Time to read the few bad replies, but not the many good ones? |
Speed reading is an important skill to have. If you can't skim paragraphs quickly and pull the important topics out with ease then you're going to have a tough time in college.
If you can't/won't read all of the replies, then I suggest you don't make fairly large generalizations that it's all flames - that will tend to instead garner more flames. Anyways, I'm pretty sure the discussion moved away from the mod a long time ago, and is actually the result of built-up tension about HL2 mods in general. Or at least that's how it is for me. Of course, I suppose Cassius and Vash would disagree, but that's okay. 
It has always been my opinion that people don't change when you treat them nicely. Trust me. With all of the things I have done and overdone with this in mind, few have failed. If it's a base policy, it will never touch the idiocy of shutting up whenever someone could disagree with you. And you call yourselves intellectuals.
[EDIT] Jesus, you even made Vash apologize, and you ignored him, just as this post will be ignored. God bless the noobs. [/EDIT]
Cool! We lost two (and probably three in Skeletor) good and dedicated posters defending some guy who wasn't going to stay in the forums and join the community in the first place and has a really f**king stupid premise for a mod. There's a time and a place for defending new people from undue harshness, but this wasn't the right time or place to do it.
Well, this topic went tits up.

Meh, couldn't be bothered following it really, just seemed like a handful were just giving an instant "omg wtf rtk lamer go away f4g" reaction. Even now I can't be arsed to read this sorry thread, but it would be sad if any trolling people have left. :/
