I don't recall saying I'm condemning you for them, but I guess my venting could be taken that way. However, I have a right to my own opinion, as you all are as well, and this was it.
Note, the thing that I said irritated me, was the treatment when the one who 'pushed you past your limits' wasn't even around, and yet you all go into bash fests, instead of just not bringing that one up. Somehow, I'm still missing the logic...
We do it to others (a couple certain reviewers come to mind), but I haven't seen you come to their defense. And I don't see how it would be different, as some of us have lowered our opinions of him to the level of our opinions of those reviewers.
And would you rather we did it when he was around, and risk a possible all-out flame war/fight between all of us, with people taking sides and possibly breaking the whole thing apart?
please tell me why my being a little unhappy isn't a proper response to this...
First remind me when and where I ever said something like that.
Second of all, I've never told anyone this but I have been in your shoes, in a somewhat similar situation wherein I was the one trying to be a neutral party, and it didn't work out. I won't share the details but the person in question went from a friend to an annoyance to finally an enemy. Lately our mutal friend has been at that second stage to a lot of us, so we treat him as such.
But as you said earlier, it's my opinion. I just decided to offer the other side of the argument after the first commenter said that maybe you shouldn't hang out with such "arseholes."
Obviously that wasn't such a good idea. I wouldn't have done it if I knew beforehand I was going to get jumped on.
I never said you said it, Iap. But it was borderlining coming across as offering the opposite side, or coming across like I was in the wrong. I didn't mean to sound like I was responding to the second, if I did. As for the second thing, I only said that because often people don't think to try and look at it from the other's perspective, thus I made my point on that. My apologies that you've been in that situation before as well, although mind you, I am striving to avoid the same outcome
