Brian, if I had to make one complaint about the book... - Page 3

My two cents on the whole "we're bastards" thing? Well, first, yes we are. Or were. But we're learning.

Kairamek · 05-09-2005, 10:53 AM

Let me quote the Dungeon and Dragon Player's Handbook. "Humans tend toward no particular alignment, not even neutrality. The best and the worst are found amoung them." That's pretty much my stance. I was pointing out the worst intentionally as a counterpoint to an earlier statement. You want positive? How about this: According to the company paper, Wal-Mart, the bastion of disposable consumerism, reciently turned over a $300 million check to Children's Miracle Network. But that's not what makes it into the 6 o'clock News. Both what does make it into the 6 o'clock News and reason it makes it in are two seperate problems.

Two things. 1) You are more likely to be sensitive to things you are. For example, I'm a bit spastic and high strung, and those are two character traits that annoy me in other people. 2) I never siad I was the only one who could see the evil of humanity. Don't put words in my mouth, it makes me very angry very fast.

If you can't control your temper, maybe you'd better stay away from threads where anything more involved than "do u say coke, soda, or pop wich 1 is right????" is being talked over.

Kairamek · 05-09-2005, 11:59 AM

Quite the opposite, I have excelent temper control. There are just a few things that push my buttons, such as words being put in my mouth. Add to that descrimination, crimes of a sexual nature, accusing me of either, drunk driving, and if I'm in the right mood, stupidity. A few random other things will get my goat if I'm in the proper frame of mind. For example, yesterday I wasn't in the mood to deal with what I percieved to be a condencending attitude. You see my reaction to what I believed was condencendance. Note the emphasis as I don't actually know what tone was intended. And that was extremely mild for me. Which is why I have such good temper control. When I loose it, it is very lost. Feelings get the kind of hurt usually assosiated with a nasty car wreck.

So as not to be completely unrelated, will the publisher allow you to have two versions? One would be the original all-in-one format and the other would be three seperate books. Thus you would give people the choice they so desperatily want to call free will. (Like picking brands of cola!)

Well, as long as you recognize that humanity isn't in an infinite doom spiral of destruction.

And if you think your temper is bad, you should see mine. Seriously. The last time I got really furious, great sheets of ethereal flames roared from my mortal frame at the speed of light and obliterated Pyongyang. (Don't ask why I was in North Korea at the time.) Oh, you say that's unlikely? Have you been to Pyongyang lately?

Kairamek · 05-23-2005, 06:27 AM

Great sheets of etherial flames? Okay Sparky, next time pick a superpower that is NOT assosiated with forum in which you are posting. It's funnier.

shiney · 05-23-2005, 07:07 AM

Enough of this crap. Kairamek, Mashirosen gave you friendly advice. Seems you didn't heed it, which is why I am giving you an official warning. Keep up this attitude and that warning will become a ban. I am the poster boy for angry fast, but I also cool down fast. Cause when I get angry, I make the problems go away.

Only takes maybe ten clicks and your username.

Do settle down.

Edit: Upon investigation, it seems you got a warning two weeks ago as well. Since this is your second offense in a short period of time, bye bye for a couple of weeks. And please don't register another account in the meantime, since then we'll just have to permanently ban you.

Gary Thunder · 05-25-2005, 03:26 PM

Okay, Shiney, what the hell? I mean, Kairamek was being slightly hostile, but is that really an offense? Hell's barnacles, man, I visit a forum where people are completely free to post ten pages on the exact points of why a certain person's mother is a prostitute, and yet it's mostly civil enough. What you did seems a little much, honestly.

Kurosen · 05-25-2005, 03:58 PM

That's great for those forums, but they aren't this one. We run a pretty tight ship around here. He got a couple warnings and got banned. It's only temporary anyway.

***RaiRai*** · 05-25-2005, 03:58 PM

There were reasons for the banning, I don't feel that Shiney needs to explain himself. He did post the reason for the ban, as Kairamek had already had previous warnings which, in time, warrant a temporary ban. Nothing to get yourself too worked up about.

(Damn you Brian, one click ahead!)
