What gives both of you the right to say something like that? It's HT's company, and guess what, he can do what ever he want's with his time. If part of it is spent helping out the community forums, then that is where his time goes.

Jez, next you'll be asking how much time he spends on the toilet and wondering why he takes 15 minutes a day in the can instead of kissing your butts all day.

I've been working with thankless community guys like this for over seven years. It's hard work to please the vocal minority.  We got maybe 50 guys posting here daily and we have a knack to make Dale think the sky is falling for hundreds of HTC customers.

Bad community. Baaaad community.

Peace brother :) I think deman was refering to people like me, who do not adminster or own the company, manage to post so much to the board, despite not having the valid reasons of company ownership and administration. He's way right in my case. I spend way too much time here.

As a member of another group with some loud and vigorous players I can understand.

Too bad you have to waste your time doing this as opposed to working on the game.

HT, Please do not get to drawn into the BS of the community.  You and your staff have a Great game.  Kesmai used to get drawn into this all the time.  Look what happened to them.
  Assign a trusted member, or  members of the Community to do this policing of the boards.  Explain your gouls, make compensation equal to the task and you will have no trouble finding good Honest people to lighten this burden.

Right, HiTech, I've been thinking to take this elsewhere if he chose to respond.

But... "nothing related to what he said"... I don't understand where you draw this from...

ok dutchman, take what elsewhere and how do you want me to respond?
Ask Shane if i apologise in Private. He'll tell you that on more than one occasion i have apologised to him for things i have said and then thought "that was too much".

I wont apologise to you because when you attack u get personal and it shows the level of intelligence you have.

but like i said, what you want from me? if i can accomodate you i will.

HT dont worry about personal attacks on me mate, i`m big enough and ugly enough to look after myself, although i appreciate it  :)

Hammy, you are mistaken. You did say something offensive to me online in the MA which you have dismissed my claims then.  What I am saying here is if you would like a discussion on that matter, I will explain where I am coming from.  

I have never claimed anything about your intelligence, which you do about mine here.  This is uncalled for don't you think?  This is the type of thing what Hitech would like to avoid here.  Please refrain from this type of comments, because I am trying to be polite as well.

Btw, if you remember what you said to me online, and would like to discuss it, then email me at gag01475@nifty.ne.jp

People who thread flame just for the sake of sounding off are the same people who treat a waiter like crap.  Why?  Because the can.  Stupid is as stupid does.  However, never enrage the people who handle your food.  That's just common sense.  How does this relate to the BBS?  I have no idea, but there's a parallel there some where....

More to the point, the anonynimity of BBS' bring out the jackhole in some people.  Opinions(another word for oscarhole) tend to rise to the surface pretty easily.  Best to turn away and breath some fresher air from somewhere else for a moment and let it pass.

Hmm, my own post smacks of opinion....  Not to worry, my schiznat don't stink. ;)

YA know its a shame that someone new can ask a totally stupid question out of not knowing the game,no fault of theres and the Hard core group will bust on them like baby seals.Kinda bad for the game.Bad for the community,and bad for the games rep.This place has turned into a divided community.You have those that will stir trouble,those that try to hold it back and those that everytime HT posts someone is rideing roughshod over someone and outta line that all line up to say WTFG HT when alot of times its the same people causeing the crap that congrad HT first.Go back and look at the clamp down thread.The usual suspects all jumped on that like flies of crap.All going WTG HT.People just trying this game out deserve at least a chance to get there feet before some of you Ace holier than tho types jump there bellybutton to show your Alfa male attributes.And dont be so quick to praise HT for shutting someone down.Ive seen a toejamload of you do worse.Flame away.  And please people.Pay attention to who does the flaming:mad:

DrDea i am suitably impressed :)  

You are thinking the same way i am, but the difference between me and "some" others is I will admit that i sound off and jump on people. I dont pretend to be an angel because i know i am far from it but i dont go to the extremes like alot of people do.

FDutchman, I honestly dont remember what it is I have supposed to have said that obviously upset you so much that you feel you have to bring it on to the BBS and a Hitech thread at that, but if you would like to enlighten me, in fact enlighten us all here on the BBS then if I feel that i overstepped the mark, i will PUBLICLY apologise (here) on the BBS and hopefully that will be the end of that.

I dont play this game to antagonise people, but to have fun, but like any Human Being I get frustrated and sound off but I am not the only one. I do however notice that you FDutchman are the first to pounce and respond to anyone who is unfortunate enough to be playing at the same time as you, even if the person wasnt talking to you in the first place.

So maybe theres a Pot and a Kettle in here somewhere?
