I have seen people approach you in a civil manner for conversation, in fact usually it's ertyu. Others like sess and sephyg who make topics directed at you and others also. However, every conversation I've seen involving you that has gone in a negative direction has done so because you've said something to spark it, intentionally or not. You act like you're self-aware but you really are not. I've unintentionally pissed people off without realizing it at the time and when they overreact, I re-overreact to them, but in the end I can go back and see what I've said/done and realize that I was the cause of the problem inadvertantly. You are either unable or unwilling to do the same, which is why I find it difficult to believe that your negative interactions with people are in line with "your life moving forward."

I do not see why a simple argument on the internet over trivial matters like video games must be considered a "problem." It's not me who should change, it's people who should get a clue. Why does everyone take everything so personally around here? For instance, I laugh at people buying the same thing over and over again and some Pokemon fans (for one) immediately take offence. Why? I certainly would not take personal offence if someone took a stab at a general group I associate myself with (let's say, Final Fantasy VII fans). I may post a bit to defend the group in response, but I certainly would not get mad and start calling the other person an "idiot."

That's the big difference between me and a great part of the board - I can make the difference between trivialities and stuff that really counts.

I am a very complex person, and what is seen here is merely a fraction of who I am. The general messages I spread here are:

1. To always think for yourself and not blindly follow the herd
2. To be yourself, to stay true to yourself and not be two-faced for some inane reason (like e-popularity)
3. To treat everyone well (unless they are currently doing enough to deserve otherwise) and not just your circle of friends

And, of course... To have fun! This is, after all, a gaming message board on the internet

To number 3, for instance, if someone you don't like much because he is a deluded Zelda fanboy and you dislike the series, and you've argued and even called each other names many times, asks for computer help, you help him because the context is completely different. You are helping the person, not the Zelda fanboy.

The rest are quite self-explanatory.
