In Response To: Re: Nightmare Armor...Helmet Raffle (Louis Wu) : Wha... what? : I had no issue with the idea of paypal... that's true. I think it's a fine : idea. : What does that have to do with anything? : There's absolutely NOTHING WRONG with making suggestions. : The stupid part - the part that triggered my post - was this comment: : "If they don't have a helmets per entrants formula, I will make it my : personal mission to gripe and bitch until they do." : That's stupid. Period. You make a suggestion - they listen to it. If they : think it's good, they incorporate it. If they don't, they don't. Making : it a personal mission to gripe and bitch until someone does what you want : is stupid. : See above. : I didn't see the smiley. I suppose I judged the comment as consistent with : your online persona, as it was... so the smiley didn't register. (And even : if I HAD seen it, I think I wouldn't have believed it.) : Smileys don't absolve you of all responsibility when you make comments - : ESPECIALLY when the rest of the post is totally serious. (I'd point you to : a fantastic example of this from Miguel not too long ago, but it looks : like it's been deleted... pity.) : Bottom line: Paypal is a fine idea. (I don't think I ever said it wasn't, or : suggested that since it came from you, it was no longer valid, but I guess : I need to be clearer.) : Suggesting ideas for someone else's raffle is a fine thing to do. (Again, I : don't think I ever said, or even implied, that it wasn't.) : DEMANDING that someone else conform to your idea of what's fair is stupid. : (I don't think I've ever been inconsistent about this. I've felt this way : all my life.) : Joking that you're going to do this, when it's something that's completely : consistent with your normal behavior in other circumstances, is probably : not the wisest thing to do. It's sort of a wolf-cry thing. You didn't see the smiley after the "stupid part that triggered your post". That wasn't my fault. I understand that there is always, or nearly always anyhow, truth in jest, but when have I ever made something like this my personal mission? When have any of my personal missions been demanding and negative? (that was rhetorical) -gwdpto

oh, nothing
