[QUOTE="Ninja-Hippo"]Yeah, the SWA wont be happening this year. I'd like to thank TREAL for his obviously antagonizing posts which kicked off all the drama in what was, until that point, a remarkably civil and friendly thread. "Just innocently reminiscing" - my ass. I'd also like to thank whoever was responsible for bringing up that 'you stole our podcast ideas!' crapola and those who allowed it to antagonize them. Keepin' it klassy. Finally i'd like to thank Subrosian for being a huge jerk, taking things way too far, and everyone who rose to his incredibly obvious flame bait. Truly, sterling work from all involved. ActicEdge
I have to say, while I'm disappointed, there were more people whom paticiapted properly than the idiots that destroyed it. If this is ever done again it should be zero discussion allowed, vote then GTFO and any post containing anything that isn't a vote is deleted. The thread creator is a mod who simply posts the organizers opening and is dedicated for that week to deleting all crap posts. This was a sad (yet incredibly funny) display. A mark on SW as a community where the best posters mad asshooles of themselves. (but it was funny to read) It was no "one" person's fault.
It was no one person's fault, but it simply wouldn't have happened if it were not for the antagonizing posts made by two or three people, and the two or three people who responded to them. Fact.EDIT: and just to be clear, i include myself in the latter group in relation to the first outbreak of 'drama'. I allowed myself to be infuriated and antagonized by what i was reading, and responded to express that. I shouldn't have. After the thread was locked and everyone was under clear guidance to just let it go however, there's really no excuse for a further THREE lockings after repeated reminders to just ignore the troll-bait and leave it be from myself, the mods, and others.
