Anthony Please Don't leave Lugnet or stop posting. I have been in your
shoes before. When I suggested that some people would not be especially
happy if the July surprise was the reissue of the early 80's sets.
(specifically the guarded Inn but for different reasons than the ones you
stated) I was called selfserving and caddie and got a lecture on what it
means to be cool. I scratched my head (hard) and shurged and kept going
(well it took a little more time that that). but I haven't taken posts by
people who disagree with me or that I disagree with as faulty or less
important (after a week or so ;). Than any other posts. (hmmm this paragraph
seem to be about me and not convincing you not to leave lugnet maybe I AM
selfserving. ha ha ha)
(the folowing is a rant/atempted expination of general message board
problems. Ignor it if you feel so inclined. hopefuly 1 or 2 people read it
and tell me I'm full of crap or at least think a bit about posting to
meassage boards. Someone else responded above with a similar point, but
since I'm on web TV and it doesn't have multipule browser windows I can't
check back to see who said it or what exactly they said.)
this is a problem with all message board systems. printed words can easly
be misinterperted. plus it is hard to show emphisis and things like sarcasm
etc. also once someone says something it is out there for everyone to see
even if it was posted it in anger, while drunk, depressed or extremely
overjoyed. No one can see these things and use them to help interperate
what is being said. and an immediate responce s not possible. another
problem is the "in crowd" or peer pressure problem. It is easier to agree
with the crwd that to go against it. I admit that I fall into this trap
too. I've looked back at posts thinking why did I post that I haven't said
anything new. One final problem with Message boards is typos (especially
when I type) a mistyped letter or word can easily be misinterperted to give
it a whole different meaning. which can change the whole feel of a post.
(end rant ect.)
