K - my last post was a bit negative. Let's go in here!!
Not singling you out, but because people might be taking the new stance on disruptive posting a little wrong:
You can be negative. That was fine because a) it was clearly a joke and b) you have a history of being able to discuss things with people and not just scream profanities, slurs, and buzzwords at them. As evidenced by the fact that you have multiple posts on this page quoting someone else.
That's all fine and you can be negative and annoyed at things. Even the Vladdy discussion above, which tends into one side being significantly concerned and down on him right now is fine because it's an actual discussion.
The only thing that the new moderating stance aims to get rid of is posters who are otherwise not here at all or rarely ever here except when they show up to scream about how awful everything is, how all the players are terrible, and how much it all sucks in belligerent, immature, aggressively annoying ways and then never actually engage anyone in a real discussion about it. That's the negativity that's bad. Not more rationalized, reasonable, or just open for examination takes.
So you don't need to apologize for that post at all.
Hell, the fact that you even
want to apologize is a significant point in your favor because the kind of stuff I pointed out as a problem almost universally comes from people who see absolutely nothing wrong with their behavior even as everyone else tells them to cool off a bit.
