If this is truly how you feel, why bother with us? IMO the thread is laid back enough to welcome new people, and as a chat thread has no general "topic" anyway, I'm not quite sure of it's direction? When a real topic comes up, we'll add to it if we have anything to add, and in the meantime we fill the rest in with random bullshit

So that's what I've been doing the whole time. I state my opinion and then I list the reasons why I think it is valid. Not once have I intended to show that "mine is better". I was simply stating the primary reasons why I have my opinion on things.

Lets take my GIAC opinion. All I've done is state reasons as to why I think it is better than anything currently on the market. I simply listed those reasons one by one. Not once have I said: "You fools, you should be running GIAC and dump your piggies", now have I?

As to how and why this method of expressing my opinions has become a point of hatred to some and a matter of personal vendetta to some, I have no idea.

See what you don't get is this isn't US Federal Court Vasil. You throw out factual info but do so in a very argumentative fashion. You made it clear that you think this chat thread is not very serious with all the gheyness and whatnot. You are correct, it's VERY laid back and with the questions asked usually a laid back answer is given. You present yours like its OJ's defense... and that is why you get cockeyed looks for them. Instead of presenting your case in an uber-serious manner like you have in the past, throwing out your opinion as strong as the iron curtain, you can always just say: I got "X" because of "A, B and C reasons" and if you're looking for the same it might be something to consider. Like I said, we all have a very relaxed fashion in here but yours tends to be a lot more uptight which is why it doesn't go over well in these situations. If you want to be accepted in here you need to loosen up and let us know you can "hang" so to speak. If you can do that we won't take what you say so harshly - case in point the way you're defending yourself in above post.

Who ever said this thread was supposed to unite anyone? It's a CHAT thread.

Again, you want to make a serious Chicago thread. Please feel free to do so.

GTGs are for uniting people...and if anyone doesn't attend a meet because they read this chat thread...well can't help them there...

Fine point. I agree: posting serious arguments in a "laid back" thread is not a good idea. Yeah, I admit, I am uptight quite often and I have no doubts this is showing here.

It still does not explain the outright hatred that has been displayed against me. Al said he wishes I get hit by a bus a few pages back. Now, I am sorry, but for someone not to take this seriously means that they have a vegetable for a spine.
