[QUOTE="PowerWordDumb, post: 1828067, member: 8614"] It's a bad habit that many of us pick up over at NTL. Whattaya gonna do? *shrug* It amused me, so it served its purpose. :lol: Thanks for the lecture :p but it was pretty apparent that for not the first time you'd jumped headlong into a rant without taking proper stock of the situation. Your assumptions and the ensuing hyperbole were clearly not what was stated. Could well have been what he thought, but it wasn't what he stated. Anyhow, arguing over this is pointless, as you've already apologized, and getting threads closed down doesn't serve anyone's interests or help people deal with those who'd dismiss them for simply playing a game. We can all agree that nobody, gamer or otherwise, should be pigeonholed and subjected to blanket assumptions. It's not fair when done to us, and it's not fair when done to somebody else. Your assumption may have been faulty, but your message was basically correct. [/QUOTE]
