I am bitter. I become more and more bitter when a guy asks a simple question and gets a smart-ass comment instead of a helpful response. If you look at my posts, TSM, you'll see that I rarely if ever flame someone who is obviously new to this board or who has a valid question (I would say "never" but then someone would probably find something that could be construed as such, so I say "rarely"). I do take offense to someone who cops a condescending attitude to someone else. I bear with that, however, because I realize I'm guilty of it myself at times (like in my post to Zepachu). When the guy with the condescending attitude is totally wrong, though, he looks like an idiot. And at that point, you can bet I'll be condescending to him. Turnabout is fair play, IMHO. Now, if I was, in turn, wrong (like if I hadn't checked the CF webpage or helpfile first, and it turned out that it said right in there what size dwarves and duergar were (by size, I mean "medium" not "4 feet tall on average"), I would fully expect Zepachu (or someone else) to step in and say "Whoa there sparky, get your facts straight before you flame someone else." It's happened to me before. Oh, and if I REALLY "liked to argue anything I think I can point something out in," well, I'd be a grammar Nazi with your post. But I'm not like that, I just like to try to stick up for the little guy (like the originator of this thread), not just argue about pointless things. In fact, I admire you to some extent, trying to "stick up" for Zepachu, but the thing is, well, he's wrong. *shrug*
