The end result is that wether you got kicked or did the kicking, you probably wouldn't carry on the SR persona too long due to constant injuries and eventually you would be barred from all the bars that you frequent ... and such is not the case in the virtual world of AH ... there is no consequence for people's actions in AH.
Go to a Con sometime ... pick the biggest meanest toughtest guy in the Con and fight him in the MA and if you lose, yell at him and carry on as you do when at home. Somehow I don't think that that will happen ... people act differently when in "person" ... they size up risks and act accordingly.
This IS the crux of the issue IMHO....while i think Mark does help folks out...he knows i feel it is blown out of the water by the fact he makes even more people have bad evenings because of his "personae"
Mark it is psycho (and i mean it in the medical sense) to be working under the narcissistic assumption that "ends justify a means"....and to pretend that your "personae" is separate from who you really are is the height of denial...it is at best an extension of who you are...
Also the bigger secret here is THIS IS A GAME...this is not a cause or a stage...this IS the same as playing pickup soccer or basketball and should be treated as such ... maybe you seriously have convinced yourself that this is dungeons and dragons but it is not...that goes back to the "psycho" thing....
you hide behind the fact that there is an anonymity to a cpid and that guys cant really respond to you in any emphatic way...that IS the height of cowardice and it completely DISRESPECTS any online community....
you are not the only person who does this....but you could have ended this thread a long time ago by telling vulcn "oops my bad...sorry" the most telling part of this thread was the beginning when you admitted you falsely accuse people of things to get certain responses...would you accept this from your own students?? would you encourage lying because it serves a selfish purpose? i doubt it....please consider what many here have takent the time to relate to you...manetmp really did a great transformation....and he has my respect...would be great for you to consider this..i hate to tell you but DA proficiency means nothing to most of us...how many of the great sticks made their name in the DA (zilch)....
