Edit for clarification: This argument was never about, so far as I was concerned, understanding the technicalities or reasonings of what was happening, but rather whether the term nerf could be applied to this or mechanically similar situations.


I, too, like pedantic arguments about irrelevant points.

I too like to come into threads in which a conversation is going on that I'm not interested in and try to present my unsolicited apathetic words as a witty retort.

Actually no, I don't, nor do I get those who do, rather than read this looking for that quote why not close the thread once you see you aren't interested and just let the conversation go on without you? Can't a guy ask another guy why he came into a thread and told the posters that they were using a word wrong despite common usage suggesting otherwise

As this discussion has been going in circles since the first few pages, has also become a discussion on the various perceived discussion skills of the participants and on top of that would be reduced to only a handful of pages when all rule breaking posts and those quoting them would have to be removed, it gets a lock.

The Rules:
3. Ranting is prohibited.

A rant is a post that is often filled with angry and counterproductive comments. A free exchange of ideas is essential to building a strong sense of community and is helpful in development of the game and community. Rants are disruptive, and incite flaming and trolling. Please post your thoughts in a concise and clear manner while avoiding going off on rambling tangents.

4. Personal attacks are prohibited.

Commonly known as flaming, personal attacks are posts that are designed to personally berate or insult another forum user. Posts of this nature are not beneficial to the community spirit that CCP promote and as such they will not be tolerated.

26. Off-topic posting is prohibited.

Off-topic posting is permitted within reason, as sometimes a single comment may color or lighten the tone of discussion. However, excessive posting of off-topic remarks in an attempt to derail a thread may result in the thread being locked, or a forum warning being issued.
