Brian Allen, and Allen Staal went together
like Vegemite and peanut butter
like boomarangs and frisbees
like baseball and cricket
Keep this in mind Brian. What is one man's trash is another man's treasure, and vice versa. I think this is the majority of your problems on the Internet. People have different values Brian. While some would say that your partnership with Allen was extremely pivotal to the community, others would see it as a nuisance.
And keep this in mind to those who are ripping on Brian for being "overly dramatic" about what is seen as trivial. What is one man's trash is another man's treasure. I think the majority of the problems you critics have with Brian on the Internet is that you have different values than Brian. While some would say Brian's partnership with Allen was a nuisance others would say it was extremely pivotal to the community.
Edit: I put my nose in another Brian Allen thread. What is wrong with me!
