Here's the problem Drac. Every time I've been banned from this forum it was because of a post in the support forums. I have to almost stay out of that area! If I even sneeze the wrong way in there I'm out for good! I guess I'll just subject myself to the abuse and leave it at that.

I Believe Harley said the same thing.
Harley said I'm responsible for how people receive, or how people "perceive" my posts. I just don't believe that, sorry. I think everyone is responsible for his or her own actions and his or her own responses to certain things said, not me. Truth is I do get combative, but only when it is clear the responder is just "out to attack." Usually my posts are straightforward and cordial.
Like the "I can't recommend Swath." I never said Swath was a bad software, never criticized it at all, just said I can't recommend it, and here's why. I don't mind someone coming in, and responding to that by saying "you just don't know how to use the software properly." But you wanna talk about attitude? Go read some of the responses in there.

The problem is, you don't post in a manner conducive (sp) to discussion... The attitude that you post with would have gotten you extremely low points in a debate style format. Your post suggest an attempt to insight arguments vs accomplish a discussion on a matter.
Well, this is true to some extent after I've been attacked, ridiculed or whatever. Yet, when I post initially my intent is to either express an opinion (which of course can incite argument, but heck isn't that what general discussions are for, to express opinions?)
I don't expect everyone to agree, just if they disagree, offer and intelligent argument versus personal attacks. This is no longer the smack talk forum, I was hoping the new rules would change the tone, but evidently the new rules only apply to me and several others.

I try not to call people names, really I do. Yet, the favor is not returned in kind. Harvey and Rick have both called me an "idiot" and a "moron" here! If you read my responses to them I never returned the favor, because I know for a fact they are not idiots, they are not morons! I like to speak what I believe to be the truth at all times. Now, I'm mistaken on what is truth on a frequent basis (just like most humans) but at least I'm true to my conscience.
One final thought. Go read my post in the support forums "bazzar error that just appeared," or something like that. You urge me to use the help forum to avoid attack, but read the support team's response, both there and here.
"Do your research, this is an old issue," etc.
Yet, it turns out my hunch was right, it wasn't a server bug at all but was in fact the game. Ask Vid Kid, he fixed it for me.
I think this one event in the forums says it all, myself, and explains why I'm reluctant to post in the support forums, and why, it's a waste of time, I still get ridiculed.
