Heh. The funny thing was, if they had come to me and said up front, "Look, we feel that you're being a suck-up," or "We're offended by your posting style," I would've been more than happy to have had a civil discourse with them about it, even though I think those are stupid reasons to have issues with someone - especially when they're not true, as the former is not. But derailing a thread in order to attack me just didn't sit well with me. -_-
Haha, well, I've always been a bit of a completion freak, so I'd go and do all the sidequests, which gave me an extra 2-3 levels and made the last battle really easy. But he was still fun to fight.
