SUBSIM Radio Room Forums - We the undersigned..

We the undersigned hold the following to be true

1) I like to play both SH3 and SH4, U-boat and fleet boat, atlantic and pacific operations, or alternatively i prefer one theater, but that's just a personal preference. Nothing major invested in it.

2) I do not get all "aroused" at the prospect of the righteous rain of death I am virtually inflicting in the name of freedom

3) I do not get all misty for jackboots, nazi insignia, invading other countries, and evil dictatorships

4) They are just uncommonly good games.

5) Modders for one group or the other are not "our boys, heroes, angels, omnipotent beings" while the other group's are "them, evil, plagiarists, incompetents". Modders are people who have the time, talent and inclination to do this work and graciously share it with others (although that's not to say that the sun therefore radiates from their nether regions), and they all in general and in particular have my respect and deep gratitude, whether their mods be huge or small, and however they decide to organise the project.

6) I am tired of people on these forums, people who i respect and believe should know better, exhibiting insensitivity and hyper-sensitivity, clannishness and belligerence, disrespect and exagerrated false dichotomies, chips on the shoulder and excessive demand that no perceived slight goes unchallenged ad nauseum.

Good manners and giving the benefit of the doubt with regards to ambiguous posts will help everyone to end this embarassingly childish state of affairs
