Gruff off topic

[Nikolai]

That's what you and Lancer are doing right now by constantly complaining about something that's not such a problem any more. Not only that, but Lancer is guilty of the very thing he's complaining about - which is pretty hypocritical if you ask me.

In fact IIRC this forum has been a lot better for a long time - it's almost as if the people that were the real problem here voluntarily left of their own accord leaving the nice posters...?

I know you're trolling me, but I am doing no such thing. It's true I don't like the change of atmosphere, but I never left and like Poly.

even mobius is being almost reasonable about this...

even the neckbeard gets it.

Mobius or nikolai?

Two things:

1.) I was a great tree climber in my youth, but I'm big enough for most of my life now that the scrapes that come with tree-climbing are formidable and I don't do it hardly ever anymore. I do not remember any pictures of me up a tree online. Perhaps I've forgotten.


2.) And if I haven't already made it abundantly clear, I support the existence of Civil OT. I'm not participating for reasons I'm not going to discuss, but it's a good idea for the future of Apolyton. Period.

However, for reasons to do with personality conflicts and old grudges, the idea is very unpopular here in the troll pit. Nik, starting this thread was impolitic of you - not a criticism or any kind of attack, but advice. This thread is not going to promote Civil; it only serves to annoy the many people opposed. Any observations as to the downside of a trollish forum culture do nothing to dissuade the trollish - they feel provoked, and I'm surprised the bounce-back hasn't been more intense. Mobius tends to have it exactly right above, something he's become prone to since he largely reformed.

The best way, in short, to grow Civil as members is to patiently keep doing what you've been doing - post. Activity draws more activity. A lot of the guys are looking in there; let it happen, and ignore this thread. I'm trying to be helpful.

I don't know about that. Every time I see the other forum I think it's stating that this forum isn't good enough for them. I see that as more their problem then ours.

Just my opinion.

I know, right? Positively infuriating!

That darn often-polite new Mob!

I guess he found out it's not fun unless he's got an audience.

That would explain why he is here instead of at the panda forum. That place is dead.

Well, in the immortal words of our long lost comrade... ****... the guy with the lego avatar... French commie... what was his name? ****ing ball ****ting **** monster. What the bloody hell was his name?! Anyway, sometimes the animal clearly wants it.

You do seem to have a lot of those; old grudges and personality conflicts, I mean. If you started letting go of those old grudges you'd probably find you have fewer conflicts with other people.
