Hey Q, I think you may be taking some of the sarcastic humor, too personal...i/e C-fish put a smiley on her post, indicating it was in jest, certainly not warranting a long reply.
I also think you took a few other replies out of context as well...but that's my feeling.
There is a difference between a sarcastic reply and sarcastic humor.
This is where (IMO) typing and not being face to face and "reading" a persons body language, get's lost...but tis the way of the internet I suppose.
Let's close this thread here please, and allow it to run its course for good. The whole subject about my stupid promotion is completely gone from page one. Those who wanted to exhibit their feathers to their fellow-trolls succeeded again, hijacking this piece as they do it anywhere they see some movement, yet they hardly ever start their own threads since they know what happens unavoidably.
Preaching in hell for the conversion of the devil ... easy task ... compared to any attempt to call for common sense, respect and prudence on WGT Forums.
If I have been hard on answering someone, it's been because they have come in with no interest on the topic published, other than have fun mocking the OP author, just to see what happens, and yet I have not mocked them back in any way nor laugh at their honor ... I have confronted energetically, exposing them seriously and not leaving room for misinterpretation ... but there is no intelligent way to stop his show.
And, as smart and polite as you sound on defending the smiley face on the pointed post, there is something on the timing that makes it so obvious and I know already that sarcastic people only see good when they see sarcasm, but if one tries to answer back and defend himself with good reasoning then they act as if they were innocent who don't understand what happened ... so ... as I said before, I learned very young what happens when one throws a stone irresponsibly ... by the way ... such example that I gave was also subject of sarcasm and a mocking answer by Mr. OPD ... whom I decided to not even bother answer back again due to his lack of decency and honor.
Mr B, I know that despite our old fight, that I still resent, you have came with very good intentions in MY later publications; so, my respect to you remains untouched, but please let's not get more into the attempt to make look right something that is wrong.
Anyway, I haven't posted any NEW thing since I know it will be battered too.
They were complaining about the very existence of THIS and other posts of mine ... well, don't answer anything back and you'll see how the post, and I simply fade away for good ;)
