As I pointed out in my post, the players do this as well. Please reread what I wrote. I'm not asking you to argue with those you disagree with. Rather, I'm pointing out that it would be more beneficial to the pbase as a whole if you would be more selective in your "champions."
By not saying anything when they post childish personal attacks, you are tacitly encouraging this behavior from the playerbase. You are putting the rubber stamp on those posts saying "as a playerbase, we agree with everything this guy has posted."
As a side example, I consider myself a pretty staunch conservative, but I would take a rational discussion with a liberal 10 times out of 10 before I gave one thought to what Beck, O'Reilly and Limbaugh are saying. People like that are more into hearing their own bombast and vitriol (shouting down their opponent rather than discussing), rather than having a constructive discussion as to how to fix this country. According to them, anyone with the same attitude as them is right, while anyone who disagrees is a "sycophant."
The immstaff has explained more than once that they are not going to get into a shouting match. You want constructive discussion? Don't let those people be your champions.
