I love how you just picked that specific part and just disregarded the rest of the post. I think that is your biggest problem, you go into defense mode faster than anybody I know―even in the cases in which it is not needed. Look at your interaction with iMax, you completely blew it out of proportion and went on to insult him. No wonder iMax came out swinging with that reply. You pretty much acted like iMax reply the first time you entered HaloHAF, you acted as if it was you alone against HaloGAF. The thing was that it was all in your head and that made you paranoid as hell. You also fail to grasp a joke or two, seeing as you still hold a grudge about that HGS joke. All it was, was a joke—get it? Like, Kittens likes #butts, Elzar is a whore and Wahrer makes fart trumpet music. I don’t see them getting overly defensive, heck they are friendly running jokes.
Seriously, stop acting like you are a victim in all of this. The faster you get off that stance, the faster you will finally understand to let go.
Look honestly, I really think you need to re-evaluate any interactions we've ever had. Mine were ALWAYS polite to you. How is it a joke for me, if you post on a "secret" forum that if someone invited me, you'd leave? Most of them have known you for years whereas they knew me for months? If I didn't even receive an invite, I'd never have known. So it's more saying something behind my back than a joke.
I honestly don't know what to say. I truly think I rubbed you the wrong way from the start and you just have a general dislike for me and my posts. I mean it's almost been a year since I PM'ed you asking how I could change my posting habits. I ignored you right after and I suggested you do the same for me. Sure I might have unhid some of your posts if they showed up in the thread, or read what you wrote if someone quoted but I genuinely did not acknowledge you or your posts until now in almost a year, whether you noticed or not.
Now that you mention it, you're right. I do see a bit of myself in iMax because I was the same when I joined. It's why I told him to stay as well, did I honestly insult him anywhere It seems he was upset at someone else who wrote "GSO" and he conflated it with me. My posts to him were pretty strong and somewhat dismissive. I agree, and I also saw the same in Chettlar in a sense, like I said, it's never easy joining a community and you do get defensive. So you know what you're right, I'm honestly going to put this behind me. I honestly see no way where the way I post won't annoy you, so I'm asking you to put me on ignore. It doesn't seem likely we'll ever play Halo together, or interact so I think it's for the best. Cheers.
On a side note, I have posted way too much since I've joined. When I was banned, did it really hit how much it actually was. Often times, my posts are wordy, unnecessarily long walls of text. So I'm probably going to stop posting until E3, maybe later.
