I don't have a chip with Dab. He does with me. Another person whom has had a chip with me is Wolfs Ghost. You may or may not know why that is, but both times I have not let it effect me. Also it seems that Alvin has a chip with me. No offence to any of them. I am just as willing to defend all 3 just as much as I am in willing to roleplay with them. Even where threats were made by one. I'm not here to argue, I am here to play a game. I have tried to explain to people why I did what I did origionally. I am thankfull that I am not the only person whom thinks that both of their responses, Dab and Alvin's, were sarcastic and abrasive. I have also come from a background where this so called amannerisms are not accepted. I'm sorry but it happens. I've seen one employee run out of a meeting when someone was being sarcastic and abrasive to them. I have also seen meetings where people lose their tempers. So the arguement for saying repersentation between two companies must me sweet as sugar is deluded of reality of what really happens. I've been in a meeting where half way through we all wanted to punch each others guts out and were being very rude about it. Afterwards, I will tell you this now, all thsoe that took part in the meeting felt that they had their voices heard and was proud that the meeting went the way it did.
Why I know these things is because I have been a committie member to a company. So I know how internal and external communications are like, how they come about, and seen much more worse things done and said then what roleplay I saw aimed at Kim and then again from how I orginially posted my reply to Alvin and Dab. I know that Dab is in schooling years so won't have a true idea of it, though I tried to explain it to the best of my ability out of roleplay and he made it clear that he is not happy with it. Same for Alvin. I have tried to explain it to them both, in regards to real diplomacy, that I have seen it here on the forums before, i've had it done to me in the past with one of my characters being called a whining baby. And also in respect of what the intentions are as written by myself and by those of whom who are in that type of position in real life or have been. As they would agree to me in my opinions that I have voiced already.
I am only going by what I have seen and how I was taught to handle situations like that. If you view it as any other way then sorry but you need to learn a few things, likely to be learn't with age. (Yes it is blunt, but it is true.)
