NEWSFLASH. Whistler is the moderator. Maybe you should think about that before you talk to him like that.

1, Tumblemonster, I don't see how the original sarcasm at not getting a better Christmas present from Guild Software was appropriate, regardless of circumstances.

2, Shlimazel, you too can go to hell.

3, Momerath, I'm sorry. I cannot adequately empathize or relate, but still, I'm all the more sorry for that which makes it less tolerable.

I was going to respond to Maalik's insult, but instead I will suggest the topic be locked to prevent even worse flaming from occurring. Why does this always happen to update topics?

I dont think an update over Christmas is neccesary or expected (at least from me and I never made any comment about that). I'm sure as helI not working over the holiday, I would hope the devs aren't either. I made a sarcastic comment about the update, that's all it was. I thought it was funny, I honestly don't care if no one else did. Reading anything else into it is trolling for conflict. Momer lost a friend. I can understand 1st hand how he must feel. My comment came at the wrong moment and for that I'm sorry, but I didn't know what he was going through and niether did any of you.

Sorry, Shlimazel, but you just *did* respond to me. Passive-aggressively even..

For Tumble & Maalik.

Calvin: I'm a genius, but I'm a misunderstood genius.
Hobbes: What's misunderstood about you?
Calvin: Nobody thinks I'm a genius.

Oh for fuck's sake. All of you shut the fuck up already.

shlimazel: While I appreciate the rare moments where somebody defends me, it's not necessary in this case.

I apologize for characterizing tumble's response as that of a "pissy martyr". It was an unnecessary personal attack, and not up to my standards for personal attacks at that.

I will pray for you and the others feeling this loss.

I'll go ahead and lock this, now that missioncreek2 has classed it up a bit.
