Another_fan is rabidly obsessed with hatred for Titan. His posting history on the official forums seems to indicate he had a running feud with certain posters like Golden Girl. Something about a "Forum Cartel" or something?
[snipped quotes and links to make things a little shorter]
Unbelievably he actually called Black Pebble a NAZI!
1) I believe the nazi remark was a joke in poor taste. I don't think he actually believes Black Pebble has Nazi characteristics. (BP is a total sweetie!)
2) While I think Another_Fan was an obstinate jerk that talked out his back end, I can kind of understand why he would be so anti-Titan (other than his natural fondness of pissing in the cheerios of others)
Your hearts are in the right place but I feel that some information is portrayed by more vocal members as absolute fact and certainties not speculation and possibilities.
The ones that received information from the source may believe it but remember, the rest of us get that info secondhand it may have gotten garbled during exchange or something false from the get-go because the source made it up for some sadistic reason.
There's no way to prove or disprove these things unless:
a) it happens
b) we gain the ability to read minds of any and all involved with said information
Understandably, you want fans to be hopeful and optimistic that CoX will be saved/ that Plan Z will be everything they want it to be/ that NCSoft/Nexon and other baddies will get their just desserts but please,
please understand that there are lots of "what ifs" that could absolutely crush those possibilities. So be careful with what you say and how you say it.
Also, its better to take the high road and overlook the naysayers instead of egging them on or talking back.
The words and actions of a few are taken as a representation of the community as a whole. so make those words and actions something that the rest of us can be proud of. If you absolutely feel compelled to talk back, make it clear that its YOUR views, not those of the Titan community. Also, I feel leadership should be laying down some rules of conduct for activity outside these forums.
I am supportive of some things being done by the Titan community but I don't want to be seen as one that supports or participates in some of the more distasteful or misguided actions made by others in the community.
