Well thats the internet, hell thats life. People on 2 different sides why would they agree with each other and act friendly.

Anyways i lol'd :p +1.

There is a problem on these forums, however I don't think it's confined to the "dust community". The majority of the posts are looked at with a political agenda so to speak. The posts are presented and viewed at as "sided". Whether it is the case or not. Reason and dialogue are not given a fair chance.

Certain Eon players talk down to everyone without an Eon tag, disregarding anything that is said simply because of... well.. whatever it is (no need to go into detail)





And those are simple example that have come from a single thread today.. Every thread is littered with them, unfortunately.

On the flip side, we have the blind anti-Eon bull**** as well.





*sigh*

It clouds and irrationalizes all the good conversations and discussions that could be had. Someone can ask a simple question, or try discuss a point, however it's simply viewed as one of the "sides" for whatever conflict is occurring at the time. The individual is labeled as such and\or "meta". It's difficult to sift through this crap at times.

And can turn good people into cynical spiteful bastards.

I know who\what Numb3rz is all about. He's been a friend of mine for years now. I called him my brother at one point in time, but he's become one of the worst "lol u suck scrub, get gud" posters on here. That's not him, but what these forums have done to him.

Cubs might be one of the nicest guys if you know him, but he's come off as such a jerk to everyone outside of Eon. He could cure cancer in baby kittens and no one would care. I even tried having a conversation with him at one point, but it was the same

actually, this is yet another scrub that is clueless to the situation.

So I guess it is what it is....

What's the point of all this? Well... I guess to point out that people have can have opinions, discussions and debate without having the labeled "side". In fact, those perspectives might provide some valued insight to those on either side that actually care. Just don't want it all lost in the mud-slinging and hate.

If you blame the forums then you have to blame the community inside the forums for making it that way. It's not like forums, which as I will now refer to as we, change people. We just bring out the worst in them. People hate being trolled or told they're wrong or they're bad.

But to me - it's all in good fun. But for a lot of others it's not good fun - it's just trash talking. It's really not surprizing you find defensive people in both EoN and FEC - they're putting each other through alot right now.

But I always believe these forums will just be like this - the forums have become a part of the game itself and people take it too seriously around here. Even after this war is over and EoN splits up and joins the other alliances/corps this won't end.

I find it funny he used you as an example of bad posting.

I'm down for those conversations and ER and anyone who knows me knows it.

I'm not the guy that comes here so full of my own opinions that I can't change...even if it feels like even the most logical levelheaded guys do seem to fall for this.

When I get called out and I'm wrong I'm wrong. I've been wrong most of my life. lol.

So come brothers and let us reason together.

The shame is already making ultimatums or conditions. You guys roasted Cubs without wanting to have a conversation about it....I think he's on temporary forum hiatus from all the hate. Honestly he couldn't give less of a **** about what the sh1tbums say, but the guys that truly want to use logic and not trolling to make changes..he pays attention. Sure he makes mistakes, but I been playing with cubs a lot.....a ******* lot. Pretty sure I know he's a really cool person that's level headed and a great leader with vision.
