It looks like talking about being nice for a change of pace gets everyone riled up around here. Maybe these forums are incurable.
Bling, I have to applaud you. Most people would cower in fear and back away if Badspot said something like that to them. You didn't. You showed that you weren't trolling, and stood up for yourself.
ZZtophat has a point, though, insulting him will get you nowhere. Just explain yourself, there's no need to start flaming (especially on the very thread you made asking everyone to stop flaming!).
I love how some folks say "keep the drama, it's entertaining". So we should give in to all of your preferences why?
And still, folks like tapemaster are saying "just don't let it get to you". Screw that. Seriously. You need to read what you say first, don't just hit post after a rage-typing session.
Drama can't be good in anyway. No matter how "entertaining", or "laughable", or "not let it get to you-able" it is. Bottom line.
