In case you're referring to me quoting Naivatkal on his 'An RP', that was purely in jest, and my own response was ironically grammatically incorrect on purpose to show that it wasn't to be taken as a serious bash on the player.

| Post subject: | Disappointed |
I have been playing NWN for about 2 yrs and nearly all of that on Amia. Most of what kept me here was the wonderful community of players and DMs. You guys have some of the most creative and inspired minds and for the most part are very supportive, especially when I was a clueless newbie. Lately though, particulary in the forums, there seems to be an increasing trend of viciousness and intolerance. The proverbial straw that broke this camel's back was seeing somebody being harrassed for grammatical errors. It looked to me like a couple of bullies on the playground getting annoyed with another kid and beating him in front of his peers and looking at him as if to say, "I am bigger than you, what are you going to do?" It was needlessly belittling and demeaning, and in no way constructive. For some people here, English is not first language and even the most educated person is apt to make errors when emotions run hot. I believe we are better than this. Please don't let our frustrations tear apart this community. I believe the #1 rule on this server is respect other players. People are bound to disagree, but lets try to be repectful about it. |

I wholeheartedly agree with OP's post and constructive criticism is always better. That being said I can never see the topic word without thinking of this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_O1hM-k3aUY |

I would confirm this, but I don't care what you say. I know you know I'm teasing, but had to put a disclaimer just in case <3 |

I apologize to you 666. That was the post I was referring to. Due to the atmosphere of that thread and the way people were snapping at each other, I misconstrued the intent of your post. I chose not to call you out on it by name because I didn't feel any one person should be singled out on this issue. However, I still stand by the concerns I expressed in my origional post. Please remember to be respectful. |

Aw, don't worry about 666. He's harmless. A veritable enigma given he lives in Chult. Chult is now what I refer to Australia as. |

I appreciate the humor guys, but when I make a mistake I make sure I own it. I don't want any hard feelings. |

I just wanted people to remember that even though there are no life like toons running around in the forum, we are all still people behind these names and we should treat each other with respect. Although the post I zeroed in on was meant as playful banter, there are countless others that aren't. |

People do seem to be especially on edge lately. Internet arguments are the lowest of the low, yo. |
