Constructive discussion

[Hawk Kriegsman]

I've checked over the posts re LOS that Gordon brought up.
All the guy was checking out was, simply put, Should one be able to check LOS from any hex on the map when there are no units looking from that position? Seems a sensible enough point.

Agreed 100% with you Peter that it was a simple point he brought up. No issues there.

Then, looking over the threads, one thread seems to have been removed, one closed.

Actually nothing was removed as far as I can tell. As for the one that was closed: did you see the moderator's reason. G'sHQ open up a new thread for no reason (in the mod's opinion) other that he was being disagreed with.

There were some valid replies with different views and many others attacking personalities.

Unfortunately the original poster IMHO started the ball rolling in an unconstructive manner.

I'm not taking sides here but, as I said before, There are probably a lot of other members of the Blitz who just don't enter into discussions because there seems to be a 'core' of members who seem to overrun the thread and, the unpleasantness that then follows is something that would put anyone off of entering into the debate?

IMHO not entering into debate becasue someone may say something you don't like is cowardly IMHO. We are all grow ups here. If you choose to enter a debate or not enter a debate it is on you and you alone. If you ego is so fragile that it can be damaged by anyone here at the Blitz, well then it is probably best that you don't post.

I personally used to love reading some of the threads on here but recently, it seems that any interesting thread just degenerates.

:stir: Let me put a news flash out to all posters. :stir:

Mr. Roadrunner is going to post on almost any subject that is put on the Blitz, especially if it is about proposed rule changes.

Further more seeing that he is a bit of a crumedgeon ;) he does not like several of the rule changes. He is passonite about the game to the point of excess IMHO. So am I. So I tend to post a lot or not at all depending how annoyed I am at any giving time.

And lastly if you don't like what Mr. Roadrunner (or anyone else) says DO NOT respond to it. Stick to the facts if you must, don't quote him (or anyone else) or use his (or anyone elses) name. Then it CANNOT be personal.

For the sake of the site, let's keep debates polite and encourage views from everyone.

Agreed 100%, but that also includes Mr. Roadrunner. Afford him the same courtesies as anyone else.

Remember, as in business, new blood is vital to keep going, don't let's frighten it off!

Agreed again 100%, but most gaming communites have a hardcore group of yahoos in it. The Blitz is no different than anywhere else.

Bring your wit and passion; check your ego at the door.

Thanx!
