I don't see the point of what is essentially permitting sock-puppetry.

Yeah but it would be confined to one thread or area wouldn't it?... everyone would know what they were getting into if they posted in there... but it would be contained so not affect the rest of the site. And there could still be the same rules in place, like no flaming or calling out.

Yeah, I posted that before reading that particular variation, which seems like something a few would enjoy without harming forum operations.

Well, ok, guys, but fair warning. I'm going to be a whole new EP from now on.

Yeah, like you haven't said that before.

In the past I would've agreed with you on this point, but something's very different this time... I think EP's really making a consistent and persistent effort.

[Thumpalumpacus]

Yeah, like you haven't said that before.

You're never making it any easier, you know?

I think you're a little too cynical when it comes to me.

Trust is earned, not granted, and I've seen enough backsliding from 2.0 to doubt your sincerity.

I've seen plenty of 1.0, too much to agree with you.

Thumpa, I've gotta be honest here, I don't really care about your opinion if you're going to take that attidude. I don't want to start flaming here, so let's just ignore each other, ok? Please.

Whatever. I'll trust him. It's not like I'm losing out on anything by doing so. It's like I said before. I judge the post and not the author. When you say something worth considering, I'll have a real conversation with you. When you spout out bullshit, I won't. That's all it comes down to for me.

Basically, I was just another user when I first registered and introduced myself here. Then, somehow, I don't know how, it all went to shit.

But I'm a nice guy, really. I think I just had a run of bad luck here and it's constantly haunting me.

This is why I always look forward to meeting new members. They're so non-judgemental.

But if you end up hating me too, then it's official. There is something wrong with me and I'm not even aware of it ...

So have I... trust me, me and EP have got quite an unpleasant history... but something is definitely different here... different from all the promises of the past overturned in the next post.

I will offer my opinion as I see fit. Your response isn't my concern unless I choose to make it so.

Alright. If you want my own personal input: learn to laugh a little. It's the only thing that keeps me sane. That is all.
