It's bad enough that a SC2 player insulting BW gets temped where as a BW player insulting SC2 gets no punishment but to have that same double standard trumpeted on the front page fostered a lot of ill-will towards the BW community. This is true but it also staunched the bleeding. You cannot deny that there are far fewer SC2vBW trolls or visa versa now then there were. Ignoring something doesn't make it go away and as painful as that thread was, I think it served a purpose. The double standard will always exist and fits nicely with the "respect veterans" theme of TL. The mods in general show great support for both games. I can't help but feel this is one of those issue that is blown way out of proportion everytime it is raised. PS if you read that FE, I wasn't so sanguine back then  | ||

But honestly the issue is going to continue as long as there is that double standard as it just builds up resentment towards the BW crowd here. Still it's okay I guess that the BW players are so bitter, I mean how couldn't they be jealous of what us SC2 fans are building. | ||

And it's a really awesome house of cards so far, just saying. | ||

Pot, kettle, spade? To be fair the number of poker players that tried BW suggests they have more experience with cards. Building or otherwise. Maybe we can contract out? | ||
