Check his spelling and grammar. I am a foreigner, English is not my first language, and I am sure I have the ability to express my opinion better than him.
I have only the passages you have quoted to go on. But based on those, his grammar is perfectly acceptable for a chatroom or b.net channel. What he means to say comes through very clearly. I can be picky about grammar on a forum where people should take time to fully express their ideas, but a chat room is less like writing a letter and more like talking on a telephone.
Once he appeared in DSF-1 asking for a duel or other silly purpose and was almost immediately expelled.
This doesn't impress me much. :) I've been squelched by plenty of people in DSF-1, and debated others countless times about their treatment of channel newcomers.
Also, considering all the crap he was saying ( which would require an intense long term treatment of Jarulfinization to make his brain work as it should )
For better or worse, 'Jarulfinization' is what separates people around here from most Diablo players. We know how the game works because we sit on the shoulders of giants. Early DSFers didn't have that edge, and they came up with some of the most absurd theories about game mechanics that you can possibly imagine. People named their characters things like ABABABA thinking that alphabetical priority would give them better items! So it's not surprising that there would be long-time players who have never seen the code demystified, who believe that they can trust their memories and several years of empirical knowledge to fully explain the game.
None of this makes me think much less of the guy. The strong possibility that he is a cheater does. But unless I actually run into him sometime, I'd probably reserve judgment.
my final word is: he is scum no different than the average B.Net cheater.
You may very well be right. If so, it's a real shame. The name LunarMoon was once worthy of respect.
