This would be the second time I've asked that posts do not target and/or flame other posters. I strongly suggest you all take my advice/respect my request. Thanks!
Perhaps I should word this better, so it's not primarily looking like an attack on him.
Pyro, this isn't the first time you've made a thread putting forward an "idea", which appears to everyone as a way to excuse something you've either already done or are planning to do. This also isn't the first time people have noticed this and told you, quite precisely and clearly, that it's bad and you should stop.
Examples being, your "Mythbusters" thread. You created an entire thread and subtly put in your plans to take over the entirety of Forinthry, and when that was caught everybody told you no. They gave you precise reasons why you shouldn't, why it wouldn't work, why it doesn't make sense, and your response was "I see mixed opinion, only a few days left before it goes live!"
Your "Attack on the sicarius" thread, which is actually the result of another thread that I can't find at the moment, where you pitched the idea of encrypted war plans to ensure there was no metagaming. Where I remember people telling you it was a bad idea because it would heavily overcomplicate matters and lead to
more subtle
metagame since they could crack it and then say they "guessed it". How did you execute this idea? With a heavily censored (as in, * everywhere) mess that nobody could decode because of that regardless of whether or not you gave out the encryption key (which you didn't).
Now you have this. A thread for a group that's
blatantly obviously
built towards getting people to be quiet about a very very questionable, unreliably-sourced few things in your character's possession. with 5-6 pages of this entire thread being people telling you this is a bad idea. You responded to that by shoving your advert on as many threads as possible and actually trying to have it all just censored.
Take this as the criticism you were asking for in-game. Stop doing this. Stop doing something and ignoring the "no's" and pretending you're getting a bunch of support.

They think they are "the many", and I "the few". They think this gives them the right to walk over me.
My own character and every item he owns will be excluded from discussion so that I don't try to "trick" anyone into thinking that they are legitimate by explaining them in detail.
Also you are free to criticize my ideas but ultimately the choice to attempt them or not is mine, no one ever attempted to force you (or anyone) to participate. People got involved because they liked the idea.
Finally the implementation of my encrypting idea did need a little work but the issues could have been resolved with some trial and error. No one could possibly break the cipher however because it's complexity was designed to make it computationally prohibitive (i.e. It is not physically impossible to break that encryption but would require putting in resources most RPers couldn't and wouldn't put in just for a game).

But you just spammed advertisements (Without permission) on a large number of prominent threads a few days ago. "Last post by: Lord Pyro I" nearly ten times in a row is pretty hard to ignore.

Not the 1st time that's been done to advertise an event, it really isn't that difficult to ignore really.

Nobody showed up, but it's okay, Pyro's next RP involved him going to an elven event to hire someone to kill someone that refuses to acknowledge Pyro in RP, so that's cool.
