I know and like Frank, I think EOTB (before this) is a shitnozzle.
And you know, 30+ years of people ragging on you gets wearying. I'm only surprised that Frank, Tim, Jim, et al, have even bothered trying out gaming again.
There's good reason Dave Trampier disappeared. There is a high enough percentage of ass-weasels in the gaming community to make it utterly unpleasant.
Ayup. Have to say I'm with Mike on this. DF has been, in my opinion, very disrespectful of the folks from TSR these last few years that posted on their message Forums with Gary, and even after Gary was gone. The former TSR folks and old guard have went out of their way to make themselves available to answer every legit and stupid question posted over there, although admittedly, not always being polite with their responses. I'm not always polite in my responses, and have no trouble outing retards who really want to be retarded, and do retarded stuff like, on purpose like. Being older, I don't even want to make time for such folks anymore.
Yes, Franks response was not appropriate, He probably waited waaaaaay too long to make a response to the stupidity that was going on over there, which should be factored in. Also, pretty sure the reason a private message is marked as a PM,
is so the folks that are having the disagreement can privately resolve their disagreement, or not, ...the key here being private message, so EOTB is completely out of order in reposting a private message publicly, on another message board. To me, that only proves Frank's claim that he's being harassed by those douchebags. So if Steve over at Dragonsfoot was really interested in being impartial and fair, and all, he would permaban EOTB from Dragonsfoot as well. ...just 'sayin. .. And no, speaking your mind should never be a bannable offense on a public message forum, otherwise free speech dies, and then guess what happens next?
Also, isn't EOTB really just an acronym for
"End of The Board" one of those stupid and inane little inside jokes made by a puerile and infantile gamer, with that subtle insulting style made famous by the douche nozzle gamers that frequent the K&K Alehouse as well as Circvs Maximvs. Look like they succeeded in doing some serious damage to DF. Have tried really hard to stay away from that crowd over the years, and here they are ...disturbing my peace again, and messing with Frank Mentzer to boot.
