One problem - it's pretty clear that you are posting excessively vitriolicly
in Nomicron. Maybe it's because they pissed you off, but if you weren't a
troll before you are one now.

-Do you blame the bear, then? Again, no hostility, I'm asking this as a philosophical question. Do you blame the bear for snapping back?-

If the analogy were accurate, I would not blame the bear. But you're missing one key thing: *the bear is not chained*.

You can quit Nomicron anytime you want to.

You could have done so back when it became clear that they were going to impeach you.
-Yes, but I was just beginning to have fun then.-

But you didn't.
-I'll tell you why in a couple of days.-

You decided, for reasons I can't begin to fathom, to hang around making life miserable for them and for us.
-Don't ever say that again. I didn't do ANYTHING with the intent of damaging this game. Talk to our dear friend deltanine for that one. Don't accuse me of things other people do.-

I have heard nothing that indicates that there is any reason for me to dislike Nomicron, except that you hate them. You have called them stupid, conservative, ignorant, even fascist, but you have yet to provide any evidence for you case.
-You don't listen when I do. Go join if you want to see what I don't like. And stop attacking me - I'm the same damn person here as there. Is that so hard to get?-

And quite frankly, I don't want you to.

What I do want you to do is to stop clogging the discuss list with your rants against them. Before you joined their game, as far as I can tell, you were happy, they were happy, and we were happy. Now you're enraged, we're irritated, and they're paranoid.
-I'm TRYING to stop. If you'd like me to stop, stop coming up with new and improved ways of stabbing at a sore spot. I mean it. I've said several times that I don't want B involved, I don't want this to be between two Nomics, I don't want everyone to see any more of this. Now it's YOUR turn.-

What good does it do anyone for you to try to fan flames between us? I don't hate Nomicron, and I don't think they hate me, and I especially don't think that your ranting and raving will inspire any such hatred.

I don't presume to know what happened in Nomicron to cause this feud between you and them. I also don't presume to care. What happened between you and them is exactly that - between you and them. I don't want to hear how much they hate you, or how much you hate them, or how much you want us to hate them too.

So quit their game, or stay if you want to, but either way, don't bother us with it.
-I'd love to say something to those last few paragraphs, but they've left me too angry to think straight. Sorry, everyone, I know that's not a diplomatic thing to say, but it's the truth.-
