2. Inspired by this (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,7601.0.html), write a Syaoran x Reimu fic under 5000 words that turns into a modern parable on how free market economies are inherently unethical, with the condition that they realize they're totally wrong for each other and break up. Li Meiling's inclusion is not optional, and bonus points are to be rewarded for the inclusion of Nanoha Takamachi absolutely thrashing them all, eventually leading Reimu to conclude that true freedom can only be achieved through Stalinist economic planning.I see that you edited my post. Is that supposed to be the source material for my challenge, or did you just fill in the answer for the challenge for me?
Hey guys knock off the calls for rebanning. I'm trying to relearn the rules round here. It's quite natural I'll make some mistakes while trying to work myself back into the site. Please be a bit forgiving, and treat me as a new member, not one you are just itching to ban again.We're not "itching" to reban you, you're just proving yet again why you were banned in the first place.

Also I see that you edited my post.

It should also be noted that he edited that post without knowing that this Snowball Challenge was being planned. Effectively, that edit has nothing to do with your (mandatory) challenge.
I sucked majorly at the challenge last time. Please don't let my ban/not-ban fate hang in the balence. I'm trying to as I said just relearn the rule, and may make mistakes periodically. I'm not an intentional rule violator.Is that so? Then how about spamming the same message over and over again (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,7602.msg478159.html#msg478159), or making low-quality posts with nothing new to add to discussions, as you did in Renko's?

You're coming off of a permaban, we fully expect you to have the patience and common sense to read the rules and try not to repeat the same mistakes you made before. Instead though, you choose to just throw your hands up and go "YOU CAN'T HURT ME I'M NEW AND DON'T KNOW THESE THINGS".

AnimeDude/Bankai Ichigo/Rockman X/test user
Anime is a festering idiot who is nearly halfway at Chris Hanssen's level of stupidity. He's smart enough to use a proxy, but not smart enough to know when to quit. More of a really pathetically retarded idiot than a troll, he goes everywhere being a little fag who thinks he knows everything and bitching and fueding about shit that's not important or no one really cares about, tries to back up his self proclaimation that he knows a shitload about anime and video games with Googled or Wiki'd information, and even seems to be unable to tell anime from real life, as seen here: http://www.aerislives.com/converse.php?u=7255&u2=16283
He thinks he's cool, but he's sorely mistaken on that part. He logged into AL and at first got into a heated debate over how pirating and ripping software is illegal but modding a Xbox isn't, then started being an all around faggot. And what's worse is, the little buttmunch doesn't know when to take a hint. After being banned for constant idiocy on AL, he made a new account, Bankai Ichigo. After that was banned he made a third, Rockman X, then finally a fourth called test user after THAT. What he didn't do right was actually try to disguise his general attitude, and wait more than a day between the banning and creation of each account.
But that's not all. The little turd tends to migrate from site to site pulling this shtick. In fact, here's some others:

