    Then why offer the generalizations and stereotypes in the first place, Asher? Whether you intended it or not, I was not happy to see the general Mac user *insulted* because you, son, have a problem with *some* Mac users.

    **sigh**

      I have a problem with *most* Mac users, at least here.

      And the purpose of the post was to generalize what was going on in the forum. In the future I will try to remember to place lots of * after words with qualifiers and legal bull**** below so as to not offend people who really have nothing better to do but be offended.

        OHNOES SOMEBODY'S TRYING TO BE FUNNY IN MY THREAD OH WAIT I DIDN'T EVEN START THE THREAD BUT ANYWAYS MAN YOUR BATTLESTATIONS THIS WILL NOT STAND!

        Last I checked, this is a public forum and as such, it's acceptable for people to make topical jokes and such in said public threads. If you want a discussion free from people making jokes here and there go find a private forum full of people who care about what you have to say.

          Coming from the twit who insulted my boyfriend directly 6 times and got away with it each time, that means a lot.




          You're counting them? Did I hurt the little crybaby's feelings?

                Yeah, because gee, that ignore list is sooo damned hard to figure out. And even once you have passed that hurdle, someone else may actually quote a post by Asher, and then what are you to do? By god, you would have to manually ignore his post then!

                You have my sincerest sympathies.

                  That's pretty good, Tass.

                    Hey, I tried ignoring him, but then the dickhead went and ruined the Mac forum. How exactly am I supposed to deal with that? I guess I could put Ming on ignore, but that might not be the wisest course of action...

                      I support Asher's point because of my opinion that the entire Apolyton run-down of forums needs a good purging.

                        Ignoring him is not a solution. Laugh at him. That helps.

                        It is not possible, too. Numerous people have already tried it.

                            Hehe, good summary in that post. Still, a pretty funny thread anyway.

                                I agree with the Mac people that it's pretty silly (and many will probably feel that that is a severe understatement) that Asher is the one to bring this up. After all, he's accussing the Mac people of spamming while for most of the threads that got closed, he was actually the biggest contributor. And I'm not even going into the way he handled the whole situation and the fact that his aversion from Macs is well-known (and he didn't exactly bother to hide it either).

                                However, when he's right, he's right. I checked out the history of the Mac forum: up until last June the Mac forum was indeed as it is supposed to be: mostly Civ-related discussions with very occassionaly a (more or less) off-topic thread. However, from July onwards, things quickly spun out of control and since then only about 20% off all discussions in the Mac forum was actually Civ-related. I think the Mac people too should be able to acknowledge that something went wrong in the last few months (for whatever reason(s)) and that it is only appropriate that the site's administration (in the form of Ming) took action now. This probably should have happened a bit sooner, but with a mod who retired ages ago without informing anyone I think this delay is understandable. It might be a bit painfull for some that it took someone like Asher to call for action, but this action would eventually have been taken anyway.

                                The current ('post-Asher') situation is (or should be) identical to the situation of 6 months ago, so in the big scheme of things, nothing has really changed...
