You All Need To Stop Squabbling

[Jeff M. Hopper]

Over the past eight years I've been on CotI, I've conversed with just about every participant in this dust-up and the behavior I'm seeing is beneath the dignity of every single one of you. I like you people, but I don't like the way some of you are acting right now.

It makes me embarrassed to say that I enjoy Traveller if this kind of behavior is what is being associated with fans of the game. We're better than that. Let's start acting like it.

We're better than that.

No we aren't.

I completely agree.

I also agree - with Jeff M. Hopper, but also with tbeard1999: The atmosphere
especially on the Mongoose Traveller forum really has to change, but some -
very few - of the frequent posters there indeed "are like that".

In my view a good first step towards a more normal atmosphere would be to
put an end to this "us and they" nonsense, and to see and react to each po-
ster and each post individually instead of treating it as a part of an epic batt-
le between two forever hostile enemy parties.
And, yes, I think this holds true for the most active "combattants" of both "si-
des".

which is why, aside from recent smart-aleck comments designed to inject a bit of levity, I have stayed largely out of this recent flare-up.

EDIT: this has changed but only in the Administration section

It is just part of the Kübler-Ross model. In time this too will pass.

Well Said, Jeff!

 

[ThunderChilde]

Sweet, insightfull, succint.

I've been too depressed and to angry to participate in the latest conflagration here. S4 said he was gonna layoff and stick to CT, I see how long that lasted.

There really isn't any point in spending much time here reading anyting, it's all vitriol anyhow.

nonsense, there's lots of good stuff on the board. for example, click on the "forbidden science of the second imperium" link below.

 

[ThunderChilde]

it's a slow Fora, I do read it, like I read the Lone Star, IMTU and the Fleet.

But being a MGT GM, it's really not worth checking more than once a week, if that. I don't need the vexation more often than that.

Thoth clicks on it, Thoth is happy. Thoth begins perusing.

Thanks or the suggestion, for if you hadnt suggested it, i would have never thought to look, flykiller. Again, thanks.
