I gave you my impression. The thing is, I don't really know you, although it's likely we've chatted on this board before and I may even recognize your name, and this thread might be most meaningful interaction we ever have. It doesn't really matter, in the grand scheme of things, whether you like me. If you hate what I have to say, I hold no ill will against you. But you did ask for help. In light of what I just said, that this may be the only possibly meaningful moment of interaction we ever have, and I do want to help you, this is pretty much my one shot. A lot of people took a very sympathic stance with you. I felt it was important be honest, especially if others may not be. I did not feel sympathetic. Given that you've already admitted to competitive feelings about the other game, confessed to being a "control freak," and annoyed your wife by getting involved in games to the point where it's affecting the energy you spend elsewhere... I'm not going to gloat. Seriously, that's not the kind of person I am. But stand back and look at this situation. Does it strike you in any way that I was able to pick up from a few paragraphs, with very little context, that you were probably annoying people? So anyway... my intention was not at all to injure you, and if I freaked you out, I apologize. I just don't think I was going to help you in any way by pretending that your story sounded to me like you were simply dealing with difficult external events. If we never talk again, if you want to put me on your ignore list, or whatever, that is truly okay. Really just trying to be the most helpful I could be in ninety seconds of your life.Good luck, have fun doing whatever gaming you end up doing, and please... just remember what I said. It is not anyone in the entire universe's job to please you, except you. I don't know you really, but I want you to be happy, and if you can get a grip on that simple fact, you will be on the road to greater happiness.</blockquote>
