Soooo...does this mean you're like, pissed at me or anything?
No. Not at all!
In fact, in one of my missing posts I added to Midnite's sentiments by telling you that there was absolutely no reason to limit yourself to only five posts a day unless you didn't have more than five in you.
You've given me some of the best laughs I've had reading the forum - and you have no idea just how therapeutic that's been some days!
I just felt badly that in a couple of your earlier posts you were thinking people spiteful, when I just had the strong impression that probably the most they were guilty of was negligence at the worst.
I dunno...maybe I'm naive.
Naive? No. And truthfully, part of the impression you got is my own fault for making those comments publicly. But, you see, they were directed at people who, shall we say, have been less than cooperative with Midnite or myself in the past when privately we've politely made a request of them, so addressing them publicly was sort of a change of tack that we hoped might work. Sadly, so far anyway, it hasn't...
As far as the guidelines you posted above, I believe I read the guidelines when I first registered. But do I remember that specific paragraph? Can't say that I do.
Well, the majority of the wording (particularly the parts about it being people's responsibility to periodically check the quidelines for updates and amendments) has been there all along - but it was amended a few months back after a somewhat similar incident occurred.
When I come on here, I just sort of try to behave myself, and if I see a request by you or Midnite I try to follow it. (shrug)
And, believe me, in the overwhelming majority of cases, Midnite and I couldn't ask for a nicer or a more conscientious bunch of people to enjoy our love of DS with. What's unfortunate are the ones that seem to continually cause problems for no apparent reason other than they can. But at least Midnite and I have each other to vent to - and that's a hell of a lot more healthy, not to mention a lot safer than actually finding out where these people live and throwing them off a cliff, blowing them up, running them down, or any number of other fantasies we've joked with each other about doing. And one thing's for sure, behind the scenes of this forum is never dull.
