Re: Good Post / Bad Post!

@Gate Troll:

First of all, I am not the one who "thumbs down-ed" your recent post. Want to get that out of the way.

I believe that the way that your previous post, notwithstanding your personal credo of being "TLHH's Own Conservative Nutjob,"  came off as being a little, well, crazy. Rather than saying, "Wow, the new system is any easy way to circumvent the old karma system and damage or improve someone's gold stock," it came off as:

"thanks for this crazy system, I'm going to up Kralik's total to 200 gp."

I think the best thing for everyone to do is to forget about the previous gold system and move on to the new system.

Trust me, I know that I can be a little...blunt (direct? rude? #$&*@!-ish?) and I suspect that my gold will suffer for the browbeatings I deliver. But the easiest way to avoid that is to lighten up in general. Maybe you should look at the new gold system as a reason to start your profile anew--you know, remove the Wonder Showzen gif from your profile and put a picture of Gandalf or whatever on there. Just a thought.

I will also say that, in spite of my directness (bluntness? rudeness? #$&*@!-ness?), I don't hold any grudges against members here and even if there are people that I like less than others, it is not worth my time to spam people's gold piles.

P.S., SmaugTheGoldHorder is the newest incarnation of "The New Guy" or "Sweetness 34." Sigh...

P.S., Number 2, Deleting the post shows that you do care about your gold count and your standing in this site. Just an observation.
