I decided to copy a few points I raised here on the Petopia forums about the character of Aggra, Thrall's new mate, and how I thought she's not the greatest character type to add to WoW lore, based on my studies of literary tropes and archtypes as an English major (hell, my education might as well come in handy for something). I got quite the positive, intelligent response here, so I rather naively thought the same would happen on the official WoW forums.
Boy was I wrong. I tried my very best to present my views in as academically as possible on an internet forum. I was prepared for trolls (and not the good kind, Mon), but not to this extent!
You can see the trainwreck here:

Now, I can't even post anything on the official forums. I re-read the terms of service, which, I must admit, I only skimmed at first. It seems that it's against the rules there to post to outside forums ... like this one.
I can understand not being allowed to post to things like porn sites, but another message board? Come on!
I guess I learned one lesson from this -- who has the much better message board, one that isn't against Freedom of Speech.
So, screw the official boards. I'm sticking with Petopia from now on!
Besides, the people here are so much nicer!
