No matter what you may think of someone or how silly they might appear, it's never a good idea to drag them through a multiple page flame or mockfest.
You can always:

A) Ignore them if you don't have anything contributing to say.
B) Explain to them calmly why they're wrong.

But what you should not do is try and humiliate them or flood their thread.

Yes some people go on the forums to whine and moan.
But perhaps they just do not understand. Perhaps they've jumped to conclusions, but it doesn't mean you have to do it as well.

If anyone is wondering what I'm talking about, it's about this thread.

I know the guy was wrong. I know what he sounded like. I myself could've thought of at least 5 different sarcastic comments about his thread. But to do it is wrong.

Now I congratulate the people who either ignored the thread or explained to him why some of his comments were ludicrous and where he went wrong.
And why could the thread not have been filled with just that?
Certainly would've saved some forum space and nerves too.

So I'd just like to ask you to heed my words and whatnot.

Just to prove to you that the guy wasn't the dumbass you prejudiced him to be, we've had a conversation through PMs and it turned out it was a misunderstanding. He didn't quite know how things worked around here, and yes, he broke the rules, and yes, he deservedly got sanctioned.
But in the end he accepted that fact and that was that.

And now he's left the server. Yeah, I know we have plenty of players and that 99% of us didn't know him and that almost as many don't care that he's gone.
But this is still not the way to create and maintain a well-natured community of gamers and friends.

So have a bit of face, please, and have some consideration, as well as common sense.

Mmkay?
