Unless I have some sort of personal relationship with the person in question, I really don't care. I don't even know you...
Consider my thread on the official forums. I like to think I'm level-headed and eloquent, but it was a complete disaster, from the perspective of attracting attention and garnering excitement without alienating Balmung players. What I wrote was read by prospective Gilgamesh players as I had intended it, and read by career Balmung players as something way more malevolent than intended.
A good case example of the problem we're faced with. It is easy to say write one thing and have it read as another. This isn't anyone's fault, unless you were to blame the human species in its entirety.
If anything, this entire thread seems like a troll post to me.
