Dirty_Taco: I've known you for quite a while. I won't claim to know you well, but from my encounters, I've seen many sides of you. You can be a top notch member of the community or the bottom of the barrel. It really depends on you. I hope your apology is sincere, and I accept it if it is. It's going to take a while for you to get respect built back up, though. You have to keep in mind the image you've created for yourself. You're a skilled individual. You can use those skills to tear people down for your own personal amusement or build/contribute to something great.
rez/Uni: Seriously, the name calling and personal attacks need to stop. Now. I know DT has given you some crap in the past, but you need to be a man about it and let it go. By not doing so, you've fanned the flames and made things worse (not to mention done some things that are just as bad). If you continue with posts like that, I'm going to start banning rez's account, too.
SkateR: You, too.
PiCaSSo: Glad to hear things are working out better for you.
This game is made to to play and have fun. A little bit of gaming is healthy. It helps improve your visual responsiveness, reflexes, and hand-eye coordination. Using gaming as an escape from reality, however, is not. It can potentially be just as bad as alcohol (or other substance) abuse. I love to have people playing the game, but I'd rather have empty servers than have people wasting away their lives behind a computer screen because they can't stand to face their real life. This goes for everyone: If you need to sort something out in your life, quit wasting your time with games and go do it. I'm sure most of us will still be around when you get back.
