[QUOTE="Negative Zero, post: 1069391, member: 3794"] [b]pay attention and learn to admit when you're wrong![/b] DISCLAIMER: most of what follows will just be me ranting, so be guided accordingly. i agree with volcivar when he says that it is extremely annoying when people blatantly disregard comments and then turn around and make thier point based on a previously disproven issue. it's as if they just ignore the fact that what they're complaining about really isn't an issue, or that they've misunderstood, or that they developed misguided expectations. what's the big deal with admitting that you were wrong? someone quoted Monte where all he said was essentially, "i'll make ressurection harder" and then went on to complain that it's not hard enough. it's real simple: is it harder? if the answer is yes, then he not only accomplished what he set out to do, but he also lived up to his promises. if all Monte did was made all the Raise/Res spells one level higher, then he would have lived up to his claim. as it is, he's done a hell of a lot more than that! so what the hell is there for you to complain about? that he didn't live up to [i]your[/i] expectations? he never said that he would. as it is, he only has to live up to [i]his[/i] expectations. what makes you think that you're so important that he must satisfy [u]you[/u]? you're [b]one[/b] person, and as much as you [i](or i)[/i] may like to think differently, you [i](or i)[/i] are not all that important. the majority, on the other hand, is. one person, is not a majority. sure it's not fun being in the minnority, but sometimes, that's life. deal. blaming someone who really has no obligation to care about you, just makes you sound childish and spoilt. now, if what you wanted to do was rant, then you should have labled it as such. if what you wanted to do was simply express your opinion, then you should be more careful how you word your statements so they don't sound like accusations. even so, when you make even a statement, and you're in the minority, you kinda [b]have to[/b] expect a lot of opposition. as for the whole compatability issue, i suspect that the two opposing views on this will never see eye to eye. however, i still maintain that with even a modicum of creativity, there is no (lack of) compatibility issue. in any event, this meandered over a lot of things that i really didn't mean to talk about or say, but i'm like that, i guess. all i really wanted to say is: it's very annoying when you/your statements get ignored. ~NegZ (for someone who doesn't like to write, i sure do a lot of it! weird!)
