all the months it has been raging where has the arguing got anyone? I'm not aware of anyone from either camp having a blinding flash of insight at the outstanding argument put up by the other side, seeing the error of his ways and changing his opinion. Instead it just goes round and round, like goldfish in a tank - apparently unaware that they did exactly the same thing 3 days ago, 2 weeks ago, 4 months ago...
The thing I'd like ALL those who are arguing to realise is that THEY are the ones who are doing most to damage this forum and the game at the present time. It has got totally out of hand - so many threads are being hijacked to provide a vehicle for the point-scoring and one-upmanship. What you - ALL of you - are doing is annoying other forum users and turning them off even wanting to come here.
Two points for the mods. I have started using the ignore list, but
1. It doesn't work unless you are logged in. I usually only log in when I want to post, so it's not always effective.
2. It seems a little unfair to expect two or three hundred other forum users to have to change how they use the forum rather than the six or seven people who cause the problem.
