KaVir,
This isn't about whether I'd answer your questions. I made it quite clear in one of my recent posts addressing your behavior that I'd be perfectly willing to discuss this with you privately, rationally, like a couple of adults.
What it's about now, it seems, is whether I answer you on *your* terms, in a public venue, where *you* can continue to condescendingly seek fault in an act of kindness.
I'm not dodging anything. I'm just trying to stop this insane, pointless, petty playground shoving match. And I'm not doing it to be belligerent or oblivious. I asked you to take it private because I wanted you to escape this thread with a shred of dignity and credibility still intact.
For the record, I haven't received one e-mail from you. Not one private message. Nothing indicating you *really* have an interest in talking. So, one must assume that what you really want is for me to be a good minion and do what *KaVir* demands, simply because you're KaVir.
In the past five years, KaVir, since I entered the world of MU* management, I've always looked to you at least with respect, even if I haven't always agreed with what you've said. It was with respect in mind that I wanted to end the public one-man ****ing match.
You were a *hero*. Now you're an *object lesson*.
Frankly, I've got nothing left in the respect reservoir for you, but I've got an abundance of pity. This I can thank you for, though: You've shown me exactly the guy I *don't* want to be. I've gone down that ugly, petty, vindictive road a few times myself, within my own games, to their detriment. It's a shame to see you self-destructing like this over something so silly, but at least it serves as a wakeup call for the rest of us who strive to make something of ourselves in this community: Don't become so caught up in your own hype that you think everyone else owes you their fealty by default.
I hope you get your train back on track.
Best wishes,
Wes
