I also busted on him for his editing because he's so quick to attck, denigrate and belittle anyone who doesn't agree with him.
I find it highly amusing that you accuse Andrew of being cowardly for attacking and insulting people who have been banned and can't defend themselves, when that is exactly what you are doing to him here (since he's not on this board). Who's being 'cowardly' exactly? Hypocritical much?
Oh yeah, and you mis-spelt 'attack'
.
And there's nothing wrong with his editing. Especially given that even the worst edited GURPS book is better edited than about 90% of the stuff on the market.
Look, I've been where you are now, with someone else at SJG. I know for a fact it ain't a pretty place to be, you end up making a lot of enemies and pissing off a lot of people, and frankly you end up looking like a complete ⌧. You're on a new board now, you have a golden opportunity to leave that behind and move on and show that you aren't the idiot that you were on the previous board. If you've got any sense you'll take a deep breath, swallow your pride and take that opportunity.
I don't want peopel telling me to use the SJG forums and am making it clear that I don't and why. otherwise people would always be like "well, why not use the SJG forums?"
Maybe I should point out something to you here. In case you hadn't noticed, there's not an awful lot of traffic on this GT board, because most people here are into the other version of Traveller. It was put up as a courtesy by Hunter so that people could talk about GT if they wanted to. Unfortunately for you, most of the GT fans are over on the SJG JTAS boards or the SJG GT forum. So if you come here asking questions about GT, then you may not get a reply.
Of course, the best place to ask would be on the JTAS boards or on the SJG forum, but you conveniently burned your bridges there by pissing everyone off and getting yourself banned from it. Sucks to be you I guess.
I mean it, if you're so bent over me making it clear I can't and won't use the SJG boards due to hackard and his despicable and cowardly behavior, be sure to push that little whistle icon and get me banned here before I start to like it.
Oh, I'm quite sure he will.
As it is, I wouldn't get too comfortable here if I were you, if you keep this attitude up.
Of course, you could just as easily not mention it at all, and then if someone does direct you there say "sorry, I had a disagreement with one of the moderators there and can't do that" and leave it at that. Makes you look like less of a ⌧.
Either that or drop it. It's not like this place is swimming in posters anyway, but hey if tyou want to drive one off go ahead.
Well, you know where the door is.
Unless of course, you want to swallow your ridiculous attitude, leave your baggage at the door, and just calm down and ask your GT questions and hope that someone here knows the answers. But right now you're not making any friends or getting any sympathy. The choice is yours.
All you're doing is bitching about Andrew behind his back to people who mostly don't have a clue what you're on about, in a forum where he can't defend himself. That is exactly what claim to find so 'cowardly and despicable' about Andrew's behaviour. Drop the sig, and you avoid getting peoples' backs up here who do know something about the situation, and you also avoid looking like an guy who won't let go of his issues from outside this board. The sig is kinda like you walking round with an offensive t-shirt - it somewhat detracts from any points you're making.
Had you first posted your questions here without the attacks on Andrew, and left it at that without the sig or the attitude, I can guarantee you that you wouldn't be in this situation now.
