Guess i got lucky then. Got 3 Effigies in my 1st hour and 3 in my last. Waiting for that drystreak now :\

~25k Cannonballs. ~7 Hours. Exp on counter is just from opening them.

94% Humidity.

1st picture looks like you're holding a Bud. If infact you are, i don't know how anyone could get drunk on that. Not to mention even drink it. Yuck!

You look a lot like this Palestinian guy i used to know :o

If you had more conservative with what you posted at the start, then your posts probably wouldn't have come under attack. If you had said something like "E-dating is bad becuase you are more at risk from online predators than through real life dating" then that is something people probably would agree with. True, which backs the fact that people are fast to assume the negative as apposed to "he might be putting it on a bit thick, but i know where he's coming from". But what's done cannot be undone nor should it. Also i probably should say that my initial response was made with ignorance as i was referring mostly to the incidents that have occurred where i live rather than universal.

All depends on the type of person you are or he/she is (the one you're dating). Some people go ballistic when you keep the tiniest thing a secret. Whether it's a lie or not. It's the whole "omission is betrayal" thing i guess. If you keep something a secret they might assume you're hiding it for a reason, good or bad. Usually they're going to think the latter.

@ Ginger: Obviously when i said "E-dating is for cowards, pedophiles, molesters, etc." it might have been a harsh generalization. Obviously not EVERYONE that uses those sites are pedophiles, molesters, etc. But a staggering amount of them are. Probably a minority, i wouldn't know. I've heard of more than enough bad cases to back my opinion (now lets all remember opinions =/= fact and therefor are allowed to be ignorant). And i like how you put words in my mouth. Because of course i said its the weapon of choice for pedophiles and molesters. But once again, i couldn't care less. And yes, you have given me the chance to back my claims, but frankly i can't be bothered. If you're so concerned that what i'm saying is false or miss-informing then you're more than welcome to research why i might say that. I just can not be bothered to spend my time searching the databases of newspapers to prove someone i do not know, nor care about wrong. And i couldn't be bothered any less if that person got any kicks out of proving me wrong. I'm sure you can understand that? @istolethepie: That post was directed at Ginger. If you feel it applies to you, then that's your problem. @Nomrom: Assume everything i said is false and/or fabricated. @Jeff: " Obviously when i said "E-dating is for cowards, pedophiles, molesters, etc." it might have been a harsh generalization.

Good. Then finding a source for your claim shouldn't be too much to ask for then, would it? It's either a notable amount, in which case newpapers should be covering it (thus, you can post URLs here); or it isn't notable and, basically, you're wrong. I'd argue the opposite. Given the vast quantities of information we freely store on the Internet (think of how much we give Facebook alone), the lack of security guarding this information, it wouldn't be too difficult to find the identity of someone fairly quickly, even if they were using pseudonyms as we do around the Tip.It Forum. To use dating websites you also need access to the Internet, so either you need an Internet cafe, in which case you're on CCTV, or you need a supplier, in which case there's a contract, in which case there's a bank account and a paper trail. Compare that to a lonely hearts column in a newspaper where frankly, I could put down any name I wanted and no-one would know any better. I don't actually understand what any of the above has to do with anything previously discussed in this thread. I mean, quite apart from the racist undertone, it's totally irrelevent. Africa = Continent =/= Race. Therefore saying it has a racist undertone =/= invalid. As for it being irrelevant. It's going to be really hard for me to actually explain what i mean by this if you haven't lived in Africa yourself. And no matter how i say it, it WILL sound like i'm taking a bash at a certain race even if im actually trying to justify their way of thinking. As for this If you're in need of any evidence, the internet is at your disposal. This is not a court case, and i do not need to defend myself. I have no point to prove, but if you feel like you need to prove something you're more than welcome to do find whatever you can to do so. If you're ignorant enough to think i'm wrong, then that's an intellectual disability you're going to have to live with. I can't help you there.

