Mikezilla:
Lol if this was a real fight, Rick, would have got knocked on your ass and pummeled. Hey Opt, why the hate? Please inform of something if I missed it.

Sorry - when I clicked your profile to find out if you had been the guy who posted the last, I noted the 'artist for hire' link, and thought it might have been a 'creative license' thing.

In addition to that, the ignorance of presuming that everyone is as "easy-going" as you are is unsettling.
Let me spell it out for you: Defiling someone's cabinet by vomiting your Toronto Maple Leaf's logo on it.
Ring a bell?

Absolutely.

Opt's talking about this post.
Opt - I honestly didn't think you were offended by that... ...it certainly wasn't obvious from your response. (Killer flames, btw.) I certainly did say how good your cab looked. I thought it was funny to put the Leafs logo on there - but I guess that's your point, eh. Hell, what's worse is I haven't watched a damn Leafs game since Dave Andrechuk played on the Team. I just figured that was the normal 'guy' thing to do. Didn't realize the level of your fan-dom. (Thought that level was reserved for the U.S. Football fans, honestly.)
I didn't think it was such a big deal, but as it was to you, I apologize.

*fans flame war*
Lol, they're pretending hockey is a real sport...

Apology accepted.
But just as a point to make: When trying to make a first impression, it's probably not wise to start with the razzing until you've gained a bit of a report with the person you're razzing. Otherwise, it just comes off as being a ---meecrob---. You know what I mean? I'm all for the razzing, but for those who've earned it, you don't know me that well to make it sound not confrontational. Like for instance, if we were in a bar and I was talking to the guys about something, and some random dude came out of no-where to bust my balls on it "in a guy way", that's pretty much an invitation to get stomped on. In the virtual forum world, "being stomped on" is basically translated into avoiding, or challenging anything you post without prejudice.
Also, for future reference, when a person builds a project based on a sports team it's probably 99.99% out of sheer fan-dom. Why else do it? Yes, that level of fan-dom transcends national borders, ethnicities and sports genres. I'm not sure if you get that kind of exposure in Ajax (I've actually been through there, when I lived in T.O for awhile)...but I've seen some pretty crazy hockey fans in my day, Leafs fans as well as Canadiens fans to name a couple.

Point taken. Yeah, I do tend to come on a bit strong at times. And you're right - not knowing the target audience and tossing someone's favourite team to the ground is not high on the list of 'how to win friends and influence people'.

We do have fans out here, I'm sure. (I live around the corner from Glen Healey, actually, and I've seen them come by when he's done signings in the past.)
And yeah, the Leafs vs Canadiens battle was big back in the day. And yes, Hockey IS a real sport. Just like the CFL > the NFL. (Or so I'm told by Canadian friends. I'm just not 'the sports guy'...)
