Don't be an ass, Francis

So. I've said this before. It kinda pisses me off to have to say it again. 

 

So, as many people have pointed out, the SP and MP communities do not always get along, to put it mildly. And lately, there seems to have been much, much more of this. Personally, I think that this is because of a lack of balance with certain areas, and people being grumpy about this. Yes, I understand if you were one of us Beta chaps and saw the imbalance for a while, and it hasn't been fixed yet. But that isn't a reason to act like an asshole towards the other people on the forums. Yes, they might not know what they're talking about. They might be annoying in how they say it. But that doesn't mean that you should be annoying back. 

Seriously, we have a lot of new players entering the forums, and the first things they see are a bunch of more experienced guys shouting at each other and calling each other nazi's. I'm curious. How does this help the game? How does this welcome people to the forums? How does this make us enjoy the forums? How will will we play ICO matches if we all think that everyone everyone? How will this look to someone who's considering buying the game?

 

I await answers. And probably trolls as well. Oh well.

Correction: Mecha called the devs Nazi's...I do believe other players were referred to as asshats, retards, or derivates/synonyms thereof...it is important we get these titles correct as they are very indicative...wouldn't want new guys getting the wrong impressions...

As for the source of the conflict, I shall defer to greater wisdom...
