Turns out Avondell is a hero of the WWIIOL community, and though more acidic than any flameboy could ever be, was thoroughly worshipped. So, since I defended someone that had criticized the game, I was labeled by Avondell and his ilk (and people like you) as a flameboy. Didn't matter how reasonable I was, or how unreasonable fanboys could be, the labels stuck.
I defy anyone who was there at the time to prove me wrong.
Whoa...dejavu here.
Avondell IS a hero of that community and a self professed support "expert". He is nothing more than a second rate techie at best. I was trying to fly a plane and with some very minor stick moves I would pass out and crash. He gave me some advice on .kgm files that was a complete waste of time...in fact it made the situation worse.
Heaven forbid that you criticise him.
I later posted a thread entitled "Sorry Guys, but the Char is too strong" or something like that....what followed was a bunch of "Sorry but Curval is an idiot"...etc.. threads...not Avondell this time, but a whole pile of "fanboys". When I tried to ask what the heck was their problem one guy posted "Are you still here...why don't you just go away"....Fortunately I found Aces High the next day...and I never went back. CRS/Playnet lost a customer as a direct result of this frikin idiot.
"What really irks me about that whole thing is not how fools such as the one mentioned handled the situation; it was the fact CRS allowed it to continue. You can pretend fanboys were not abusive, but they were, and far worse than any critic could ever be. The mantras were:
1. Buy more RAM
2. Learn how to run a computer
3. Shut up and leave"
This hits the perverbial nail on the head!
