Hi guys,
Thanks for the replies. I don't want you to think either that I or my friend are overly sensitive about that stuff. You know wherever you go you will run into those kind of people. The part that stinks is that this guy played other online games (strategy - like red alert) a few years back and had to deal with a younger immature crowd to saw the least. His choice, like mine was that it was less than enjoyable to play those type games online and be able to relax and focus on the fun of it with so many jerks hiding behind the online bad boy thing.
I convinced him that AH was so much of an older more mature crowd, yaddie yaddie and talked him into giving it a shot only to get PMs and channel 200 insults on the first sortie. Made a liar out of me and made him not want to get involved. Not like he was that mad, he just shook his head and walked off telling me he told me so. I had to just bail out of my Mossie and go have a beer. No big deal, just sucks it worked out like that. Again thanks for your input and a big to all.
Higgins
