[Mkguild] Running Wild (part 2 of ?)

[Chris]

OK! I see an old argument coming back. We do seem to have an over
abundance of fox characters in MK! But we do need to remember it's a
personal choice what people use. I have to admit I am as guilty as all
the rest having no less then 3 canines!

We do need to push little used species more. But I refuse to do any
insects like cockroaches - those are way too icky!!!!

I'm not trying to discourage you from contributing.  You should write 
about what you want to write about.  Nor were my comments intended to 
be callous.  My comments were a statement of frustration born out of 
what appears to be a broad commonality amongst more recently 
introduced characters.

I love dogs, and if not for my own dog, I would not be as 
well-adjusted as I am.  I have nothing against dogs or foxes per se.

I'm sorry I upset you.  But of the new characters introduced in the 
last few months, almost every single one is either a fox or a dog.

Again, I'm sorry.  Please forgive my outburst.

May He bless you and keep you in His grace and love,

Charles Matthias
