Sorry I haven't been around much

Post by Darth Wong »

For those of you who have PM'd me in the last week without response, I just wanted to point out that I've been very busy and I haven't had time to do much of anything on the boards. Hopefully, this situation will clear up soon.

Not the first time you've been too busy, probably not the last, either.
Thanks for checking in, though.

Mike! Good to have you back if only for awhile. This board just isn't as fun without the Imperial Smackdown.

Did you get the goodies I sent?

Yes! It's very cool, thank you! I haven't seen anything which is screenshot-worthy yet, but I did see the Battle of Wolf 359 again. I had forgotten that Sisko's ship went into the battle still carrying its civilian passengers. The part where Sisko screams "Get the civilians to the escape pods" after the ship is hit is just priceless. Such stupidity ... :)

I'll try to free up time to take a good look at those discs soon.

PS. You smoke cigarettes, don't you?

Well, there's plenty of good SWvST stuff with the Jem'Haddar collision on the season finale of Season 2, the Lakota straffing on Paradise Lost, the Battle of Bajor in the season premiere of Season 4, the infamous TDiC incident in Season 3 and a bunch of others that I can't remember.

No, I don't smoke cigarettes, just cigars. :) How did you guess?

EDIT: www.startrek.com has a good set of epsiode synopsis if you don't want to slog through every single episode looking for good stuff. Oh, and no rush on getting the stuff back, especially if you are busy with other things. Like I said, feel free to keep them for at least a few months.

Seriously though, I'm sure this board can survive without every second of your attention. :) After all, a man must have priorities, right? ;) Go take care of what needs to be done man, we'll still be here.

I'm sure I'll find it :)

Don't get offended or anything, but I smelled it as soon as I opened the box. Let's just say that the CD wallet smells like a smoker's CD wallet. Smokers become accustomed to the smell of tobacco; I don't think they realize how easily a nonsmoker can detect it (even on a piece of vinyl that's been in the mail for a week).

Thanks, man.

Figured it was something like that. Nah, not offended by it, despite the social stigma that comes with being a smoker, I don't really mind being open about it.

I can't say smoking is good for me, but I don't think a cigar every three or four days is going to kill me anytime soon. Especially with all the assholes that look at me funny for smoking a cigar then later destroy their livers by drinking themselves stupid every night. :wink:

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red
