Wolf, it's not only myself who feels like this.
Further more to this subject, you can say 'well you bring it on yourself' ... but i didn't did i?
No one here ever had a problem with me, even the oldies who were here. Although sure a majority of the users were newbies, there were quite a few oldies on here.
Sorry, but my past should never have been an issue and what's more no matter what I have and have not done in the past does NOT excuse thier behaviour.
You damn well know that too!
You want to know what the thing that pisses me off the most about all of this. I was barely known outside of the 3D Forum where I stayed almost exclusively, and the two people that changed that Guy and Tony... one has disappeared without a trace and one was shown up to be a fraud.
It pisses me off so damn much the reason so many newbies hated me from the RGT forums was because of how I reviewed and critiqued work, yet the beloved Simple came in and totally ripped apart peoples work with what, 2-3months totally experience and yet somehow was some kinda expert who could never offend?!
Yet because him and Guy were so close, his attitude and everything was just fine... enough for people to follow whatever he said about anything and end up with a grudge against other artists who dared oppose him with anything.
You think I was happy here because hardly anyone knew me or my past, wake the hell up and smell the java crashing explorer.
The reason everyone was so happy here including myself was because this forum was free of people who make problems simply because they can.
There is a difference between discussion and outright flaming, and this is something RGT members have never come to grasps with and as such took the freedom they gained here outside of RGT iron-fists and ripped the forum apart from the inside-out.
It only takes 1 user to start a fire, after twenty people have thrown on thier fodder the flames become so big no one even realises why the fire was originally started; and there are alot of users who don't give a damn, they just want the fire to keep burning and burning as long as it can because they liked being part of that crowd.
If you ever notice when a users flames you from the 'selective' members they NEVER do it alone, and they won't stop until they've douced everything they can see.
Yeah, it is totally the fact of how I conduct myself isn't it?
Because if i didn't give them fodder for thier insatiable needs they would never flame anyone would they?
That's bollocks and you know it... i'm the only damn thing that's keeping them from flaming everyone and everything they can see.
I am a single common target they can keep flaming, without it they lash out everywhere.
Just look when I go away for a week or so, each time they *must* flame something. They can't go without it.
Sure my attitude and conduct isn't exactly great, but at the end of the day, i'm not the one flaming people, am i?
I could sit here and say i'm some astronaut for Russian Space Patrol or something, that would start a flame war with people finding evidence i'm not. At the end of the day, i could be, i might not be... but who the hell is actually in the wrong?
Me for saying I am, or them for making a big deal out of it trying to disprove it?
Even more over, what if some other user came on saying he was a Russian Astronuat; you'd see he'll just be ignored. Well unless i'm not around them that thread ends up being locked quickly.
Look through the forum, you can't dispute facts mate.
Some people are just, well, jerks.
