RP nitpick of the day

[Baltar]

Apologies, Baltar, but Hawkings raises a fine point that really shouldn't be ignored. It is more than relevant to the conversation, and is in fact that root of what we're trying to address.

The problem isn't that some people are rude to the police, but that almost everyone is rude to the police. Really, most people shouldn't be. At least where I live most people aren't. I shouldn't get into an argument by simply saying "Hello, NAME, you're all clean by my scanners. I hope your stay in Bretonia is friendly." That is the kind of thing I think we're addressing.

Really, it roots from a different problem. There are too many wolves and not enough sheep on the server, to put it bluntly. Not everyone has an extensive backstory. Some of us are just shippers who act like it. Really, I'd like to see more normal people and less veterans. I know it's boring since you can easily be a normal person in real life, but, hey, you can't be a normal person in space. ;)

He may have a point ... but he needs to at least give me the courtesy of a reply to him before he goes jumping on my case claiming I haven't read his post. Just because I don't respond to him doesn't mean I haven't read his post. And the majority of my discussion in this thread has been with Hack. He had no business jumping on me like that.

My complaint to Hawkings is not WHAT he said ... but rather the WAY he jumped into the discussion. Don't go saying "you obviously haven't read my post" when neither of us have spoken to one another. His post was not specifically directed to me ... was it? How did I know he was speaking specifically to me? There's no "@ Baltar" in front of his post ... so don't go assuming I knew you were speaking to me and expected a response. Next time ... make it clear you're talking to me and not the general public.
