He clearly wanted other people to discuss his dilemma, hence why I'm discussing it.

 

And you clearly wanted people to discuss your point by submitting your post on a public forum.

 

Conversely, being made fun of by a stranger is unwanted, hence why the OP should silence the stranger (ignore list, etc).

 

I thought I already went over this with you. Unlike me, you do not catch on very fast. Here it is once more: It is not getting "picked on" or "bullied" that bothers him as he blatantly pointed out himself, as did others - it is the mentality people have that there should only be one universal way to play the game which is the cause of him complaining. Not that he feels threatened - that he feels the popular opinion is stupid.

 

The ignore/chat-off feature is not only irrelevant, but it is often a terrible suggestion too. People prefer being social on MMOs. Furthermore, if OP puts someone on the ignore list, that does not negate the fact that he thinks their opinion is foolish and that he wants to criticize it on the forums. How would putting the people who have annoyed him on the ignore list alter the composition of this rant?

 

Your point that I should be ignoring the OP's rant would be valid if I were knocking at his bedroom door, demanding that he provide an explanation. As it so happens, he brought the discussion to me.

 

OP never knocked on someone's bedroom door demanding a response to his rant, so your analogy is a bit flawed. The fact of the matter is that whilst criticizing his inability to brush trivial stupid issues off, you are continuously (even moreso than the OP is) discussing, bumping, and even exacerbating a trivial issue that could just as easily be brushed off. Some might even venture to call it irony. But yet, there is something in your head that tells you that you're an exception - you're different. Correct me if I am wrong, but I'm guessing it's the God-Complex?

 

Here's a pretty fair indicator of who cares the most:

 

Obtaurian 43

CrustyGoblinFoot 28

Ring_World 14

bladewing 14

FirenLazah 13

Ginger_Warrior 12

All_Is_Great 12

 

I'm gaining on you though. ;)

 

You're almost as mad as OP. Almost.

I am not mad at you. Just disappointed. But then, that is why I come here. To be let down by society in order to help motivate me in making a difference in this depressing world. I thank you.

I come here to argue, but it's difficult when your opponent uses backward reasoning to somehow place you in the subject's shoes, as if I had posted a thread exclaiming my woes and my inability to use the ignore list. :|

The analogy is suitable. The fact of the matter is that whilst criticizing his inability to brush trivial stupid issues off, you are continuously (even moreso than the OP is) discussing, bumping, and even exacerbating a trivial issue that could just as easily be brushed off. Some might even venture to call it irony. You have both pointed out something that bothers you (and fully expected the public's input since you've both submitted your point on a public forum), instead of you both choosing to ignore it.

 

So, in conclusion: Stop crying just because you lost a debate. There's an ignore feature for those who are butthurt by what strangers have to say.

Lol, Modern "Warefare".

You seem to be getting very angry over a silly debate. :)

 

I don't know how many times I have to tell you that I enjoy arguing before you realize that you're just contributing to my amusement. The OP doesn't bother me at all, nor does his inability to use his ignore list. I'm simply pointing out that he's being illogical and unreasonable by choosing to not use the tools that would allow him to cut willows in peace. Just because you are unable to argue without becoming emotionally involved, does not mean that everyone does the same -- especially me.

 

In before "then wai dont u ignore it becuz you can ignore it too so YER AN IRONY."

Well? Are you gonna at least answer the question?

I have -- many times over, actually. I won't ignore it because you keep responding and it keeps making me happier and happier. :)

But why do you care so much? Do you see what I'm getting at here?

 

You weren't just pointing something out - you kept asking many times over "y do u care? y dont u just IGNAR?".

 

I won't ignore it because you keep responding and it keeps making me happier and happier.

 

I'm trying to catch up in posts to take some of the spotlight off you, but you keep hindering the process.

Because I like to argue. I keep saying that. :unsure:

As for you liking to argue, I'm pretty sure you liking to vent your annoyances is a pretty good defense too.

I was thinking the same thing.

 

Ob, why do you care about arguing about that as opposed to something more important? {recurring--->>}

The beauty of using forums is that I have all of these topics to choose from, and I don't have to limit myself to just one. You'll find that I engage in many discussions/debates across many sub-forums and on many subjects, usually simultaneously.

 

As an aside, you might be interested in perusing through older posts of mine -- I can be quite passionate when it comes to subjects that I really care about (the ice strykewyrms update comes to mind).

Correct me if I'm wrong, but are you asking why I'm arguing this particular issue rather than a more important one? Reread my quoted post for your answer.

GUYS, SHUT UP.

 

Kidding, I love Obt, so no, but isn't it more than a little off topic to be arguing about arguing?

I expected to come back for more arguing about the topic itself. :mellow:

Needless to say, I was disappointed, yet entertained.

why can't OP use runescape's ignore feature? and why can't crusty use tip.it's ignore feature?

why can't OP use runescape's ignore feature? and why can't crusty use tip.it's ignore feature?

 

Why should I ignore that which intrigues me the most?

#-o They were rhetorical questions. This is was getting at: I was trying to draw a parallel between you excessively asking OP why he cared so much even after he gave you more than enough responses, hence my "recurring".

okay, i was just under the impression that you told about half a dozen people to gtfo this thread. i'm happy to be wrong.

Wtf bro? If anything I was nudging about half a dozen people to continue debating in this thread because I find it enjoyable.

 

i'm happy to be wrong.

 

There are no losers. Only learners and winners.

And it seems like you (crusty) think that it is the job of EVERYONE IN RUNESCAPE to not say anything rather then OP to turn chat off before the butt hurt sets in.

 

No, my belief is that, while you are completely free to bother him, it is also pretty funny, maybe even ironic, for a Runescaper to care about how another player is playing Runescape so much (perhaps even implying that it's serious business or something). I mean you're already wasting time just by logging in. But hey, if you want to spend your precious time figuring out why someone is doing a certain task in a roleplaying game on the internet, THEN TO EACH HIS OWN I GUESS. I am free to find the humor in that, is all.

 

/now thread

It really comes down to, do you think that OP should turn chat off if he is being verbally harassed (thats how he describes it lol) or is it the responsibility of the noob not to care?

 

If I think OP's style of playing is stupid, I will say something - OP has either the choice or explaining why his style or playing is fun to him or to ignore me.

 

 

And it seems like you (crusty) think that it is the job of EVERYONE IN RUNESCAPE to not say anything rather then OP to turn chat off before the butt hurt sets in.

 

Its unrealistic to expect everyone to suddenly mind their own business, so it is the responsibility of OP to manage who he talks to.

 

/thread

 

The last 2 posts = "my opinion is right, therefor everyone else in the thread is wrong so I will now type /thread"

 

I got over this rant like..3 weeks ago by the way.
