D_bo. Enough. You've been on him for longer than a typical welcome.
So, Zach. While I'd love to discuss relatively useless and useful things with you sometime, I believe you have a decision to make. You've probably already made it, but I'll ask you properly now.
Are you going to stay? Can you hold up under d_bo's criticisms? Or are you going to leave, as many others have? It's your decision, really. It's really d_bo's job to do that: criticize, and if you can't hold up, you leave. Simple as that. Are you staying?
(Please excuse me if I'm not really 'authorized' to ask an author if (s)he wants to stay. But that's how it's really done right now [cheese did it for Ty], and as I see nobody making a move to do this, and I believe he is going to stay, I took it upon myself to do so. Cheese, Feather, Paradox, Stora: you guys should probably do this to new writers who have suffered through their welcome. I think it's a neat system, and it would work fairly well to get rid of the weaker minded.)
