Off-topic time, but this list has already gotten enough bashing, beating, and forum abuse that it hardly matters anymore...

Your list of things demanding me to consider are absolutely off-topic, and lacking in the substance to even pertain to my core concern. You're giving people too much credit to sway your own arguement. Unfortunately, people don't work as a whole, they're individuals.
For someone with an apparent history of forensics, you don't demonstrate much mastery of the English language. Why would I need to sway my argument? If anything, I need to sway *you* toward my argument. I still can't quite discern what you're trying to say here.
I fail to see how giving anyone credit (be it sufficient or excessive) is changing anything. I said that our system works because, for our small group, the list works within the constraints I mentioned above. Your statement seems to indicate that you have a rather dim world-view of people in general, and think that someone is going to see this list and go running about Vana'diel /shouting "Hey everybody! Here's the official Bismarck blacklist! Update your /blists now!" when that's simply not feasible, nor is it accurate. Would you listen to someone doing that and /blist people? Heck no.

Consider that now that my questions have been answered, I don't care. I asked nicely for friends to be taken off of a grudge list, and it was politely denied. I replied to defend my opinions, and ideas. So what's left? Nothing. I'm off to this good players thread as suggested. I feel really bad about posting off-topic, but my own crazy egomania keeps 'me fingers a'tappin'.
Yeah, apparently it is. Y'know, I posted that to try to make you feel better about things, and to be nice, but you just decided to blast me. So ***** you.

I honestly apologize for bringing this off-topic, but it just doesn't seem fair :\ I'm not nearly as passionate about this as I'm coming off to be, that's just years of debate talking, hehe.
That doesn't sound like much of a karma dictating travesty.
Now, see, that doesn't even make any sense. Are you saying that your statement was not accusing this list of being a karma-dictating travesty? Because if that's what you were saying, then your quotes are quite misplaced, and even so, I think you're blowing this way out of proportion compared to how you seem to be illustrating *me* blowing it out of proportion.
This is a network of trust we're building here. I trust my friends' decisions and accounts of bad players. If I don't know some of the people making claims here, then I'm less likely to give credence to their stories.
Anyway, you either think the list sucks, or you just don't like seeing your friends on it. If it's Option A, then take some positive action and help us craft a better system. If it's Option B, then DEAL WITH IT.
