We've all been a little stressed out lately, and we've seen some flame wars errupt here and there. Although I believe that flame wars are a healthy part of a forum board, one needs to remember not to take everything to heart. Quite often things are taken out of context because the reader cannot see the emotions of the other person, so something said as a joke can often be taken as a personal attack. We often take things as personal attacks againts us because we're usually in a bad mood with what is going on around us.


My idea is to dedicate this thread to just letting yourself loose, and saying(typing) anything that is annoying the **** out of you today....and hopefully it will help you cool down, and eliminate the stress and help you become more productive in the AO community. Some of you have seen me on the IRC channel rant on and on about how stupid some people are in the malls that I work at, but I've also noticed that I feel better after rant is over.


A few simple rules I wish you could please follow:

1. NO personal attacks againts anyone. You can alwasy PM the other person and tell them how you feel.

2. DON'T belittle anyone's post. Everyone gets ticked off by the silliest things. They do not need you to tell them that they're getting pissed over something stupid.

3. Lets keep this thread open. No Antipoint assignments please. If you feel the person deserves greenies...just give them those greenies in another post....same goes for negs (although I don't see why someone would get negged here)

4. Political rants are fine, but please, lets not try to convince the other person that their political party sucks and that they need to join yours .


5. Have fun, and hopefully we see something positive come out of this
