Princepawn, I have sent you many /msg's telling you that I agree with you despite your posts accumulating severe -- ratings. You have a following of 'negative personality voters'. In short, there are a lot of people here who hate you.

I am posting this publicly because I feel that this time you have gone too far. Last time I sent you such a message, you responded with "yes, but calling chromatic inane was immature and worthy of --".

In this case I agree with everyone else. This case is worthy of -- because you refer to "you people" and you mock the original poster. You ask us to "excuse" "this frustrated post." There is no excusing here. With voting, you are subject to the opinions of everyone else here. Don't ask us to excuse you, and don't be an asshole.

tilly, one of the people you call by name here, has told me many times that it is often best to wait a few minutes before posting, and revise what you were going to say. I think you could learn from this process and not be so inflammatory. Not gain so many --'s. Not be the 'village ass' (which you have been referred to).

Consider this a notice. I have normally supported you, but this time I cannot. I hope you take notice of this and change your behaviour accordingly.

brother (yes, brother) dep.
