Hi guys, There is something I have to get of my chest. I suppose I am one of those "little guys", although I have an interest in WWII I am not that adept at crunching numbers as some of you are. My general knowledge of vehicles and weapons is adequate but it is a passing interest. I miss the indepth detail that a number of you so easily wield. Similar with this game, even though I played SP and SPWaW for years I am not as familar with all the little details as others are. That's ok, you can't excell in everything you do I suppose and while I get my ass wooped in most ( if not all -lol-) PBEM games I played, I throughly enjoyed every game I played. The AI still suprises me, I still run into units I have not seen before and am in awe of the likes of Wild Bill and the apparent ease with which he and many like him whip out these wonderful scenarios. Too, this very messageboard has been a source of great entrainment , especially the last year or so, ever since I came back from unvoluntary retirement. I had many a chuckle over the antics and posts from Jess and Goblin , and all those others in the M4 and **** camps :) I even felt a measure of pride for a while to see a number among you use the banners I had made. Not to mention all the help and insight I have received on this board. In many ways SPWaW -was- this board for me. I dont think I posted that much, I did enjoy watching the banter and soaked up all the tips. I am sorry to say that pleasure has totally disappeared. Where as once upon a time I held this messageboard up as a way how people could interact with one another, even if they disagreed, I now feel things have gone totally the opposite way. I had a small absence for a while, and returned right after that whole hack episode. I saw a number of names I had not seen before , a few that did look familar but what I most of all found was a mentality that doesnt come close to what I was used to. Instead of a boisterous bunch of men ( and women ofcourse, Alexandra's AAR's I soak up) having a good time I am now witnessing behaviour that does not show much in the way of respect or even basic courtesy towards one another. Agreed it is a small group but it would appear this small group is holding this forum hostage with the way they choose to communicate. I am not talking about who is right and who is not, but the way how these points are being brought across. I dont wish to lament too much on what is going on, all I know is that I will go do something else with the time I usually spendt reading this board until the air has cleaned up and people know how to talk with each other again with having to result to petty behaviour. I do not make this post as a threat , nor as some form or blackmail but I know there are more like me out there , reading this board and having difficulty believing what their eyes see. I only thought it was more then fair to let these 'warring factions' know there is another group out there that has to witness how something they enjoy is being torn to pieces. Until later. Rhodan
