Re: [Audyssey] Moderator Let's Get Back on Topic
Hi. Whoops, I read a whole bunch of messages waiting to see if a moderator had closed the topic before I commented, but it looks like either I missed it or you closed it while I was writing my whopper. Apologies for that. Sent with Thunderbird 3.1.14 portable.

So with that said let's begin winding the thread down and get things back on topic here. There seems to be plenty of other subjects we could discuss that would be more constructive.

Re: [Audyssey] Moderator Let's Get Back on Topic
Hi Valiant, Well, just as long as you know the topic is closed now we are cool. I would have closed the topic much sooner, but I took the day off to watch movies with my family, go Christmas shopping, etc and didn't get back in until late. By the time I read my e-mail the topic had degenerated from a civil conversation to finger pointing and was quickly getting out of hand. So, yes, the topic is definitely officially closed for all who is concerned. Cheers! On 12/19/11, Valiant8086 valiant8...@lavabit.com wrote: Hi.

Re: [Audyssey] Moderator Let's Get Back on Topic
wandered when this was going to come up, but it was good to air the topic. As a closing to this I must congradulate the community at large for having a good debate without another war starting. Its not allways happened but more often than not, we have started fighting and that has never gone well. Having to respond to things coming thick and fast was a chalenge, email became its own game for a well so thanks all for a good chat.

I initially allowed the technology debate to continue as long as I have as I felt it would be helpful or instructive for gamers to here all sides of the issue. Especially, since upgrading from XP to Windows 7 and Windows 8 may have an effect on the future of accessible gaming. However, after having just read a bunch of e-mails where the same points of view were being repeted over and over again in a circular and unending argument without resolution its just time to agree to disagree and get back to gaming. Bottom line, weather you agree or disagree with where Microsoft is going with their Windows OS here isn't the proper place to debate the point. If you really want to be heard, to have a voice in what Microsoft does, then you have to pay to become a MSDN subscriber, sign up for Microsoft's Windows beta testing program, and speak directly to the Microsoft developers who are in a position to make changes in the next Windows OS. If you simply don't care to do that or have no desire to upgrade then don't. We do not need to have a long winded discussion on the issue, because right or wrong, good or bad, for better or worse, we have no control over the companies that produce our computers, write the software, and set market trends. Complaining about it serves no purpose that I can see. So let's give it a rest, and get back on topic. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Moderator Let's Get Back On Topic
Agreed, Thomas... let's get back to gaming... whatever definition that might have for people. I don't remember seeing this many messages on the list in a day for quite a while. lol. At 06:55 PM 28/02/2011, you wrote: Hi everyone, Ok, I think all of us, including me, have gotten too carried away with the games verses religion topic. Let us please stear things back on topic as I don't think everyone wants to read another hundred messages on this topic. However, before I go this is just a word of friendly advice from both your moderator and as a fellow lister. While all of us have different spiritual beliefs, different backgrounds, etc this list isn't the proper forum to really debate those issues. People have been discussing the nature of God and man, what is considered to be proper human behavior, etc for centuries and will continue long after you and I are gone. In the end all we can really do is leave it up to our personal judgment and do what we believe to be right in our own personal way. At the same time we should try and respect others with a different view, and not put them down for seeing their values, life style, etc differently. That is the only way we as a community will get along. Finally, remember that weather you do or do not play a certain type of game is in the end purely personal choice. If you do not like a certain product a developer creates you do not have to buy it, play it, or have anything to do with it. However, at the same time let's remember that others do enjoy it and we should not make an issue of their choices and we won't make an issue out of your personal choices either. If you really feel there aren't any games made to your liking or spiritual beliefs there are alternatives. Philip Bennefall has created a wonderful tool, BGT, that will allow a beginner to learn how to create and build games without being an ITT professional with years of programming skill and training behind him/her. I think that this is the best and most rational solution to the problem available.
