I'd have to paraphrase, but a new-ish player came on here a month or so back and asked is there were any Linkshells that might accept him. Fair enough request, and he described his character.
"15/elf/sandoria"
I simply had a chuckle at his description of "elf" and corrected him by saying Elvaan, since "Elf" really isn't the same thing. After that, I suggested he view the Linkshells Sticky on the Lakshmi Forums and find one that suited his tastes, as he was more likely to find a great LS that way, rather than just asking a crowd. It was all in good nature, but the next poster apparently took offense and made it sound as though I'd made some kind of jab at him. o_O
So, needless to say, I got rated down some and lost my wondeful red-ness. Ahh well. Such is life, ne? ^_^
