Whatever Ki's rationale is, fair or unfair, I don't think Urban's up to anything that is destroying the community. He rarely if ever posts. And to echo the sentiments of Adidasss awhile ago. At a certain point, the community needs to have standards. We can't have a garden party every time someone says they enjoy something.
People make ****ty posts. Most times they go by without comment. Sometimes someone says they're ****ty. Its not detrimental to the community. Not nearly as detrimental as allowing boring, pleasantries to dominate the boards.
You're supposed to come here to mix it up. You're supposed to post here because you've got an opinion. And when those opinions clash with other posters, you're supposed to go to battle. That what we're supposed to do. The idea that we should be ****ing nice to everyone so that when we meet up in the "Do you piss in the shower" thread we can all get a good chuckle is not only a new concept but a ****ty one. Its an artificial mechanism to make artificial friends.
The people I've met on here that I'd actually want to hang out with are the ones who's jugular I've gone for and lost.

Then I guess we're just different, Brennan. Had the community turned on Urban because he voiced an unpopular opinion, then I would've argued his case. I hate to see a community turn on one of its own just because that person expresses an unpopular opinion. And needless to say, I don't see the need to "go after the jugular" of someone who's already been berated by half of the active community already.
I discuss and argue here a lot, but I'm not a drama queen. When I appreciate discussions the most is when each side of the conflict can exchange views with respect instead of resorting to namecalling and other sorts of douchebaggery. I always felt the best communities are the ones that can nurture and sustain that sort of friendly and respectful environment. That's community standards to me.
