[quote=Kaga]Yes, no one really tried to start a fight (except maybe Gold), but most of us didn't exactly "offer to help" 8. We were annoyed, just not enough to tear him apart cuz the whole "wah Spam's not as good as it used to be" thing is so old and tiresome that it's just not worth it. But there's a big difference between that and "everyone being understanding and offering a helping hand".[/quote]

All the theorizing that there was something else at play is what made me say the "Understand and offering to help". Which in this case I think may have just been a cultural difference, normally when I see people dissecting a deeper issue/cause they are by extension offer some hand of support and aid to the person (unless if said dissected person is completely absent from the discussion), but with spam it seems to be just dissection and no extended offering of help as I'm used to seeing suggested elsewhere.

[quote=idlehands]Well two things. You're lightening rod for controversial topics, threads, etc. and you turn things into OT style debates. And 8 is just a snitty teenager. And Goldy is wonderful at verbal slaps.[/quote]

Good points, this makes sense.
I was just curious as to why such a difference in reactions.
