But I wouldn't put the setting up here and ask for ideas or feedback or oooh oooh look at this.

I didn't tell him it's not suitable for here.
Just sayin'.

What's with all of the personal comments, most of which are based either on superficial or blatantly incorrect information?
What personal comments? I didn't comment on your personality beyond what you have made known to me in this thread. To be completely honest, I called you an 'elitist' initially as a sort of compliment (believe it or not) - because honestly your alternate history essays are far more academic/plausible/historically interesting than what I was proposing (I am not being facetious here!). Funny, how I received PMs from users on this forum saying I should ignore you and that you are arrogant. shrug. I didn't call you arrogant and I still have yet to form a concrete opinion about you. I just don't like how you came in here and pushed me around like that, without attempting to understand what I was talking about.
I know if I was writing a plausible althist, Dachs, you would be the first person I would value advice from. I told you to 'shoo' because I knew how utterly ridiculous my timeline was.

@das: You seem like a reasonable fellow.
Just trying to understand why this happened, really, personalities aside.
So please, I invite you to read over what was said and how it was said. It began with me asking for where NA tribes were located, which ones I was missing, etc. - then went to me asking for any specific suggestions on how I can make the timeline more ridiculous. I may have overreacted, but I don't think my reactions were necessarily unjustified or completely unwarranted. Put yourself in my shoes. New to this forum. Politely asking the community for some suggestions and even help. Then suddenly, I get attacked or ridiculed - and remember that I don't know people's personalities. Maybe Dachs is the way he is, and everyone else has come to accept it. But I have no idea who this person is, so his comments seemed offensive.
@Everyone: I have erred, and I admit it. Based on the first page of this thread, which reads:
This is the official discussion thread for NESing related topics that do not belong in any particular thread. It should not be used to flame, spam, or discuss non-NESing topics.
I was entirely wrong to post things about my PBEM game here, and ask for suggestions regarding it. It was illogical, and as das has said, in the wrong place.

@Shadowbound (since this
is related to NESing):
Your cheap shots at me during this whole episode are noted, and let it be known that you came into
my PreNES thread, spouting that I had ruined a system and was doing nothing good, and wanting it changed to how you wanted it (while the majority of players wanted things kept as they were). It is over. You lost. I didn't accept your ideas. And by the way, you didn't express them as sincere ideas. You came into my thread and just wrote: "You have ruined a perfectly good system... etc. etc. etc." You didn't offer anything to my NES, and to be honest, I am quite happy you are not involved in it given your attitude at that time. Then you have the nerve to tell me in this thread that I am prone to overreacting (when it was you, who when your ideas did not go over well with me or the other players, decided to not play). And I was new to this forum and GMing that kind of game and obviously trying to figure it out, and you were completely unhelpful. You hadn't even signed up for my NES (!), hadn't even expressed interest, and you were only degrading it without offering anything else. Again- in my PreNES thread. You bringing it up here and making a shot at me is a very similar tactic to the one you used when you spammed my PreNES thread. K? Tnx.
Why can't we just stay away from each other? Sheesh.

I don't know why it became the way it did, but let me say this, as a relative 'newb' to this forum: When I came here at first, there were those who were welcoming, and there were those who were not. I think it is important, for new players to a forum like this, for all of the community to remember the fact that new people don't know who you are. You may have tons of 'internet cred' in this place, but that doesn't mean I know if you are being a jerk just because that's your personality (which is fine). As nutranurse said, the Internet is a terrible place to read another human being. Despite this, if you come into my home, I'll welcome you and hear what you have to say or add to my community. If you come into my home, and you run around and poop on my carpet, I won't. I'd like to think I came in here with an open mind and wanting to learn.
That is all, folks. Drama? Maybe. Did it have to be? No.
