I think the best parts of this thread (which is pretty ugly anyway) are past, so let's just lock it before it becomes a mock-the-n00b and/or rip-on-someone-who-isn't-here flamefest.

Personally, I don't care - I say the more weapon tech improves, the better off everyone is. But I do understand why this would upset them. In addition, you have to keep in mind that Rome, as a unit founded by Dominus, has spent very large amounts of money on COMMUNITY ARMOR, weapons built with more advanced materials than our good old PVC and blue camping foam, etc. And this guy fronted a lot of the money to do that. Also, ego trip or not, he has a lot of good fighters who are far better soldiers, who are very loyal to him and the unit. Once again, not necessarily a unit I would want to join, but I definitely have to respect the man for what he has built.
And he definitely comes off very differently online and in person. In person Dominus has always friendly and gracious around me. Though I don't have a problem with his online persona, I see that many do, and I understand why. But that's just how he comes off, and I really think it would not be in anyone's best interests to take some of his harsher online statements, and a brief clip out of a unit charter, and judge him on those, while forgetting about all the contributions he has made to Dagorhir.

When I say that there is more to Dominus than many people know, you should all take that for fact. He is not really a bad or evil person, he beleives in what he is doing, I may not agree with him on many aspects of his political thinking but I have always respected him as a person.
