What are you drivelling about now? You seem to be oblivious to the discussion going on around you.
We're discussing the community and the sense of spirit within it. The things which hold this site together. Surely you can't have been blind to it all this time.
Oh no I'm not blind to that at all.
I think you forget who you are speaking to here. I've worked personally with George on dfifferent ways to promote the site. I wrote a PM on e-flirting to try an promote the gift certificate system.
I've paid hundreds of dollars to the site in membership fees for myself and other members.
I've supported the sponsors of this site to the tune of $1000+.
I've welcomed EF members in to my home when they visit from other cities.
I've attended larger EF meetups with multiple members.
I've made some genuine friends from this site who I keep in contact with a regular basis off of the boards.
I have been critical of the site at times, but always supportive, although not blindly.
What you are doing is nothing new. I'm well liked, but not by everyone. But who wants to be liked by everyone? Not me. I try to associate with the genuine, honest, and intelligent people of the board, and there are many of them.
The funny thing is, I cannot recall ever once discussing karma or bombs with a member in person. Its just not something significant in most people's lives.
I got a great karma message (green) from Samoth aka Samote the other day. I hope he doesn't mind me posting it, but I think it sums things up pretty nicely
"Seriously, I think we're the only ones who recognize this as a GAME, even though we play different sides, lol... it what makes the board fun and entertaining!"
Key word there bro is "GAME" Karma GAMES. This is why you don't see it on any other forum except C&C, its a game, and the sooner you come to accept that, the better your life will be. Go ahead and grind your axe, its entertaining in its own right, but at a certain point I think people will just beg for it all to stop to spare you any more embarrasment.
