Counter-productive RANT... Please ignore.

I found using the voice of Denis Leary while reading your letter made for a
very interesting read.

AMEN!!! HALLELUJIA!!!!

Preach it loud, brother!!!

Next time this infernal notion comes up again, I suggest a game of
Whack-A-Mole with threats, browbeating and personal insults. Maybe then
people will shut the hell up about Lucita being a goddamned antitribu.

thanks for sticking up for the CCG. as for Dennis, i think it's better
from that comic who did the PenzOil commercials (I can't remember his
name, but you know who i mean 'and unlike that uncle no one talks about
this actually works...')

to conclude: "V:tM IS fun, why don't you go play it?" [and leave us
alone]

Can't read sarcasm on the net, so just in case: that *is* Leary.

Ouch ouch ouch. There *are* those of us that like both *and* play both
*and* don't harp on the two not always matching up.

Besides, I think Jyhad will take whoever it can get to boost
popularity. "Beggars... "

i'm in that category. Just annoys me that people don't get that they
are both fun and different games. last was just a kind of "if you think
it's stupid, (and wont let us explain) stop the maddness." probably to
harsh, especially without explination, but i've had no coffee today.

For that to happen, V:tM would have to match up with itself first, then,
wouldn't it...?

<Thump> If they want it to follow V:tM _that_ badly, then it is a detriment
to the game's popularity, not a boost...

That being said, this side thread is getting way too productive to be a
counter-procductive RANT ;-)
