As I said in my earlier post, I am not online much. I usually only visit the fora once a day, early in my morning, so it was interesting, to say the least, to log on at 4.30am-ish, and read the posts.
I'm quite amused by all the posts from people giving their opinion that I should not be giving my opinion. And the thread police telling me that I am not the thread police, and why I am not allowed to post things they don't like.
And others posting here and then running back to the Conversational thread to muster support before making another sortie.
I was not in a mellow mood yesterday, I apologise for that, I am normally more tolerant. To be clear, I was not critical of those who ask for games, nor of those who gift them, only of greed, as drealmer7 noted.
I don't like greed. I am always straight and I don't sneak around, so if I don't like something, I'll say so.
But, for the record, GOG gives people the right to +1 or -1 to posts anonymously, so it seems strange to criticise them for exercising that right here or in other threads.
tinyE: At least we now know who two off the asshats are that go around derepping people for asking for things in a gifting thread. :P
New word for me - 'asshat' - I guess it's an insult. I am broadening my vocabulary here.
For the record, I don't 'go around derepping people' for asking for things. From what I hear, that has gone on for years, and I only started using the fora during the last insomnia sale
I visited this thread for the first time a few weeks ago when some people here posted in the Conversational thread about how they were being unfairly derepped in the gifting thread by a nameless 'gang'. I looked for this thread so that I could see for myself.
I have never even seen any other gifting threads (apart from @Sinistar's temporary summer sale one, that was sadly invaded by scammers), let alone derepped people there. And, as I said, I have no objections whatsoever to people asking for gifts, nor do I derep them. It's excessive greed I was talking about.
I congratulate all those who gift here for their kindness and generosity.
Hope you all have a good day / afternoon / evening. :-)
