I still disagree with the basic premise of the argument.
How exactly, do short posts, in the worst case the post simply being 'lol' reflect negatively? The person still expresses an opinion or an emotion. This isn't like the days where web space was hard to come by and we had to conserve.
I must admit as well, one person comes in and posts a bunch of slander and now everyones getting pissed at each other? Pathetic. If anyone here actually cared that much about a post EvF made it shouldn't have taken some friend of the admin to come in, hiding behind the admin the whole way, posting smack about members of the forum for them to act.
If nothing else though I think Eilon is about the only person I've seen offer a possible solution to this perceived problem (with Adrian in more mods/mod training). The rest of us (1)either see no problem in the first place, (2)apparently didn't respect EvF enough to talk to him normally, or (3)do have a problem with EvFs posting but, think Bef is a prick and see that as a bigger issue.
What I do take issue with is, and I take far more issue with this than short posts, is some guy regesters and starts stirring up crap, setting everyone against people and trying to start a damned witch hunt on a forum he does not personally contribute too or is even a member of. I don't care how much you lurk or if your the admins best friend, arguably the only reason anyone cares. Reguardless of valid points it's bloody rude and for me at least, definately not appreciated.
I listen to Adrian because he has shown to be worthy of respect in many reguards, coming into the community like this looks bad on everyone and lacks common decency. In addition to that it places Adrian in the position of between a RL friend and the community he built, forcing him into a moderator seat between us at best and changing the relationship between him and members (or his RL friend) negatively at the worst.
