I'm not familiar with your play as I don't think I have really encountered you in-game. My intent was not to single you out--you just provided the statement. No judgment of your character was intended.
What was important to me was to get this out in the open so that some of the people who have genuinely been harassed (and there are some) don't get booed and discredited and flamed off before their points are heard.
What I would like to see--and I believe I have--is some of the more prominent players not just staying silent or nodding their heads ("the silent accord of the crowd" as pink Floyd so aptly stated it) when the juggernaut starts grinding and presumes to speak for "all". So I am encouraged.
No matter how you personally feel or whether you have ever "chosen" to be a part of it, the problems I brought up do exist. They needed to be discussed and your comment, even unintended, reflected a very real sentiment with some here.
I'm not commenting much on this thread now but to say its not "personal" nor do I think its a simple black and white/us and them issue.
It simply is an issue that hopefully all of us will consider when we play and post now.
My only remaining issue with anyone at this point is the devolution to personal insults and harassment to "win". We can all agree to disagree but no player here gets to vote on whether or not the other players count--We all do*--and no one has a right to try to crap all over someone's day out of pure spite and call it "I'm right".
*(barring the drive by cheat/hack/pvp malcontents who always blow through every server).
I'm just glad it got discussed openly and some people moved. That's progress.
