Where Is The Community?

from WinCustomize Forums
Just a note, sharing an opinion mind you. Where is the community of artists, art-lovers, skinners, etc? As of late, seems everyone has had a chip the size of Texas, sorry Wise Old Man,on their shoulders when it comes to people that have difficulty comprehending what this site is all about. Rather than politely inform "newbies" of how this site works, and pleasantly leave it at that.....all this arguing going on. What REAL purpose does it serve in the end? I can understand the frustration, am familiar with the feeling it was "all about the money" at one point in time, but then I DID subscribe, and I DID purchase OD after purchasing WB. Call me "fat, dumb and happy"! For someone interested in the software, and interested in skinning, and interested in customizing their desktops to read all this bantering would surely have been a big turn off to me, not knowing what I know now about this very creative, informative and sharing community. I would think twice about participating in these "no-win" threads which seem to "lure" fine people to the level of the "shit-disturbers"........

Thanks

I think, sometimes, people just have a real need to make a parting shot. And sometimes, when people argue what is a parting shot, it will be defended big time. It is, after all, a statement more of feeling than reason at that point. To argue the parting shot, then, becomes to argue with feelings. No body wins. There is a whole site devoted to parting shots, last statements.... http://www.sothere.com/about.php. It lets people come to terms with things internally, resolve some conflict, move on...

It is hard to say... I admire the way Boza is here contributing now. I wonder, did all the arguments help him make the decision to stay?

C-Rat....we do keep a watchful eye on behaviour here at Wincusto. Specific flaming, personal assault/insult and abusive behaviour is 'stepped on' quite efficiently.
By and large, we are all adults here...[the average MB poster's age is bordering on geriatric], and being a site 'for' the skinners it's reasonably appropriate that they be allowed to speak their mind about things that affect them and their craft, so, now and then things 'appear' somewhat more 'heated'.

99 times out of 100 it's all resolved without too much 'blood-shed'...

/me thinks clueless threads should be labelled as such and locked down. Expose the ignorant.

/me also things there is a nasty group thing going on here at time. The rage, the rage...

This thread has come full circle 3 or 4 times, and the arcs have never once touched! It just spirals merrily on. Someone with authority should specify an approved code of conduct for dealing with the DL cap devils, and related miscreants.
