He said it within forum rules? I didn't accuse him of breaking rules, and frankly I don't care if he did or not, to be honest. I was more than civil enough, along with everyone else. We didn't break any rules either. If he wanted to say "well it's a win, but we're still not going anywhere", then that's an opinion and I respect it, whether or not I agree. But there was no room for any other interpretation than what we took it as... We're just a pack of daydreaming fools, who have no sense of reality.

The sarcasm, and condescension couldn't have been more obvious to anyone. I will end by saying respectfully to you; if you don't like what WE have to say, then just ignore the thread. I'm not belittling your right to have a say, but you're asking us to respect an opinion while not respecting ours. When you call people out for being happy of all things, as the original poster did, then you deserve to be lambasted.

I never claimed that you were "guilty" of the behavior I was frowning upon in my initial post, so I don't know why you are taking this so personally.

I was just defending xan's right to voice his opinion on these boards, and since he did it in a way that is in accordance to the rules the site administrator has set in place - I see no reason to make the content of his thread to consist of one hit after another on him, although many of those hits were well-mannered and in jest. Incidentally, I am also guilty of joking around and at times maybe taking it too far, so I'm far from being innocent in that regard.

I probably overreacted, and like xan already stated - he doesn't need any defending. I have nothing against no one on these boards, on the contrary, but I'd also like to see our written transactions to be more cordial at times, because "united we stand!"
