Subject: Getting really sick of the hate mail!

Congratulations everyone, I've been on the network for a total of three days
now, and have gotten more hate mail then ever before in my life? Why you ask?
Well I'll tell you why. The best, most humorous, and humble letter I've seen
was Cyclops failed attempt to add a time date stamp. So just a couple letters
after that I see this Dante fellow rip into him for not being able to survive
in the matrix. Well forgivethe rest of us for having a sense of humor Dante.
So then I see my chance to get back, Dante posts his mail twice due to a compute
r error (see where I'm leading to?) So I send him some mail picking on him
for daring to pick on Cyclops. So what do you know, I get a letter telling
me that NOBODY is perfect, so why dont I show some HUMILITY since it would
HELP me. Excuse me? Come on Robert Hayden, where you coming from. So I
sent him an apology for his taking it the wrong way, then I read further
and found that he wanted to set the TEN rules of the network. Since I'm
new here, is he the sysop? I mean, this ballooning ego is already beginning
to crowd me off the network, Shadow Run is a game, a fun and serious game,
and should definitely come with a sense of humor. I like power characters,
but we always try to have more fun at our get togethers. Apparently, Dante
is the one suffering from a fragile ego, he HAS to make sure that all
fifty trillion of his letters get posted, and when people complains he
reacts by name calling, immeadietly dropping the pretense of being sorry
(I'll be sorry on my own terms, no complaints, period) As to too much mail,
how about bundling all your answers into one nice letter, instead of
three or four or five few liners? Well, please forgive me if I'm approaching
this to logically, but I do have to say I'm enjoying the conversations so far,
Talk to y'all later,

Lupin <lately>

(oh, and in case you were wondering, Dante posted his hate mail twice to me)
