That's the problem. People will get offended anyway. It'll be like "why don't you want to talk/play with me? What did I do?"
God, I'm cynical.
Running this site for years can make a guy that way, I would agree, just from what I saw in the time I hosted it.
I guess if someone's offended by me not letting them in, then my thought would be that they might have been *even more offended* if I had let them in, then vented my frustration for the day on them.
I guess that's why I don't expect to have flocks of Lurkers knocking on my door to play D3 with me, and expect more of Unrepentant and MWD to be around. They weren't there for the first couple post-heart-attack years when I wasn't a nice person to be around, so they don't hold those against me. Life goes on. Any of you who raided with me in Vanilla days on Stormrage probably know what I mean.
As far as public battletags, it's your choice. Bolty and Tal will be mobbed by people wanting to play with them, and I won't, so, it makes sense.
