    Take the meanest, nastiest post on this board. How would you feel if it was directed at you?

    Over the last several months, I have received PMs from people pointing out how this board behaves like a bunch of dickheads.

    Sure, people are going to transgress and fuck up now and then, that is just human nature.

    But rather than ripping them a new asshole, can we be just a bit more considerate?

    Now, obviously, if the transgressor keeps it up, again and again people's considerateness will grow thin.

    I realize it is very easy to hide behind a keyboard many miles away and act like a complete motherfucker but I don't really think that gets you very far.

    Yeah, that would be great, but it ain't gonna happen.

    I concur, Skulldrain is a cruel mistress . . . . Even as a 'Snarker, shit talker, chubby cheetos stained digit, keyboard stabbing, two-bit hero of the internettz, shithead' I still cry myself to sleep every night!

    I never thought of Andy as crying. Unless it was of laughter at his slain enemies.

    Everyone is so nice at SDCC, so just pretend you are there when you are here.

    I thought fist fights were a common thing at SDCC in the mid/late 2000s, especially during the Pogue period...

    I thought there was a couple drunken arrests?..Maybe it's a bad idea to act like we're at the con.

    The fights are just glorified myths. Toy nerds are freaking pansies in person.

    Not that I disagree with what you've said Chad, but the board is really what you make of it. I try to play an active role in discussions, provide feedback on stuff where I can, share what little I know, etc. It's all about adding to the general appreciation of toys, which is, after all, what the forum is for. Sure there are always going to be some folks coming in who bring a bad attitude, or people who don't really get the sense of 'community' around here, if one even exists - but it's also balanced with the other side too. Manners and general civility have taken a downturn overall I would say in the current society, and when you add in the anonymity the internet allows, well it definitely gets worse.

    Some people get touchy, while others exercise their personal beefs on here. And that is really an individual (and discrete) issue. But I have not seen near the negativity lately as we have before. Hopefully the mods have a good control of things; and elsewise it is more a self-policing atmosphere, as has always been the general attitude of SB. I don't think it has been any worse lately than it has been in the past, but I could be wrong. I know a lot the old guard has walked away from the board, which is unfortunate, as it is a greater loss to everyone; but I don't feel giving up is the way to go either. Without being able to control what anyone with a membership can write, the best we can do is to try and add positive contributions to the board ourselves.

    As for fighting at conventions, well, we have already had a few volunteers for that who seem all too willing to drop the gloves.

    Haha Kevin, exactly one of those examples. I do not blame him one bit; you are a huge and intimidating guy. :mrgreen: And didn't you kneecap James at the last nerdmeet? These things get around you know.

    When did Flynn write that? Oh... every couple of years apparently. I've only been here like two years and I don't know how many times I've seen this come up. It's too bad Brian has to pop in occasionally to act like our guidance counselor, or in this case deputize Chad.

    I think that it's high time that we do go back to being more considerate of others. To that end, I propose that all future SDCC fist-fights be handled with utmost courtesy. Bring back beatings with civility!

    For all the smack talk that this post generated to me in PMs it seems everyone was all talk and no action.
