that's fair. But, you have to see, it gives that impression of "know our inside jokes" whenever I see comments like "The history lesson is to give you an idea of how this place works, because lately you haven't had a clue. You need it."
As a matter of fact, that quote was from FTL in a post to me where he gave me a SOLID INDICATION of what is tolerated and what isn't...
Stuff like: "Just calm the hell down and let the sarcasm roll without worrying about whose fucking feelings get hurt. General rule of thumb is, is someone gets offended by what you say, they're the one with the problem, not you. They can't handle this place. Let them deal with it.
"
I like to think that it was posts like that that helped me "see the light" (if I have in fact seen it, I dunno...) and helped me understand how this place ran. Also, i tleft me no choice but to respect the guy for coming straight out and speaking up. Just like Alkey did in my newbie "intro of self" thread
:nod:
By the way - I am only speaking for myself here. I'm just a guy who wasn't around for that 2000-2001 OA.com heyday but finds himself having more fun than not with most of the fine folks of this site.
