Mephisto, you walk a thin line, a VERY thin line. Your criticisms have some
validity, yes, but they are not, no matter how much you may believe in them,
the final say in the matter. What I'm saying is--RESPECT OPINIONS AND LEARN
SOME TACT!!!! This is a warning, possibly the final one. Who knows, even as
I write this the fleets of submarines may be surfacing near the shores of your
homeland, readying to launch scores of sub-tactical nuclear carps in your dir-
ection!!
There is a fine line between arrogance and stupidity. I know. I've
trained in the Navy and elsewhere. Trust me when I tell you that us Navy
SEALs can be the crudest and most arrogant SOBs ever to waltz through so-
ciety, but there is a big difference between us and you. We have proven
to ourselves and others that we have the ability to back up our arrogant
claims. More importantly, however, we know when to lock up that portion
of our personna (mainly when in the presence of admirals and the like.)
Now don't get me wrong, I'm not selflessly supporting every word uttered
by FL or Doom as unbiding law, but I'm just saying that you must learn to
show a little respect if you want any to be show to you.
Sorry about the gruff tone, just wanted you to be able to learn from
your mistakes now so you don't get kicked off the list, that way, maybe we
all can discuss your ideas a bit better (andd who knows, maybe we'll even
learn from them! >:)
