Restraining Fist of Death.

The level of idiocy on the Traveller Mailing List is about to push me out the door.

People whinging about their favorite edition of Traveller not being supported, even though it ceased publication in 1987, people whinging about not wanted to have to do any work to use game books, personal insults, complaints about "too many words" in posts explaining complex scientific concepts!

That, and movie reviews, game reviews, and all sorts of Off-Topic crap. A hell of a lot of this can be traced to one idiot.

I'm this close to being off a list I've been on since the first day I had Internet access, about ten years ago.

What is going to happen is I'm pulling back for a while. And I may killfile two certain idiots (Certain idiots? Yes, I'm quite certain they're idiots...)

Going to go take my aggravation out on a brownie. Fear for it.

Also, his repeated statement that he refuses to pay "top dollar" (read: cover price) for new books that do not completely satisfy him has driven me to the brink of asking what does he expect, a blow job?

"If it has CT in it, I will buy it." Great. That's ONE SALE. I'm sure Steve Jackson is wetting himself over that vast untapped market.
