I\'m sorry to see you go Bod, you are a good friend and teammate.
I\'m equally saddened by the idiots who have nothing better to do, than throw insults and spout off about others, whom seem to take great pleasure in HURTING people.
Listen up peeps, this is a game and a community.
The characters are controlled by real people who have feelings.
The old addage about sticks and stones may be true to some, but for the most part, names and insults DO hurt, they mightn\'t break bones, but they cause emotional damage. I\'ve seen this kind of hurt before and you know something? it sickens me.
Im not replying to this one quote in particular, but pretty much to all the Dragon Council Members.
Maybe not, though picking up on a post from someone who hasn\'t posted before kinda cheapens your response, doncha think?
I doubt you\'ve noticed, but I tend to avoid forums and this was the first time I\'ve even bothered to post, not as a whiner post, not just for those of DC, but because I felt it needed saying, it came from my heart.
Its hard to miss a certain minority who spoil things for everyone else, and they are part of the reason for my posting.
Firstly, stop the whining. Im not complaining about you saying goodbye, but about you taking the Pity line all of a sudden and making it look like you\'re the victims.
Excuse me?
I am saddened to see Bodacher driven out and understand the loss more than some realise, I also see how those who care deeply about him feel. I don\'t pity them or myself, I feel compassion for their loss, but I would never pity them.
I certainly do NOT pity myself or those who know Bodacher, because he\'s enriched our lives, he is and always will be our friend.
I pity those who are too shallow to understand the PS community and treat it or others badly.
I pity THEM because they will never understand, or value friendship the way I do.
If I knew Bod, I\'d probablly be insulted for him that you\'re trying to use him leaving as a way to further continue the pointless arguement that you\'re having.
I seriously hope you realise that you\'re pegging my post at the top of your attempt to slam others effectively works as a direct insult against me, regardless of whether you \"broadened the range\"
Read my post a little more carefully, it mightn\'t be as organised as others, but it gets the feeling and heart of the situation out.
Was it intended to continue an argument?
Absolutely not. It was a one off post from someone who\'s been sitting as a bystander who finally felt pressed to voice their feelings.
I don\'t want the game to descend into sewer level inteligence, because of those few who can\'t get along.
It takes TWO sides to argue.
That\'s obvious.
All those people accusing others of insulting, and arguing, and spliting the community- Theres a reason this arguement has been going, what, 60 posts? More? Nothing stretches out that long without people on the other side making accusations and counter claims back. Its all good when you\'re dishing it out, but when people retaliate and say stuff back, you pull the victim line? Not convincing. If you\'re going to provoke Evil Characters, and keep stirring them up, then this is always how its going to end up. Though, I mean, its your guild, you can do whatever you want- I really couldnt care which path you take, and its just more fun for us- Its just some advice for your own good.
You SERIOUSLY need to re-read my original post.
