Hey Sean -
I guess again, I'm just not seeing it. I for one don't think you started a
lot of problems, and I'm not upset at you. In fact, I talk to quite a few
people who post here in other channels, such as email and instant messenger,
and no one else I've discussed this thread with is upset with you.
Here's a bit of friendly advice, meant in the nicest possible way. Try to
separate personal stuff from reasoned arguments. From my perspective, I
think you took the debate-ish nature of that thread personally, instead of
applying the responses to the opinions you were posting. When someone
doesn't agree with your opinion, it doesn't necessarily mean they don't like
you.
But in one sense, I think you came to a good decision. Stay away from
debates, they'll only drain your energy. It took me years to learn that
one, and you've learned it in a week. So, stick around, build, post your
MOCs, and most of all HAVE FUN. And...welcome to LUGNET. I'm glad you're
here :-)
-Tim
