Tolerate the avatars, please! They are so easy to ignore. Don't blow _them_
out of proportion. I find yet-another-mecha about as exciting as navel lint,
but I don't complain when they get crossposted to .space even though they

It's really, really high time a lot of LUGNETers exercised a bit of
tolerance. If there's one thing that detracts from reading LUGNET, it's
seeing another flame war start all because someone who is forum-immature
expresses an unpopular opinion badly and gets howled down in a torrent of

LUGNET is "ours" as in "everyone's". No cliques please.
Thanks for reading, and please, play well!
