Title: Sorry if I caused a headache
Post by: hammersby on September 16, 2012, 04:34:44 PM
I hope me yelling at the idiots at the wargamer.com didn't get anyone in any trouble. I like lurking here and those guys just really p***ed me off with their stupid stuff.  what kind of idiot "registers" in 2007 and doesn't make a post for 5 years and then its just to try to make others sites like this one and acg and gamesquad look bad?  Youd think if he's been there since 2007 he'd know how far how fast the wargamer.com has tanked since the end of 2009.

anyhow......

I love reading this site and I hope you all are around for a long long long time and don't fall apart like those idiots

I don't get over there much these days and hadn't noticed any trouble.

We're happy to see you here and are looking forward to many enjoyable conversations with you :)

I forgot to mention that lurking is fun, but participating in the insanity is much, much better.

Agreed on Bison's last two posts.

No headache. We've already realized the inmates have taken over the asylum over at WG, which is why we are here now.

Hammersby you were my Hero of the Week for your posts defending us over at WG. Thank you.

headache ? ...not at all! ...i would describe my feeling more like a warm pleasant burning sensation inside ... like when some extra mild good-o'l Irish Whiskey (Bushmill's) is sloooowly rinsing down my throat  :)

Thanks for putting the facts straight  8)

I'm thinking the Great British Bacon Crisis has hit him harder than the rest of us.

Good point. I fear to think of the madness that would grip us all in the face of a lack of cured pork products.

It has and I'm a vegetarian. Mostly I'm worried that you guys are going to start hogging all the tofu bacon.

I'm not sure that even if it meant preventing global thermonuclear war that I would try tofu bacon. No offense.

It's not really made from tofu, but I get your point. I think if I ever caved on the vegetarian thing it would be for bacon.

I recall reading about a study ( funded,no doubt, by the National Pork Council) which showed that the first meat which 90% of lapsed vegetarians eat is bacon. It was certainly true in my case as I ate no red meat from my 18th birthday to about age 30 or 31.

Some of the things I saw at work affected my appetite for both rare and well done meat. With the passing of time and a change in career I got over it.

If I didn't have to worry about malnutrition, red meat is all I'd ever eat!

I'm reasonably certain it's certain someone who has an ax to grind with Grogheads because he/she/it behaved like an ass while a member here and now spends time hiding behind various sockpuppets over at the WG. The style is certainly familiar. >:(

Guys, just leave it alone and walk away :)

We've already reached out to them thru back-channels to smooth things over.

Let's just focus on our community right now, eh?

Not me.

Mike, it's possible they're in the US - "DE" is the postal abbreviation for the state of Delaware here.

I know and will. I think everyone (well amost ) wants to cool it down and almost all the mods feel at home in both forums, so hopefully this will end now.

Cheers
