Disco Controversy

[Bad Guy]

Controversy creates arguments usually.
People have trouble seperating their differences from their dislikeskes.
As folks have said, the Internet's lack of visual and audio support for most conversations leaves us typically looking like dicks when we sometimes may not mean to be. Or allowing us to act like dicks with no consequences.

Generally, if you are 'controversial', you disagree or think differently than a good few folk in the community. This typically leads to at least some of those folk disliking you, leading to some rather heated OOC disliking. Which can typically lead to trouble.

Why does disagreeing with someone have to lead to them disliking you? I find it is more the in game relations that tend to find their way on to the forum, rather than the other way around. It seems to be a common occurrence in games and indeed sports. People tend to take it far too seriously.

In my daily life I find most people are not completely afraid of change. However, they tend to be far more accepting of change if it is done over a longer period of time and gives them their chance to add their views on the matter. If they don't and that change really does impact their lives, then they get cranky very quickly. I think that sort of situation plays out quite often on freelancer. Some would say it is just a game, and of course it is, but games are never fun if major changes occur without the ability to actually control what happens.
