I was tempted to make a thread on The Decline of the BoLS Lounge after reading page two of this thread, but in the end I really couldn't be bothered.

Why can't we all get along? What is is about this hobby that is so divisive? We all enjoy playing, we all enjoy the modelling and reading the fluff. Why do we dissolve into a charade worse than the House of Commons when some minor point of dispute comes up?

Its not hard to just post a simple, logical argument stating your positon. You don't have to start calling the other poster a ****-***who ****s the **** with *** and ***************by the railway tracks at mightnight *** or *** and *** camel.

We'll all grown ups here. With the exception of those who aren't. Lets behave and set an example!

Well....

Its a game primarily dominated by men... who by their very nature are competitve. You mix in ART.. which is subjective, add a splash of fluff and those that value it at different levels, then the common style of nerd that plays this (usually socially ... special!) and you get whiney competitive guys who paint crap and take less showers than usual. That need to get along long enough to bash eachother over the head with their man dollies, while retaining a certain ammount of sportsmanship so they can get repeat games...

What does this make? InterwebZ - Nerdrage.