I finally got my paper on US history involving Cirno written. Here it is:
How might US history have been different if Cirno had filled the role of various presidents, key political figures, or just other people doing real dumb things, throughout our history? Well let?s find out. On July 4, 1776, the Declaration of Ice Fairy Independence was ratified. When King George saw this, he was furious. ?How can something that doesn?t even exist get mentioned in such an important document, ESPECIALLY when it dares to threaten treason to the king of England?!? he shouted. He didn?t realize that such a thing as an ice fairy was real. But he was about to find out, in a strange way. The declaration called for ice fairies to rise up against the king. And they did. There never was a war. Rather, Cirno herself flew across the Atlantic Ocean to England. She then froze the king in a block of ice. He froze to death instantly. She quickly made her way back to the colonies in America to tell of this story, but in the process she had to go bathroom, and pooped out a huge iceberg. Upon impact in the ocean it sent a massive tsunami that washed a hundred miles inland killing half of the colonists. ?Woops, I guess that was dumb of me,? she said. This was her first act of stupidity. On April 30, 1789, she was elected president. How she got elected president, nobody knows. Her first act as president was to go around to all the people in the colonies and offer them free ice cr?me cones which she made herself using her powers. She really didn?t do anything important as president, so that?s why American history book writers made up George Washington so the great embarrassment she caused the country wouldn?t be written into history books. After John Adams became president she decided to go off and work on a plantation. Why she chose a life as a slave, nobody knows. This is the second of her great acts of stupidity. In fact it was on Thomas Jefferson?s plantation Monticello. You often hear about the relationship Jefferson had with Sally Hemings, but it was actually a threesome that also included Cirno herself. She later gave birth to a human and ice fairy hybrid. Jefferson was shocked by this strange creature and killed it. That?s why nobody ever found out until recently during an archaeological expedition at Monticello. As she is immortal, she has lived throughout all history in the US. She originally wrote the Emancipation Proclamation, not Lincoln. But it was so botched up that President Lincoln had to rewrite it from scratch. In fact this made her so angry she used her powers to freeze Lincoln. She ran the country up until the time ?Lincoln? was shot. Really, after she froze him, she hired a lookalike actor during public performances to stand in for President Lincoln. The truth was about to come out, so Cirno had this lookalike assassinated in Ford?s Theater to give a reason for a dead president, to end any possible speculation about the ?president?s? fate. She seemed to disappear for a time, from public view but then reappeared during the late 1920s. One day after eating some lunch she went to the New York Stock Exchange, to get some tickertape for a party she wanted to hold with some of her friends back in Gensokyo. She had found a way back to her world recently and was getting homesick. But as she tried to open up a tickertape machine to steal the tape, she accidentally dropped it. It landed on a wire powering the stock tracking machines, shorting them out. This malfunction was corrected after a couple hours of repair. Unfortunately the damage had been done. Many transactions weren?t accounted for in that time period, and the market crashed. That was her third great act of stupidity. This happened in October of 1929. On January 20, 1969, she was again elected president. However she needed an adviser to help in presidential matters, so she hired Richard Nixon. As she stayed in the Whitehouse doing presidential paperwork, she had Nixon often actually speak at gatherings where she was supposed to attend. People saw her so infrequently that many forgot about her and came to believe Nixon was president. She even had him hire thugs to break into the Watergate building to steal documents which included information on over 9000 dumb things she had done (though each of these was less stupid than her so far 3 great acts of stupidity). This break in wasn?t covered up very well though, and as a result there was a huge investigation. Just when they were about to discover her part in the break in plot, Nixon (as her trusted adviser) went around and planted evidence leading back to him. He ultimately was impeached, and then resigned before the trial could be completed. She herself left after that for fear her involvement would be discovered. Moving forward to the most modern time period, we can see how her stupidity played a role in the past decade. On January 20, 2001, George W. Bush was elected as president. However because he preferred to do nonpresidential stuff like going golfing, he hired Cirno to fill in for him when he was gone. She wasn?t very good at being a backup for him though. She completely missed obvious signs that Al Qaeda terrorists were itching for a fight. Due to her complete incompetence, on September 11, 2001, the largest terrorist attack ever on American soil was carried out. This was her fourth great act of stupidity. In 2003, the president decided it was time she tried her hands at some more military intelligence analysis. In her conclusion she decided that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. This is how the Iraq War really started. This was her fifth great act of stupidity. Throughout US history she blundered along, often making the country worse for it too. However when Barack Obama became president he finally had her captured and killed using a special technique that is needed to kill immortal fairies. Although some Republicans believe that she still, possibly through her spirit, is guiding the current president too, into doing things such as the economic stimulus and the healthcare reform law. However as a Touhou fan I can certainly feel her spirit whenever I play a Touhou game.
Scientific papers are not a block of text.
- You have no section division. Where is the abstract, introduction, related literature, research approach/framework, results, conclusion/discussion?
- You have no scientific references nor APA styling for it.
- And the list goes on...
Sadly I find that I often have problems with Touhou games setting up stuff like netplay. I need a GOOD forum, with people who KNOW what they are doing so I can set up a net game.
If maybe you restricted my posting permissions to the technical support section then I could get help with Touhou games when needed, but not make myself into an idiot.
If you check hackforums.net you'll see that I've NEVER been banned from there. If you check that Warsow forum you'll see I've been reactivated, but never was dumb enough to get rebanned. My luck ran out because of just how strict your rules are. Yes I've been banned on other sites too, but NEVER after just one day (ok there was one, but I was literally trying to test the admins to see how much spam it would take to get a ban and I spammed the heck out of that forum, but it wasn't one I intended to revisit anyway).
My problem is unique as I've followed all advice and still it's a no go. I'm thinking it might be that the one computer is Windows 7 64bit system instead of WIndows XP 32bit system (Touhou 12.3 was meant for WinXP at 32bits). But to confirm that this is the problem I need someone else with Windows 7 64bit to test the game in question. To do that, I need to make a post asking for help. To do that I need forum posting access in the technical support section.
You may not care, but I'm a diehard Touhou otaku and I want to play Touhou 12.3 online. Once I get it running I could spend the rest of my life playing against people online.
Because we totally want to help him inflict himself on other people amirite :|You may not care, but I'm a diehard Touhou otaku and I want to play Touhou 12.3 online. Once I get it running I could spend the rest of my life playing against people online.

