Let Us Treat This Like We Were A Family: Cover It In A Dark, Hidden Place, And Never Speak Of This Again

So, um, yeah, 400+ comments. Let’s look at some takeaways.

Things We Learned About Yon Humble Correspondent:

Things We Learned About Yon Prokofy Neva:

tl;dr personified.
Can actually post a comment without personal attacks. (mind you, it’s a rare and special event and should be treasured)
Usually doesn’t.
Most people, frustrated at Neva’s personal attacks in the past, resort to personal attacks in the present, which Neva uses as justification as even more personal attacks in the future.
- Thus, Prokofy Neva has established a timecube.

Things We Learned About Games and Virtual Worlds:

Users of games see virtual worlds as somewhat boring games.
Users of virtual worlds see games as somewhat shallow virtual worlds.
Both users tend to impose their grammar on the other, sometimes violently.
Both groups of users see the opposing group as a threat.
- Which, really, was the entire thrust of Prokofy Neva’s initial post: a virtual worlds user feeling threatened by a “game god” theorist.

Things You May Not Have Known About Yon Humble Blogger’s Comments Policy:

I really, really dislike censorship.
I will rarely, if ever, intervene in the cut and thrust of a good argument.
Sometimes I’ll break this policy to pour more oil on a fire.
Ironically, this may make this blog the one safe space on the Internet for Prokofy Neva to post in that she doesn’t own.
Incessant personal attacks (as seen on both sides of the previous post) may cause me to rethink this policy.
- But probably not, as it involves a lot of work, and I’m pretty lazy.
