ABF, you are a pretty nice person actually. Not sure why OB1 considers you mean. I mean, aside from TOTALLY DESSIMATING MY TROOPS WITH NO HINT OF MERCY, you've been pretty nice. Generally, it's obvious it's just your own opinion on many things like games, but perhaps a little rephrasing is in order occasionally, like OB1's example (though you don't make statements like that nearly that often, as far as I can tell anyway).
I'll say this. Often a thread will be somewhat lively for a time, but then you two argue, and the thread immediatly dies. Well, you two are still there, I guess, but everyone else left except for GR or myself occasionally popping in to add something. Of course, at first I'm sure everyone has their own opinions, but they are wiser than I and keep their mouth shut. It's not a cowardly thing to do by the way. Ever heard of "turning the other cheek"?
I know I'm being an idiot for popping in here. Someone with any sense of honor would realize that only a fool takes up a fool's argument, and anyone with self respect would know better than to actually try and change another's viewpoint of one's self via a debate of all things. But as OB1 points out, I have neither, so I end up defending myself.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
