@Thenomain NO, YOU CAN KEEP YOUR +1.

As far as that other thread goes, I don't have an actual complaint per se, but was more tying in that experience into the greater topic at hand. I read back through it a few days ago because someone +1'd a post of mine after 5+ months, and at some point every now and then someone posts something like: Well, I'm not going to post an apology for something NOW, seeing how people are dogpiling on people trying to follow the spirit of the thread"

I think some of the more constructive threads follow this format:

  • Constructive topic! Let's be constructive.
  • Someone posts in spirit of topic
  • Someone corrects poster
  • Poster retorts
  • Dogpile begins
  • Ten posts arguing semantics
  • People shy away from posting about constructive topic
  • Personal attacks
  • What were we talking about again?
  • Attempt to re-rail topic happens
  • Someone corrects poster
  • Poster retorts
  • Dogpile begins
  • Ten posts arguing semantics
  • People shy away from posting about constructive topic
  • Personal attacks
  • What were we talking about again?
  • Attempt to re-rail topic happens
  • Repeat...
