knightblaster Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Respect generally goes out the window when anonymity and accountability are removed from the environment. Pretty much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khechari Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 In my opinion others' opinions don't count. Am I doing this right? OP has to respect that. I, however, do not. Like you, I believe that others' opinions don't count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trinta Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 If you really want to correct something you found wrong in said thread of you just want to post your opinion, Post your own thread. In every forum I'm familiar with, this is expressly against the rules. Keeping it all in one topic is key. Oh, I'm sorry, was I supposed to create my own thread to tell you this?

carrylot Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Let me start off by telling you what this is not. This is not a thread for discussing if TOR is a good or bad game. This is not a thread to post features you would or would not like changed. This is not a thread to come in and troll. This is not a thread to call every poster who you don't agree with a troll. In this thread I want to talk about an issue I've seen with the community. Some of you may not agree with me on this and think of it as a non issue. You may even post about it. That is perfectly fine. Everyone is entitled to an opinion. Even if their opinion is not fact based and your opinion is. The major issue I've seen on these forums is people not respecting one another's opinions. I've seen far to many people who think TOR is a great game go into a thread posted by someone who dislikes the game and say something like this. “How can you say that? Its impossible for anyone to dislike that feature. I don't understand why you hate TOR. You are just a hater!!!” Likewise I've seen many people who dislike TOR go into a thread made by someone who enjoys the game and say something like this. “How can you say that? Its impossible for any to like that feature. I don't understand why you like TOR. You are just a fanboy!” Look folks, it's about respecting other people as human beings. TOR is going to have varying opinions about it. Every game does. What I'm just pleading with you people to do is to respect others. People who dislike TOR, how does it affect you if someone enjoys the game? Can you honestly tell me that it is somehow detrimental to you if someone likes a game you don't like? Its not a bad thing for you to dislike it, or even to voice your dislike for it, but when you try to force that belief on others it creates problems. People who enjoy TOR, how does if affect you if someone dislikes the game? Can you honestly tell me that it is somehow detrimental to you if some dislikes a game you like? Its not a bad thing for you to like it, of even to voice your enjoyment of it, but when you try to force that belief on others it creates problems. This disrespect for other people also applies to many other areas of life. Now obviously it doesn't apply to every area. For instance the murderer example. “Well it was my opinion I should kill him” <---The person who said that should not have his opinion. respected but remember this is a game. Its not going to affect your real life in significant ways if someone has a different opinion on it than you. So people who enjoy TOR, if you find a thread posting an opinion you don't agree with. Don't post in it. If you really want to correct something you found wrong in said thread or you just want to post your opinion, Post your own thread. People who dislike TOR, if you find a thread posting an opinion you don't agree with. Don't post in it. If you really want to correct something you found wrong in said thread of you just want to post your opinion, Post your own thread. I believe that if we follow these rules, we will all feel better and not have so much anger at each other. If you disagree with my opinion posted in this thread feel free to post a reply telling your opinion I will respect them and you as fellow people. Also if any moderators read this and don't think its appropriate for the forums, take it down. I understand. TL;DR Respect others opinions.

Vydor_HC Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Some people's opinions are better than others. You should not respect an opinion unless it's a good one. That's just an excuse for continued bad behavior. Either ignore them or respectful explain why their arguments have no merit. There is absolutely no reason to act without respect.
