Hi Ice... <S>
You didn't offend me and your point was a valid expression of your opinion and feelings, to which you are indeed entitled.
There are just some folks who, for whatever reason, feel a compunction to exercise their need for "control" through posts that marginalize or minimize others. Unfortunately, it's much easier to do this in this abstract Internet world where one sees no real people, but rather their text personas only. I'm sure if these same people met in a real life setting such as a CON, you wouldn't see this kind of behavior play out.
I think that's why the "personal attack" kind of posts you speak of appear to dominate a fair amount of all boards, regardless of whether it's HTC, AGW, or some completely different game environment. Some are brutally blunt, while many of the Masters of this "black" art, are very skillful in baiting others, as well as highly manipulative with their style of prose. I think you've probably seen both forms, so it's a simple matter of understanding their real agenda before engaging in threads with them.
BTW, I do enjoy your posts....so keep them coming.

Badger
