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.

I used absurd examples also, and often, how does this differ? Because you did it?

If you are using hatelores as an example you are proving my point, The guy is an object of faith he believes Obama is actively trying to destory this country. Hatelores sent me hate pm's and within a week was telling me how I was intelligent and he doesnt take RnF seriously, and then within 1 more week he was flipping out again. Please add someone who is rational and stable to your theory. Also, in his quest to discredit me he could be adding in that statement to harm me in some way. Its expected response theory in reverse.

Actions of an individual can harm the whole obviously. However, your point was not this. your point was that RnF warriors will harm TMO. That requires evidence to prove. Actions harming a whole is not a blanket statement.

I never claimed that absurd example have no place. That, would be putting words in my mouth. We both use adjectives, nouns, and the word "the" a lot. Are we going to start parsing those too?

I have no need to do so. I am confident that my points stand clearly and soundly just as they are. I stand by my assertions that many RnF participants are harmful to both their own guild's reputation and to the server's health. I submit that all proper and necessary burdens of evidence and persuasion have been met to properly make my point.

And finally, I submit that the following statement is self evident and particularly relevant to this thread.

The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good.

Then you have no claim. Unless you are the arbiter of what claims have a place and when.

Ok have faith in your claim. I can't stop the faithful.
