You know, the anti-intellectual troll climate that decries any comment longer than a sentence is just a race to the bottom. In any case, I didn’t start this thread. People had complaints about WB. I pointed out a solution and outlined the nature of the problem. I’m too much of an idealist not to give a rip about the issue, but I’m also too pragmatic to get worked up about it. Ya’ll do you.

Yea. You're way too pragmatic to get worked up about it....

It's appropriate that people are bringing up Shattered, actually, because this situation with WB is similar to the problem with the Marlu clan, in that it's a discussion centered on how to deal with a disruptive and abusive social element. Rep is a community-based system with no administrative oversight. If all participants respected the function and the nature of it, it would work as it is designed to work. However, it's not designed to account for self-interested actors who abuse the system for their own benefit or amusement. In most modern societies, there are appointed authorities to deal with these problems. In a situation like Shattered or this forum, where there is no policing authority who maintains a balance, then the only response possible is a community-based one. If it's a large enough problem, then people need to band together to fix it.

Crying that fixing the problem at the community level is mob justice privileges individual action, in this case to abuse others, over the good of a group. That attitude is a problematic one in American politics as well, where the cult of the individual presides to an excessive extent. It's also just another situation that comes back to learning most of what you need to know in kindergarten: If there's one big kid on the playground who likes to bully others and you can't call in a teacher, your other option is to get a dozen kids to tie that fat-ass to a swing. The Wild West posse was a similar response, as was the medieval European charivari. This isn't a cowardly or inappropriate response: it's a rational and effective one.

For someone that doesn’t care about rep you sure are giving this way too much thought. Your posts are turning into Stumplickers.

I think BF would have to run over a line of nuns, back up and run over them again before he'd annoy me. Even then, I'd probably be like, "they must've done something to deserve it."

This has nothing to do with his politics and everything to do with him being responsible for some of the best fun I've had in a game.

Also, I like soy, motherfucker!

Unless sauce follows soy, it sucks. Hi Tisket.

I pretty much rep everyone green. Unless I don't like them, I recall being shart repped (you know who you are) or you are incredibly stupid (you also know who you are).

Fun fact: A lot of you are staying or returning to green because of my incredibly humongous reppenis.




PM me for my PayPal info.

Oooh, that was you, not Wrathbringer, eh?

And they say the average age of a GS player is like 37. I'm having a hard time picturing WB et al. as grown ass men. Like, you go have a supposedly functional life during the day, then come home and start sending shit themed messages to strangers on a forum for no reason other than that it makes you happy? Interesting.

You gave me red rep because I wouldn't give my energy to Roiken. :[

It's typically better to unleash your inner 8th grader on the internet than at work.
