Pancreas, as usual, paints the picture best. These rabbits will always wear glasses.
I also like the analogy that we are a clan of 'old-internet' hold overs. If being endlessly politically correct is good for business, then fuck your business. No offense to you personally, Mr. Craig. I'm sure you're a cool guy. It's just the way we are.
Lithose explains it. It's not that we think you can't be a bro, it's simply that, because we don't know you, we must assume that your hand
canbe forced by the market and that is unacceptable to many if not most if not all of the people here. I initially argued that we stay and see how you handle things, but Lith is right. It's not
youthat anyone has a problem with, it's just your position and how it has come to arrive here. It's sort of the same reason I avoid friending coworkers on Facebook and absolutely will not friend anyone in a position of superiority to me. That would change the nature of Facebook for me, in a way that I am not willing to accept.
I also liked Haast's (I think?) analogy of this place being like a pub. This is our Cheers. But we are deciding that we own it now.
Your oil refinery just got nationalized by the proles Craigbro. *shrug*
Hope the hit to your wallet is small enough. We're a rag tag bunch of buffoons so I trust that it is. Sorry Draegan misrepresented himself and this place to you. To be honest you should have walked a turn on the property. Ancient is right, what Draegan said about us is very technically correct. This started from a coalescence of EQ players but it's more than that. Much more. It's not Everquest anymore, it's Gravy now.
I'll make this my last post on RR unless Sooeyneg manages to claim the domain (which would be awesome).
Farewell Pharaoh.
