An appeal for moderation

[Occhidiangela]

I remember some of those times.  One was shortly after Blizzard put up a link to the LL on the Chaos Sanctuary.  I've been lurking for quite some time.  Just never really felt like I had much to contribute to the forums so I didn't post.  Yes, weeding out the chaff was a bit more necessary then precisely because there were so many new people who just assumed that the LL could be treated like the bnet forums.  And if you'll notice I did mention in my posts that the behavior of this community has improved/gone back to being less hostile otherwise I would have already been told to "bugger off", but not so succintly. ;)

Whether or not you choose to believe me, I have been around to see a lot of the changes the Lounge has gone through.  No, I haven't seen them all, but there are only a handful of people who can claim they've seen it all and not be lying.  It just feels like you're subtly trying to tell me I don't know what I'm talking about because you think I haven't been part of the lounge forever.  To me, both this post of yours and the first one in response to my post are just trying to get me to shut up.  "Pete knows, he can offer his opinion.  She doesn't know, she can't."  If I'm inferring something that you have not implied, my apologies.

Why would I want you to shut up? You tend to make sense. This is a conversation, not an attempt to end one.

From that post, you were more lurker than poster for a while. That can only re affirm your status as a lurker in good standing. ;) I am trying to answer up to the "GOL" versus "brand new" comments, but I don't think I am getting through.

I wonder if the tone I wrote that in is not the tone it came across in. That has happened before. I was not "here" when the concrete was new, nor have I seen it all. I was a player is some rather heated flame wars here. I also used to tell more jokes.
