While I despise trolling, I really don't think that is what princepawn has been up to.

Unfortunately, that's exactly what he's coming across as doing. At least, to Ovid and myself. =)

I feel like I was led into a trap by deliberately increasingly insipient posts (roughly outlined here and here, under writeups). Suddenly, the trap designer springs forth and exclaims: "It was all a ruse! A clever game to expose your insecurity and my righteousness." That is exactly the impression I got. If that wasn't princepawn's intended message, I'd say he needs to take another shot at explaining things. He has a long way to go, in my book.

I understand your pride at making abbot, and your reasoning here. But I see nothing prideful about a site that spends all it's resources defending it's core purpose and catering to one or two individual and their seemingly inherent inability to look up anything for themselves. Instead they rant and rail, and have others do their work while not even taking a stab at the problem for themselves. As I've said before, this is excusable for newbies and monks once and a while. princepawn has been doing it on a consistent basis since May.

Nobody likes feeling conned. I implore you to prove otherwise. And I would ask princepawn to give us another explanation, one that doesn't involve scheming and veiled insults.
