DonKarnage 189 Posted June 8, 2016 How come I don't get any??? Am I not curt? Am I not opinionated? What must I do!? tell people they are wrong... You're wrong. You have to tell them they're wrong and then go on to explain in detail how they're wrong. The right way to do that is to directly quote from some key document (like a rule book). You can also just resort to a lot of words you pulled out of your @$$, but that may actually being deserving of at least some level of negative reply. =) 1 Snipafist reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ginkapo 9,320 Posted June 8, 2016 Absurd? Yeap probably almost certainly. But this is the internet and with anonymity comes the ability to be a complete drop kick. If only we could take the anonymity out of places like this. Which is really odd in a way... because of they way they sent it... I have meatspace Profile Information... At least a Name, as well as Location in the world, that was all given freely by Facebook... I mean, it might be faked and all... But who knows... Is it Admiral Nelson?

Drasnighta 26,831 Posted June 8, 2016 I don't know. I havn't really looked into profiles here to see if any information correlates - and of course, Nelson's profile is now locked.... Was he from Indiana? 1 Lyraeus reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's how ballers do it. 3 Lyraeus, Viperous and Green Knight reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blail Blerg 7,585 Posted June 8, 2016 I got some extreme hate mail from WonderWaagh on the xwing forums. Im so glad that egotistic, sadistic ******-face isn't on the forums anymore. 1 Lyraeus reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Felswrath 678 Posted June 14, 2016 I'm usually over on the Imperial Assault forum more than this, as I prefer that game. So I'm scrolling through here looking for Boba Rick and PatrickMahan. They are archenemies as Rick is a complete Disney defender, and Pat is strictly Legends. Things can get really nasty there especially when Rick does idiotic things like starting a topic that essentially said Legends fans should just suck it because the Mouse is here to stay for now!

Vykes 1,927 Posted June 15, 2016 Well Fel, that might be because the Mouse is here to stay and Legends fans should just suck it. Heh. It. Like the console wars, that whole thing is pointless to me. You can always take good stuff from both sides, but damned if people don't get riled up about it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drasnighta 26,831 Posted June 15, 2016 I've yet to buy a Console.Wait, I lie. I bought a broken PS2 a few years back for $2 so I could harvest its BIOS to run an emulator for a friend. But yes.I've never actually played a game on a Console. 1 Vykes reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vykes 1,927 Posted June 15, 2016 That's probably the smart choice, Dras. Thanks to the Shoppers points here I picked up a PS4 (ironically employing the use of an 'over aged' friend to pick up the seniors discount. Like drinking in high school, though I never did that... oye) and while neat, I'm still waiting for something to make it completely worthwhile. Bloody Bethesda, I was in your last good one! -shakes fists in impotent fury- Which is the reason I changed my name some... though that's for the other thread another time. And like the console war, it's easy to get absorbed in a flashpoint debate that garners you a lot of hate mail or degrades people's opinions of oneself just by picking a side. For me, the immobilizer is cool, Thrawn series neat, horse-people great, Vong... umm... no comment. I have no strong opinion one way or another, it makes me mostly immune to hate mail, but it also keeps me from getting much in the way of fan mail.

TK 421 64 Posted June 18, 2016 (edited) I write, a lot. The more you write, the more you'll make people mad. This is the internet, meaning there are trolls and someone is always offended. Best thing to do is be kind when writing to others and control your own tone as best as you can. In the end, someone will always project his (or her) attitude on to you and accuse you of things you didn't do or "being a jerk." As long as my own conscience is clear, then I don't sweat it. If someone is right or has a valid observation, then I thank her (or him), ask forgiveness, learn from it, and move on. I also distinguish that some things I write are my own personal preference and opinions. Therefore I never get upset if someone disagrees with me or doesn't follow my advice. If you offend me, I simply laugh behind my computer and move on. Life is still more important than choosing to be upset with you.

KrisSherriff 853 Posted June 23, 2016 If it makes you feel any better Paul I hate you so much that I often can't even formulate words to type in my hate mail to you...On the other hand, I would rather have people tell me what they don't like than just not bother Hate mail is how you know you have made it!

Drasnighta 26,831 Posted June 23, 2016 Besides, you can hate me vicariously! You can go out of your way to tell Matt how bad of a player he is, and then watch him beat me! 1 KrisSherriff reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
