You're not going to be cranking out tons of crummy topics are you? We've already got plenty of members who do that.

I think what my impatient and somewhat impolite friends mean is that Tom has been a frequent topic of conversation here. If you go back a couple of pages into our archives (the red line of numbers on the top right once you enter a forum) you'll find at least two recent debates on Tom. You may wish to add your opinion there rather than opening a new thread.

This might help you make up your mind.

*closes eyes in disbelief* I can't beleive waht I just read! Since when do the Barrowdowners ever greet newbies like that! As I rightly remember we gently direct them to the correct place and help them do the right thing. Oh dear. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] This does make me feel dispirited. Thank goodness for Mithadan! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Starbreeze, you've got to keep in mind that this guy started seven crummy topics yesterday. Three of them were so bad that they have been deleted. He deserves a lot worse than what was given to him.
