Ive seen a few. The people involved are either past casualties or members whose opinions i care little for to be honest. I like the fact that most of my support comes from the respected members of this forum.
Length of membership does not equal respected member im afraid. I made sure to have a long read before i made my return post. Im well aware of what has been said and as aforementioned:
Ive managed to convince with a high level of success numerous members who are widely respected on this forum. While some of these members dont believe all of what i claim the character has been significantly elevated in status thanks to myself. I am content.
The opinions of those who have have been struck down by the GS in the past are of no consequence.
The disbelief of new members while not exactly desired can not be avoided without effort from my part. Effort which is currently beyond me being the lazy student i am. However I am glad to count the respected and proven members of this forum amongst those i have enlightened. Again i say i am content.

I have not been here long, what GS post indicates is he thinks because of his filibuster campaign some members respect Phoenix. I have always said I think all members opinions are equally valid to be voiced, just don't expect me to always agree with them. Phoenix is one idea, I and many others (as you are aware Creshosk) do not agree with. GS obviously needs the belief of others to vindicate his belief in Phoenix and respects tose that agree with him, he also sees some members as more inportant than others (this is flawed given the transitory nature of a web forum), and he sees the unbelievers as infidels

What my post says is that i am content with the fact that members of this forum who have gained my respect and the respect of many others on this forum for various reasons make up the majority of those i count enlightened on the phoenix concept. I cant hope to have every single person share my views on the concept. That would require far too much effort on my part, effort im neither willing or feel necessary to invest in this forum. Everyone has a right to voice their opinions however some posters views can be marred and lack objectivity due to numerous defeats at the hands of fellow posters, or an inability to put aside personal feelings for the sake of debate. Oh well. Thats why im glad to count the tried and tested amongst those ive enlightened.
