Sus, don't take this the wrong way and I state this is only my personal opinion, but the cookie joke is getting very tired.
Personally, I'd rather see all the "cookie" threads that don't have anything to do with FFXI or Lakshmi be locked before threads like the one in question. This is the Final Fantasy XI Lakshmi boards, so threads like the Valdan one seem valid. We are allowed to praise the really good people on Lakshmi (see the sticky Whitelist), but cannot discuss the bad? Those people will come and argue their point, and those that feel slighted by them will argue their point. Everyone else can listen to both sides and come to their conclusions.
At the very least, it was serious converstaion / debate, even with the drama thrown in and made these boards actually interesting to visit.
Before you tell me again to stop making posts about cookies or that my cookie threads should be locked, why don't you stop making inane posts about your wife cheating on you when she hasn't, or about how you're yellow, or whatever other silly posts you've made in the past. I haven't once told you (before now) that your posts are irrelevant to the conversation. You know why? Because you're you and you have your own posting style. I don't agree with it part of the time, but I respect it. Heck, I've even joined in on the fun. This is a social forum because we're a community. We're not just the characters on the computer screen or the TV. Real life seeps into FFXI all the time.
If you're so tired of my cookie commentaries, then why don't you just avoid the forums? So much more simpler to remove yourself than to try to start drama over it. My cookie threads/responses are just me trying to lighten the mood. I'm sorry if you don't like cookies, but I do. If you haven't noticed, I bake cookies in real life. I suppose you wouldn't care because my cookie habits have absolutely nothing to do with FFXI and everything to do with real life.
What was wrong with the lolValdan thread was that instead of discussion about our infamous thief, we were discussing other players that had nothing to do with Valdan, which ultimately degraded down to flaming, he said/she said fights and insulting people's taste in clothing. Yes, we're Lakshmi and we're good at derailing, but I don't think it really helps anyone if they came to this forum for information about someone else. I will admit that it's ridiculousness was what made me laugh, but a serious discussion? Definitely not when it was locked.
