You know what, I think I'm through with this whole column thing.  All it does is make people angry, and I don't need that in my life.

I think it's more it exposes your lack of a sense of humor when it comes to how people react to your articles.

Fish, I wasn't angry. Just taken aback by your reaction. (I felt like -you- were mad, though; that's what baffled me.) I count you as a friend and, well, I'm not in the habit of going around offending my friends. Somehow, I just don't find that very fun.

So I basically despaired of being able to figure out how my comment sparked this, is all. 'Cuz I'd like to keep you as a friend and even get to know you better.

I love your columns, and I'm sure a lot of people would be sad if you stopped writing them. Including me.

And yet again, JP proves himself master of the inappropriate comments. :P
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

Hey, he posts again. With punctuation this time.

By the by, Fish, I don't think that Shrain meant to be offensive. I don't agree with her position, but it seems she was taking up for you more than anything. I certainly don't think this should be a reason for you to stop writing a column that everyone seems to enjoy so much. But, once again, I am a little insane, so I may be wrong.

ms fish for real, we like your articles and love the comments, we need more people like you and articles like this to show people that we are not wierd devil-worshiping geeks that lives in their sisters basement and have like no lives and no matters. I for one enjoy the thursday night games and i like that a actual women would hang out to play. I mean i didnt start playing until i got married and introduced to the game by a flyer in a comic store that i was finally able to get the courage to go into. Like everyone looks at me and the first thing they say is "you must be the first black guy i know who listens to hip-hop, plays basketball, and loves to watch football and play d&d and reads comics.  At first i would keep the fact i game or read comics hidden from people i date and people at work so they would not think i was "strange"[ but since i have been like hanging out at ive have met some of the best friends and people ive ever known. I check this sight everyday to get peoples reactions to stress of being a "normal geek". when i was in ny none of my friends gamed or read comics so it was really lonly going to the comic store by myself and not having anyone to relate and since i didnt look like a geek those kids in my school would were into gaming thought i was just one of those people who just wanted to make fun and they gave me the biggest like im better than you atitude(which was dumb since i was a foot taller and bigger and could beat the heck out of them but anyway.)so it was until ten years later that i actually got into gaming. So from hip-hop loving geek tahnks for you cool inspiring articles. And if people cant take that then that is their problem.....dang dirty orc-loving monsters.
say what again?

Yeah, well, by "people," I meant me.  Lol.

Actually, I think Sprig's the one who hit it on the nose.  I don't take well to people criticising my friends.  Ever.  In any situation.  Even when they deserve it.  

So I apologize for my reaction and will try to do better in the future.  

And in Mockman's defense, he did have some punctuation in there.
