Going to assume you mean Mercedes Lackey.

If this assumption is correct, look again bub.

Other than making ONE mention that her last book made best seller over on the Titan forums, she has NOT been hawking her product and was doing her best to put her own name and credibility on the line to support the movement to save CoH.

You may not like her work. That's cool.
But out and out accusing someone of trying to profiteer off using CoH's closure as advertisement is just outrageous.

No. I'm a Chicagoan.

There's a subtle, but IMPORTANT difference.

ALWAYS remember this.

Chicago Deep Dish is Chicago Deep Dish.

Chicago pizza is something else entirely.
It's a thin THIN crust pizza. And it's damnably hard to find the really good stuff nowadays. Usually it's some hole-in-the-wall pizza joint.

NY pizza? Bleargh! I spent a year and a half in NY. That pathetic pie they slop in NY isn't pizza. I mean, it's better than starving (but only slightly). But it's not pizza.

First. I wasn't insulting you. I was making an observation.

But if the foo *****, Cinderella...

Second. *I* was the word filter. Not the forum.

Third. I'm not going to circumvent word filters. Sorry. If you feel the overriding need to, knock yourself out.

Fourth. If you want these things just so you can KNOW you're being insulted and justify (at least to yourself) that you're SO put-upon, tough ****. If you REALLY want to know that bad, come down to Chicago, I'll take you out to lunch and insult you to your face so there's no equivocation on the matter. Work for your wangst.

Agreed.

On this, at least, we agree.

And what I'm saying is the same thing goes for you.

Yet there are people here who've made a crusade of basically talking down to others. Simply because they don't like how those people are handling this situation.

I'm not telling you to stop voicing your opinion. I'm saying your position is, at best, mildly hypocritical.

Likewise. Yet, apparently you dislike what I've said. You've had a negative reaction to my words.

Why is that?

Again, it's not so much what you're saying (though there's something in there too, even if it happens to be an unintentional undercurrent). It's HOW some people are saying it.

Nobody likes being talked down to.

No these are NOT "your" boards. Nor are they "mine". Nor are they "ours". If you think this, you're already so far off-base that it isn't even funny.

As for your personal background. While I appreciate your origins, your story is no better or worse than many who come through here. Save, maybe that it should inform you that being a blunt *** is counterproductive in some instances.

Sorry that not everyone has your level of "clarity" on this.

This has been a part of people's lives for nearly a decade.
And the crew at Paragon has been SUPERB at establishing an emotional, community connection with its player base.
So pardon them if they're upset to the point of outrage.

But please understand, the whole "I'm above it so you're an idiot." posture, even if that's not how you intended it to come out, simply rings hollow and reeks of bridge-base dweller.

If you don't like how people are reacting? Fine! Make your point and move on. Coming back over and over and over to grind people's faces in it?

This shows that the people you're arguing with aren't the ONLY ones with an emotional investment in here someplace.

And IBTT, this isn't directed solely at you. So don't be totally offended (well, a bit of mild taking-of-offense should be a given) at what I'm saying.

Better to be silent and thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

This applies to all sides in this little debate.

Their LinkedIn profiles show only the change in status (well, WarWitch hasn't updated hers yet). But no movement on the employment front.

With Win7, it's going to want to make a recovery partition on the disk.

Sorry.

Honestly? If XP was working right it should see all 3GB. It's when you get above 3GB of physical RAM that reporting gets...funky.

This is why I hate the consumer-grade Norton and all grades of McAfee. Stupid **** like this.

Yeah. Stuff like this is why I avoid using their products at all possible costs.

Or buy yourself a modest-sized external HD. This allows you to get stuff off your system so you don't have any qualms about nuking from orbit and doing a clean install.

No problem. If my relatively modest body of knowledge (and occasional Wild *** Guesses) have helped, I'm glad. I'm just a big fan of stuff that just works how it's supposed to.

Over here? Yeah.

'nuff said.
