The standards for maturity don’t always seem to apply to Lugnet.

Confused with mfuss? Shoot me now! There’s no reason to continue breathing...

Also, let’s define “standard of maturity.” I’d call it “Play Well,” which
is something anybody can do - if they so choose. Not everyone does so
choose.
| |
This post is a pretty good example really. Do you consider it mature to
make snide comments about other people’s behaviour?
|
Which snide comments are you referring to? I was making a general statement
based on observed behavior on various LEGO enthusiast web sites, with a
specific (factual) observation that about this particular site. Any
perceived snideness was the result of reader assumptions rather than author
intent.
|
Being factual doesn’t in any way change snideness. I was specifically
referring to the additional sentence at the end after the main paragraph.
Even taking off my mistaken view that you have said similar things in the
past I still read it as a bit snide (ie. slyly disparaging). It may not be
intended as such but its apparent tone and aloneness gives me that
impression.
|
Not knowing which site(s) were the genesis of this discussion, I
subconsciously substituted “Lugnet” and “BZPower” (just ‘cuz) without making
it clear I was doing so. Dave E. pointed this out as well.
I actually feel quite strongly about the laissez-faire method of
administration on Lugnet, and I do get disturbed by the occasional flamewar
where there’s no method to apply any dampening effects (like closing a topic
or suspending somebody). There is no “official” procedure on Lugnet to
require “mature” behavior. To me, poor behavior here lessens the moral
authority of the site and by association as the core AFOL site, diminishes
the hobby and those who practice it. That’s an aside to this conversation,
but perhaps explains where the initial comment came from.

And once again sorry for my mistake.
|
No problem. Just remember - I’m the good-looking one.

See? This is the kind of thing I’m talking about.
**grins**
And if y’all don’t knock it off, I’m gonna hold my breath ‘till I turn bley!
Play Well and Prosper,
Matthew
