Let me explain for you why, Danny. I could be friendly to you all the time, and even let you point out where I'm wrong on things (if I am) or where you disagree all you want. But that requires too much patience as things are right now. I am not, unfortunately, a patient person. You flame me with *every* post I make, and accuse me of ripping off things without seeing whether I did or not, like the post I "ripped off" from DakkaDakka that I had posted to DD myself, or the Squat codex that is totally unlike any other out there (including the one my father did). You call my smallish answers to some questions about the SOB a "rehash of the SOB army list rules" when all I did was give small answers; you referred to it like it was a tactica, which it definitely wasn't. You don't explain what you disagree with in my tactics, you just say they're crap. Others tell me what's wrong in a calm way and I talk about why I said what I did, and sometimes I end up agreeing with the person who's telling me what I said was wrong. But you don't want to talk things through. You just flame. If you ever stopped flaming me, I'd like to talk about the games to you without any stupid flaming from me. If you want to admit that in the past couple of years I have acted, well too often, like a total dickhead, then that's fine with me. I admit, I've acted like a total arse (and I will *again* to the next person who tells me that's an incorrect way to spell it!). I've done stupid things. I haven't done a lot of the things you think I have, and I'm willing to believe you haven't done some of the things I've accused you of; neither of us lying, just misled by our own hostility toward each other and people playing us off using IP spoofers and junk like that, sort of like Jimi's placement of Rob Singers'(?) IP on a spam mail to try to get him in trouble. I didn't hack Coony's site, but since someone probably felt like doing it because of my argument with Coony, I feel responsible, which is why I tried to help him afterward. I never messed up UGW, but since I was involved in a few of the flame wars in which others screwed up UGW, I feel a bit responsible for those mess ups (including the one Big Al did, or at least attempted). It bugs me that those things happened. But I can't change the past, and neither can you. Arguing about it won't do a bloody thing. I don't want you to say you're sorry, 'fess up to anything, or any of that. Just lay off, and I won't flame you at all, or do anything like that. Simple. -Erik
