I was very disappointed to see this thread get the lock, and the reasons for the lock:

Look guys, I hate Blizzard's job with rogues every bit as much as any one of you, and I'm just as cynical about CM's as the next rogue is. But at least Drysic was different. Drysic was genuinely nice, and had a real interest in the class that wasn't fake. Unlike Tyren's open hostility towards us ("We're not overhauling the class....noobs! So STFU!"), and Caydiem's total poser fakeness ("ZOMG, I'm a druid...whoops! I mean, I'm rogue, too! See me top the healing charts on Shazzrah!?! Bandages = rogue utility FTW!"), Drysic was a positive and somewhat enthusiastic CM while he was on our forums and seemed like he actually liked the class. He never ever, not once, claimed to be very knowlegable of the class, and certainly never claimed to be an expert (unlike Tyren or Caydiem), but he was open towards us and our suggestions.
Now we've gone and alienated him. He wanted nothing more than to post his experiences on the test server and just to relate to us. And what do we do? We nitpick and nitpick his every word to death, to the point where we almost demand screenshots of his combat log. I know, whenever a CM attempts to relate to us, we are always immediately suspicious, and while I don't think being guarded is a bad thing, it's a totally unacceptable to straight-off bite the hand attempting to reach out a handshake without giving it a chance first.
More to the point, Drysic is going to be representing us for our review, like it or not. You guys, in your attempt to expose Drysic as a fake jerk like Caydiem and Tyren, may have just cost us a decent and well-deserved review. Good game, and congrats my fellow rogues...your actions may have doomed us all.[ post edited by Lonawolfe ]

Yeah, now you've done it!
Well first I do play a rogue, and no I don't decide anyone's fate. I do my best to help portray what the players want to the developers on ANY issue, regardless of what the concern is or what class is involved. That's our job. While I must say I was a bit... irked that my story was trying to be twisted into either a hidden agenda, fictitious recount since rogues can never win any fight (/rolleyes), or to somehow prove I do not know the class and therefore am unfit to look over their review, it hasn't burned any bridges. One of the 3/4" leads was a bit singed, but it's still intact. I'm not easily scared off, and certainly not by a bunch of rogues. ;)
I'm kidding guys and gals... don't hurt me.

Q u o t e:
You must turn off smart quotes. Those are special word characters.
Word2K2:
Tools -> AutoCorrect options -> AutoCorrect As You Type -> uncheck
"Straight quotes" with "Smart quotes"
Tools -> AutoCorrect options -> AutoFormat -> uncheck "Straight quotes"
with "smart quotes"
To turn off em dashes, uncheck the "hyphens with dashes" option in the
above location.
That should fix it.

Q u o t e:
Because word uses directional apostrophes, and these boards don't accept them :)
It was a rhetorical question, but thank you.
