We get the point, Thunderclaw! Now leave!

[ThunderClaw]

You could ask me a question, but I'd jsut look at you funny for a minute and then jam this can of Diet Pepsi into your skull.

Why? Because I have an empty can of Diet Pepsi and I need to get rid of it.

[Mwerp]

Oh snap
Well I'm better than it
AND my empty root beer can
PUT TOGETHER

For the millionth time, I have not come here to piss anyone off, I have come here to make a point. Lack of evidence does not constitute proof.

How many people has TC pissed off? Why do you think there is this thread? You have pissed people off with your "holier than thou" attitude. Also you seem to have read only the first two sentences of my post cause your post was only talking about my "jumping to conclusions" in regard to pissing everyone off. Do i need to repost my post? You think you are better than everyone and you are actually wondering why people dont like you. Amazing

Basically, when I surveyed this forum as an anonymous guest, I noticed a number of people with obvious overdoses of self pride. After establishing some concrete evidence with the initial routine, I reverted to logic and asked "What can change the nature of a man?" After the answer, the question became, "And you really think you're that powerful?"

so basically you came here to prove that self pride is wrong and we're a bunch of flamers.
Such stupidity i could have told you that without you going thru your complex little plan of stupidity.

Are you truley that lacking in a social life to do that?!?!!? If you are i seriously recommend some pychological help cause that scares me. Dead serious.

You seem to think that he doesn't understand he's pissed people off.

That is very foolish.

It's a little hard to NOT notice when you've gotten under some people's skin, especially when you know what you post is likely to cause it. It's all for a good cause, though. Already, I've noticed a great maturation of this board, pretty much over just this issue.

Things aren't so cozy anymore, neh?

[ThunderClaw]

I'm perfectly aware why people don't like me because I have NOT ONLY EXPLICTLY ACKNOWLEDGED THAT, I HAVE OFFERED PLAUSIBLE EXPLANATIONS AS TO WHY. Your own little "ppl h8 u bcuz u r dum" falls apart because while I initially acted like an arrogant bastard, I stopped and and offered a completely logical explanation as to why. Thusly, if people continue to hate me, it is a personal reservation of theirs. I'm only adding 2 and 2 to make 4 here.

dontcare: Besides reckless oversimplification, you're entirely missing the EFFECT of your alternative. Hasn't that been tried a million times already? Every other time somebody logs on, you can find somebody else telling them 'u do this bad specialkthnxbye'. I'd be ignored in an instant if I did something like that, so I conceived of a new, fresh approach to it that targets the ROOT of the issue: the fact that people can think too much of themselves, instead of the EFFECT of the issue, flaming.

And must a creative person always have some sort of flaw that totally discredits anything they might have said? I actually have a rather healthy social life which includes a tight knot of 4 friends (one of those 'the guys' gangs) and a fiancee. Is it so hard to believe that I simply wanted to prove a point, nothing more, nothing less, and no strings attached? Why?

This has got to be...downright...the most boring thread ever. Man, I must have way too much time to read it all.

ThunderClaw....I'm not sure what point you were making, but please don't respond with another long ass post explaining what it was. You obviously aren't here because you enjoy DDR Simulation and wanted a forum to talk about it. That in itself is a good enough reason for you not to post here anymore.

Good, you've had your fill of psychoanalyzing all of us. Now leave us the hell alone.

Some people here are boastful, arrogant, conceited, narcisitic and stuck-up. But these are the people who also command our respect, because they've all made their mark on the FFR/SM community somehow. Lots of them are profilic stepfile-makers...or help mod the forums...or somehow, with their presence, changed the Forum forever. It's almost as if they have a right to be arrogant.

Don't argue with me, because I'm right, and the regulars here know it.

Pheh.

The people both TC and I have issues with are the kind of people that any forum could do without. I'm sorry, but no one, NO ONE, likes people that flame for no reason, argue without base, and are just generally ignorant.

I also don't think that most of the ones I'm thinking of make stepfiles, so that's out, too.

[dontcareaboutmyid]

But TC i got your point. And everyones response is we don't care.

* directs you to read the sig *

im done with you TC there's nothing more to be said.

[QreepyBORIS]

* directs you to read the sig *

Good god, that wasnt an own, you dont own. You do not realize that?

After reading my post??

[dontcareaboutmyid]

i didn't say it was i'm saying when jewpin said it to the newb it was

EDIT: You know what, to prevent confussioni'll just remove it

[ThunderClaw]

Mwerp cares. He was curious and intrigued by my plain. Archowl cares. When the situation changed, he was very quick to be civil and speak to me as an equal. He wouldn't do that if he could care less--he'd just ignore me. You obviously care, since you're putting so much energy into this.

In the field of cerebral argumentation and logical reasoning, a personal attack is considered surrender.

Sinjin: If you don't know or care about the point I'm making, why are you wasting the time and energy making a post that mirrors one of my own 'long ass' posts attempting to explain why my point is invalid? Nobdy has the 'right' to act arrogant. Some people are worthy of respect, yes, but nobody has a 'right' to act unpleasantly to others. Period. My rights essentially end where yours begin. I do not have the 'right' to come up and explain to you why I'm better than you--aside from not caring, don't you have a 'right' to freedom from unneeded mental stresses? Isn't that pretty much the point of having a system of manners in effect in the first place?

first impressions stick out in peoples memory more than the way a person actually is most of the time.

Pheh.

cool noise.

yea i remember when i came into the argument... the whole plato's natures thing... its all good. i dont have a problem with you anymore because your civility has overtaken your arrogance. i would wager more people would see this if you stopped trying to prove your point to them and just let them figure it out themselves... sure it will take longer, but whatever.

[Laharl]

That's part of the point.

From my own observations, one must never, ever, ever stop giving a person chances. Some of the best people I know, I initially hated due to first impressions, and I know I'm hated a lot due to first impressions. It's just, like... How can I put this... People change, constantly. So, your perceptions of any person must also change constantly.

quite true. however, its always better to try and make a good first impression on account of those that will simply write you off because of their first perception of you. obviously part of the point... though it was dishonest... was to make TC look like a complete jerk to everyone for the first couple days and then turn him into a civil person. while this little experiment played out exactly like you thought it would, it was dishonest. its not that he changed, its that he pretended to be a way that he wasnt. perhaps this was exactly what the idea was, but in any case you have likely lost several potential "friends" as a result of this... if you care.
