It's nothing personal.  It's not even all pointed at you.  Search the Lugnet
archives, you'll see that someone comes along every few months, posts about their
new site/model/pics, then yells, screams, or cries at everyone if they don't get
their 15 seconds of fame and lots of replies telling them they're great.

It gets a little old.  Stick around long enough, and you'll see that it happens
over
and over
and over
and OVER.

I'd rather bruise a few egos than deal with more "and over"s in the future.


BTW, if you can't take a few rough words (nary a cussword in there, too), you are
in for some MAJOR disappointments in life.  Unless you're born to one of the
Anointed People (old money, new money, etc), you aren't going to be coddled out in
the real world, and you'd better get used to rough edges now, while the
consequences are piddling.

Get over yourself already, and grow up.

About my last post... Yeah, I didn't really think it through and I was
having a bad day. After I saw that nobody posted, I was a little peeved and
wrote what I wrote. However, your comment isn't appreciated by anyone and
did no good whatsoever. Personal attacks should NOT be condoned in what is
supposed to be a family community! Yes, my post wasn't the correct way to
express my feelings, but I did not make fun of anyone or put anyone down.
But c'mon! Adrian Drake at least had the heart to help out and give advice.
I hope you feel proud of yourself. :-(

(...) Well, I think that is a major part of people posting their MOCs and sites here - they want to hear a kind word or two directed towards them. What is wrong with that? I like Nick's site - it was one of the first sites I linked to when I opened (...) (21 years ago, 16-Apr-03, to lugnet.general)
