1) I'd like to thank MOST people for behaving in a much more 'adult' manner after the loss than in previous defeats. Sure there were some frustrated people, but there were very few personal attacks... and if you haven't figured it out yet... that, and keeping it PG outside of smack, are really about the only 'rules' you need to make sure you follow. You don't need to call someone a name to make your point and I thank more people for heeding that. When you DO need to call someone a name... just take it to smack, and you'll STILL be able to say whatever you need to say.
2) I'd also like to point out than when YOU help by posting where you're supposed to post, it only helps everybody. I don't think it 'curtailed' what anyone had to say and it just made it that much easier to follow along and participate.
3) The community is a better place when everyone can follow a few simple rules. I don't ever expect everyone to be rosy about everything... nor do I have any rules that make you 'have to' be so... when you can express yourself within the framework of the rules... you will NEVER be censored here.
For those that don't 'understand' the need for streamlining conversation into one spot... I think last night's dialogue here was proof of both it being possible and why it's the effective way to run the community. Many of you said your piece without tearing a piece of someone else... that's to be commended.
And continually strived for.
Thanks for not making a bad night even worse by having to whipe bums.
