We have a serious problem here...

In Flashlights case that seems to boomerang back on him a lot.

To be fair I do see (and appreciate) the occasional "genuine" post from Flashlight.

In such a case, it becomes the question of whether or not one finds it worthwhile to locate a speck of genuine humanity amongst the ten tons of dross in which it sits. For you? Perhaps. For myself? Not anymore.

kind of like the SCOTUS definition of "obscene" - you know it when you see it.

Take Flashy for example - when I was the ultimate representation of SocialCon Pharisee Republican, he was the opposite, and delighted in taking a piss on every argument I made. Now that I'm out of that bubble, and holding many different views than I did, he's often expressing the very same positions I once did. Y'all know what changed about me, but he hasn't experienced any epiphany - he just flipped for shits and giggles, and a couple of times in the past he straight out said "I'm just here to fuck with you people, I don't mean ANYTHING I say"

Actions speak louder than words.

Indeed they do.

I assure you it's purely accidental.

I demand you stop pointing that out or I'm leaving forever.

Guess I'm not on the ignore list. Another list I didn't make!

Why would you be on the ignore list anyway? You're not at all like Flashy or gturner.

No, but he did stay at a Holiday Inn Express.

When fools, douchebags and dipshits talk endlessly about you in the third person even when you're not logged on, you know you've won.

It's an amusing circle jerk they have going on though, endlessly repeating variations on "Flashy is worthless, Flashy brings nothing to the table, Flashy kicks puppies, Flashy is a poopyhead...."

Just like Liet, @John is "ignoring" me by telling anyone he can get to listen just how horrible I am and nobody should pay attention to wittle ole' me.

Yup, the @John = @Liet comparison is very, very accurate.

@gturner isn't back. Neither is @Paladin.

I guess the new cabal of Krieg, Gul, ER & Ancalagon (KAGER) doesn't share Mrs. A's concerns.

Yeah.....you're not helping.

it's not in the third person unless one is speaking of themselves.

Like this: "Nova finds conceited bragging tedious and amusing"

This is incorrect. Do we have a grammar nazi smiley?

I'm not helping, huh?

So far I don't see @gturner back. I don't see @Paladin back.

What exactly do you think *you're* accomplishing? Or are you trying to accomplish anything?

Now they've changed the rules to specifically target another member, namely @Dinner. So the bullshit keeps on dropping.

I guess if you think that a Wordforge consisting of only John, Gul, Anna & Ancalagon is something worth visiting on a regular basis, you're in hog heaven right about now.

No, you're not.

Damn, son. I'm trying! Paladin is one of my favorite people here and I get why being arrogantly dismissed like an annoying toddler would make him say fuck it and leave.

You're not helping because you're known for being hostile and combative for the fun of it. Paladin isn't like that and neither am I. Quit trying to taint my mission!

Was this supposed to be directed at me or the community at large?

If they gave a shit about your "diplomatic" approach, @gturner & @Paladin would already be back.

But by all means, keep trying to reason with them. Eventually you'll see the uselessness of it.

Palladium is free to come back. There has been a move towards change, if he wants to carry on a sulk regardless then that's his bag.

"They" are 4 different people with 4 different opinions/perspectives and this isn't their full time job. I'm giving them time to respond without being a pushy little bitch about it because that is the most strategic move.

And then I'll see if someone with paladin's email info will send him my email and I'll try it from the other side. What's the alternative? Be mad? What will that accomplish?

Arguing with people who blatantly say they don't care about your opinion is, indeed, pointless.

The alternative is to go build your own sandbox.

Oh, I care plenty about Mrs. A's thought. Honestly,it was her more than anyone that got me to take a step back because she rarely if ever gets caught up in board drama. Her and Spaceturkey, actually.

You, I couldn't care less about. You're a known shitgibbon and your only reason to post here is to stir the pot. You don't care a whit about the board and everyone who disagreed with gturner's ban knows this.

Cool!

Get to it, then

Except that you stalk my every post, and take every opportunity to tell anyone who's listening how little you care about me.

Hmmm....I don't care about WF, yet I've been posting here for 13 years.

I care plenty about WF. I just disagree with what you and the rest of your little band of shitmuffins are doing with it.

You won't be invited.

I think that's a little unfair. He asked a reasonable question in a respectful manner in the Help Desk and got this:

"He was a cancer. As already stated, there isn't a more precise, rule based answer. Things are going to change around here or Wordforge is going to become another 4Chan. Nobody wants to pay for that shit, so some changes are coming. And no, they aren't all worked out, so don't ask. But if it looks like 4chan (and some common sense is required here), then it probably won't fly."

I think Gul was sick and tired of all the meltdowns and hysterical fits being thrown and he took it out on the wrong person. It happens. If it woulda been me who got that response from Gul, I would have been like Ugh - RUDE! and moved on, but it wasn't.

Fuckin' men and their pride. Gah!

All I know is I'd rather have to sift through 10 gturners than lose a Paladin.

It would probably help if gul wasn't such an elitist asshole.

I was mostly setting up the joke but my intention was when one accuses someone of speaking in the third person, they are talking about that person referring to themselves by name ("Can you smell what the Rock is cooking?" for example)

But yeah, technically you are correct.
