If you put them into a pan, yes, they jump out. They don't like being in pans. They're frogs. Pans aren't normal places for frogs to be. So they try to leave.

Put them into an environment that looks and feels friendly then slowly raise the temperature.

Actually, please don't. There's no reason to kill a frog like that, and that's exactly what would happen.

Seems like I have to correct myself: This is not the *****torm I feard, but more like a storm in a tea cup.

Carry on.
My quick "skim" has about 58 against and 19 for. The thread "Erked" has 41,745 views and 1,403 posts at the time of posting this with countless other threads denouncing this money rep grind. If that's not a " *****torm " I don't know what is.

I'm pretty sure that petitions are frowned upon.
If you pick up a novel, and see pages 2-899 only as obstacles between pages 1 and 900, then it may just be that you don't like reading.

I'm pretty sure that adding a paid reputation grind and paid achievements (on the PTS some of the CM titles, pets and speeders are REQUIRED for achievements!) is frowned upon by not only many players, but game designers as well.
