That's an explosion, amigo! I made it out of polystyrene and toothpicks
Thanks very much

[jdizzy001]

[Witchkingx5]

[Kev-La]

Thanks very much, jdizzy001 and witchkingx5.  *Munch!*

hey, what is your gccg handle?  I really want to play.  What format do you prefer? I normally play movie format, but i have a little bit of everything.

Me? I don't have one. I was thinking about giving GCCG a try but was somewhat put off the idea by the rudeness of a certain person on this forum.

Take it with a grain of salt.  His heart is in the right place, but he gets a little excited sometimes.  He is a good guy, but has been on the forms for so long now, he forgets that others have not, thus they aren't as familiar with the options available to them.  Honestly, I've never seen him on the gccg... that is unless his username is different there than here.  Mine is the same, I am jdizzy here, and I'm jdizzy there.  I want people to know when I've lost to them, or beat them.  My win ratio is up to 50% now.  I am real excited about that.

A simple apology from him would have been very well received by myself, I assure you

His heart is in the right place, but he gets a little excited sometimes.  He is a good guy, but has been on the forms for so long now, he forgets that others have not, thus they aren't as familiar with the options available to them.

I'm perfectly willing to make allowances for those who make allowances for others. One of the things that puts me off using forums more is that so many other users seem to forget that politeness should be adopted out of respect for one's fellow man, not out of fear of reprisal by him. It is refreshing to meet someone like yourself who seems able to appreciate this

Honestly, I've never seen him on the gccg... that is unless his username is different there than here.  Mine is the same, I am jdizzy here, and I'm jdizzy there.  I want people to know when I've lost to them, or beat them.  My win ratio is up to 50% now.  I am real excited about that.

Perhaps I'll give it a go, then. I'm not really sure how I'll do that, though. I have no internet access at home, so I have to either use the computers in the library in town (as I am at the moment) or at work. They only permit you to use the library ones for an hour at a time, and I can't download stuff at work (which I'm assuming I'd have to do if I was to play in between the phonecalls I have to answer)

Jesus, are we still hung up over this? I did say I was sorry...that apparently you can't get over yourself just a little bit and have a sense of humor.

...respect for one's fellow man, not out of fear of reprisal by him.

Where I come from, respect is earned.

he forgets that others have not

Listen jdizzy, I appreciate what you said but you don't have to stand up for me by any means. I haven't lost any sleep over this ordeal, but it blows my mind that two weeks later this is still coming up. And by the way, I don't forget that sort of thing. I think I have fantastic situational awareness.

Kev, I honestly have no qualms about what I did, no reservations about how I treated you, and no intention of apologizing; however, I am ready to move on and figure out some new thing that we can all #$&*@! about.

See you around the forums.

Ket: i hope you don't feel i was over stepping my bounds.  I'll let the sleeping dog lie. (or is it lay?) 

Kev:  I wouldn't want you to get in trouble at work, so whatever you need to do, just let me know your handle once your on.  We'll game sometime.

[Kev-La]

Jesus, are we still hung up over this? I did say I was sorry...that apparently you can't get over yourself just a little bit and have a sense of humor.

I'm "hung up" over nothing. I was explaining to jdizzy one reason why I hadn't signed on to GCCG. Saying "sorry" for the actions of another is not the same as apologising to that person, as I'm all too sure you are aware.

Where I come from, respect is earned.

Where I come from, one has to first give respect in order to earn it.

Kev, I honestly have no qualms about what I did, no reservations about how I treated you, and no intention of apologizing; however, I am ready to move on and figure out some new thing that we can all #$&*@! about.

I had already "moved on". This does not change the fact that your rudeness was enough to make me have doubts as to whether I could expect players on GCCG to be the sort of people I wish to play with, and this is what I was explaining to jdizzy (ensuring that I did not name any names in the hope that I would not be thought of as waking up a sleeping dog).

jdizzy: Thanks. I'll do that and hopefully have the pleasure of playing you at some point in the future.
