It doesn't. I was retaliating because Bob BQ has proven himself to be nothing but a bully. If others are too polite to say the horrid things he did, good. Let's keep it that way. There are less vitriolic ways of voicing concerns, which is something even I may struggle to grasp (case in point, my grilling of Bob BQ).
You do have a point about my maturity though. I would say it's more all over the place other than missing entirely as it can wane when I am threatened, especially online. I'm even on medication for this sort of thing, but I can't really discuss all this stuff fully without looking like I'm just making up excuses, like how I don't mention my AS much. "Thick skin" does not mean "impervious" as it can be worn down over time, not just here on Marathon sites either, but elsewhere too such as Steam or IRL, like how in Marathon 1's first secret terminal, Gherrit White was worn down by schoolyard bullies during football and foursquare before exploding after being pushed around by a different one during a later incident.
I thank you for putting it in a much less malicious and much more civil way than he did. I think it's time this thread closed.
