Off-hand things and tl;dr's could be written as an off-hand note or a tl;dr. The problem I have with it is the fact that its an obtrusive eyesore. It's like looking at a ruined rose garden, wind turbines in countrysides, flashing banners that claim you're a one in a million winner, a really stormy/cloudy day, etc. It's like a fly that just wouldn't go away.

 

Oh, and to be absolutely frank, its arrogant to quote yourself. I'm sure there's agreement across the boards that it is rather annoying, but most rather not say because it may be deemed as offensive. My objective isn't to be offensive - my objective is to help you by offering critique.

 

Banned for forcing me to write a two paragraph reply, discounting this sentence.

 

EDIT - eh, banned for getting in the way.

Banned because this one's still learning how to do those better. Therefore, you're part of a group who would take away other's enjoyment, effectively "throwing out the baby with the bathwater" as the old adages go. If this one stops, it's a double-edged sword, as it means those who like it lose something while the rest get what they want. Unluckily for this one, they would hate to be marked with the stigma of caving to peer pressure. :mellow:

 

BTW, it's not quoting this one's self... It's just this one summarizing, and/or throwing an off-hand thought to the most unusual spot... Also, this one doesn't attempt to be arrogant, or they wouldn't explain themself. :ugeek:

(p.s.: And this one is starting to get a little upset... Let's drop this topic and move on to something else.)

When you refer to taking away other's enjoyment, do you mean your own? If so, then I have no moral qualms against doing so. It's called adapting - I don't believe that being reluctant to change, or simply being stubborn would really be beneficial to anyone, except maybe to save your ego.

 

You have to realise that those who like your quotes are probably a considerably small section of the community, given that so many have expressed a dislike of it (I can't show you because I don't have access to staff boards, but I act as a witness in that regard).

 

I don't mean to upset you, but an objective of mine is to inform you that this has been identified as an issue, even if you were unaware of it for over a year. We all have our own quirks, but when it starts becoming rather obtrusive to audience you're aiming your messages at, then you've got a problem.

 

Could you briefly show me how you would compose a formal post, so I could offer an alternate style? I'll show you what I mean if you could do that.

 

Banned for replying when you're uncomfortable with the conversation.

Banned for not dropping the subject and moving on... This is getting everyone else's brains stuck in park. :wall:

(p.s.: Did you know your last name change was the same day that FF 3.6.27 was released?)

Banned for posting trivia.

 

I would move on if you would - but you gave a response, so I'd write a further response to address your points within your arguments. I'm happy to continue with the dispute, but if you're uncomfortable with it, then it's your responsibility to stop - not mine.

 

Do you want to move on though, or do you feel you've got more to say about it? It appears that you do want the last word, but you don't want to keep the discussion going, so you're in a bit of an odd position of deciding.

 

It's not just about personal preference here, since your choices affect other people rather directly.

Banned for writing too much.

I approve of your ban. Banned so you may ban again.

Banned for being the crew leader.

Banned cus you were faster thn me >.>

Banned for the persistent use of text-speak.

Banned for making assumptions.

Banned for not illustrating them, and thus making your claim unsubstantiated.

Banned so no one else can ban you!

Banned because you post way to much...

Banned because you sir are a liar!

Banned for being lame.

Banned for not being more original...

Banned because it's a good thing we have new people in here! Bad things happen when the playerbase gets stale. :huh:

 

 

~D. V. "Add, or die!" Devnull

Instead of banning, I shall throw you into my signature whilst keeping you barely alive.

Banned for double posting.

Banned because I forgot there was another page to look on first.

Banned because somewhere in the United States there is a mansion full of illegal immigrants from Russia.

 

Some guy drove around the neighborhood and saw that mansion. He went in there and noticed the Russians who were making drugs. So he shot a bunch of them, the Russians weren't happy about that so they tried to kill the man. None of the Russians were able to hit the man who was shooting the Russians, so one by one that man shot all the Russians.

 

After he was done he went the hell outta there and home.

Cool, banned for making sense.

BTW, who is Kony?

Banned for talking about Joseph Kony.

Banned for the same.
