Or if you were calling me a self-righteous jerk, then I must ask you: why should you, a moderator, insult me? Anyway, you should know that "that way" is not a good way. I was just caring about it. No need of agressive and childish remarks like your's. Perhaps my language was stronger than it should have been, but the fact remains that your comment was insensitive. His fiancee just died -- it's incredibly presumptious of you to criticise the way in which he's reacted to that. In future, if you want to suggest to people that there are alternative ways of coping, please be less blunt about it; it would also be nice if you could actually offer helpful advice instead of just telling people what you won't allow them to do.

Overwhelming Infiltrator Member # 4637	written Friday, September 2 2005 14:40 Profile Homepage #29 I don't understimate people. I think he understood what I mean, without me entering in details. I don't think this is the place to discuss that matter. Anyway, I didn't forbid him anything. Just gave an advice. Once more, your prejudice/preconceit about me makes you interpret my words in a wrong way. Try to be a little bit more respectful. You intentionally disrespected me.

I'm 26 and I studied psychology and gerentology (don't know it's called like that in english)as part of my medicine course (here that course takes 6 years in university plus two of internship. Then add more years for specializations and respective internships). Also I have some (internship) experience, dealing with people with 55+ years old with varied problems, including psychological. I concede that psichology is not my favored or better area, but I guess your ratiocination isn't accurate. :) -------------------- Visit the Blades of Avernum Center and the Beta Testing Center -------------- "Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ."

kuc Shock Trooper Member # 1546	written Saturday, September 3 2005 04:14 Profile Homepage #38 Does everything have to be turned into a holier-than-thou, more-intelligent-than-thou, more-respectful-than-thou intellectually insinuating debate? (read: childish bickering with big words). Get over yourselves, or each other, and try to at least focus on the topic, that of the welcoming/acceptance of Fenwik, and aid for whatever grief he brings with him. If you have a point to prove to each other, don't do it in a public place. You won't earn any brownie points with the community, for bickering over something so trivial as who disrespected who with what words, when it is entirely irrelevant to what is really going on. Obviously IQ's dont require common sence and decency. That being said, I am sorry for your loss, and hope that you can find something to cling to and raise your spirits. (nb: feel free to criticise my opinion, since, often there isnt much else offered. if it makes you feel better/smarter/bigger, go for it.) -------------------- A Sucaran Child is standing here.

Icshi Mongolian Barbeque Member # 1528	written Saturday, September 3 2005 21:32 Profile #40 Immediately after my grandfather's death several years ago (I was 17 at the time, and had been caring for him during his last few months) I found myself playing with Legos again, something I hadn't done since I was 14 or so. Not just putting them together and admiring them, mind you—playing with them. Moving the little men around, the pirates going "Arrrgghhh!", making up intensely complicated plots with the spacemen landing in the middle of a castle, etc. etc. I did this for about three or four months. One afternoon while doing this it's like a part of my mind suddenly went "pop!" I realized what I was doing, that I had "reverted" to an earlier stage as my mind came to grips with the loss in the background. It was then that my grandfather's death suddenly hit me. In the meantime my mind needed that reversion, that simplicity, in order to start coping with the situation. At first I was confused and ashamed of my behavior, but I came to realize that that's what I was doing because that's what I needed to be doing. So with all due respect I say to Fenwik—many years my senior, and possessing far more life experience than I—that you should cope with this loss as your mind is directing you. When the time comes to deal with it in a more permanent and concious way, it'll come of its own accord. In the meantime, go ahead and distract yourself, because that's what you need right now. You have my deepest sympathies, sir.

saunders La Canaliste Member # 5563	written Sunday, September 4 2005 03:19 Profile #41 Hey Fenwik! is not over 50... not for .. oh.. months! It sounds as though you are dealing with things in a very pragmatic and sensible way. I've found Avernum very immersive, also Myst and its sequels (thogh they can be frustrating) and currently get eaten by Ultima Online and the roleplaying community on Europa shard. I don't know what the Oceania shard is like, apart from its reputation for being sparsely populated. Nice to meet you! It really does help to discard your sanity in the bucket provide for the purpose: that's the one, right by the door there...

Laser Lou Apprentice Member # 6275	written Tuesday, September 6 2005 21:00 Profile #46 I wouldn't say that its because of your age; you simply have different gaming needs. For some, the tactical thinking involved in FPS games is enough. Others prefer deeper strategy or problem-solving. You said that you started out with the Super Nintendo, so you'd probably prefer games similar to the ones you played then. Posts: 1 \| Registered: Monday, September 5 2005 07:00
