Perhaps this is a few weeks/months too late, but below is an excellent read as to how we should conduct ourselves on these forums and just everywhere overall. People who play realism or action should not be treated as some kind of 2nd class gamer.
Thank You.

Rocket's Facts of Life No more "Go back to L4D" comments
I happen to really like L4D. When I was based in Singapore, I played it every weekend before going out clubbing. I had a blast. Was it what I wanted? No! But it was still fun. You could almost say L4D and Dead Island inspired this mod. So please, I appreciate the sentiment and I realize I at times have made "**** off back to WoW" comments, but we've probably reached saturation point with them, where they have become a cliche.
There are no CoD Kiddies
We are all CoD kidddies. CoD was a good game. Maybe you were so hip that you didn't buy it. But I don't think there is anything specifically wrong with it, I just don't think every game needs to be like it. Hence I am working on this. But again, it's become a cliche here. Lets try and think of something else to say and think a bit deeper before labeling people as CoD Kiddies.
ArmA2 Hipsters... deal with it
This bothers me, a lot. For years we have been lamenting the lack of attention that ArmA and BIS get, and how the focus is always on CoD. The minute it happens, some people get all precious. Some have embraced it, but others - quite frankly - have made me embarrassed to be part of that community.
The build is ****ed
Yes, we know. The build is always ****ed. If it is not ****ed, then I haven't pushed hard enough in this update. If I **** a build in Beta then you can rage all you want, but if you rage now and tell me I burned your $30 I'm just going to roll my eyes and google for meme's. This is what hotfixes are for, I do the hotfixes until the build is where I wanted it to be. Then we test it. If we like it, we keep it, if not, we revert. That's how it has worked and that is why we are here where we are.
What you say matters
I get a lot of inspiration from the forums. Huge amounts. I dedicate about 6 hours a day to reading not just these forums, but neogaf, facepunch, project reality, 4chan, reddit, tkc, unknowncheats, you name it. I read because I want to engage with you and get a feeling of the emotions running through people and how they see things, rightly or wrongly.
There is only one vision
Having said that, I'm mindful that there is only one compass which can help me keep track of the direction - and that is my own internal one. So while my inspiration comes from you guys, the decisions come from me. Some of the best elements of the mod so far, have been ones that every single person I talked to told me was a bad idea. Please keep that in mind. Have a little faith in the process.
Don't eat each other alive
Many of the discussions go like this:
Man1: "I hate this new feature"
Man2: "I love this new feature"
Man1: "You're such a fanboy"
Man2: "You're a CoD Kiddie, go back to WoW"
Man1: "**** you"
Man2: "I hope you get cancer"
Really? Really? I mean, is that necessary? I troll, I make sarcastic remarks, but the way you guys treat each other is far worse. Chill out a bit and try and have some decent discussions. There has been some great ones, so lets all try and keep a level head (myself included).
Thank You.
