Your response ignores my main point, ignores the NEUTRAL option and shows a failure to understand exactly what an ad hominem argument is. (An insult is not always an ad hominem argument.) In fairness though, few people seem to understand it.

I guess I should take my own advice and quit now. Again, there is no reason to respond to these posts: We are era accurate. We don't need to apologize to anyone.

I bet dollars to donuts this gets put in the trash talk before this time tomorrow!

I took as an argument against my position because I don't speak like a forum retard, thus debasing my position. Mixing insult with debate is, however, never a wise decision. Although colloquially speaking, I would be correct, not that a colloquial term really embodies the the true intention of the original.

I wasn't really interested in the neutral part of your argument, it's provided sure but the degree to which it extends is not really articulated in the question posed that presents the poll. I never said the options are poor. I said the extremes to which the poll question was posed, invalidates the poll. This poll would not stand up to any measured standard of conducting a poll.

No one is saying you aren't, or you need to. All I stated was that in all likelihood you and your group have caused more players to leave the shard then join it based solely off of your decisions and actions. There's no shame in saying you're not interested in bring players and would rather make people angry. It's honest if nothing else.

Enjoy the TT Forums!

you jumped on your silly ad hom business because some very valid points were made by both chum and i (but articulated by chum much better .. he is a bard after all) and you had nothing to come back with.

weak chips.

regardless, the forum has spoken
The effect of cA on this shard
GOOD
