It’s honestly not a put down mate, the opposite, if anything.
I wouldn’t have included the 2nd part of my post if I wanted to put you down. I’m genuinely trying to pick you up. It’s not personal between us, and I agree we have got on better over the last few weeks or so. But I don’t like seeing some of the abusive posts that you make, whether targeted at me or not. Granted, a lot of these are in retaliation to comments about yourself, but some aren’t.
The best way to prove that you’re a good guy is to not respond directly with the criticism, and rather display the nicer side in your future posts. People aren’t always going to agree on a forum, but sometimes we need to handle how we respond to that better.
One thing I really respect about you is that you’re impartial in your posts and opinions. You’re not afraid to challenge people like Bandit if you don’t agree, for example. It’s great that you’re opinionated, perfect for a forum, but I just think there is a right way of getting your message across.
