Well done VikingHorde!!!

[The Blind King of Bohemia]

I think this topic is getting WAY out of hand and completely deviating from VH's success. A lot of profanities and allegations are being thrown around, which aren't doing anyone any good.

Von Cockmyre has only posted once and it looks like he's not going to again. I realise that by flaming VH's mod it is easy to pair him with Duke Dick, but he never specified any mods. Now if he would've said BKB's then I think those allegations would have had a more solid base.

AA you make some interesting points, but they have little foundation I feel. Understand I don't have control over what DD posts. I've conversed with him over PM many times but I wouldn't say that I know him well enough to try to restrain him. However, I'd also like to think I know him well enough to say that he isn't the type of guy to create multiple accounts to flame people. He's already shown he could do that as DD if he wanted to, so I'm not sure why he'd do that anyway. Masaki86's job description was as a "mod-insulter", which cried out for trouble. That guy had a pop at everyone - Me, VH and WesW, so he certainly didn't appear to show any bias! As you can see, Masaki86, Von Cockmyre and Duke Dick have three very distinct personalities, so it is at this stage unfair to say that they are one person.

I think the main link between Masaki and DD is their foul language. Masaki has posted nothing but negative comments, but DD only seems to use foul language when people get to him, which with his temperament tends to be quite easily. But DD has contributed more to the community - he has over 200 posts and not all of them are related to flaming VH's mod. He's posted in other parts of the forum also, which suggests there is more to his character surely. Plus he has stated in this thread that his thoughts on the XL mod have u-turned and that he is now enjoying it. True he preceded that with a questionable comment, but lets just take things one step at a time.

I perfectly understand VH's frustrations - while these three may have been more blatant at times with their insults, I've had to put up with many less vulgar negative comments in my thread since the mod's conception, and the lack of gratitude for the hard work does tend to annoy after a while, which some of you may have regretably witnessed in my recent knee-jerk reactions in other threads, which I apologize for. In an odd way it can be worse, because they are more serious comments by proper members rather than just the odd flaming newbie, who probably doesn't even mean what he says. Subsequently, I can emphatize with VH's and his fellow supporters anger on this one, but, although hard, its probably better you ignore the more petty remarks and only respond to ones you feel hit closer to the bone.

I can't honestly see a day when DD and VH will patch up their differences, but surely a ceasefire should be called and this thread closed before it descends into chaos.
