Another vote for zhawks!!!! He'll be in the lead in no time!

Kind of interesting that Zach hasn't responded since his name got put out there repeatedly..........

There isn't any question that he knows his HD. In fact, he's one of the most knowledgeable people playing the game. It's the "I'm right, you're wrong and I refuse to concede an inch" attitude that irritates me the most.

Oh, and the constant habit of stating opinion as fact.

And who could ever forget the whole "jewed 'em down" fiasco. Got banned for that, then after the offensive comment was removed, created an obvious alias (gonarayshell) and tried to deny posting the comment in the first place, even though literally dozens of people had seen it. Took him forever to apologize and I'm still not sure he thinks what he said was wrong. Sad, really.........

Wow, now it all reveals itself.

Again, no saint here, I can be the most stubborn guy you've ever met, but its usually concerning things that I know a lot about or have thought a lot about. And seemingly unlike zhawks, I've conceded others points and have learned and thought more about things because of the users that have disagreed and fought with me.

Zachary and I seem to have the same "problems" however dare I say I'm more tactful than he is. Personally, I'll never forget how he said that 370 seasons was a small sample size when looking to see if a top tiered D1 team ever won 0 games or if a bottom tiered D1 team ever lost 0 games....simply and awfully hilarious. I'll admit when I'm wrong.

It's all in the name, mets.......I'd like to suggest that we rename it the Context Regulated Annoyance Property.......Or perhaps the Subject Harmonized Irritation Trait for those of you who are little edgier.......

+1

I started to work on catchier acronyms, but didnt have time - you did MUCH better

got a good acronym for persistant unfriendly and unwelcome use of real first names?

must work on that....

Persistent, unfriendly, stubbornness scoreboard?

Seriously? He should have been banned permanently. You should see the lengths of posts I have saved.....I'm going to dig that up and post

do zhawks and furry still play? i have cut down worlds and don't think they're in Smith or Crum.

hmm, posting impermissable speech could be seen by some as speaking it diablo, think before you do so

Good point....I was just going to post screen shots, but it's probably not worth it with all the stuff on there.

Hard to imagine anyone likes him

the Z-man can of worms with those posts is best unopened, for the sake of us all

I prefer to stay out of this non-sense with diablo and colonels. Replying to anything they are a part of is only going to prolong the problem.

And to address your other point - I apologized and then quickly self-reported myself and asked for whatever punishment WIS saw fit. Without opening the entire can of worms again there was much much nastier things said about me during that then I said.

I have no further comment about that issue as I have laid it in the past and moved on. I made a mistake and said something I shouldn't have.

well said and well done Zebulon!

(I've decided to amuse myself by making up various names for people)

er, no
