Holiday Spirit

[Multani]

It's Christmas (Almost). You'd expect everyone to be happy, jolly, relaxed. But noooooo......

Parents are shopping for presents at a furious pace.
Students are frantic in studying for Finals.

And worst of all...that kind of attitude -one of frustration and intolerence- is slowly creeping into the CPA.

I think that people are too quick to judge.
Ex: Some new member post thier welcome. True, it's not the average hello, but it's still appropriate.
Member A (I will not name names.) jumps in and tells Ed and Zadok to close the thread and get their banning finger ready...

Since when did the CPA get so cutthroat?????!!!
I know that back when I was a newbie, everyone was polite and kind.

Today, newbies are always pounded with silliness, and insincerety.
Besides, it's Christmas. I think we should be more lenient on others. If a spammer is posting useless stuff, then tell him nicely to stop and do your best to keep your temper in check.

I'm hoping the CPA will become a little more relaxed...if only just for the holiday season..

I appreciate all the members who try to be relaxed but still relatively mature.

Preach on, brother! Peace to all!

Granted, though, that little New Member post was both "arrogant" and "poorly written" and generally sums up the average negative reaction to the Internet that comes to my mind anytime I look at mtgnews.

BUT, it's not enough to Ban a New Member on the strength of that.

1. It could be a joke.

2. It's just mildly annoying, not deeply offensive.

3. Blah! Double Blah!

On the basis of those three points, especially number 3, I'm right.

I'm sorry about getting pissed at 2good4u, ut it annoys me when people do that...

Lol at Ed...

You're right, Multani. Peace on earth! Good will towards men (and birds and trees and hamsters)! I think we could all stand to be a little less psycho to new members.

OUCH!!!

Apollo, you forgot rats. They are way more important then hamster. They have more meat on them just in case you get hungry and swoop one up.

That's an excellent point, Nodnarb. Good will towards Rats, too! As a show of this good will, I will refrain from going to Taco Bell for some rat meat this holiday season.

I got a slight laugh out of those "new member" posts...

I might not have replied to them if I was here when they were first posted, but reading them later was kinda funny...
