There is a decorum we should keep on this board if we want to keep it from being just a bunch of name-calling. This is part of it. So to be clear, here is the line:

Arguing peoples' ideas = good.

Calling people names as a placeholder so you don't have to argue their ideas = bad.

Saying "Jeez, guys--I know it is common to argue that Nate's the cause of losses around here, but that clearly wasn't the case this time..." is an example of the first, and is good. Saying "you guys are a broken record, and you have a mental disease..." goes too far. The first argues ideas, the second argues that it is the people that are the problem, not the ideas. And while apologies are all well and good, if you don't go overboard in the first place you never have to apologize afterwards. My goal here is to guide you guys so you don't have to apologize.

I think we should table this topic at this point. You guys understand my position, I understand yours. If not, feel free to PM me but let's keep a game thread a game thread and not a discussion of board etiquette.
