Forum Wars

War is such a deep word I guess for the recent controversy in PEX, but since I want to exaggerate, then war it is. :D

Disagreements and arguments and rudeness in forums is not new to me. I have started joining forums since February 2003 and stayed in the first forum for almost four years I think. While I was in the said forum, I have lost count of the times when Flamers would come to the board and hurl accusations right and left at the regular members there.

At first, I was one of the 'defenders' of the forum despite my bad experience on it. But after a long time, i finally saw the truth and realized and accepted the reality that some of the pioneer members of the forum were indeed bitches. So I turned tail and left, created another forum with some of my friends in that forum and now, we are happy in our forum, though yes, we do have disagreements and arguments every now and then.

I just started PEXing last May (and was inactive the second half of May and the whole June coz i was on vacation and was making the most of it). Just a few days ago, someone just came out of the blue and challenged the BAOS royalties, and even called all the members of the board names.

Usually, I steer clear of trouble, especially if it doesn't concern me, but this time I was not able to stop myself. She claimed she's someone new, and her introductory post was asking the difference between KW and KGBAOs. And then she exploded when Crookshank_7 jokingly welcomed "Ania" to the christian world.

She then berated those she called "Royalties" for what they've done, challenged them to show themselves in pictures, and repeatedly asked us new members to look back and see the true colors of the BAOs. And as expected, things heated up, forcing some of the members to speak up and defend themselves.

Most however, chose to ignore her and instead, decided to show her how educated they were by showcasing their English speaking prowess. ROTFLMAO!

Seriously, I commend the BAOS for not stooping down towards the level of that flamer. :D
