I'll admit I got into a few dog fights with the likes of MAD but after some PM to better understand where the other was coming from, it ended up we see things pretty much the same. We just described it differently. All of that didn't need hashed out on the board were others could jump in and keep it going. I have similarly made friend with lots of other members here.
We need to all realize the limitations of this kind of forum. It doesn't lend well to sarcasm unless you really now who your goofing with. It's just text here and there is a lot of lag time between replies sometimes. It's easy to misunderstand and be misunderstood. We all have to share this forum. That means not stating every game thread so that if another member wants to, they can. It mean, not posting ever simple question that pops in your head if its something you can easily look up. And I personally would add, it mean naming the thread something we will all know what your talking about.
And once we get it all worked out, there will be new comers that don't know all the guidelines/rules. They will come in like a Bull in a china closet and we will have to deal with it as a group.
New comers today will become old timers in a few years. Trust me, if I just described you, you will see things differently in a few years.
