We Want to Know

Krillin, I was moreso attesting to the fact that it was so retarded for the two of you to be bantering back and forth over the issue of a grammar when that wasn't even what the thread was about.

This isn't some high-and-important forum here. This is the Asylum. People spam. If memory serves, there was no "spam off" sticker attached to the thread. How is our argument any less off-topic than if someone jumped in and said, "olo u guys r funi"?

If it had been two members, a staffer would have jumped in and said, "Hey, cut that out."

They would have? I wouldn't have. But whatever. Maybe some Staff member other than the ones I know would do what you describe.

Staff are held to a higher level than members. They should act like it.

And for the most part, we do. I just don't see how an argument over grammar that stayed entirely in the realm of logic, and did not have any huge personal attacks, is an issue.

Does that mean staff can't have fun? Of course not. Does it mean that it's a good idea for staff members to argue back and forth over grammar? Probably not. This is just my opinion, and my opinion involves me believing that being on staff holds a maturity that shouldn't be expected in regular members. Am I wrong in thinking that? Maybe, but then again, it's just my opinion.

Maturity and a grammar argument are not exactly related here.

Edit: I also want to clarify that my issue with the HF/Krillin argument was that I felt it was so meaningless in the first place. I'm not saying staff can't debate. There's just an appropriate way to doing so, as well as an unappropriate method.

And who is to say what is appropriate and inappropriate? Me and HF were being absolutely respectful about it, and we both ended on a good note, with good terms.
