There you go...re-read it. Insignificant instead of stupid....but anyone who would read the entire sentence instead of the first 5 lines would see what I was trying to say.....
And this post wasn't for you all...it was hope that someone in SE would read it and see that we understand, that they are in our hearts, prayers, thoughts.
While we miss the game, we feel bad for Japan...at least I do. As a whole, and SE is a whole with Japan. Part of. Could have been worse for them. SE's building could have been at the epicenter and completely got destroyed.
Would my words have more meaning then? Or am I just being a dick for saying how insignificant this game is to the lives of the thousands and thousands of the lost/dead. And I'm sure a lot of SE's staff has family involved in the dead/lost.
MY CONDOLENCES TO THEM, I just had the rocks to make a thread about this, saying how it breaks my heart them apologizing to us. -

Well I understand instead of them saying sorry to us we should say we are sorry for the tragedy that happened to you. Alot of people have said it. Alot of people have read it. I just don't see how anyone could get upset reading a post like this :D.

I just did this because there should be MORE people apologizing to them. Telling them, while it is courteous, that their apologies to us for the game being down, really isn't needed. It is professional courtesy, but we should be making more and more threads apologizing to them. Not more threads about "What are you gonna do for the next 70 hours?"
And sad thing is, instead of "Our condolences to you SE and Japan" there will be more and more threads about, "60 hours to go, 48 hours to go, 12 hours to go, 2 hours to go."
I feel like a total fool sitting here in my nice lit up house, electricity all day and night, my computer and internet running, while there are some people over there that don't even have a place to lay their heads down. I think about that and it breaks my heart.
As said before, I just wish more people would post something like this.
And, if my 'book' bothers you, don't read it? Obviously you don't feel the same. But if this happened to you..I'd feel the same for you. And if you posted to me online on a forum, saying that 'You are sorry that your business isn't up and running because of a catastrophe and you weren't capable of offering your services to me and apologized for it', I would offer my condolences to you and try to express how you need not apologize to me... I'd pray for you, I'd keep you in my thoughts, and it probably would break my heart the same way.
I felt the same when Haiti got hit. I pledged money to them and over the summer last year, I went to Haiti instead of going to California for Vacation so I could help them out with Tourism. And man o man was there a lot of Americans there. Working, vacationing which helps with total revenue...And more than likely, I will go to Japan on my next Vacation this summer, for the first time. Even if my contributions are minor.
But maybe I wrote so much because there aren't words to express how I feel about what has happened, and is still happening to the thousands upon thousands of people over there.
But even donating, I just feel like I'm throwing money at a bleeding wound.
You are all entitled to your opinion about what I had to say. Funny tho, that I got criticized for something that I have ALWAYS been really good at. Writing and expressing how I feel. lol
But here you go, another book. Criticize away. And I'm not talking to everyone. There are a few of you there that understand. I appreciate it. ;) -

yes your point is truthful. There are to many repetitive threads & just plain useless ones. A countdown thread is pointless, we all know when the servers will be back & do not need 20 people making their own to inform us of this.
The threads I enjoy are one's like this, The one with updates of Japan's current situation & ones that address actual game related changes, suggestions or problems. -

Damn, I'm almost sorry I wrote this now.

Dozens of threads you could have posted this in. Feel what you want but making new threads that don't need to be made undermines the purpose of this forum by pushing threads that the devs might actually need to see onto the 23rd page. This is absolutely rampant and just keeps getting worse. If people don't have a new thought find one of the 15 other threads devoted to that thought and post there. Sorry to single you out but this is one of the most superfluous threads yet.

Sorry, I have a hard time with proper sentence structure sometime.
