Total Posts: 24 | alright people everyone keeps posting these "idiots" threads so i thought i'd interject something. i have every right to dislike someones choice in a career, it is my constitutional right. and im not the kinda person who just sits here and lets people insult me or my intelligence ( ie calling someone a noob). so why don't you people toughen up a little and stop posting woe is me threads. if you disagree with something i say, which most of you will at one time or another because im a conterversial kind of guy, then say something to me. i posted my email for that exact purpose. and if you people are going to keep posting stupid threads about the same thing, talkin about a person youll never meet and quite frankly doesnt give a flying F#$5 what you people think about him, then just change the name of this site to flames-r-us so people wont be mislead people into thinking this is a site were people talk about calculators with other educated people. so again i say, you got something to say to me say it to me don't just sit here in your little pools of self loathing and keep talkin to yourself. |

Edit | You aren't a n00b. You're a nub. Which is worse, because it means you're a n00b who causes nothing but trouble. And from what I've seen, your conversations haven't exactly been intelligent (demonstrated by your confusing signature that could be considered a drug reference.) Also, it IS your Constitutional right to voice your opinion, but it is also our right to do the same thing, and even assemble. You have insulted people from this online community and we simply rallied against you. You have no discretion, it appears. You attack the most aggressive person on this forum probably just to start an argument.
As for the "woe is me" topics you mention, those people were either not involved with the situation directly and wanted to voice their opinion or wanted to defend their position since you insulted them. Yes, you have a right to insult people. We can't stop you. (Well, that's not entirely true, an admin can ban you.) But that doesn't mean you should do it, because it is very bad taste to do so. It casts you as an immature and unintelligent person. Before you say anything about how "Jc, you're such a hypocrite, you're insulting me!", think about what good that would do you. Would it make you appear more violent, create an argument, end with someone flaming and getting banned? I apologize for the effects this may or may not have on you (you said yourself that you have some intelligence... let's see if you're right!), and hopefully, this won't end in some sort of "violence."
This really isn't the kind of thing I want to see today, and frankly, I wish the topic Idiots hadn't been created, because it just makes things worse. |

Total Posts: 939 | I see a reason to keep it open, so I can say the following:
If I see any threads similar to this, where one user complains about some other users, I am going to summarily delete it. Not lock it, delete it. If you keep posting it, then I'll figure out how to ban you. If the other admins disagree with this, you know where to reach me. This is ridiculous. You're acting like 7 year olds, and I know you're older than that. If you aren't, then you should act like you are since most 7 year olds wouldn't even know how to use the Internet like you are.
OK, now I don't see a reason to keep this topic open. |
