uhhhh...well,...wow.
I guess the first thing I can take away from this as a reality check is not to post after imbibing large quantities of wobbly pops. (me, not you).
As to your post, I can't really fault you for any of it. There is some glaring truths hidden in there, and some personal attacks which in a way are understandable.
Let me respond to a few in a more sober state.
I'm not a liar, but I do call them as I see them at the time, for good or bad.
I do spend more time on the BBS than ingame. My poor work schedule.
I fully recognize my postings can be sharp. I agree with you here, and think maybe I will install a big "no drunken posting" sign on my keyboard after flying.
I freely admit I can be at times a real "ARSS HOLE.. " In general though, I really am the person you see in the arena and tend to treat everybody with respect. The flip side of that is, well, see the first sentence of this post.
"Don’t you have the decorum to give somebody the benefit of the doubt? " This hits home and I'll take it as a wake up call.
"You’re a dinosaur RTR..."
Yep. Guilty. You know, when you used to fly here all the time, and life and work then curtails you, the changes that happen in the dynamics of the arena seem drastic. You miss out on the gradual evolution and it appears to you that something is wrong.
As for the perception of score-whhorring, I agree it should never have been brought here by me. We still see that particular fight in a different way, but that again is an old-school perception on my part. I do see your side of it though and apologize for my poor reaction.
All in all, although written in anger your response to my post was a lot more constructive than you probably intended. I hope that Skuzzy does not delete any of this as there is some wisdom to be gleaned from it all.
Face to face?...lol, you are more likely to meet the RTR you see in the arena, not the drunken ARRS Hole posting at midnight.
You have my apology Raven. I owed it to you.
Flying AH and beer...good.
Posting and beer...bad.
RTR
