I can agree to that. My question is though why my posts? I have seen others post about women, other races, opinions etc and not get any hate. Someone recently made a post about Chinese people and didn’t get any slack for it. You can not say it isn’t partially my age that everyone gets angry. I guess I don’t know how people get angry so easily. Is the internet really worth getting angry at? Maybe it’s cause I’m younger and have lots of online experience and realize what happens on the internet doesn’t matter so it isn’t worth getting angry. Like I said you play any online game with pvp and someone cusses you out and then you move on and forget about it. I guess people hold more of a grudge here with that. Other than post content I couldn't say what gets other members so riled up about you. You might also consider this- this isn't a Halo lobby where you can have a crude and rude interaction and never worry about seeing that person again. We are a very, very small corner of the internet where a small group has been active for years. Many here have longstanding friendships and longer memories. You have to treat this space differently, step with a bit more care. I will actually agree with that . Fair enough you make a good point.

You know who I feel for? MOK. He got promoted to global moderator and in less than two months has had to lock five threads. Last one this morning. And yes, I did participate in a couple of those threads. Not sure how frequently Adrian or anyone else had to lock threads but in the four years I’ve been here I don’t think it was anywhere near that.

If this place is run anything like the US military, his evaluations are gonna suck.

I do too, a lot. I think everyone does. That’s why I feel for him. And the way I understand it, it’s not just his decision. All or most of the mods get together and make the decision. The final decision might rest with him.

Sorry guys but it's a strict rule of mine that I only hug women and dogs. I might consider a horse if there's one available but that's it.

Sorry about that Zen, you'll just have to get your hugs elsewhere. You could always buy a big stuffed teddy bear

Sorry about that Zen, you'll just have to get your hugs elsewhere. You could always buy a big stuffed teddy bear My son is always happy to give me a hug when I need one (or when he does). I can't imagine being so emotionally crippled that the idea of a hug is unconscionable (regardless of the participants' sex).

I hug when drunk. I call it native bro bonding.

You're still not going to get a hug from me " emotionally crippled " or not.

Same I am not about that weird two guys hugging lol You know, I get it. Once upon a time I was a shy, confused, insecure teenager myself. But you gotta grow past that crap. We've got some bonding to do, here! Alright, you can do that whole goofy lean-in-from-a-yard-away-to-avoid-contact-like-a-frigging- weirdo thing, sure, but the options are either this or kiss and make up. (Wait. Is that phrase why KISS decided to wear make-up? Was it a damn pun all along?! ) ...anyway, now c'mere and hug us half-a-dozen weird baboon things, ya big stupid lug!
