Ever had someone turn your mood to shit in nothing flat?
I just did.
Am thinking it was a bad idea to ever get a character on HLM. Am thinking it was a worse idea to ever meet half the folks on there, as I have a magical ability to piss them off, and the group that's usually on there and that has their own self-formed 'club' has a magical ability to piss me off in return. To the point of someone telling me to 'shut up' instead of simply ignoring me, even when the MUCK itself has tools to let them ignore me quite readilly built right in.
I'll see how I feel over the next two days, but I get the feeling I am going to be leaving there, at this point.

And in this case it wasn't drama-heavy. I wandered into what looked to be a technical discussion comparing two programs, and added a couple comments about specific situations in my experience that were relevant, and pointing out a different criteria that could influence a decision between the two. Yes, I'm specifically leaving details out unless you want them.
Even when my initial impression of the discussion was verified, instead of pointing out possible flaws in what I'd said, or even simply asking me to talk about something else, I was told to 'Shut up.' instead.
So I sat there, and when I could type again, I appologized, logged out, and sat down and thought about why I was even there... what reasons did I even have for going there in the first place (talk to you, Aerowolf), what other things were there to do there (nothing that I've seen except go to the peak to look for a conversation or very occasionally move a conversation to .geek instead of spamming the peak with it).
I wish your suggestion was valid, hon, but there's nowhere else to retreat to on there that I've seen, it's just too small still. Aside from you and to a lesser extent Premchaia, I don't know anyone there, and I've apparently alienated myself from most of the 'active' userbase that I've actively conversed with for more than two lines, except you two and Natasha.

I gaze at your icon there, and it makes me smile a little, because I know that you want to be a good listener, a good friend, well-liked and so forth, thus your icon-of-cuteness reflects all that. But, you also have to take care of yourself, and keep yourself out of positions that you know will upset you, as much as you may want to be the 'good-guy' and the good listener.

Ergo...
It may also simply be that my investment methods are simply incompatable with HLM as it currently stands and with its current population of active users.

MUCK I have been an active part of.
Sorry for the cryptic nature of that post. I wasn't up to writing a proper explanation of the entire situation that wouldn't be heavilly slanted and/or biased, but I had to get the initial idea off my chest when it occured.
Re: MUCK I have been an active part of.
In short... yeah, not good.
