Then you haven't seen enough of their legions of other nasty posts in articles pertaining to CoH over there.
Well to be honest I seen nasty posts from both sides in those articles. Some people here shouldn't throw too many stones. From what I seen in many of those articles, sometimes it's few people from here that go there and start stuff and in many cases, it's the other side. But overall neither side is perfectly clean. And that's just looking at it from a neutral ground honest point of view.
On both sides there were some stuff that were borderline and could be just a lack of tact or trolling but what I notice is that neither side give any benefit of the doubt and go directly for the fight regardless of who started it. In the other articles that is.
Not to mention, In those articles, I noticed more people flock there to "fight them off" while I think in a couple of instances especially around that time that "negative" article came to be, that many people from here went there starting flame wars, yet totally ignored the positive article even after Capt. pointed the article out.
I think some people are so focused on fighting people like Real65 and Evil1 that they are losing and or lost sight of what we are actually fighting for. But that is my opinion and nothing more.
Or maybe I just hate that our community so split like this. and maybe that just stems more from the ideal clogging up the reality of the situation that it may be impossible at this point to have the community whole again. But that is something I must deal with. That is my battle in not letting the ideal get in the way of the reality. Sometimes I lose. And i'm not talking about ex-coxers merely here and on massively. In CO, in STO, in NW, in WoW many of them chose sides and spend more time battling the other side than the one's actions that caused the homelessness. NCSOFT. Albeit that one side don't seem interesting in fighting against them, but still, to see comments like "it's dead that is the end of it." "Those nutcases? Pffft. F-em." "Those crybabies still aint moved on? They have serious issues." and etc and not just from Evil1 and Real65, but from many coxers across many games view of this cause. And here, calling the other side trolls, and other things. A bit disheartening to me. When in the past we had our differences and sometimes never seen eye to eye but then, we were still coxers at the end of the day. Now...not sure. Or maybe I'm talking nonsense and need a Rockstar. Aint had one in 5 days now. If it is all nonsense I'm taking don't mind me. That situation I cant control and shouldn't be worried about it. What can I do but what I do? I just hope that one day we can let by gones be by gones and get it done on both sides.
We survived the PVP vs pVE wars, and got along decently fine. We survived the l33t vs non-leets and made it out ok, we even survived red side vs blue side and came out on top, even the pre-i13 pvp change supporters vs the posti13 pvp change supporters didn't stop us. Why are we letting action of NCSOFT split the community? Do I have to get out of my tree and catch a white dove?
I'll murder every single white dove if I have to if it means peace between the sides.
