Chrest;
The OP did not acknowledge that anyone acknowledged that any of his points had any merit. He was not interested in debate or advocating a position. If he was at all interested in debate, he may have stuck around long enough to see the auto-heal mod released.
I did not attack the OP's intelligence. See above.
I did not strawman the OP's position. I didn't even attempt to summarize his position, let alone misrepresent it in order to make a point.
If the OP had given any indication there was any chance it would have made a difference, I would have gone into more detail with my replies. The OP was not interested in the master level group healing spell, and would very likely not have cared if I had mentioned the adept level spell or mods that included full heal items that can be used outside of combat, etc.
There is a difference between no consequences for doing poorly in combat and not much, especially when it takes a while to get to a point where it is not much.
I at no point tried to claim the OP thought anything about the value of penalties for doing poorly in combat. However, since he thinks anyone who finds value in such penalties are "god damn morons" it would be safe to assume that he does, in fact, think such penalties are moronic.
I never made that claim, though, and do not know what you are referring to. Also, I'm not sure you know what a strawman argument is, or you are using it in a context I am not familiar with.
If the OP is arguing that not having auto-heal is moronic, then, yes, it is absolutely relevant to bring up the fact that there are people who like and value that type of design.
RPS and auto-healing are not the same principle. See above.
You can not say that if you skip ties in RPS, you must automate everything else in the game that it is possible to automate, because it is all the same thing.
People have emailed support who were afraid to post in the forums when certain debates were going on. Allowing someone to continuously post abuse and never even mention it is not great for the forum. If someone is calling other people stupid and their own behaviour isn't exactly making them look very intelligent, pointing that out is a warning, not meant to convince anyone that they are stupid. I have made such comments about 2 or 3 times in the history of the forum.
Waltc, FireWatcher;
Thank you.

Most people are fine even if they have a complaint.
Even in the 90's there were flame wars going on in newsgroups (found a bunch around 96/97, searching DejaNews for opinions on whether IDE or SCSI hard drives were better), and (I'm pretty sure) bulletin boards before that.
