Forum morality

You are probably correct, however it's an understandable comment, given some of the opinions we've seen.

morsealworth is just as much entitled to his opinions as everyone else here, so I hope this isn't going to lead to singling him out as I'd hate to see that happen.

You are free to have that opinion - you aren't necessarily free to act out that desire however. (The same would go both ways aswell as towards other people.)

Which would lead to the situation where it is most beneficial to everyone to agree to disagree.
Not everyone has to see eye to eye, but things don't have to get nasty because of that.

However, if anything - that would be significantly off-topic.
So I'd recommend we all get back to that instead of argueing the validity and morality of our fellow forumgoers.

*** waits for a post from Monkeythumbz about how Godus is being singled out ***

I saw nothing wrong with that post Morsealworth made about good intentions. It was very much on topic and when I said I agreed to disagree and dropped that other thread, I meant it. Morsealworth is not an unwelcome poster to this forum regardless of some of his opinions differing from mine. We are all adults here, to the best of my knowledge, and I expect us all to conduct ourselves as such.

This forum is all about open and honest discussions and you can see by the level of activity in this thread it hit a nerve. I would also disagree it was not productive as it led to an end result of Monkeythumbz agreeing to alter the store description in a much more transparent and fair way to future Steam buyers. It was a bit heated at times but sometimes you have to break a few eggs to make an omelette.

Happy Posting for all.

So ehm, who's the judge on whose opinions are valid and whose are not?



If it is so personal then that seems to warrant discussion in a thread about that specific topic. Another option is to have a private discussion. I don't suppose you'd like to have a private discussion with him though.



I agree with your sentiment, but I didn't see him post anything sexist, racist or homophobic in this thread.



"The road to hell is paved with good intentions" is just a proverb. It's been around for ages and it wouldn't have been if it didn't have a certain poignant truth about it. A deeply religious person might take offense of it, but the way the phrase was used doesn't appear to have any religious undertone to it. Also, there are no regulations stating that a post has to be productive. If there had been such regulations I would probably have had to string myself up to a tree by now.

Look, it might seem like I'm being harsh on you but I would have said these same things to any other member and I would also speak up for any other member if their persona were to become a target. So far it was all very innocent but I've been around the block and I know what these things could lead to if allowed to fester on their own. I just decided to nip it in the bud. This is also not me against you personally. I know there are other people who are of the same opinion as you who might do the same thing, so I am speaking to everyone here.

As for my personal opinion on morsealworth, I would say he's rather eccentric. He also seems strongly opinionated and definitely not dumb. None of these things are a reason not to welcome him on the forum. In fact, those could be viewed as admirable traits for a member of any forum. It is apparent to me that his culture is very different from my own. His sense of humour is very different from mine as well, this much is clear from the videos I've seen him post. In my opinion this adds to the variety of the forum.

As for the whole debate on sexism and whatnot, I didn't really get into it because I wasn't interested in participating in that discussion. From what I did see of it I have to say that although morsealworth took a rather non-standard (couldn't find the right word) standpoint, he did provide arguments for it. On the other hand there were a whole bunch of people countering with what seemed to be mainly emotionally laden reasoning, which was ironically part of the topic of the thread. Regardless of whether I would agree with him or not, I think despite him being one against many, he managed to hold his own.

Oooh, you should make a different account for each mind within your own without telling us. Or maybe you already have 0_0

Nah, I've never really felt a connection to a mirror image of myself. I do feel that I'm one handsome devil, but I'm only human and that's a topic for another time.

That said, I don't really know what the purpose of this thread is, to be honest.

Me neither. I guess it was to prevent some derailing the original thread.
