I am not a fan of pep!pep! for... a number of reasons. I try not to let my bias affect my opinions of the newbies, but I would rather they all just leave me alone. As for why...

During a particularly bad game I was injured pretty badly. I'll admit to... reverting to bad habits when I am injured or cornered... things like that, so I can get snippy and bitey and... aggressive. I simply can't help it. I do think a former companion of mine killed me to put me out of my misery as I was a [ clears his throat. ] mess. Anyway, I was revived, and the state of my aggression hadn't changed in the slightest, and so I had attached the healers and revivers, which caused Pink to lecture me. Again. He's never forgiven me for something I had done in the past, despite trying a number of times to make amends. I am even certain the one I hurt forgave me, but she's gone now, having graduated.

But this was just the final straw. I was sick of being told this and that and... it angered me. Maybe I'm being unreasonable, but it feels like they don't out of their way to speak like this to somebody who isn't like... like me...

So I'd rather just not be bothered with them anymore.
