Can't we all just get along?

Much to my chagrin, I have noticed an increasing number of posts with names like "Cleanup RAS" and "Go away, (fill in appropriate name)". You people are being big fat whiny-butts. So occasionally someone posts an off-topic message in an attempt at humor. Try to see the humor in everything. Also, kill your kill-files. So you don't like what someone has to say one day. To pass over everything else this person posts is absurd. So this Billy Yanno Zimbabwe kid likes to post flame bait. So what? When you reply angrily, this feller gets what he wants. Laugh at flame bait, and we will all live in a happy, joyous virtual world with tan pants and muffins. These "I hate so & so" and "So & so is in my killfile - ha ha" posts are getting old. In conclusion, let's all be tolerant and laugh a little and not let the man exploit you. Freedom to all, and to all a good night!

phhhht, welcome to my kill-file. (Just kidding) ;) Matt Myers --------------------------------------------- Expressing individualism is just plain wrong. Crow T. Robot

You're kill-filed for that... just kidding ;-) No the reason that everyone is getting so tired of all the stupid postings by Billy Yanno and the rest of the pre-school gang is because their postings are ruining the great friendly atmosphere that once used to be r.a.s. My idea of a fun r.a.s. is to come in and find out how to improve my lap times, maybe find out what the next Papyrus game is going to be, not to come on and see a bunch of fake postings and threads where people are calling each other fags and ***s. Sorry to be plain about it but that is alot of what has been going on here lately. Also the fake posts by these people have been directed at some of the online representatives of the companies that produce the sims, constructive criticism is one thing, but to flame and especially post fake information trying to make it appear as if the post came from one of these people not only hurts the readers of r.a.s. but also makes it so less representatives will bother to take the time and patience to come hang out on r.a.s. in the future. They really won't care much about what we have to say, nor about pleasing the diehard fans. The demise of the U.K. Pits is a good recent example of this. So, while you may choose to laugh at these things and consider them humourous you must also realize that not everyone will be so light hearted about it. And some people may even get their feelings hurt. Personally I am not willing to ruin my "fun" of reading r.a.s. because some childish idiot has a bit too much time on their hands and a free internet account, so my killfile will continue to grow as more idiots make themselves visible, and at least that will be a way to filter out the majority of them.
