More awesome super duper news!

*My* ICC project (not Icecrown Citadel but the Intercounty Connector) got a big stormwater approval today that lets the contractor get to work on the last 1/3 of the project. Everyone's really happy. :)

Yay! UPS says it's on the front porch. Hope it's still there when I get home...

In other news, hopefully my new chair gets delivered today! My old one was breaking, so I've been playing in a kitchen chair, then switched to a folding chair.

I agree. It's a very significant problem to let your anxieties negatively affect those, and it's really just not acceptable to expect people who are unaware of your problem to play into them.

Most people are willing to be soothing to people having trouble, because they assume that the trouble is temporary, and not a more deep-seated disorder. When that's the issue, people need to be allowed to choose whether to continue associating with that person or not, of their own free will.

Yep, and people don't really have the right to inflict that on social groups without some kind of mediation. They guy doesn't seem to grasp that he's asking for a kind of support that is unreasonable, largely because it will never be *enough*.

Well, apparently that person has some pretty bad personality disorder. Picking a bad metric and then feeling like they *must* win at it. Like having the highest post count on a forum? Having no deaths in PvP? There's some serious issues there.

Funny, Rip. I forced myself not to post in that thread. My post would have been a lot harsher than yours. Basically, "You have the right to be as paranoid and delusional as you want (although I recommend therapy to learn not to be that way as much), but you don't really have the right to subject your innocent guild members to that paranoia. If you cannot cultivate a learn-from-it-and-move-on approach to deaths in this game, but instead insist on your guildmates stroking you to make you feel marginally better about yourself for five minutes, until you need more stroking, then you have no business being in a guild."

After further review, I need to /facepalm less and /hug more.

And shoot, I often on purpose get killed in battlegrounds cause ressing at the graveyard can be safer than drinking.

Yeaaaaah.

I haven't even looked at how often I've died. Since I PvP a lot, and am a priest....

The things that I didn't post in the thread about the person who quit a guild cause they thought they weren't good enough after dying a bunch of times.

"Your guild probably didn't have any issues with you not being good enough, but if you've harped on how awful you are for the last three days because of dying, they might be getting a tad sick of stroking your ego to make you feel better, all with no effect."