Honestly?Yes we're totally picking on him because he's different, not because he's a terrible poster as shown by the huge amount of links we dug up with him being a retard and getting banned.
This is more pathetic than funny.
Though maybe I have a bad taste in my mouth from another forum I used to go to, where they would ceaselessly and brutally taunt anyone with remotely unusual interests.
But anyway, this obviously isn't the place for him.

It's all hard to stomach, honestly. I don't disagree with the ejection at all, but I think i'm feeling closer along the lines that Squidtentacle is. Videogamer wasn't just executed, but he's been tied to a chariot to be dragged around town so others can take amusement from trumpeting his wretched existence. It's just not something I can be a part of and enjoy, it makes me feel dirty to be honest. :XMaybe you missed the appeals thread, but whatever, I already had and finished this debate.
Though as my sentiment appears to be the stark minority, and no one likes the moral high horse, i'll bow out of this debacle and let y'all have your fun.Given the fact he's been a severe pain for years, as well as having inflicted his brand of stupid on many websites prior to ours, I have a hard time feeling sorry.
If you ask me, his persistance reeks of :trollface:Man I wish there was an angle tag so I could make a ring of :trollface:

It's this same human trait that results in bullying, racism, sexism, and any amount of human rights violations. A group judges someone as an acceptable target for any and all malice sent their way. Even in a minor and inocuous situation like this one, it depresses me.
Excuse me, what? A repeat offender, who somehow managed to get unbanned, again, proceeds to shit up these boards, and the lot of us laughing at him is now on par with "bullying, racism, sexism, and any amount of human rights violations"? Seriously? I know you consider yourself a kind-hearted soul and all, and this is you saying that you're sensitive to the situation, but throwing this accusation at all of us doesn't really strike me as a particularly kind or charitable interpretation of what's happened here.
As far as I know, stupidity does not justify hatred or mockery.
Also, I don't think Nobu was comparing those of you who jeer to racists, so much as simply saying that your actions stem from the same nature.
As far as I know, stupidity does not justify hatred or mockery.
Uh, I don't hate this guy, but his behavior brought mockery upon himself. And Nobu saying that our laughter comes from the same place that results in bullying, racism, sexism, and any amount of human rights violations is a hugely inaccurate false equivalence. But then I don't take kindly to being so blithely scolded from on high like that.
EDIT: Yes, I know that's not us, so don't bother pointing it out. It doesn't matter that it's not specifically us as far as I'm concerned.
And you don't find any problem looking down on Videogamer?
I care because it demonstrates he has zero respect for authority, and give the way he popped up on IRC, I expect we're no different to him.
Do I have a problem with laughing at a guy who shat up these boards? Whose own behavior - not his gender, nor his skin color, nor anything but his own behavior - quite justifiably resulted in him being banned (hopefully) permanently? No, not really.
And you don't find any problem looking down on Videogamer?Nope, because he treated us with absolute contempt, has been a pain and a bandodger for years now, and finally we got through his thick skull he's not welcome here.
Look, it's perfectly fine to ban him, he was a retard, yes. But do we really have to make a 5-Page thread solely devoted to humiliating and despising him? Enough's enough.I don't think you understand how long we've been dealing with him, and how many times he's been banned previous to this final "last time". Hell, we fucking gave him another shot despite him bandodging 5 times, and it turned up to be the same stupid poster he was over a year ago.
Also, @Kilgamaya[Z], that isn't even on MotK, what the hell do you careBecause he claimed he was a good poster and that we needed to give him one last chance, when it's obvious he's been doing the same shit for years all across the Internet and has yet to learn his lesson. There is absolutely nothing wrong with doing a background check on a repeat offender, especially one that has more than enough convictions against him to get him banned several times.
I don't see a problem with people laughing at him over a background check since he pretty much deserved it as far as I can tell, but assigning him an impossible challenge just so everyone can find yet another reason to mock him is kind of a dick move. Why couldn't he just have been perma-banned without being exploited? That just kind of struck me as malicious when I read this thread.Did you miss the part where he whined about not wanting to do it?

