I take issue with you saying that they are 'openly ridiculing' their opponents. I agree that they are ridiculing them and sometimes a bit too rudely for my taste, but none of the other players have read these remarks, and will not until their game is over.I wrote "openly" for two reasons: 1) The other players *will* read the thread after the game, and 2) we lurkers read the thread now, and I generally find it rude to call other people names, especially when they are not (yet) present.
Quote:If they were ridiculing and insulting other players through their diplomacy or the public player thread then I would agree that it is out of order. But as of yet, they are not.If I ridicule you, is it less rude if you only hear about it in six months?
Quote:In my opinion, this is the worst thing any lurker can do - going into a team's thread and openly criticising them for something you do not like.I agree if it's something about the game you do not like. I strongly disagree if it's about personal behavior.
Quote:Yes, you have an issue with their choice of language and opinions, but their thread is NOT the place to discuss it. Say it here or nowhere.That's exactly what I should *not* do. Attacking them on a personal level only here, where they cannot (yet) defend themselves? *That* is rude in my opinion, and exactly what they are doing and what I take issue with.
