I used the examples I did, (macaroni art, et al.) because they were absurd, not because I'm trying to be hostile or unproductive. I'm sorry to disappoint, but there's no dark side there. My point was this: I stated a belief and explained why I held that belief. I knew the evidentiary inquisition was going to pop its head, so I cut it off by asking what I could provide to further substantiate my argument. Absurd examples were simply to illustrate that.

My point was, and still is, that hostile attitudes in RnF resolve nothing and add to the server's problems and that their natural occurrence is not license to fan the flames. If you truly needed evidence that individual actions can color how other people see our guild then you need look no further than several pages back. (I believe hatelore was one of several posted who expressed a lesser respect for TMO but for several individual posters).

And finally, in our society and in formal debate we accept that some issues are within the sphere of common knowledge/sense. I suspect that my point (actions of the individual can harm the whole) falls easily within the common domain. If you needed me to spell it out further, I'm not really sure how to do it.

Though I do have some extra macaroni lying around.

Don't deny it, embrace the darkside!
