I don't entirely appreciate your implication that I am usually hostile, although, to be fair, I probably should have called out SEspider as a more useless member of the community over Bounce-A-Gon, who I don't entirely have a personal problem with (although his posts do indeed contribute to the negativity around here).

Just glad that those two specific morons seem to have been shooed off successfully. I honestly prefer discussion and debate around here, and do my best to make this a positive place where I can, but I don't suffer idiots like them, and I'm not going to pussyfoot around to keep the undesirables from feeling offended.

You'd be surprised just how often I opt to avoid saying anything when certain folks act the way they do, but seriously, some folks are just too toxic to tolerate.

From the looks of things (as we near the launch of more fiction and the game), things are looking up, so let's not get hung over my word choices.
