The forums never forget.
but nobility still observes civilized protocol, easily forgives and forgets without the need to put someone's nose in it.

Originally posted by SJ247Lol, I am embarrassed to say that I have done this several times! Especially when I am so proud of myself for forking someones rooks with my knight only to realise as my finger releases the submit move key, that by moving my knight to this great position I have allowed my queen to be taken!
Even with both fists clenched, your most gutteral growl, and superhero mouse clicking, "Back" doesn't work after "Submit Move".

Remember that what you see often has a history behind it, so what may look one way is often a part of a package to those who've been around longer. Remember that the sum total of people's relationships with other members isn't limited to what you see on the general forum; some are friends in real life, some are friends through other web sites or games or PMs or clans or just for the heck of it. Remember that people often share beliefs and opinions and thus may react in similar ways to what someone says, but that's not the same as group-think; the whole notion of groups of people acting in concert is much more rare than what gets insinuated in the forums. Remember to form your own opinions.
