Again speaking OOC, I seriously doubt this list was created just so people
could flame each other......... Now, you automatically assumed that all I
wanted to read was game mechanics, which isn't very smart because I did not
say anything to that effect and it is very illogical to make an assumption
where none is warrented and you could very easily be wrong........ (Do note
that I could have called you a variety of names because of that mistake, but
as I said before, I do not enjoy flaming......)....... Also, your statement
that the list was designed specifically for flaming was also completely
unwarranted, and has already been proven incorrect in the past........

Now, game mechanics can be discussed in this list, sure, but I never said
nor did I imply that it should be that exclusively........ Like I *also* said
in my earlier post, in the beginning it wasn't so bad, it was still in the
range of what the list should be for because there was the declaration of war
and then the valid points of why this was done or why that was done or why
this particular situation is the way it is, etc. etc. etc. That is valid,
because it keeps to the game and is somewhat civilized........ But when people
start arguing with each other, then that should be kept between them, or put
on a list that was designed for the purpose of flaming....... If the arguing
was pertaining to the game, for example, arguing that in a certain war
something happened while the other side of the arguement argues that it didn't
happen, that is pertaining to the game and is fine...... But insulting each
other, arguing without it being directly involving the game, where they are
attacking each other instead of trying to point out an event or some such
thing that they believe happened or is a part of the game is just plain
stupid.......

Now, considering the list has been used for game mechanics and things
pertaining to the game alot more often then what has been happening very
recently is proof enough in itself that this list was NOT designed for the
purpose of flaming....... In my personal opinion, which I doubt many would
agree with, no list that wasn't designed exclusively for flaming should be
used for that purpose, because there is absolutely no point in insulting each
other........ And this is the only point where I will actually insult but I
believe anyone who ENJOYS flaming people and watching others flame each other
is a damned fool..........
