What part of this line doesnt make sense? Pardon me for going off on a
small tangent at the end of my post and suddenly realizing that it could be
taken personally, and asking that it not be. That portion was directed at
the large number of posts I see on websites everywahere bitching back and
forth about how this element of the game or that element of the game is
totally worthless and should never have been included. And to a certain
extent you DID go there, in that you claimed that trade skills aren't part
of teh fun of the game. Just because they aren't part of YOUR fun, does not
mean they aren't part of the fun for someone else... including me and my
party.

And I personally take THIS comment as an insult. To me, an intelligent
person would see the merit in a commentary and realize that if someone says
"that's a general you above and not directed at the person that the rest of
the post is directed at", that is PROBABLY what they meant, and thusly they
shouldnt take it personally. Geesuz We're all human. I'm human, you're
human, and joe blow on the street who hates EQ and thinks we're all
pyshcotic freaks in need of therapy is human too. I go off on a tanget
occassionally. And sometimes I dont want to delete it because it's how I
feel and it's what I want to say... but it also isnt necessarily directed at
any one person... and thusly I say "dont take this personally,. it's a
general rant". If you can't identify with that... well... too damn bad.
