How is it a group of male adults let a single male adult get so far under their skin?
None of you would last a second with BiPoLaR. If you can deal with him you can deal with anyone.
You are making incorrect assumptions. At no point did he get under my skin. I tend to have great faith in people and when someone appears to be clueless I like to believe that it isn't the case and if you present something to them they will in the end get it. Sadly that doesn't always work
Comparing him to BiP is rediculous and frankly insulting to BiP. BiPs a good guy who in my experience cares about the game and the people in it. I don't recall him defining himself by a particular style of play. He doesn't suffer fools and will quickly call them out.
I'd fly with BiP anytime as he can separate his ego from the game and enjoy it for what it's worth.
