...(and forgive me for intruding on you guys, but as an FFXI board-member I feel it's my moral responsibility to do so and be as utterly stupid as possible while doing it), it occurred to me tonight... All these recent intrusions you guys are getting from the FFXI board members remind me of something. I don't even know where the thought came from, but out of nowhere I just got this random mental image of a bunch of little kids daring each other to run up and ring that witch Old Lady Hinkleburg's doorbell and run. That's exactly what these FFXI trolls reminds me of. They're running to the big scary Asylum door, ringing the doorbell, and running to hide behind a bush and laugh. They egg each other on and think they're tough or brave or clever for it, and they're just hoping Old Lady Hinkleburg won't bake them in her oven or use her witchcraft to turn them into frogs. I know it's a strange analogy, but I really think it fits.
Anyway, the real reason I'm here is that I wanted to apologise for this whole stupid situation. I had no idea how seriously pathetic some (most?) of my fellow FFXIers were. I made a long post on our board asking them to cool it and stop trolling you guys, but it didn't accomplish much other than getting me down-rated and told off for thinking my opinion mattered over there, and how dare I tell them what to do when they're free to post whatever the fu[/b]ck they want whenever they want!? So, all I can do now is apologise for their behaviour and ask you guys not to hold it against the rest of us. We're not all honestly this stupid, and some of us aren't even inbred! (If only I were in that group then maybe my opinion would matter over there... alas, once again Uncle Dad's genetic legacy is holding me back from my dreams of success.)
Anyway, I don't know why I'm even posting this really, except that I'm embarassed and disgusted with my board right now and I felt the need to apologise on behalf of the monosyllabics over there who can't actually SAY "apologise" much less do it. I had no idea how much the rest of the site (including the admins) looks down on us, and it really bothers me to know it. And unfortunately I can't stop them from being little pricks to you guys, either. So, all I CAN do is ask you to verbally assrape any of them that wander over and start shi[b]it, and maybe they'll get the hint that they're not welcome here. Or else ignore them, they have short attention-spans anyway and they'll probably get bored if they don't get the attention they crave. <shrug> Anyway, sorry for intruding.
