I just have to say, This escalated quickly.
Sure it's been kinda festering for a while, but geeze I didn't realize it'd gotten this bad this quickly.

Well I have a suggestion for anyone with any reason left.

Let's just go back to what makes this forum great, and put our egos aside. Perhaps some things just aren't worth arguing about.

Any time I've ever gone into a debate I've always held a quote in mind every time.

"A man convinced against his will, is still a man unconvinced."

I say do away with general discussion, perhaps temporarily, but nevertheless this forum needs to go back to a place where we can all be civil for a while.

Magic the gathering

At this point I don't see any clear resolution, it's more like two angry people in a fight. You just need to separate them and remove the cause.

Maybe not the most perfect solution.

But right now I'd just like to see some ground gained.

DirtyMustachio

Be it right or wrong, the general discussion area is a added bonus to our.

MAGIC THE GATHERING
Forum.

If it's removed, no debate.

Yes! I entirely agree. This has gone entirely overboard. I would love to see it chill out for a bit so that we can all come back to our senses.

In order for this forum to equalize and come back to normal, I think the political chatter should be cut out. All I see is people stating opinions, then telling the guy(or gal) they don't agree with they are wrong. Opinions are rarely changed, so what the point when these civil debates turn into a cluster .love. and nothing at all changes.

I agree with nighthawk when he said this is a MAGIC FORUM... For magic talk. It shouldn't be anything more.

Mustachio, if we were in person right now I'd give you one of those high fives that echoes and stings for a little while afterwards. Right in the mark pal.

Let's get on with what we came here for and ignore what is based on a rectangle piece of paper.

DirtyMustachio

Thanks guys
I'd doll out you guys of the karma but I'm all out for the day.

But spencer and spikepit couldn't agree more.

I'll be honest I don't agree with piotrs decision or his less than kind attitude in dealing with the community after the fact.

But I was actually involved in the political debate that abstract apathist was banned for. And to be honest I kinda see why he banned her.

Lots of people took what happened and ran with it.

What I took was Piotr was claiming that AA was citing web sources as truth. And the sources themselves may have been libel or biased and not based on fact.

And she continued to do it.

I may be wrong but that's how I took it.

I freaking hate .politics. on interwebz

Try not to pay attention to him. He's really pissed off right now, and he has managed to fuel his own fire.
