Rudeness getting out of hand
I have noticed an increasing trend of rudeness and hostility on the forum. I have been receiving it much more lately --- when I have been doing nothing in the way of insulting or attacking anyone (though I will repsond to someone who starts such a thing with me). Maybe it's time the moderators start cracking down on such individuals. I do know this forum is more free than others, but it seems the trend of rudeness is getting worse.

Sometimes you just have to shrug it off and take everything with a grain of salt. It's hard to convey what attitude someone is in with words. It's easy to take things the wrong way especially when something is met to be a joke. I hope your not talking about the "Other" forum. Rudeness is a fine art in there.

That threads a good start, it just needs spread to the rest of the forums, as plenty (myself included) don't go in Other, and rudeness is a major problem in several other forums.

I think a lot of people's patience are wearing thin for a lot of subjects:
My personal pet peeve is folks posting thread about obvious bootlegs and asking if it is legit. I would say, based on previous posts of members, they KNOW it is NOT LEGIT. Its a joke, and I am not sure why people continue to post these threads.
I think people asking questions like that should be suspeneded immediately.

I see your point chanster.
Like every problem there are two sides to this in most cases.
A lot of rude replies, are due to flame bait type original posts.
Both need to be dealt with to resolve the issue.

Use the ignore button. It will drive those who are trying to annoy you insane.
I set someone on it and life is a lot easier. To me they do not exist at all.

Okay, okay, in all seriousness, I agree with you in principle, David, but I reserve the right to be a smart-ass to my fellow Otters... they expect nothing less of me.

Rudeness makes a religous head honcho cry.

Yeah, don't be afraid of your Ignore List. There are a lot of people here; you can afford to ignore 1 or 30 of them. If someone attacks me personally and not my opinions, I just add him to my Ignore List and move on. If only people wouldn't quote these fools so much ...
