  Which is why I challenged you to back up your interpretation with
cites.  I note the conspicuous lack of the same in your post.

  If you wish, I *can* provide cites of you launching into over-the-top
and unprovoked attacks upon others.  I can simple point to a number of
unnecessarily provocational statements made in the "Lethality of Events"
thread, for one, such as "Bad use of the class. Worse use of the
alignment rules." or "It is highly likely in real life Mary thinks
Christian morality is at least flawed if not outright wrong." or "Mary
runs her campaign poorly."  (Technically these aren't real cites but I
can easily provide URLs if challenged.)

  As another example, there was nothing in Peter's first post to this
thread to warrant your accusation that he enjoys "bucking gaming
nature".  His style simply does not match yours, nor mine, nor many
others here.  Taking potshots at it served no useful purpose. 

  That seems to be an easy way to distinguish the truth of the matter;
can you back up your claims about Mary's behaviour as easily as I did my
claims about you?

  So you would rather have had everyone else in the group "walk on
eggshells" and avoid mention of the Threefold to avoid insulting you and
a few others?  Strange how you have rejected just such limitations upon
your own behaviour here.  Particularly since your behaviour is
explicitly rude, as versus the way you simply *read insult* into every
mention of the Threefold.

  It's a small group, and all it takes is one asshole pissing in the
pool to spoil things for enough people to kill discussion.  Mary, for
example, has not posted since you attacked her, and a number of other
former regulars have likewise disappeared.

  We have seen it three times now; how an ongoing thread died or turned
into a debate over your behaviour once you unleashed the insults.  The
pattern should be obvious even to you.


> Give me a friggin' break and grow up. 

  The person who should grow up here is the one who cannot handle
differences of opinion, and responds with personal insults.  I leave it
to what lurkers remain to decide which of us better fits that
description.

  Toodles,
   Biff
