A Long-a** Dissertation on "Speed" YM and Bygone-era tactics

exclaiming your displeasure when there was no negative connotation beforehand is starting a commotion, or "shitstorm" as you put it

her guide clearly contains humourous elements that weren't meant to offend, but you took those humourous elements seriously

Ah, but there are negative connotations associated with the use of those words when refering to zOMG players. And yes, I can be the serious one. Can't deny it.

negative to who? most people find it to be an inside joke with others who were here at the time

it only becomes serious and actually negative when you take it seriously

Imma just point out:
I also called curt a p***ycat,
but he hasn't come in and attacked my job, my
writing skills, and my value as a community member.

I also don't think that using those terms, the way I
used them, detracts from the value of the information
I was trying to convey.

But I'm all for sounding politically correct and inoffensive.
So please: how would you prefer I address your
sensitive, dedicated group of people?

Comparing my posts and reactions to any of Curt Neko's is comparing apples to oranges. If you think I'm attacking you, you're mistaken.

Ary, I love every part of your guide. emotion_yatta

From your original post:

rolleyes < general contempt / disapproval

Instead of providing a comprehensive guide that can help the community, you chose to take swipes at our dedication to beating Kamila in the early stages of DMS being opened.

^ Making an incorrect assumption about the point of my thread and berating me for it

I really expected more from a "Forum Assistant."

^ Outright telling me that I'm unfit for my job (based on what evidence?)

Way to unite the community! /sarcasm

^ No commentary needed here

Although I do admit, reading this for a second time, that there's a
possibility you meant all this in the kindest and most helpful of
ways, and I may have been mistaken with my assumptions (red).

I, realizing that I'd offended you, offered then to change the terms
I used into something more politically polite, and you responded with

"it's your thread. do what you'd like"
as if it didn't matter to you one way or another (though you were
quite vehement, even rude and offensive in your berating me earlier).

... so now I'm incredibly, incredibly confused as to your purpose of
posting in this thread. sweatdrop

Yes, now you get it! It was an inside joke which lost its hilarity long ago.

Good grief! You read all of that into my post? Please don't put words into my mouth. I never expected our gardener to accidentally uproot all of our flower bulbs, but that doesn't mean he's unfit for the job.

Thank you?

you feel it's lost its hilarity, that doesn't mean everyone else does

Do you ever get those members who undermine you as a tank? The ones who try and say "DON'T R4 on NF" Before you've had a chance to say they can? I get those all the time and it makes me feel so snarky towards the person who did it.

Quite frequently there's one member who feels the need to say that xd but after I say feel free to R4 an they have their little moment of "wtf" they will try their best to aggro NF, maybe to prove me wrong rofl

Other instances are more annoying, if I'm kiting BD and say don't attack BD, I get people going "let's kill BD first". And of course as soon as I get rooted all the aggro goes to whoever is unfortunate enough to not get rooted xd

I'm sorry. Apparently, I'm not getting my message across, so
I'll say it now and apologize in advance if you find me offensive
yet again.

1. My use of the word "elitist" referred to "first-generation-player,"
was in no way purposely offensive.

2. I didn't read anything into your post. That was sarcasm on my
part. Tell me how else I'm supposed to read "I expected better from
a Forum Assistant!" or "Way to [not] unite the community!"

No, see, the point I'm trying to make is that:

3. You came into my thread. You came into my thread to criticize
my thread without reading my thread. Instead, you criticized
me for things that I didn't do. You attacked me for being
"potentially offensive" although no offense should have been taken
with the way I used the words, and you attacked me in an entirely
offensive way, and then said "sorry, I'm crabby."

And then you say "oh, actually idc which word you use because
it's your thread" but then continue to argue that you're right.

I'm sorry. I'm done arguing with you. I'm beginning to think there
wasn't an argument to begin with, instead just you wanting somewhere
to vent and unfortunately, choosing me. I do wish I could say that
it was a pleasure meeting you, but unfortunately, it has been anything
but.

Good day to you.

Not for your sake,
but for the sake of other thread creators.

Good day to you.

Not for your sake,
but for the sake of other thread creators.

You're going to need a thicker skin if you're going to continue posting on the interwebs.

I didn't realize this was one of those "only post if you agree with everything I say" threads.
