[QUOTE="AaronOfBarbaria, post: 7384772, member: 6701872"] Look at threads started by other people; the ones that actually go somewhere useful is because their [I]first post[/I] - the one that sets the tone for the entire thread for everyone reading it, especially those people that assume "They hit the post button, so they must have included everything they meant to say to open the conversation" instead of assuming that the important information is going to be made in some follow-up post that there is no indication is coming along, even if it is in less than ten minutes. Then look at threads started by you and see what is different. It isn't just that it's you making the posts - it's the tone and context created by your word choice and phrasing. If you want a different outcome, you have to make different efforts - doing the same thing over and over again and expecting it to work out differently is just going to lead you to disappointment. Also, stop your lying about me. I did not "spend an entire post bitching" - not only because I wasn't "bitching", we're just having a conversation despite your attempt to paint my participation as something negative - but also because my comments aimed at helping you avoid things you express dislike of in the future were only a portion, not the entirety, of my post. If you think I'm doing something wrong, then hit the report button. If you can't handle someone posting in a public forum having different opinions than yours and not just sitting by and letting it slide that you constantly equate 'doesn't agree with me' with BS like 'are ganging up on me' and 'won't admit the edition isn't perfect', then hit the ignore button (you wouldn't be the first person here to use it as a means to turn this forum into their own personal echo chamber) But as far as calling me "uniformly unhelpful" - it takes two to tango. You've got no clue whether or not my advice and input is helpful because you've never tried it out - usually because of your attitude that keeps you too busy getting hung up on useless stuff like whether or not the problem you are having is or isn't pretty much only happening at your table to notice when people (not me, in this case, I'll admit) give solutions to the problem.
