I missed it because I can't be bothered. Sorry.
For what ever your reasons. Do you really have to have such a poor attitude?
Dang dude.

Oh gee thanks. I feel better.

Look, what the heck did I EVER say or do to you? Nothing. Please have some
respect. I would never say things like that about you. I respect you.

I personnaly have not commented on anyones's entries. I am keeping a discrete
competative distance. Once the contest is over, I wanted to visit everyone's
posts and give kudos. I think all the entries are cool and I have never been so
happy to see people building Mech. Its a good thing.

I understand that jlug provides a place where people can be frank if they want.
No pun intended, lol.
I also think, though hesitativly, that having an outlet in the "community" where
people can act as they wish without fear or consequence is a good thing.
By that same token, I'm sure you'd agree such a forum can be used by
malcontents. Those same people constantly bitching and moaning without trying to
make the world a better place. Sorry, but that is how I feel. I rather not be a
part of that.

I thank you for your honesty.
Please just leave my name out of your posts, hey man, I never crossed you.
You also give rise to new bigotry and hatred. Time better spent building and
exapnding your own skills.
Either way, thanks for being upfront. I hope to make a better impression on you.
Though I feel like stepping away, I fear I won't have the chance.
