Headphoneus Supremus
Hum, I don't know anything about who is right or wrong in this debate. I know Nic can get heated on some issues, but it is perfectly understandable. Doing this kind of thing is super unrewarding sometimes. People somehow think you owe them something.
Now on the specific discussion with Crinacle, it seems to me that he is quite obviously intentionally trying to get on Nic's nerves, but in a sufficiently roundabout way that it can seem like he isn't. Like the kid who only hits his brother when parents aren't watching and then says the brother is yelling for nothing again. I am sorry Crinacle if that is not what your intention is, but it really seems so from the outside. The guy who come and drops just a pinch of oil in the fire, and remains calm and pretends he has no clue why the whole building is ablaze, while just loving it inside. Not a very likeable attitude. If it is not intentional, well poor social skills.
Nic, I think you can either ignore this kind of play, or treat it with humour, then the firestarter tends to ignore you.
