That's always of the claim of one side against the other. The
moderators of r.f.g.misc said the same about any number of events and
people- and drove away even themselves with that mindset after all was
said and done.

Learn a simple fact. Those people who you agree with always sound good
and reasonable, those you don't always sound stupid and mean. Develop
the ability to see beyond that knee-jerk to understand what was
actually said. Learn this, or doom yourself to a reinforcing cycle of
ignorance.

This simple concept was the source of endless problems for r.g.f.a
back at it's height. The core group was completely unable to
understand how the Threefold impacted people who disagreed with it,
and how they were framing them in a insulting way with it's constant
use. They assumed (and I include myself here, at least at certain
points) that those disagreeing were trolls, stupid, or worse. And they
paid for this with endless flamewars that drowned out useful
exchanges.

Such power you grant me, I can recreate and destroy the group with a
snap of my figures- its mere existence depends upon my whim. My words
are so powerful they can shatter the egos of people unseen and
untouched, wrecking their very will and casting them into pits of
despair.

Give me a friggin' break and grow up. Not that I wouldn't like such
power, but I have nothing of the kind.
