My comments toward SP boil down to the fact that, despite what Pundit would like to believe about me, I do not have any desire to "destroy" this site, and I have no desire to play a part with someone who actually does seem to have more interest in disrupting things and doesn't really give a shit about what happens here. As soon as this latest big bout of drama dies, he'll disappear off to Animalball or wherever he can get his Internet Drama fix, until the next time he sees a prime topic to stir the pot here. It's happened before, it'll happen again.
Sigh I wasn't going to do this, but allow me to say a few things. This is bullshit for a number of reasons.
I knwo you've erected your gaming cross, and climbed on so that all of us inners can see what a magnificent GAMER you are but that's crap,and you're a pretty shitty person for trying to do this.
I am a gamer. I have gamed for almost 23 years now. In that time I have never went a single year with out running a game. In fact there have been very months that I haven't gamed, both online and more importantly (and to my great pleasure) in real life.
I may not be the hallowed GAMER you seem to think you are, but I enjoy the hobby. I support it strongly: I purchase game materials on a frequent basis, and in some cases (Like Shadowrun) I own copies of books numbering into the triplicates. (Or int he case of frequently used books by my group I will purchase upwards of five or six copies.) I watch crappy RPG movies. I buy dice. I buy gaming books for presents for my group.
You may think gaming exists independent of the real world, and other things but that's bullshit of the highest order. My games are inspired by many things: comic books, movies, music, popular culture, history, politics, etc... Which is why I like to discuss all of these things.
I have posted exactly one disruptive thread here. One. I have never intentionally caused problems in any Game related thread. I have never once disrupted one of these threads with off topic commentary. I am in fact a model poster-I post when I have time, when I have something to say, and because I earnestly believe in what I say.
I don't claim to always be correct, or the most educated guy in the room, or even think that I am infallible, which seems more than you're capable if your posts are the judge of whom you are. I don't try to tell others how they should post, or why. I care deeply that this site, like the others I participate be as free as possible respecting the one value I prize above all others: Freedom of Expression.
Perhaps you don't value it, or perhaps you think you're values are separate from your posting style-I can not possibly know the answer to that, but I'll thank you kindly to get the fuck off my dick.
I don't have to meet your bullshit standards, I am not any less a part of this hobby than anyone else here is, let alone you. I have written gaming supplements, purchased literally thousands of dollars worth of materials, read hundreds of thousands of hours worth of game related materials, played consistently, and had fun doing. Take your brand of bullshit and stick it up your self righteous, self serving ass.
