Sorry, I used the same reply here for those NAG haters over at mybroadband.co.za. I should have left the last line out for this forum. I certainly feel the love here...

Don't worry dude, just remember the golden rule... "It's only gay if you make eye contact"
Thanks for the reply Redtide. And please, don't feel that you are in "hostile territory".
Sure we may have some lippy forumites, but thats just the Internetz for you.
I can't see the issue here. If two people haggle over something on the internet it will only be natural that at one stage somebody is going to say GFY or WTF? The internet works that way and I don't see any need for anybody to apologise about that.
We are too politically correct.
I like NAG BTW.

What Tinman said.
There will always be someone taking things out of proportion... but I do find it interesting that the OP only posted twice on this site. Both were to flame you. Troll or upset customer venting the wrong way? You decide.
My apologies referring to only buying NAG once, I think the mag i bought with fifa2006 might've been GEAR.
Did anyone of you actually go and read that forum ?
I took the time to do so over the weekend and decided that if said forum is the official forum for NAG, NAG gan go nag someone else to buy their Mag, I'll read SACM instead then tyvm.
I read it Staalbal, and I agreed that the comment was out of line.
However, Im not sure if its reason enough to trash an entire publication.
BTW, SACM = NAG.
Same journos, same office etc. And the offending Mod actually writes a column for SACM every month.
I know and that is exactly my point
Do you see a SACM forum where the population on there is swearing away, mods swearing at forumites. Seriously, I for one don't mind foul language what so ever. But to have that on a forum being linked directly to your publication is a massive no-no. NAG as it is, is being directly linked to that forum which is very sad.
SACM is the mature side of the publication.

NAG is a great mag in my humble opinion, but sure, you will always get the different strokes for different folks kinda thing.
Personally I love the letters to the editor, and the replies the editor makes as well as the reviews, which has saved me the trouble and the money of buying a game that looks great, but which has no real content in.
The online forum world is a jungle, and should be treated with caution. First read around the forum, see if you like the vibe and what it is about, then if you do get as far as to create an account try and avoid conflict causing situations, even trolls.
I like a good online tuff every now and again, but nothing that climbs into the character of the other person, and personally I wouldn't want to micro-manage a forum for swearing, because as someone stated on the NAG forum, frak you can also mean phuck your or fuck you :P
I agree fully.
The thing that seems to be lacking on above mentioned forum is the lack of respect for other forumites. The worst of it coming from the Mods. But they have their own little crowd and followers so I wish them well. At least now we have a decent gaming forum
Just hope those posters on there actually know how to behave themselves in a more formal/less lose forum
