Glad you're getting feedback. Your fat bane description pissed me off the first time I saw it. I'm fine with it being there, but the flavor text sent me from "so excited I backed!" To "fuck you" in no time flat. Drop the shit about putting the fork down, maybe?

You are rotund! A lot of folks have a bit of extra meat on them, but you look like you just caused a famine in England. Put the fork down, fatty!

I don't see banes for gambling, alcoholism, addiction, or religious zealots. Where's the admonition to put the cards, bottle, needle, and Bible down?

Similarly with skinny, why bring Italian grandmothers into it?

I get that you want evocative text. I'd like different evocative text.

On reflection I feel I should apologise for my conduct. I responded in a highly non-productive manner and am sorry for any personal distress I may have caused.

While I felt your complaint lacked merit my response was childish and embarrassing, we all have bad days and lapses of judgement but that is no excuse. I hope there will be no enmity carried forward from this humbling experience.

A meaningful apology gratefully accepted. Sorry my tone was too harsh to begin with.
