I've never been a fan of this sort of never ending one-upmanship thread, and I largely ignore them, but there's something I just have to say about the recent trend of chastising people for (debatably) not conforming to the stated purpose of the thread.
I'm sorry if too much of this comes out as an attack on you, artic, but you are a most convenient example at the moment. This applies to others, and I'd rather not spend the 15 minutes scouring the threads just to name names. You all know who you are.
There are at least 3 "take-backs" on this page of this thread alone which had less value than YoN's most recent post. What was it about his post that elicited the negative response? Frankly, if a person dares to chastise someone over not conforming to the stated purpose of a particular thread, that person should then be under an
obligation
to do so to all similar offenders, across the board, without prejudice. Either that or say nothing at all. Guess which one is my preference?
As far as artic and YoN go, I can't help but think this singling out is related to the similar tussle the two of you had in the "100 famepoints" thread just last week. Should you maybe take this up between yourselves in chat, or perhaps create a new thread, or get a couples counselor, or something?
