Zabali,

Once again, you are confusing what you are with what people perceive. You may BE an idealist. You are being PERCEIVED as naive.

And now I have another clue as to why **Primaflora** doesn’t like me all that well. Twigged onto it before, but eh…

**Zabali** , your posting style is YOURS… it is UNIQUE. So what if someone doesn’t like you giving so many virtual hugs to people? As long as you’re not exclusively posting stuff like:

> [@](#):
>
> **{{{{insert poster’s name here}}}}**

… then it should be A-OK. (and you’re not, so don’t worry!)

And as for **Desmostylus** , he seems like an okay dude to me. Hopefully, you two can sort out any differences you’ve been having.  
You can’t randomly fling out insults such as “crazy bitch” just coz you’re on a message board and you’re reasonably anonymous, though. That’s my take on it.

F\_X

This is a viciously accurate remark. Thank you, **gobear**.
