Like minded in the sense of selfishly throwing many threads into slides over the course of many months disregarding the many other people who use the forum?
After repeated attempts to reign in such behavior?
If it was this one thread, that would be one thing. It isnāt.
If it was the occasional funny side quip with a couple other side quips and then back on topic, that would be one thing.
But it isnāt.
A fun side joke turns into 10+ posts of completely off topic conversation with someone usually trying to be funny and instead being insulting which leads to another 10 posts addressing that thing. Case in point, this thread.
As far as forgiveness goesā¦
When people make amends and show theyāve actually changed in action not just word, than full forgiveness can be given.
Until then, itās just an exercise in making the perpetrator feel less guilty about their actions.
So instead of me getting to be funny gif posting _OM, I have to play āmean bad personā for the good of everyone else on the forum.
I daresay thereās a balance for having fun and staying on topic but not sure itās possible to achieve unless others want to be truly aware of when a side joke/topic needs to end instead of people feeling the need to add their slightly funny, definitely off topic post at every opportunity.
