I like controversy though.
Controversy is ok, I just don't like the butthurt and people getting mad at other people's opinions that comes with it.
I feel like some people here treat other members as if they're idiots sometimes sigh it's not really necessary.
Time was as long as you'd have the balls and the skill to make and maintain a valid point, you could at least hold your own. Hell, I've made some points in my time which with the benefit of hindsight, utterly horrify me.
Honestly, I never think that C3 truly recovered from the Martin/Oldschool battle. Between that and the amount of sub-par users that joined in the friend-code rush, the game changed entirely. Suddenly an opinion, no matter how valid, well spoken or put together was invalid or at least appeared to be if it deviated from the herd, and insults and mudslinging was assumed to be an apt replacement.
It wasn't.
That kinda killed it for me. It was like watching American politics in action. A lot was written down but not very much was actually said. Just a load of vacuous remarks and what seemed to be a worrying tendency towards a default opinion as opposed to individual ideas. And there was much animosity between the new and the old. Being decidedly in the elder camp, I bailed. I joined the E3 irc chat, because it's a good laugh, but otherwise absent. This time I'm back due to a PM from Jacob4000, go figure.
Anyway, users I miss.
AmazingJanet/Modplan Man (Cool guy and a linux user to boot)
Frazzle.d (He's on here occasionally, and I keep bumping into him in town.)
Others as I think of them.
