    I didn't even know there was an ignore button on here. And now knowing that I don't feel the need to use it on anyone not even on coolguy or sourcerfoot If I knew about it back then.

    I like the way you think, my friend. And here was I, thinking it would just be a thread of people posting ellipses. Maybe a few pictures.

    Oh damn. I just realized that the Conversation with Pictures thread is already sorta kinda a thread for rubbish posters...

    I guess I better go back to my realm and find stupid cat pictures to post. I'm clearly irredeemable.

    Son, I don't even know what you just said but I hope it wasn't derogatory. I don't think I could take two unprovoked attacks in one day.

    No!No!No!
    I did not mean to cause offense.
    Just rather suprised really, that the age range is so varied these days.

    I mean, most of the people here are older than me, (out of the regulars, I think Fawful is a few months younger, only slightly younger than my best friend in real life in fact).

    And I thought I was quite old for a forum fequenter.

    I'm just being a bit silly really.

    On the subject of mod stuff, we'll almost certainly make a poor call sometimes and I'd much rather get honest feedback on how people feel than have them silently stew about it. We're here for you and the community as a whole, not to impose a totalitarian regime. At the very least that kind of feedback reminds us to be mindful of how actions are perceived and to provide a decent level of transparency. Of course, feel free to let us know if/when we're doing a good job too. :p

    tl;dr

    Okay, no worries. Sorry for being sensitive but I was feeling a little victimised at the time (not by your good self). ;) I like you RetroVortex for what it's worth.

    Thanks. :D

    You're a pretty nice guy too.

    Interestingly enough, I think there are only two people in the world that truely hate me.

    One is some crazy guy that hung around on a forum I used to go to due to it being the place where these podcast guys went (the podcast was very awesome).

    But that guy hated everyone.

    The only other person that hates me is the indie dev Dan Marshall.
    Its mostly due to the fact I randomly joined his forum after loving his games, and never left.
    (Except for now... but I'm not saying why... >: D)
    Most of the people who are regulars on that forum are either other devs, or people who he knows personally in real life.
    Plus he's a grumpy old man who hates young people.

    You must be a very nice person. It would take me for ever to list the people who hate me, both on the Internet and in real life. There's a fair few people who love me though so it all evens out I guess. Also, I'm not known as the Marmite of this site for nothing!

    Sounds a bit like me regarding the chav's who regularly hang around outside my local shop at all hours.

    I love your posts too Davies. You're a cool guy, but this place is sort of G rated if you haven't noticed. It can't really handle all of that awesome...

    Well, at any rate, this place has a few rules. Nothing too serious.

    I don't give a shit what Avistew thinks. Nobody needs to change their posting habits to suit her fancy. Posting should be left up to each person's own judgment and the ruling of the mods.

    Also, Davies is a badass. Don't like that? Go be insecure about yourselves in comparison to way past cool guys like he and I somewhere else.

    Im pissed I read a article regarding a new Poirot episode being commisioned for 2012 went to read it agian and it says I have to be a paying subscriber to read it so the link I posted in the Poiror thread will just say that to everyone and I can't find another one saying it for free. Its a good thing no one read it anyway or id look sloppy. :p

    I like Davies, but in a place like this he can get banned. I've chosen my fights with people before. I've picked my own battles. But, if you pick a battle here, and do it a certain way, you might win your fight, but you're gonna get a bann.
  • edited June 2011
    Ooh, a ban. Oh no. If I get banned, all it means is that I'm then entirely outside their power to contain or control The Secret. I came close to getting fried on a forum once, but I actually managed to debate the mod DOWN and get him off my back. Why? Because I am invincible. And honestly, a ban from this place did me a world of good the last time it happened.
  • edited June 2011
    In the great game of life, there is really no point to pick a fight for no reason.
    Especially if said provocation is on the internet.
    In the end of the day all the energy spent on getting mad and typing angry words is wasted, if in the long run, that effort changes absolutely nothing.

    Depends on the way you "fight". Stating opinions, great. Argumenting, great. Repeating opinions over and over? Tiring, but OK. Personal insults and direct attacks on community members? Problem.

    The same could be said for getting happy and typing funny words, but that hasn't stopped me yet.

    I don't think they could ban you if they tried. If they did attempt to do so then this would happen:

    You're just too essential to the everyday activity of this forum, a bit like Silverwolfpet.

    I kind of view Silverwolfpet as the saintly Jesus of this forum, Secret Fawful as the mischievous Devil and Doodo! as the mortal man, caught between those two, struggling to make sense of it all.

    If you were to remove any one of these three elements the Internet would surely collapse in on itself, a bit like that house at the end of "Poltergeist".

    Ah now, being funny is different.
    Funny is like cement, it sticks people together and it provides stability, traits which generally tend to be a good thing.
    Whereas, anger tends to act more like a pesticide, it repels, it kills, and it leaves a rather unpleasant smell in the room....

    Thats the real diffrence between the light side of the force and dark side.

    Oh, like Joel Dreskin.

    I sense the perfect scenario for a Grickle video. I imagine the angry side shouting in monkey noises, much like this forum.

    Now I know what to get RetroVortex for Christmas this year...

    I'd get you 2 slippers but money's tight right now, what with the recession and all. Maybe you could just alternate which foot you wear it on every 10 minutes or so and try to distribute the heat that way.

    Sounds lovely, but what I really could do with is a new belt to beat my wife with.

    Don't worry, she likes it. Kinky lass. XD

    He could always just chop off a foot. The slipper wouldn't fit right on both feet anyways since it's stereospecific.

    I'm sure that you were merely distracted by the thoughtful, melancholic look upon her face.

    Very good point. When would be best for me to come over and remove your foot with a cleaver RetroVortex? I'll just assume tomorrow is okay and catch a plane in the next hour. I'll even sneak in and perform the operation whilst you sleep, as not to awake you from your slumber. See you soon.

    *heads off to catch plane*
