Listen guys, and this is mainly addressed at the username Light and now Goatboy, I don't know what your problem is with me. I don't see where I've offended you to bring about this, the only factor I can see is that I'm new.

If I'd flamed people, spammed the forum, then fair enough I'd expect hostility, but I haven't, and won't.

If you have a problem then just come right out and say it here, or shut up. In Light's case, he/she is a normal user, but whoever Goatboy is, he/she is a notable.

Last time I saw the definition of that in one of Special Reserve's magazines it was someone who added something special to the forum, who was generally friendly. I've not chatted with any other notables on the forum, but I've seen them post, and they are not like Goatboy. If they were, then I think these forums would be even less appealing than they are.

One of the thing's I liked about these forums when I was just reading them, not posting - this was before I signed up - was that it had areas other than games to talk about. It does, but they seem mostly full of people arguing over generally stupid things.

I'm not going to spend time addressing the stupidity of a few on this forum who seem to have a problem with me posting here, there are a hell of a lot better forums with people who don't seem so hostile to new members. It may only be a minority doing this, but it's a minority I can live without, and that the rest of you should address also, otherwise you won't have anyone bother anymore.

I'm off to pastures new, and I hope you have fun with this Belldandy guy 'cause it's cost you someone who genuinaly wanted to discuss decent topics here, where as he, from what I've read on here this morning, seems more concerned with winding several of you up.

I would say nice knowing you, but I'll adjust to nice knowing some of you.

Since I have been here everyone has been very welcoming to me. Maybe I have just been lucky.

Same here, which is why my replies to Halo initially were polite and discussing stuff.
But something didn't ring true with me, so I clicked my magic Notable fingers and wouldn't ya know it?....

It's a shame when a potentially intelligent and reasonable poster turns out to be the alter-ego of The SR Information Minister

if it was true it would be the actions of a sad, low life gimp, but as I have no proof either way, I choose to believe H FAN is himself, and not that other eejit

Who rattled your cage kid?

I could provide proof, but why bother? I'm not trying to convince anyone else, he knows I'm not making it up and that's good enough for me.

Until you can provide a single shred of hard evidence, the only person incessantly childlike is you, 'dude'.
