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.

I'm guessing the second syllable of his name kinda gives away what sex he is.

If any of that was aimed towards me for the freedom topic, then let me tell you - I wasn't having a go at you because you were new, but because you can't, and won't, see the definition of freedom. You keep insisting that freedom has boundaries, which is like saying "White is black", or "light is dark".
