Ya know, I almost went to bed and let this go, but I couldn't since you seem to want to distort things.?? FIRST, I did not post that comment that you choose to highlighte in my first response to this thread creator.?? That comment about his/her maturity was the THIRD message so no I was not aggressive until they choose to be.?? SECOND, it is not MY directory.?? That directory was something that was initially created by me and has since been edited by Pooldude.?? He has creative control of it and has modified it several times.?? Yes I can add a thread since it is always better to have 2 sets of eyes instead of just one when trying to keep the forum current but the final say is with Pooldude.?? Would I like people to use the Directory - Yes.?? Is it for some??glory I would get from it - no.??And as for the bandwidth comment... the thread is already created??and it is already pointless AND I would have stopped posting long ago if????you did not find it necessary to try to change the facts.??

Okay... gonna make this short because I am tired and I am going to bed.?? I am not a hypocrite - I simply follow the rule "do unto others as they have done unto you".?? And I state again, I am not an aggressively mean person.?? Aggressive means marked by combative readiness, militant, self-assertive... I could go on.?? Which when you take into context my statement - I am saying I do not make a comment on a thread to be definsive and ready for combat.?? I make the comment onto where the actual question should go... and I hope Pooldude does not get upset that I am going to quote my email but here it goes...??

And I quote from my email a comment I received from our editor, "Please in the future if you see a repeat thread, don't add it in unless there's something different with it.?? If it's just "I think Aang's firebending teacher will be Zuko!" then kindly point them in the direction of the first thread posted on the subject and don't bother adding it to the directory.?? Thanks!"

So as you can see from my initial post to this thread creator, I did just that.?? The rest has all been taken out of contexts and should be left to rest.?? Good night.

You know at first I was going to send you an email because I feel this is utterly ridiculous that you dug this thread up since it was about dead (last post being 2:37am and it had made it to the end of page 2)... but then I realized all you want to do is argue so I will appease your simplistic ways.

I did what I was ASKED TO DO by our editor.?? If you didn't get it the first time, I'll spell it out for you.?? The quote I posted in my last message was from Pooldude's email.?? Let me break it down for you... go all the way back to my FIRST MESSAGE (message #7)... what did I do... I provided links of SIMLIAR threads where a question could be posted.?? I am not MOLESTING newcomers, you have a perverse mind if you think assisting and molesting are in any way related.

And people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.?? What are you "Keeper of the Newcomers"??? I did not attack this thread creator first, I gave advise... he took that advise and attacked me.?? I DEFINITELY did not attack you, you took it upon yourself to try to belittle me when I was, and I will say it again, DOING WHAT I WAS ASKED TO DO.?? And as for my comment on aggressively mean person... I never said I couldn't be a mean person, I just said I wasn't aggressive about it.?? If somebody CONTINUES to try to wage a war against me, I will continue to defend myself.

And look again... was I the one that did not give this thread a chance??? READ IT AGAIN... four people posted before me totally saying it was worthless.?? Why don't you go up and quote their messages and continue your "protective" ways?.??

I on the other hand, invited the thread creator to post his question in a thread where he would not get negative attention but a positive answer... and this is what I get for it?!?!?? Funny how I became the victim here, you really should look at the entire thread before you accuse somebody of attacking a new subject or a new poster.?? This is not the first thread where I have provided links to people getting slammed for asking a question.?? However, this is the first thread where I was attacked for doing so, and that says something in itself.

So go on and ramble your rambling ways... because I am done with this.?? YOU stated, DON'T POST, but that statement from you after this thread was dead is the true hyprocrisy here.??
