Dear Chris, A week ago, I wouldn't have been able to to contribute anything or say anything. However, I think I can say one or two things now, having some light shined on me a while back, by the Usual Assholes. :) People WILL blast you here. They will blast you for stupid things. Recently, I wanted to know which computer program to use against a couple of GM's I will be playing soon. I thought about it, and came to the conclusion, "I will just play them all against each other, whoever wins is what I'll use." And never thought another thing of it. I posted it here, and not a SINGLE person posted anything "delighful" about it. They all blasted me, telling me that I was a moron for trying to pick the best canidate to play a human, in a C vs C tourney! I was kind of upset, because I for one know that C vs C is NOTHING like H vs C. And I was not trying to claim that "Program X" would be the best against humans. I was simply trying to get a basis on picking one of them. No one got this point, and probably still don't. Oh well. I spent about an hour writing a post to Dr. Bob, blasting him, and then refrained from posting it. Seems at CCC, it's "more reasonable" to all these scientist, computer experts, and the high-IQ-claiming folks to have "thick skin" than it is to obey the #1 rule in life. "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all." Bottom line: Fuck them. Fuck 'em all. Say what YOU want, and give other people here the same respect. Use judgement. If a post REALLY bothers you, then ask a moderator to delete it. I mean, come on. Will you ever meet these people? People here can be rude. But you just gotta ignore them. Just as you do in real life. Of course, when posting a reply to someone who just said something pretty nasty about you or to you, use your judgement. Don't use theirs. I hope this helps, Slater Wold
