[FireIceTalon]

Ive talked to more than a handful of individuals on Bnet that no longer post here specifically because of him. Anyways....

I've talked to two people who no longer frequent Diablo LE because of you.

I usually do not post(This is the LurkerLounge), as Pete would most likely tear my words apart, but this obnoxious display warrants a reply. I do hate replying to your rant. It simply adds fuel to the fire.

I wonder how many people are not playing Diablo on b.net because you ruined the atmosphere in one of the last, popular "legit" channels. Do you wonder the same thing FIT?

Ok, 3 things.

Firstly, most of the people who didnt like me at LE were douche's themselves, in particular Drew, Astra, Mir, etc. You've talked to two people that dont go to LE because of me? Well ive talked to a much larger amount than that (Ive lost count at this point) that dont go there because of Drew, and there was another number (if smaller but certainly more than two) that didnt like Astra. So your first point is without merit.

Second, Deu-1 is more popular nowadays than LE has been in probably the last 6 years, and guess what? I get along with everyone there fine. Maybe you need to rethink that whole tidbit of people not playing d1 anymore because of me, or at least recognize that im certainly not the only problem for LE's demise, especially considering I have been fairly inactive there for over the past year. Primarily because I've had more important obligations in real life than arguing with a bunch of imbeciles in Diablo friggin LE.

And lastly, I've helped to do more in the last 3 years (prior to the past year since as I said before Ive had other obligations) or so to keep the D1 community alive and active via the Fresh Meat site than anyone in LE has. Yes, it is Shade's site, but whose idea do you think it was (at least in part) to host organized PvP events that brought many old school players BACK? Yep, that was partially my idea as well. In fact, when I first met Shade in 2008, it was me who suggested we start something like this. Shade had the platform to do it already, but it was ME who created the spark so it could happen. No one else in LE even thought of suggesting the idea let alone help organizing it. So to answer your question, no, I dont wonder. If they are choosing not to play a 15 year old game because they don't like me (or any other individual), that is their problem not mine. That would be like me quitting D1 cause I hated Drew and his antics (which were the cause for probably 95% of the drama in LE anyway). Think how silly that would be of me.
