Why are the Goons in a Thread about The AFFS CoC?

I believe you are correct. However, not the way you would think.
After reading the last 35 pages of this thread (I want an hour of my life back btw) I believe the lesson to be learned here is how not to let ego blind you.
This thread started off as something constructive; the early stages of development of a Davion alliance. The early growing pains were there, as is to be expected. For example: questions such as "who should lead us?" and "Do we want a singular leader?" are very important questions for creating the foundation of a community. Later, questions became more in depth; such as "What do we know about this games political system?" and "How will what we have learned work with what we want our core values to be?" These are all very good, constructive questions for this thread.
However, It all seemed to have gone away around page three; or was it page five? Regardless, ego is to blame for the monstrosity this thread has become. Ego in thinking that one persons vision is better than the constuctive feedback being given.
Throughout this thread there is constructive comments offered; usually a couple comments per page. However, these comments are quickly burned in a hell-fire of flames because one person doesn't agree with them. Or worse yet, that this singular entity fails to even notice that constructive advice was being given because they are too wrapped up in the fury of a flame war.
This person has fallen prey to hubris, and let ego blind them from the thread's primary goal of establishing a cohesive politcal fighting force.
Members of House Davion, I beg of you to try again. Do not give up on your goals, and strive to create something great!
But more importantly, I ask you this: Try to create this organization using an open mind, mutual respect, and most of all, common decency.
