QFT, the only people I'd be careful about arguing with are IdrA and iNcoNtroL, because one could metaphorically tear my heart out through my eyes, and the other physically could. This is a public Internet forum, true posters say whatever the fuck they want. | ||

Barrin Plexa Be very afraid of: Mani Naz Got it! No seriously I've had similar thoughts as you after what if you were on staff? questions. I would have to curtail the blunt posts I make. Obviously not everyone takes that stance or at least has their own definition of toned down but it's something that's always nagged me. If I were you, could I post the same way I did before? The answer is probably not. On the other side of the quote in your post there is the idea that people are less likely to argue with a hammer. Yes and no. I can't deny some people would meekly excuse themselves if they found themselves on the opposite side of your argument but for the most part I'd like to believe that the only measure of respect given is the quality in the argument. A person is a lot less likely to make a redundant, half assed and venomous post towards someone on staff than they are another user. Or maybe I'm completely wrong on that one- I'm sure more than one banling would disagree but I still feel like it's easier in general to argue without grounds against a regular user over a banling. Oh yeah this was my conclusion. Slipped my mind cos I'm staring at skyrim and the NASL timer. TL Staff weren't drawn out of a hat. In a long discussion thread I'll skip over posts arguing with each other with some frequency because I naturally assume it's grounded closer to personal attacks than meritorious debate. That's my own bias. I read what staff right because they weren't accidentally selected as part of staff. If they were idiots I would know about it already or they wouldn't be on staff. So all and all, it's less based on fear for me and more based on an assumption that if you didn't know what the hell you were talking about then you probably wouldn't be adamant about your viewpoint. | ||

 This is like many things in life, such as promotions above your once peers as well. If you watch the new season of Dexter (I'll try not to spoil specifically) a character gets promoted to Lieutenant of the cops and finds out it is harder to have just everyday lunch break talks with those who were once of equal rank. Authority/power does that, I guess. | ||
