we always have to have one...remember the fury days? (or daze in his case)....
the interesting thing about furry_nips is he ended up an alright dude. one time he posted this one post that offered an incredibly valuable insight into the then-recent d2/d3 changes, and that post spurred me to go investigate something and the result helped hugely. most folks wouldn't have shared something like that. at the time, he was still considered a total idiot and just written off, but he had actually become a decent guy by then.
i used to lump all 'the idiots' together, but i don't really anymore. i guess i have sort of softened on those young bomb thrower types (furry, colonels, tmacfan), the story of young folks joining a forum community and going off the rails, before gaining some respect for that community and moderating their approach, its as old as the internet itself. all those guys were decent members of the community before they quit.
real wardo, i sort of found him annoying but i don't think he was an ******* as much as he kinda made no sense. i definitely wouldn't lump him with the rest, he seemed like a nice enough guy. fake wardo, i don't really get how that is fun for whoever that is, but at least he's not a total *******, derailing any decent conversation.
i've concluded, its really the ettaexpresses of the world who are the problem. god i hated that guy. to be so strong headed while being so clueless, and having zero ability to change one's opinion in the slightest on even one subject, that was sort of terrifying. that's the sort of dude i could see shooting up a church.
of course, you also have lunatics like me, but i like to think i am less of an idiot than clinically insane
