Whiners, Trolls, Morons....
Saturday, October 5, 2002 by T-Man | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I have been noticing of late that there has been quite a bit of name calling going on these days. It seems that anytime someone comes along and has a negative comment towards WinCustomize or someone else or who may have ripped a skin, a bandwagon of people tend to jump all over that person and tend to start calling them whiners, trolls, morons, etc, etc etc.
I personally find this behavior very rude and offensive and am getting very sick of it. So I ask all of you to please take more time when responding to such a post and really consider what you are saying. Its ok for people to have a different opinion and express it. Its ok to debate the issues and to try and explain your point of view. But its really not ok to start name calling.
Luckily there hasn't been any real flame wars that have resulted from this. But it doesn't take much. Just try to think about how you would feel if someone called you the name that you are about to call them just because you do not agree with their point of view.
Just excerise a bit more control when responding and do unto others as you wish them to do to you.

Since I seem to have disappeared since I posted this thread I am beginning to feel like one of those trolls who are consistently whining about the moron's running this site. 
But I am glad that this has sparked some good discussion on the topic. I'm really not trying to dictate any rules hear but trying to make the world a better place by trying to keep peace.
Oh, and Doreen, I do have the power to revoke your access. MOOUHHAHHAHAHA!!

feline agree's, a world without Doreen would be a far poorer world indeed
however, on those days when Doreen is busy else where and i am feeling energetic, i do my best to carry on the glorious tradition of doreenosis
feline thinks my current personal best is 12 consecutive posts

Hmm, okay, they are able to create an account first. Great thing. So we can expect at least some ability to read. The only thing I find really annoying are these 'What program do I need to apply this skin/theme ?' questions, because the answer is written on the same page, where they downloaded the stuff.
