It's this sort of Jr. High approach to communication that makes the internet unpleasant for all. We're both people. I choose to see the person behind the name firebush. I respect that person. I care about that person. Stupid, petty, pointless, frivolous debates about video games? Not so much. I like to talk about them. I like to discuss them. I do not like to argue about them. And I most certainly don't like it when people take their real-world issues online and use such arguments as way to rage against the world for all the wrong its caused them and exact some sort of faux-control. I'm not here for that. 

JackHandy, respectfully, you made a claim, I provided a (very detailed/thoughtful) response which ironed out some of claim, you disregard everything by simply responding with a ridiculing (i.e. “lol”) three sentence reply which pointed out a typo and a minor detail. And so, I responded back with similar energy but of frustration. Don’t act like you were engaging in a respectful manner.

That all said, however, I know just as well as anyone that we are all flawed humans, from the fall at the Garden of Eden. I’m sorry for letting my emotions take hold of me. Never good for anyone to be controlling by worldly values.

No hard feelings. I'm not perfect, either, and lord knows it's taken a long, long time for me to get to this place and a lot of mistakes. But the way I see it is that, as gamers, we're in a small, tiny little minority of people. And when you factor in the whole message-board thing... we're edging toward microscopic. We should all stick together, respect one another and consider each other somewhat family. We should all be celebrating the hobby we all so-clearly cherish. The fighting is awful, and it really upsets me, because I can see the potential lost.
