When I make a statement about an item, either positive or negative, it is still my opinion. Name calling and throwing fits is not going to change it. This new guy's heart is in the right place, but he needs to realise that we are all different. Taking time out and doing reviews is great. It belongs in the review forum. I would hate to see someone spending their hard cash on a weak processor, considering the hardware requirements that our hobby requires, compared to an older generation processor and system that is cheaply available on Ebay. |

--- Quote from: saint on January 30, 2014, 12:09:10 pm ---*Sigh* I work for a living. I work full time. I have 3 kids. I have an ailing father. I occasionally like to have a personal life. I have run this web site for something like 15 years. Don't yell at anyone else if you don' t like the moderating, it's all me. I stole 30 seconds from my job to try to trim out this thread while still keeping usable bits. I think Ark's a --cream-filled twinkie-- half the time. Maybe more than half. I've yelled at him more times than I can count. I also think he contributes something to the forum despite his negative personality. I am always going to err on the side of leaving content up and letting folks push the envelope of the rules, I try to keep a light hand. I think it makes for a better forum. Specifically here, I deleted *four* of Ark's posts that I thought were needlessly inflammatory, and five other posts from other folks that were also inflammatory or made no sense without the context of the posts I pulled. All in the 30 seconds I was able to steal from my job. As usual I regret if my efforts failed to live up to expectations. --- End quote --- Sorry to hear about your father. My thoughts are with you. |

Certainly, putting an animation at the end with a smiley rolling around in fits of laughter doesn't help as it implies - in my eyes - that you're laughing at someone's stupidity. Maybe you didn't mean it to come across like that, maybe you did - we'll never know - but the whole thing reeked of misplaced superiority to me and it's not hard to take sides against someone displaying that sort of behaviour. |

Is it just me that thinks it's funny imagining a real fight between people obsessed with playing and building old arcade games? :laugh2: |

The visual of that in my mind is far more hilarious than it would be in real life. I do know from experience people generally don't complain about things until it's too late, most people put up with heavy trolling especially by someone who has a higher post count than them. Then there are the small percentage, like me who don't put up with it. Sadly it happens everywhere, I even saw it today on another forum (however that user was banned for excessive trolling). I know it's fun to get your jolly's off or even disagree with someone, but there is disagreeing, and then there is being a dick about it as well while you disagree, like straight up calling someone a noob on the very first post to them because you have a different point of view. That's what the 16 year old gamers do over voice chat in online games, not adults (well at least I thought not). I tried to be an adult about most of it and I even asked the behavior to stop, but I can only be egged on for so long before I've had enough, even after others tried to defend me. |
