As far as Nashtron "flame wars", the idea of not taking into account what people do on other websites is absurd. Granted, we shouldn't punish them as if they did it on here since that's not our jurisdiction...but a person's character is a person's character. People don't have seperate personas everywhere they go.

Queue mini rant/hypothetical story.

Let's say that you own a business, and employ a person part-time. They're a pretty good worker, never had a bad report under you. You're thinking about possibly promoting him, when you learn that another company they work for part-time just found out they were embezzling funds (or something to that effect.) Now you've never had anything but positive things from him at your business, under your jurisdication, and he asks you to forget everything about the other place because under you, he's always been loyal. Would you promote him, ignoring stuff he did somewhere else?

Of course not.

I'm not saying that the interweb hangouts we frequent are as important as businesses, nor am I saying anyone who did anything with Nashtron are bad people, in fact most of them are my friends. But they did do something a little bit silly, and perhaps stupid. And the only thing sillier is that multiple people say that what they did on the LMBs should have no bearing on whatever they do here, whatever their persona is, because it's a different site.
