> Oh Really? > Plain newbies don't get flamed by others, Sladin. Newbies like you do. Newbies who claim they are "the shizzit" and pretend to be far more deathful than they really are...those are the guys who get flamed. Nobody likes a braggart, but furthermore, nobody likes a braggart who isn't nearly as good as he thinks he is. > I can see why you decided to go with a new handle there, "ShadowKnight" because, well, as Sladin, you earned the contempt of most of the people who read this board. Now you are trying to give advice to newbies, when the advice you are giving really ends up to be pro-Sladin rhetoric. At least this time the rhetoric is actually accurate. He was soccermomlian as a pker, mediocre at best as a roleplayer, and yes, he probably was considered a good friend to the 5 or 6 players who could stand him. > In the end, this isn't a flame (or I'm trying not to) because I find myself sorta feeling sorry for you. You actually are beginning to understand stuff, and I think maybe you're looking back and realizing how stupid you sounded on this board. I hope you are. As I said, I feel bad for you, because you probably AREN'T as newbieriffic as you sounded. You should have kept the fact that ShadowKnight was your new nick hidden, because your lack of credibility in your Sladin years will hurt your credibility as ShadowKnight now. > Just my opinion.
