Decent folk also fall into this - imo it's not possible for anyone to act "normally" in such an environment. We are all "posing" to some extent on these forums. Though I enjoy interacting here, I cannot consider these interactions real human friendships nor would I consider the content of my posts a very good representation of who I am despite efforts to be real and descriptive. The anonymity is a very powerful influence on all + when I hear these stories of some on other forums deliberately having different persona under different accounts it all becomes too muddled to expect any kind of truely honest interaction. This forum seems to walk a bit of a higher road which can hopefully continue.Yes this the nature of the net. Anonymous people, some of whom will say stuff that they wouldn’t dare say to your face. Unfortunately we are not all decent humans.
For me I look at from the perspective of I don't have that kind of time to invest in all of that drama. I can barely find the time to post here let alone post on other forums. I signed up over at TGP years ago and I might have 20 or 30 posts over their in the same timeframe I have over 10k posts here.It's all fun and games until Donnie B. shows up.
Sniff the sofa!Wow, grown men whining like jilted little school girls on a forum about... wait for it... another forum.

well just got another suspension , for saying that the NDSP owners seem a little more irritable sometimes , which frankly is the truth .
Have I Got A Place For You!™There is a reason they are irritable.....the QC has many software and hardware defects, and it's hard to keep defending a product that keeps bricking on people.
And before someone calls me a Fractal Fanboi - I have a QC sitting on my desk. Thankfully, mine has not bricked yet.
What were the grounds for the suspension? Unless Chuck Todd is a TGP member (in which case they could argue that you'd violated forum rules by directly criticizing another forum member) I fail to see how that is a ban worthy sentiment.I got a week-long suspension there a few months ago for saying (in a pub thread) that Chuck Todd has done a bad job of hosting Meet the Press. Fortunately, this caused me to rethink some life choices, and I haven't been back since.
I have no idea. It was enough to turn me off of participating there, though.What were the grounds for the suspension? Unless Chuck Todd is a TGP member (in which case they could argue that you'd violated forum rules by directly criticizing another forum member) I fail to see how that is a ban worthy sentiment.
My observation and comment stands regardless of the OP. The whole TGP vs. FAS forum vitriol has been a ridiculous exercise in childishness for many years now. Sadly, a sign of the times.
whose to say he is not already in thereIt's all fun and games until Donnie B. shows up.
lucky you that you were able to question it , they banned me and then they sent me the message explaining what the infraction was , which I could not read or reply to because I was freaking banned . brilliant systemTGP has sucked since going all corporate. They're ridiculously touchy about anything and everything that might cause a minor disturbance and hurt their bottom line ($). I've been posting on various iterations of that board for 20+ years, and one minor post had their top dog banning me and going full power-trip when I dared to even question it. There's still good content, just because of how many people post there, but I wish there was an alternative.

Hi, TGP.
What if your analysis and summation is not only deeply flawed, but also just plain wrong
OK we can add cognitive dissonance to the list. If you’re going to make an accusation then support it.You have no clue as to my understanding regardless of your demonstrated lack of logic.