ruro was there in spirit<3
Don't we have better things to do than make fun of a pitiful, lonely wannabe troll? I think now that we're the pathetic ones.Oh, we'll move on from him, but this was DAMN fun to do last night. Anything we can do would be a better use of time than this (NaNoWriMo!) but it's not such a bad thing to take some time out of our busy schedules to list one by one in his face why no one can stand him.
No!!!!!!!!!!Now he's ordering us around. Ahahahah oh god.
I was given a challenge. It was to last 5 days. The admin can not remove the challenge before 5 days has passed.
It's this same human trait that results in bullying, racism, sexism, and any amount of human rights violations. A group judges someone as an acceptable target for any and all malice sent their way. Even in a minor and inocuous situation like this one, it depresses me.This is the one thing I will concede: I went searching for his paper trail more for our having fun at his expense than the slight hope that they might actually spark a catharsis and he might actually use all that damning evidence as the basis for some kind of personal growth. But when you put this into context and realize that he was trying to make a mockery of us and our community with his bandodging and wasteful posts, I find it depressing that you could even begin to "take his side", as it were. The whole point of the idiot challenge was for him to get one more chance to make us all laugh-- and I don't mean that in a bad way. I mean, one more chance for him to make us all have a hearty chuckle and see that no, he's not beyond hope yet of becoming a valuable member of the site. And he failed at that, too.
The only thing I would find that may have appeared questionable was the statement implying that he would have gotten banned even if he had successfully finished the snowball challenge.If he had taken his five days to come up with something quality, I don't think I would have perma'd him. But he did it in only a short while, and it showed. If you want to be redeemed, you're going to have to work for it, and to the bitter end he wasn't willing to do even that.
I don't see a problem with people laughing at him over a background check since he pretty much deserved it as far as I can tell, but assigning him an impossible challenge just so everyone can find yet another reason to mock him is kind of a dick move. Why couldn't he just have been perma-banned without being exploited? That just kind of struck me as maliciously intended when I read this thread.He was going to be banned regardless, the snowball challenge was never to "give him one last shot", his fate was sealed the moment he posted this thread and started spamming WHY DID YOU CLOSE MY THREAD and then got into a fight with staffers when told to drop it or else.
Frankly, I don't care how long it has been. I still think it's malicious to make a thread simply to hate one person. Call it moral high ground or whatever you may, he still needs to be treated with SOME dignity.As much dignity as he treated us? We gave him so many second chances it makes my head spin. The guy was PERMABANNED, and bandodged 5 times, that's more than enough reason to keep him away for a lifetime. And against our better judgement, we allowed him one last chance that NOONE ELSE has ever gotten, period. And he went back to the same old shit, and then started getting hostile with us.
*shrug*We tried that, and he kept on coming back, thinking he was somehow welcome. Permabanning and banning every single rereg wasn't getting through to him, so public callout was the last option available. Believe me, I wanted to just ban him and get over with, but I saw the merit in pointing out his stupidity in hopes he never feels the desire to come back.
I'd have said "Fuck, that guy was annoying as all hell. Glad we got rid of the whiny bitch." and left it at that. Not mounted a shrine to his ricockulousness.
But that's me. I don't wail on people I hate after I've gotten rid of them, I say "they're out of my life, fuck 'em" and get on with it.
Uh, I don't hate this guy, but his behavior brought mockery upon himself.

Some people believe in 'an eye for an eye', others believe in 'turning the other cheek'. It's a difference in philosophy.The staff did that, but eventually ran out of cheeks.
I don't like mockery. I'm guilty of it sometimes too, but I still don't like it. And yes, I believe that mockery stems from the same basic trait of humans to judge someone as inferior to oneself, making it alright to treat them negatively. It's your choice to consider it 'scolding' if you wish, but that wasn't my intention.I really don't think this was mockery in any sense. The guy earned every single bit, this was merely laying out his amazing history of disrespect and staff pain and torment.
Just like the whole "Respect is earned, not given." statement that gets thrown around so often. There is still a baseline level of respect that I personally believe should be given to everyone, though obviously not everyone agrees with where that level should be.And I fully fully agree, I give everyone a level of respect and I don't care how badly someone's wronged me, but I'm having a VERY hard time digging any sort of sympathy up for him after the shit he's pulled.
Treat others as you wish to be treated.
I really don't think this was mockery in any sense.
Think about what that actually means.If I do this kind of shit to someone else, I fully expect and hope I get treated like an asshole in kind.