I see no need to argue his point when Google can do my arguing for me. Do a simple search. The amount of people that have been molested, raped, murdered or attempts at any of the aforementioned, due to e-dating are staggering. In the school i used to go to, heck even in the country i used to live in, this happened so often. It was on the news at least once every week or two. Yes, the same thing might happen when you date the old fashioned way, but by staying away from e-dating you make it a lot harder for yourself to fall victim to this. Its a lot easier to create a fake persona on an internet dating site than it is creating (and living) by this fake persona in real life. Now you might argue that this is more likely to happen in a 3rd world country due to the lack of knowledge or understanding (and by that i mean understanding that the internet is full of lies **), but they are still people like you and me thus making my argument somewhat valid although just (or more common) within a certain community. **You might find it funny that i mention this: "and by that i mean understanding that the internet is full of lies". But once again you would be surprised how uninformed a lot of people in Africa are about what the internet really is.

Yes, there is something wrong with that. It is completely illogical and useless. In addition, your generalization of e-daters as coward, pedophiles, or molesters is highly offensive and untrue. Please avoid ad hominems as well :thumbup: By that i take it you're an e-dater. Sorry for offending you, really :'(

This post is even more humorous with how you used 'meat' instead of 'meet.' Excuse my bad spelling and grammar. I grew up in a 3rd world country with substandard a substandard english education. Qatar eh? I'm afraid it's worse than that. South Africa.

You seem mad about something that doesn't affect you. Edit: Shoot, is it possible to resize images without editing them myself? He asked for an opinion. I gave mine. Something wrong with that? Guess you have a substandard english education just like me, seeing as you have a hard time understanding that.

E-Dating is lolworthy. Go outside and meat a real person whom you can touch, smell, feel, hear, see, hug, kiss, etc. E-dating is for cowards, pedophiles, molesters, etc.

Hi.

Few weeks break from RS. Been back for ~3 days. Claw drop on 1st day. Cheers TDs.

You sir, are a waste of my time. Still, you've once again proven my point. And i believe you are a waste of the skin you are in. The world is a lovely place is it not? Please! Are we going to have this thread locked too? I don't see where the problem is. Jaffy was trollbaiting and i haven't eaten in a while.

Actually, that was not the case. I know the source from which you speak since I happen to be in it too, and the message of which you speak was a response to help offered by certain players who had previously agreed to do so. Weren't you complaining about things being taken out of context? :shame: Actually no, i wasnt the one that complained about that. Get your facts straight then try again. Derp :wall:

H&A- Infuriating to give good advice, it needs some form of quality control AoW- Same thing, much of it is poor or out of date, it needs quality control Exactly. And Obt was kind enought to quote a piece that mentioned how the staff does not have the Boss Hunting power some of the users have therefor seeking help from the better players to update their out of date guides. Sadly they just chased away some of the only people with the ability to help them update their guides. I see great display of logic.

Wish i didnt miss that :(

Age verification on the internet is impossible. Plus, providing any type of platform for elections would be ridiculous. Even in the US, which is a democracy, elections are still up to an electoral college. Why? Because the general population generally has no idea who they're electing. Even in a forum like this, which is pretty close to being ideal, it goes to show that people will nitpick anything. Good point.

Have you heard of the term "probation". Clearly the person would be popular for a reason anyway. Seemingly bladewing is "popular" that doesn't mean he would make a great mod at all. Also, before you start insulting members of the moderation team you should know that just a couple of weeks before bladewing was banned Jimmy sent him a PM asking him what was up as he'd noticed that his attitude seemed to have changed recently. I assume Bladewing didn't mention this though did he? I don't know what the correspondence between the two of them were other than this but he was offering to help bladewing to try and avoid him getting banned if he continued posting the way he did. Unfortunately that's exactly what ended up happening. Blade would have made a better mod than 90% of the current mods (i would say 100% but i m not sure i know who all the mods are). So i fail to see your point.
