I dunno what the deal is, but today there was a rash of flamish, angry posts. I deleted more comments today than I have in the last three weeks.<\/p>\n
My Thanksgiving greeting was used as a launching point for talking about the stupidity of the holiday and the deficiencies of a monotheistic god. Neither is a particularly appropriate response to someone expressing gratitude and wishing you well. Next time my wish for you to have a good day gets on your nerves, look towards the BACK button instead of the comments. Good grief.<\/p>\n
Other comments were needlessly nitpicky or argumentitive. They survived, but only because I was sick of nuking comments. But really, if you want to fence with people over whose ancestors were the bigger jerks, you’re on the wrong site. There are people who luuuuve to argue and other people who LOVE to moderate flame wars. I am neither. Go away.<\/p>\n
Some other threads deteriorated into personal insults or foul language for no discernable reason. Some of these were on old posts (I have a whole bunch of hot threads going on ages-old Final Fantasy posts for some reason) and some were in the recent discussion on Steam. I don’t know what the problem is today, but the ambient level of rudeness is way above normal. <\/p>\n
Aside from that, I had a tremendous day. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