If the admin will insist on that, they might as well just ban me and get it over with, as I know that's what will happen anyway with this challenge.
If I do this kind of shit to someone else, I fully expect and hope I get treated like an asshole in kind.
EDIT: I guess I'm wrong, Ruro's the one who ran the snowball challenge so whatever, I wouldn't have objected if she felt he earned it back. I wanted to ban him without challenge but I let Ruro do what she wanted.He didn't earn it, no. I was still willing to give him a second chance, but trying to do a snowball challenge in such a short span of time is a really bad idea. Like I said, if he had taken his time and produced something of quality, he would have still been at the end of his rope, but he would have fulfilled the conditions of my challenge and been let back in.

Everyone needs to shut the fuck up.
And my sentiments come from the belief that he did not hold much malicious thought towards us until the end.Conscious self-centered disregard for anybody else is the next best thing, and that he has enough of to fill the Mariana Trench.
Everyone needs to shut the fuck up.
He's gone now. It's done. Would everyone just please shut the fuck up about it, now? We get it.
And on a personal note, if you find this entire episode depressing, that you would think of me and the rest of your friends that way is even more depressing. Because the staff is a bunch of sadists who will ban you and laugh at you for the hell of it when you did nothing wrong.
I really don't think this was mockery in any sense. The guy earned every single bit, this was merely laying out his amazing history of disrespect and staff pain and torment.
The false equivalence you made there, though, is between mocking someone for having a history of malicious behavior and finally getting their comeuppance, and mocking someone for their gender, skin color, ethnic heritage or whatever. There is a world of difference between the two, as I hope you know. So yeah, you'll have to forgive me if I took offense to that comparison.
Everyone needs to shut the fuck up.
It's done. As a member of the community, he's failed. He's broken multiple rules, and he was punished for it. He tried to work his way around those rules, and was punished for it.
Sure, some of the mods are sadists. This is their community; they are the ones who have set the rules. They are the ones who decide how far is too far.
They were dicks about it. Sure. That's their perogative, though. Pursuing this further is going to lead to an unneccesary amount of drama between the remaining community - people we all think of as friends and compatriots, remember? I refuse to sit idly by and watch such bullshit tear this place up.
And my sentiments come from the belief that he did not hold much malicious thought towards us until the end.Ahahahah hahahahaha HAHAHAHAHAHA
Also, requesting permaban of Esifex for calling all the mods dicks >:DOH GOD HERE IT COMES
Ahahahah hahahahaha HAHAHAHAHAHA
No seriously, ahahahahhahahaha
He didn't hold malicious thought until the end? The dude was banned for 2 weeks for shitposting before this version of the forums, and when his account got deleted due to the software reset, instead of actually you know, reading the huge notes all over the forums saying "accounts have been reset due to software upgrade, please rereg", he immediately posted HOW DARE THE MODS DELETE MY ACCOUNT AND GO BACK ON THEIR WORD and threw up a giant shitstorm. This is what earned him his first perma.
This was over a year ago, so no, he's been a complete pain in the ass since day one.
Heated discussion != drama, or at least the drama that would 'tear this place up'. Sometimes things aren't all happiness and rainbows, but there is value in these kinds of discussions as well.
Take a look at this thread. Several people in it are a step and a half away from considering themselves being attacked, and when that happens, people defend themselves and their views jealously. Especially on the internet. I sit around and watch my friends' social groups get torn apart by miscommunication and little, tiny things, and I'm tired of watching it happen. MotK is the closest thing to a social group that I have, and I'm not gonna sit around when at the very least, I could try my damnedest to get people to calm down.
If you all really want to discuss and debate this, then at least lets all take a breather and come back to it tomorrow. When everyone has taken a step back and settled down a bit.
Do you think he was consciously spiting you, or was he just stupid and felt he was violated?
I dunno, I can't view that thread, but it seems that it was confusion and fear that drove him, not hate.

