It's funny how insulting the proponents of the civility section are being while talking about how much they can't stand that anyone opposed it. Fuck's sake. How do any of you not notice the hypocrisy and realize how much it cripples your argument. I've seen people called petty, hysterical, dramatic, etc. all by people who want this place to be more civil.
We're working on something, so stop being assholes for five seconds so we can feel like our time is worth it.
Opposition by itself is does not equal hysteria. However, the content of some posts on the matter IMO, amounted to as much. That’s simply my opinion, FWIW. Also, I’m not advocating for the entire forum to be more civil. I’m not always civil, and if I want to call someone an asshole because I think they deserve it, or because they pissed me off, I enjoy the right I have here at AF to do just that. Outside of the “Civil Discussion” subforum.
There is no Civil Discussion subforum. That's been scrapped because of the "hysteria," or rather because there was no majority feeling in either direction. You may find that we have to make the forum more "civil" on the whole to prevent this kind of bullshit from happening, and that now, you will only be able to call someone an asshole in R'lyeh.
