How fun would it actually be without all those things you mentioned, half the reason I come here is for entertainment caused by flamewars, arguments etc.

At least some of you know to give credit where credit is due. 
In all seriousness though, there is very little "trolling" or "flaming" happening. What IS happening is a bunch of spoonfed, hypersensitive children getting offended when somebody (god forbid) disagrees with them (not even including when someone says it in a non-spoonfeeding, rainbows and unicorns, life is great kind of way).

Don't flatter yourself(ves). There's been hypersensitive spoonfed users long before even I came along. :p
Also Ammi, you realize the very thing you're complaining about is the very thing you're instigating by calling these people idiots?

MI definitely has less trolling than most forums, no doubt. In general I'd say that we are a bit friendlier as well. But we went from having 1-2 good trolls, to 4-5 mediocre ones. And the sometimes heated but mostly intelligent arguments have gotten less intelligent. Not a lot, but enough that its noticeable.
Or maybe I'm just remembering selectively.

People just need to grow a pair, it's the internet, and people will speak their mind.

Yes yes, I know, there are lots of trolls lurking around. But seriously...wtf? Almost every thread I see has a flame war going on. You'd start talking about something completely random and then end up having a flame war about something completely unrelated...

Also, have you ever heard of the term "feeding" the trolls?
You're adding more fuel to the fire, this is a fail thread from post # 1. |
