[Sizzle]

As to Sizzle's assertion, it's groundless. He thinks that I ruined CUF, and he would like me to leave. I don't dislike Sizzle; he's not like the rest, but he never responds to anything I say without a criticism. I tried to work it out with him, but his responses were not bury the hatchet ones, so I'm left in antagonistic mode with him.

See, this is exactly my issue with you. Everything is personal and taken over the top and out of context. You are like the woman who, when you say something that could be taken one of two ways, will read into things and without fail you will take it the wrong way and will react accordingly, throwing out the martyr card, claiming that "everyone is against you" and whine to the EC that things aren't fair. As far as your apologies, they are about the most backhanded passive aggressive apologies I've seen in my life. Yeah, real motivating to "bury the hatchet" when you're being insulted in the apologies.

Have I had issues with you? Yes, and I am not going to deny that. But you play the card like you are blameless and have never attacked anybody else, and that is absolutely not true. Your behavior hasn't always been in-line. Have you shaped up? Probably some. But this moral "I haven't made mistakes and people just attack me because I'm Wuap" crap really needs to stop. I know I'm not the only one who feels that way, and have had people who have met the real life Wuap and would probably consider you a friend tell me that you're abrasive and can absolutely see why people have issues with you. The martyr crap seriously needs to go. It's tired.

I am going to cautiously break my silence to say that it would be worthwhile to strip this post to its substance and give it some serious consideration. Silence now resumed.

A new router does not increase skill. I also do not believe that for a man who only plays a game when others are online can be top dog. That would be like jared or Colly joining up with us and out perform me, Phat, Nic, hot Lunch.....that just does not happen.

WTF are you talking about? I'm the best at this shit.

I've said many time that I was out of line, that I was wrong, that I overreacted, and that I was sorry. To you, even. I was out of line in our infamous spat, and I apologized, without conditions for that.

Damn straight. I'm living in perpetual fear of the day I finally see you online in BO on the other team.

I will say that I have always had a good time when CW has joined up. He is pretty damn funny for a part-timer.

JIC too. Wish we saw both of them more often.

Agreed. We need a dose of the good doctor.

Man hugs all around. I haven't been able to bring myself to get Blops, though I have been conflicted about it.

I was one the fence myself. I am not regretting the decision but I could have done without. I do have a good time with my boys online.

Now that you women have worked it out, that Homefront game looked cool.

BTW, this isn't all in my head. I was privy to an accidental press release that was revelatory about how my name was bandied about by the xbox guys. While the accidental slip is no problem, and I'm not mad about it at all, the information contained therein confirmed to me what I suspected, that the mockery of me continued off the board, and that I was "despised."

The posts didn't stop 7 months ago (e.g. bananas suck), even after I took it to PMs with people, asking them to lay off. These guys moved beyond jocular teasing to downright bullying, and they've been keeping it up for months. So, if you want to try and isolate their behavior in a particular segment of time, you could frame my anger as irrational, but given the constant browbeating since then, I think it would be disingenuous to say that the source of my anger is an old conversation. I'm not the only one to feel this way.

Yes, I take things personally, and yes, I get pissed off easily, and I won't ever back down to bullying. I hate it. There is a huge difference between disagreeing/arguing with someone, and systematic bullying. When you tease someone and they ask you to stop and you respond, "if you can't take it, leave," or "get out of the kitchen" or some other bullying stock phrase, that's bullying. When they mix it into some sort of "you insulted my kin" machista bullcrap with no basis in reality, then it's significant.

As to Sizzle's assertion, it's groundless. He thinks that I ruined CUF, and he would like me to leave. I don't dislike Sizzle; he's not like the rest, but he never responds to anything I say without a criticism. I tried to work it out with him, but his responses were not bury the hatchet ones, so I'm left in antagonistic mode with him.

So, I'm sure that the responses to this post will be varied, but this is how I really feel. I just want people to stop fucking with me and talk about the game. If you don't like me, the feeling is probably mutual, so stfu about me, and I'll stfu about you.

I said I was sorry.

I just bought it today. Probably get on tomorrow night. I will need a few sessions to get my sea legs back under me.

My ADR6300 wishes to congratulate all the BYU fans on the board.

I highly recommend Combat Training. Sometimes when I am having an off night I will jump to Combat Training and play 1 on 9 Team Deathmatch on Nuketown. Teaches me to watch my back, even on the lowest AI levels. Also, on the lowest AI levels it makes me feel better about myself.
