Heated and judgemental language about anyone’s political views, of whatever stripe, is not okay here. It is inappropriate on a forum about gaming and is not on topic. If folk want to talk about that, there are other places on the intranet.
And it’s definitely not on when that language is used specifically in challenge to moderator requests to avoid it, and when there has already been a reminder that moderation guidance should be respected in thread and any comments or queries picked up by private message.
Teclis23 will therefore be taking a break.
And I take on board Black_Elk’s suggestion that perhaps we should close this thread and start a new one. Outbreaks like this of folk not adhering to standards for constructive, civil and respectful debate with others who have different perspectives can make the thread unpleasant as well as tedious to wade through. I’ve been unwilling to do that because there’s also lots of good debate here, but let us ponder that suggestion.
If, in the meantime, someone does start a new thread with a thoughtful, constructive and balanced comparison of the games now both are out, then that could help decide the issue!
"You may call it 'nonsense' if you like, but I've heard nonsense, compared with which that would be as sensible as a dictionary!"
