If you weren't fooled by someone's post, good. That means they weren't trying to prank you, they were trying to prank someone who would fall for it.There's no reason to call people out for making April Fool's threads unless someone who's buying into it starts to get bent out of shape.It's a holiday. If you don't have the holiday spirit, at least don't ruin it for others. I mean, come on. Do you run around on Christmas posting how Santa Claus isn't real either?

not sure what this post is trying to achieve rather than ruining another holiday for other people... this post is worse than want your posting about.

If you tell other people about Santa, then really you should be the one being called out. What people believe is what people believe. Whether it is arguing over the meaning of the winter solstice, or telling people a post is a prank when no one has gotten bent out of shape being fooled by it, one way or another you are attempting to ruin a holiday for people.

Have a little holiday spirit, and let people enjoy their holidays. Keep your opinions about pranks and Santa to yourselves.

Sometimes the truth, whatever it may be, is best left unknown. Ignorance is bliss. Holidays are supposed to be happy times. Don't ruin them by trying to dispel ignorance.

Care to explain your statement? I am comparing what people are doing to this Holiday to what people do to another holiday. Most people like the winter holiday, but this one seems to have a lot of hate. By forcing people to contrast a holiday they enjoy with this one they don't, some eyes may be opened.

It is not the same as me saying that Santa or other winter solstice figures aren't real, if that's what you are driving at.

I'd hardly call April fools day a holiday

I would say this post is directed at you guys then.

Just because it isn't your favorite holiday, doesn't make it not a holiday.
If it's on the Calendar, it's a holiday.

it's much worse to come on here and say thst Santa isn't real than for people to ruin someone's post of a pretend minor game change... think of the audience you have on a forum for games... young kids...

so essentially what I am saying is... ruining Christmas is far worse than ruining April fools day.

That is a statement that is opinion only. Clowns and stand up comics might find April Fool's Day far more important than Christmas.

I see what you are saying, but I made no spoilers. I told other people not to and gave them an example of how doing so is bad.
