(This Is Not A Capper),
because I have a message for Fragbait, which is: don't leave. =)
I personally think you started out just fine, had a legitimate reason to post, and were polite in doing so. (I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt and assuming you didn't know that Jarulf has all but sworn he won't make a D2 Guide.) If things degenerated a bit from there, it doesn't mean they can't be returned to that level. For one, I think people were too quick to jump on you, and they read a bit too much into your posts. (You could help this situation by working on your grammar a bit; no offense intended!) A lot of us here remember the days on the DSF when 9 out of every 10 new posters were horrible @ssholes we couldn't *wait* to get rid of, and it seems some people haven't rid themselves of that automatic-hostile attitude. It's not needed here, because here we can ban the @ssholes if need be.
I for one would welcome you to the LL, but I doubt anyone here considers me a reg. ^_^ I'm more of a DSFer, but I do enjoy reading here because it's the only place I can catch quality Pete and Occhi posts (
not to mention Bolty, Jarulf, and other greats). ^_^ Besides, when I first started posting at the DSF, I remember getting tons of flames from people who (I felt) were misinterpreting me. I persevered, and look where I am today!...
...err, on second thoughts, maybe you should run while you still can!! ^_^; just kidding.
So stick around. You'll definitely learn a lot, and who knows, you might teach us something.
