Yo, Hyderipper, I know you're new around here, so just FYI...S8-N has this particular persona, and we love him, in spite of it or because of it, we're not sure why. But we love him.
If he was really on your case in a negative way, he would have said something seriously down. But he didn't...that was almost the equivalent of a friendly arm around your shoulders, saying..."hey, dude, we have different tastes".
You should loosen up a bit where S8-N is concerned...seriously. The guy's talented.
And tough, too.