Oh, this is still going? Well.
Go check the thread at the other forum I linked again. He had been banned on other forums in the past and has bandodged with malicious intent and come out publicly and admitted this malicious intent. Given how many times he has bandodged here, I don't think it's at all a stretch to assume the situations were very similar, if not exactly the same.
Do you think he was consciously spiting you, or was he just stupid and felt he was violated?Even if he wasn't actively trying to cause trouble, which is debatable, it is still nothing more than the difference between committing a murder and running over a dozen people with your car because you could neither be bothered to stay at the speed limit nor to hit the brakes even though the collision was obvious to you every single time. :derp:

This will drop down if you let it drop down. Locking a thread to stifle conversation doesn't sit well with me. I want to see if your collective commitment to peace is strong enough that we don't have to lock this thread.
I suppose. I've gotten into much worse spats with Ammy/TSO in the past, so in comparison this didn't seem nearly as bad. :V It's probably a testament to our cohesion that we still consider each other friends to this day.Oh god he figured out my secret :ohdear:
Or they secretly hate me and just like to keep up appearances. :ohdear:

You know I don't hate you, and that I respect you a lot. Your words, though, that our motivation to laugh at this malicious dude comes from the same place as sexism and racism? Yeah, that was a tad over the top. That's all I was addressing. We're still good.Maybe to you but I still hate him >:(

Regarding the "Respect is earned, not given" I would like to say that I agree with this- To SOME degree. There IS a certain respect that you should give even strangers who as far as you know have done nothing to "earn" it. Would anyone here call going out of your way to mock someone you know absolutely nothing about anything but wrong?
we'll go ahead and use my former assistant manager, Keith, as an example.

I think Nobu was talking about psychological dehumanization, in which case he's actually somewhat right. I don't think he was implying that picking on this guy is somehow morally equivalent with racism.
I'm watching you, lot.(http://img684.imageshack.us/img684/2262/4321.jpg)
Maybe not directly, but I personally don't see a reason to cite those specific things in favor of simply citing the base of "psychological dehumanization" unless one is trying to passive-aggressively backhandedly accuse someone of being on the same level as those things.Maybe because those are some of the worse things that these emotions have caused, and thus are best for examplifiying why he doesn't like it. That is most likely the intent, and Nobu didn't realize that putting it that way would sound as insulting as it came of as.
Hell, I don't even get the 'dehumanizing' part. Maybe Vgamer is a swell guy in person. But his behavior and malicious intent here invites laughter. It's based on his actions as a human being, in other words; no one is stripping him of his humanity, or making fun of him for any reason other than his actions.
That's why it's off base to compare this to those other things, and I wish he would understand why that's a bit insulting. Also, I prefer no apology at all to the 'sorry you took a kneejerk reaction and were offended' non-apology.
And stop beating around the bush and just spit out who you're "morally outraged" at. Getting kind of tired of your passive-aggressive snipes and vague accusations.I think you in particular should be able to forgive somebody for unintendedly insulting somebodie's views and likening it to atrocities. :V

Kilga will probably laugh at me for putting so much faith in the community. So prove me right.
guys this was supposed to be fun
@Serp: Well, I think the main difference in moral outrage between this situation and a politician/celebrity being lambasted, if there is any, would be that in this case, one knows the people doing the dehumanizing (I think I agree with it, but I'm not 100% certain. I mean, that this was a dehumanizing situation. Something bugs me about it, I just haven't entirely ferreted it out), whereas usually it's just Generic Asshole With An Opinion Number Forty Six talking about celebrities/politicians and digging up their past and such.It's one thing to have someone innocent have garbage dug out about them and strewn across the floor. That is definitely a terrible thing. It's another to have someone who was an ass and treating everyone like shit suddenly have their behavior exposed for what it was when they got caught and tried to plead for yet another "last chance".
Kilga, you can laugh at me now if you like.
Nice job sabotaging yourselves, all.
I'm not even talking about that, I'm more annoyed he keeps on insisting he felt vibes of "evil feelings" and is trying to shame people but not actually coming out and saying "ok I think you and you are terrible people" etc.I agree that being clear about ones message would have been the better move in every way, and I understand that it must be annoying, seeing as it was still pretty obvious as to what comment made by whom he was referring to in particular.
If you got a problem with someone, come out and say it and let it stand on its own merits, instead of dodging the issue and getting in passive-aggressive snipes.
I've been watching this thread for god knows how long, but I still can't picture the entire story.
Do you think anyone can explain it to me in a summary?preferably in a script stylized after Dragon Ball Z :smug:[/tt]
