Re: Mephisto
Religion and politics...it seems we must always talk about both at periodic intervals. I'm not saying this is a bad thing; the opposite actually. It helps us all re-evaluate our positions every once in a while, and prevents us from becoming set in our ways, and open to new thoughts and ideas.
What's the point of this? Well, I know the people who frequently visit the SEIV forum fairly well, and for the vast majority, I value their opinions. I do not know the entire Shrapnel Forum community in the same way. Therefore, if I start an OT thread in the SEIV forum, I am intending that thread to be read, and commented on by the patrons of the SEIV forum. I do not need or desire the opinions of the rest of the community.
Basically, if I wanted to know the opinion of all the forumers in the entire Forum, I would start a thread in the General forum. But really, we don't go overboard on the OT, therefore, what's the harm? It may not be SEIV related, and it definitely is Shrapnel's perogative to move, delete, etc threads, but in the end it would lead to a decline in forum traffic, and an overall blow to the SEIV community.
My opinion only, take it as you will.
