Untill now, I thought I had accomplished my goals within this thread - 1) Pointing out Brody's ulterior motives and showing that this 'goodness of the heart' and 'for the good of the Community' are nothing but BS. This is proved by his action of completely ignoring all suggestions, and casually brushing away of valid points that he does not want to answer - something completely unlike the Brody that I knew and respected. Past tense intended. (Want me to start a flamewar, anyone? Anyone? I've not been flaming yet, but there ARE parallels that can be drawn between the Third Reich and this. But, invoking Godwin's Law is not normally my style.) 2) I proved my vocal minority point. Very well.

Now, Molly, you've managed to drag me right back into this #### thread.

Everyone in this thread, INCLUDING myself, are behaving like asshats. Please, please don't put words in my mouth. Ever. Apologize, or please back your statement in which I stated outright that KaVir, and ONLY KaVir is behaving like an asshat. Furthermore, I believe I am owed an apology for the "sidekick" remark - KaVir is someone who I won't flame, that does not make me his sidekick. Furthermore, while one of my goals for this thread is similar to KaVir's goals, another is entirely different. One that actually conflicts with a goal of KaVir's, in fact, if you'd bother to pay attention for two seconds.

And I believe I am also owed an apology for calling MUDs losers by someone on this thread. Well? I'm waiting.

Furthermore, I wish that Brody would just come out and tell us why he is doing this. Statements like "good of the Community" and "goodness of his heart" are used by three people. Politicians, slimy lawyers, or people who want something and want to appear perfect while they get it (Both of the above?). This is a Psych major speaking, mind you - I'll even get off my arse and quote specific points from Psych books once I finish off with midterms to prove this point.

Now, Samson and KaVir - kiss and make up all damned ready. Samson: KaVir had a valid point, and he expressed it very well, with multiple disclaimers. Let it drop already - if even I saw it was not meant to be insulting, I am very sure you should be able to as well. I mean, ####, you've laid claim to being more mature then me, and you sure as #### aren't acting like it. KaVir: Perhaps you should have expressed your point in a slightly less offensive manner, or had more explicit disclaimers?

I mean, ####, I'M supposed to be the resident clueless flamer that never lets anything drop, and I'm getting irritated here! There are three valid points. A) Brody is dodging questions and ignoring suggestions, B) We are all acting like asshats, and C) This thread has lost its original point. Good god. I mean, even Samson is using the fallacy of distraction, and that's something I'd never expect from him - much less over something so silly as using his MUD to make a point!
