Board Thread:Warhammer 40k General Discussion/@comment-24037808-20140924094901/@comment-6078851-20140927140326

in regards to the term 'good guys': see the thread entitled 'good and evil in 40k'. it's a fairly lengthy discussion about the subjectivity of morality. but the general consensus is that there are no straight-up good guys in 40k and as such every race falls more into being catagorised as who is 'least bad' (the tau came out on top there). the thing is that it doesn't take much reading to realise that the human empire is not good, morally speaking, it commits horrific atrocities on a daily basis. i'd recommend reading the good and evil thread.

@ neithan, feel free to correct someone if you know they're wrong but that doesn't give you a basis to insult them. doing so as you do makes you come across as arrogant and condescending with no patience towards newcomers (no offence, just saying how it seems to me). you yourself were a 40k newcomer at some point and how would you have felt if you voiced an opinion of something you didn't know much about just to be called a fool?

as mentioned i do tend to correct a lot, but i accept that many people may not know this, that, or the other (remember 40k is vast and i seriously doubt that anyone knows every single thing about it), or have outdated information, and as such when i correct i simply give information. i also accept that there's plenty i still don't know and almost assuredly i still have information that's now outdated and i havn't learned the 'new' info yet, and so i welcome being corrected with relevent information, as i assume you would - i wouldn't welcome being insulted though, would you?
