  1. I really don't know what to do. I've never been good at the personal side of running this thing. Leaving aside the fact that having to even ask the question is depressing: How can we make this place more open and friendly?

    1. @ceruleanspark Maybe think before you comment would be a good starting point. I'm willing to bet a lot of these people didn't aim to offend.

      1. @einhorn um, some might have but I can think of one or two who knew exactly what they were saying.

        1. @flamingpandaomg What upset them?

          1. @einhorn It was a whole thing about things the government was hiding from people. That kind of thing. They didn't care to hear about it so they completely shut him down and told him off.

            1. @flamingpandaomg Oh, that is a touchy subject, I suppose. Still, it doesn't justify being rude for asking questions. Nopony should feel bad for asking for opinions.

              1. @einhorn I wouldn't even call it asking questions, really. He was providing physical evidence that it was happening and they just didn't want to bother with thinking of a decent response.

                1. @flamingpandaomg What was the issue, if you don't mind me asking?

                  Wednesday, 14-Aug-13 20:56:42 UTC from web
                  1. @einhorn I don't remember the specifics besides it was things the government was hiding and not being truthful about, etc.

                    1. @flamingpandaomg Did it have to do with Snowden?

                      1. @einhorn Maybe? I wasn't paying 100% attention myself.

                        1. @flamingpandaomg I guess it doesn't really matter anyway. Just my curiosity. You guys know him better than I do though. Do you think he would stay away forever?

                          1. @einhorn That's the thing. I really don't know him very much. I've only spoken to him directly maybe twice. You'd have to ask @scoot or @ceruleanspark

                            Wednesday, 14-Aug-13 21:02:24 UTC from web
    2. @ceruleanspark These people being whoever ended up driving him away.

    3. @randomwonderbolt Maybe we could try some more activities, like a viewing party or play some games.

      1. @einhorn I am all in favour of ... Playing some Settlers of Catan while talking to eachother though headsets

        Wednesday, 14-Aug-13 20:54:12 UTC from web
        1. @critialcloudkicker That could be fun.

          Wednesday, 14-Aug-13 20:55:05 UTC from web
        2. @critialcloudkicker I'm terrible at it, but I'm willing to try if everyone is down!

          Wednesday, 14-Aug-13 20:55:37 UTC from web
        3. @critialcloudkicker I'm down for community gamenight.

          1. @commodorecrazycommanderofthe1stroyalbrigadeofspiceracksandcheese @einhorn Yay... Dibs on Pink :D

            1. @critialcloudkicker I don't have that game, but okay.

              1. @commodorecrazycommanderofthe1stroyalbrigadeofspiceracksandcheese Pretty sure you can find it online somewhere with a multiplayer aspect, for free

    4. @ceruleanspark I think this place is problem free. At least for me it has been.

      Wednesday, 14-Aug-13 20:53:34 UTC from web
    5. @ceruleanspark Only thing I can think of would be to more heavily keep a leash on the whole 'don't be rude to others' rule that doesn't get paid attention to 100% of the time.

    6. @pegasusjones You have? That's a shame, it's been pretty friendly here for me.
