Re:No, and I think the first few people that commented handled it well. However, the thread quickly devolved into a virtual lynchmob, and the fault lies partly in people ganging up on him and partly in the hands of some people who are just holier-than-thou on this subject. EDIT - I think the mob mentality is one of the things about this forum that makes it so hostile to people who haven't been regulars for years and years. Now that I've voiced an opposing opinion, it'll be open season on me. EDIT 2 - I'm not up for continuing the argument if others want to debate it with me. I just wish you guys could see how damn nasty this place can be sometimes. Namely, if you don't agree with the majority. |

Here is someone doing their part take note. |

In a way, that's kind of awesome. Imagine what a hit that'd be in a dorm if instead of plain, cardboard boxes, it were made out of Beast (or any other cheap beer) boxes. |

Welcome to teh innernets! ;) As I said previously, my personal stance has softened markedly. I have seen cabs burned, smashed, thrown off of buildings, dragged behind cars and sent to the dump. And that wasn't by MAMErs, but by actual collectors. Reactions range from supportive to total disgust. Having said that, if you do something that people are going to find objectionable and then post about it in a place where those people congregate (this isn't just a site for MAMErs), then you can expect people to object loudly (even csa3d said that he was expecting more flames). The outrage will continue, just like the butchering of classics will continue. NOTE: I am not making any judgement as to csa3d's specific project in this statement. |

Did you notice how many people voiced the same opinion ? Do you think they are all meanies ? --- End quote --- I think there is a line between trying to share that opinion v. attacking someone personally. Some people cross the line and make it personal and IMHO that's wrong. A message that's thoughtful, accurate, and persuasive has much better chance of being received positively than personal attacks. Not saying you did that, but it's pretty clear some others do. |
