I used to play a LOT of EQ. First few years just soloing, then I got sucked into raiding with my Shadowknight.. Ugh. 4..5..6+ hours every night, about 7 nights a week. Talk about addiction.. It was fun getting flagged for Time. After that, it just sucked and I should have stopped when it stopped being fun and was more like a task. Eventually I got the picture.. get out while you are still sane!!
ANYWAY: I am better now I am playing a lot of WOW, but just doing antisocial soloing and lots of tradeskills. I have 2 level 80s and a half a dozen 60+ levels and all tradeskill to +400 levels, a bunch to 450. Yes, I play a lot, but I am not obsessed and I can take a day, or a week or two off whenever I feel like not playing.
Obviously I get addicted to things very easily.. like to EQ and VS.. I start, and I feel like I need to be the best! It took a while to see I don't really need to do that.. I can be good without being obsessed I love this place, but I really, really needed to slow down.
>> ^rottenseed: ^NetRunner's got you doing the man's job, eh?
It's ok for NetRunner to speak for himself. Nobody would be mad at him for giving his opinion. I know the 2 had quite the nemesis setup (however 1 sided).
Look, I just have this one question that NEEDS to be answered. If Choggie doesn't combat the evils of NetRunner, then who will?!
First of all, I didn't even talk to NR before I came up here and posted my response. I though I'd just explain why I don't want Choggie back. Not because he was an asshole to Net, because he was an ass to lots of people! I am entitled to my OWN opinion! I happen to agree with NetRunner, and lots of others. That doesn't mean that I don't have my own opinion.
A ban is a ban. Choggie was a jerk and he had ample chances to stay here and behave. You might think NetRunner is evil, but at least he knows what lines not to cross.
If it was up to me, this place would be better without the trolls. Life is too short to let them upset you and get away with it.
Like somebody wise once said: Never argue with an idiot, they just drag you down to their level, and then beat you with experience.
I think Choggie had more than enough second chances. And I don't think this should be a majority vote. I know lots of people like him, and want him back. But obviously he hasn't pissed them off enough YET. Those who don't want him back have a reason why they think the sift is a better place without him.
I don't want him back. Sorry. He never did anything bad to me, but being married to NetRunner - Choggie caused enough problems. If there are 13 people at the moment who never want to see him back, that should be enough. If there is ONE person who doesn't want him back, that should be enough. If he's done something that makes anybody feel like that, then he shouldn't be back.
Not that I am active here at the moment, but I love my hubby, and I can sleep better if I know Choggie isn't back
