Well frankly, you're shooting yourself in the foot here. This comment came in a thread that I started, trying to generate constructive advice for people to improve RP. As for the person this was directed at, well I think the thread speaks for itself. Context determines everything. If a person wanted to say "Then get the %$#@##$ out if you don't like it" I'm sure he or she would. And while I might personally find the tone Unselie used a little strong I can see how the comment came about. If people won't respond to reason, eventually people will begin to sound unreasonable. Having said that, I think the comments are pretty realistic. It's not nice or pretty but that is the way things work out. I'm sure I and you have said some pretty harsh sounding things in our time, but who hasn't. If you had read the previous pages you might have got some indication of what prompted the remark. You say this is about attitudes. If you are going to quote from threads, at least do the people who wrote in them the courtesy of reading what they contributed before you start quoting. Not to do so shows disregard.
If you want an admin to respond publicly, Pm them and ask them to. Posting a new thread only generates responses from other people in the forum. Like me.
All of this is adding fuel to a fire that, in the grand scheme of things, isn't all that important. This is a spaceship game, remember. So with that in mind, I am going for a picnic now.
