Ok, I haven't seen this before (I'm sure none of the mods have, most of us not being online), but I'm sure if any of us had, this would've been over for a while now.
My sincere apologies to the forum users, I'll close this now. If you wish to continue discussing this subject, feel free to create a new thread with the useful information that came out of this one.
Now let me say a couple things, I'm not supposed to call out people in public but this 4-page mess begs for an exception, so I'll take my chances and give a couple suggestions on how to improve and see if it helps your (plural) attitude in the future.
I guess I was the naive one to think that the "community" over here was more mature than the official forums.
I guess you have, after all, proven me wrong about something.
A suggestion: don't judge a whole community from your idea of what one person is. You could be wrong about that person, and I can say you're definitely wrong about most of our forum users, so saying things like that doesn't help you prove your point. Flaming other people with sarcastic comments when they're just joining the discussion, just because they might be saying you're wrong, doesn't help either.
And Antirepublican, you drew first blood in this mess, you're the one who was sarcastic first, and who thinks using "fucking sucks" and saying "everyone knows this, except you" is the way to convince someone of your arguments, when it clearly just creates a very unpleasant atmosphere, and generally incites flaming (which is precisely what happened here).
For the record, in the future, if anyone feels a given user's posts or behavior or a thread is violating forum rules, by creating an unhealthy environment for discussion (which is what a forum is supposed to be), just report it (we'll deal with it) and let it go/back off, specially when you notice things are going downhill. Flame wars are one of the most annoying things for other users to experience when visiting.
