It -is- a bit of a pain to run around to other boards, trumpeting how mature and intelligent our board is, and then come back to find three or four different threads where the level of discourse has, shall we say, become sub-par for what we're used to around here.

The internet is not a great medium for conversation. Subtext gets lost. Misunderstandings are common, even moreso than in day-to-day conversation where it's frequent to say the least. While not everyone can or will get along, it's not too difficult to remain civil and agree to disagree without resorting to name-calling or unnecessary aggravation.

Relax. It's just a game. Discussing it should maintain some of that in perspective. If we didn't have each other, who would we talk to about Dominions?
