Now that you mention it he has been a richard to me too.
Allow me to elaborate so that you may better yourself as a person:
not everything has to be "hue hue love". I know what it's like to get into one of those moods and I have some advice: Choke the chicken. Spank the monkey. Answer the bone phone. Suddenly everything will be a lot less...lovey.
he's always been a richard to me personally
You have been an insufferable moron with every account I have ever seen you post with. I'm all for second or even third chances but once you've ruined that you really shouldn't be surprised that people might not like you and therefore treat you poorly. If it makes you feel any better this is probably the last time I will ever respond to one of your posts because having a conversation with you will probably give me brain cancer.
As for my absence, I needed a short break. I haven't been posting in this thread much at all for weeks now though since the quality has sunk leagues below rock bottom so I don't know what the uproar is about. I might have been gone longer if not for a realization earlier that I didn't have anywhere else to talk about games and other things, and that I already missed taking relative care of what few threads I maintain.
I denied Friend Requests because I just wanted to keep contact with this forum to a minimum during my time away. Hurting feelings was not my intention, and I'm sorry if you were affected. Send them again if you want, though as most people will tell you I don't talk much 1-to-1.
