Edit Reason: Fixed Encoding
)
Elad,
I was hoping that I wouldn't have to continue this, but your recent forum post edit shows you still don't get it.
I myself have have started two failed clans, but each time, instead of hating on those more successful than myself, I used it as a chance to improve and learn from my mistakes - that is the real route to success. The reason I make Steve's responses so harsh is that, even in real life, I am a bit put off and annoyed at your comments, as they are mainly never constructive and are seemingly put in place just to aggravate. On top of this, I have the hope that you will see that there is actually a consequence for irrational posting on the internet, as many people seem to think there isn't.
Additionally, you are applying to join us. I am completely within my right to respond to someone if they insult us within our own territory, and they expect to be accepted as one of our own.
Your comments are purely unwarranted and random, and that is my biggest problem with what you are doing; it spreads negative vibes with no beneficiaries.
Furthermore, you can't say that that the reason you created the clan was 'to see the response what would happen when a low player made a clan'... you just, don't do that; you set up a clan to role play, not to test sociology. This is further reinforced by the fact you bumped it twice with 'improvements', attempting to get attention and attract members. I don't care that your clan failed, but as soon as you start criticising us out of no where, of course I'm going to look for a cause of it; I was right, as you admitted.
As for your claim that we fail to keep OOC in OOC, you signed up as 'Jamie Hynerman', and are therefore dealt by with by Steve Burwin. I try to stay as in-character as possible, however it is hard to sometimes considering the grey area that is the forums. I consider clan pages websites, in which people can post 'comments'.
If anyone doesn't understand the difference between IC and OOC, it's you, as last time Steve Burwin denied you, you threatened to contact Valve and have me banned for harassment.
There seems to be a problem with the community these days not being able to differentiate IC from OOC, as has been the case previously. It's such a shame, as this fact eliminates space for in-character political and confrontational speech without someone getting offended.
If you want to continue this conversation, please drop me a forum PM and I'll be glad to talk.
