one more thing to add.... (sigh)
I've got a CM tag on my name (insert trainer etc tag) so I DO represent HTC in a way, and I do have to adjust what I say and do in the game and on the BBS.
Trust me, w/o the CM tag, I would constantly be moderated in the MA and here on the BBS. I'm somewhat... how you say.... outspoken and I love a good fight, verbal or otherwise.
But alas, I have that CM tag, so I refrain from saying 'bout 90% of what I WANT to, due to how it might reflect on HTC. I can't count how many posts I have typed, and thought better of it and just not posted. Heck, I do that constantly.
Also understand that the trainers and CM's are volunteers. We don't get paid, and do what we do to try to give back to the community. You might not like what Ren said, but you have to afford him some measure of respect, as he gives his time freely to help better this game/community. The day you step up and give your time to help out, you have earned the right to be critical of 'em. Until then, maybe cut 'em some slack. What he does is most the time a thankless task.
It's not easy, and there are weeks it seems I spend more time working on special events that I do flying for fun. Heck, this week alone I spent over 15 hours helping out with two SnapShots, a KOTH, and the Sat. Scenario. Let alone all the behind the scene stuff I constantly have to do. (prob. closer to 20hours this week come to think of it) I've got 8 hours logged in the MA this tour so far.
all Trainers and CM's, past, present, and future. Y'all are a big part of what makes this game special.
