You're full of enough character but not enough of a people pleaser to put SOMEONE off. I suppose if someone really gets their panties in a wad by reading anything typed in the 3rd person, well they're just weirdos who get upset over nothing.

The people who really put me off on these forums are the ones who are just mean-spirited. This is supposed to be a community helping one another, not your average annonymous interwebs hate-spewing "look at the size of my e-p33n" forum. I don't accuse them directly, I just smile and hope that they eventually see that their methods of interacting aren't welcome.
It doesn't bother BG all that much. This is just as much a help thread as it is as anything. Although BG loves it when people get all worked up, he just wanted to show that it's really kinda foolish when you really think about. BG can understand if a newbie doesn't "get it", but if you've been here for a while, you should. Wouldn't yah think?

Hold on...when it comes to getting all the attention. Big Gunns is very "selfish". BG has a feeling a couple old bp.net timers don't like it either. Everyone should relax though. BG is willing to share the spotlight....for a fee.
