I like my luls just as much as the next guy (I tip my hat to QF who has delivered quite a few recently), but I think the forum's climate and tone is starting to step on the toes of people that don't really deserve it. I'm not going to white knight the usual crowd of mouth breathing RNF warriors from both sides, they're big boys and jumped in willingly, so they get whatever happens.

But it's a shitty thing when your guild is collapsing or experiencing set backs, and I don't think the average FE member who just wants to raid needs this much dirty laundry aired from what should be a safe place for them to speak their minds. Posting the "thanks for all the fish" I guess it's not too bad. Good knife twist at the guys who like to RnF back and forth. Posting Multania's membership poll? Sure, I guess she/he has a bad rep with the whole lawsuit thing.

I just wonder what's next. It's not some huge moral transgression to keep on posting these things, but I think it's more painful for the average FE member than it is the neckbearded RnF master you're trying to harm. Some say that RnF is "meaningless" or that it is "just in fun" and while that may be true for the person saying it, it's often the opposite for someone who wanted no part of it but has now been dragged down as a casualty.

I just hope we have a little bit of tact going forward and that we all have a little bit more respect for the average guy on both sides.

The muumuu wearing crowd can continue to ram each other with their rascal scooters and throw their special dialing wands at each other, but let's keep from being disrespectful towards the privacy and trust of the non-involved bystander that just wants to play EQ competitively with his friends.

In short? I'm not 100% sure where you're going at with that.
