Why am I getting flack lately?
« on: December 22, 2004, 08:01:52 pm »
People calling me immature, saying I have low intelligence basically and others saying they want to ignore me, but really have I done anything wrong? I just have different opinions thats all, I'm still a nice guy

why cant people on this board be mature enough to respect that

Because your answer to everything is "I dont care what you think" and "I just have different opinions."   Then you'll start a pissing match with people.

It's like you're 8 years old... so we all think you ARE immature.  Frankly, if you don't think we can be "mature" here and you're sooooo much more mature and better than us... just leave.  You'll give everyone, including yourself, a whole lot less headaches.
first off your and idiot

Man I love the internet, haha.

Operate brain before engaging keyboard, attempt to look for the answers yourself before asking for help, back up what you say with intelligent comments that explain your opinion and show some general courtesy.

And get rid of those sideburns.

1) Your attitude sucks
2) You ask questions then complain about honest answers
3) You are never wrong and everyone else is retarded
4) 99% of your posts are fluff
5) You refuse to help yourself (search, google, book, anything)

I'm not sure if you are a  megalomaniac or some other form of psychopath.

For your sake, I hope that you are not as old as you claim to be. This is not meant to be an insult, but you have that early teen attitude.

It DOESNT suck, I simply have a different opinion and people HATE those opinions, I can't help that! Why can't you people respect other's opinions?

2) You ask questions then complain about honest answers
3) You are never wrong and everyone else is retarded


4) 99% of your posts are fluff

How are they fluff? Even if they were who cares? But they're not, I only make comments that are relavant or discussive...

5) You refuse to help yourself (search, google, book, anything)

That's so not true

You get the flack you do because you state outlandish things like "99% of the people on the internet ARE RETARDED", can't handle the fact that a large majority of the human population view your "morals" as wrong and won't let you put out that claptrap without pointing out the error of your ways, and the fact that you think it your right to an explanation when you can't fathom what someone is saying (like in this very thread ::) ), but can't be troubled to debate articulately.

The "immature" label comes from your posted comments here.  Stating "that's not what it means to me" when someone gives you a DICTIONARY lesson is the hallmark of a childish act, a few short steps removed from a tantrum you inevitably launch into, calling people here "jerkoffs", "asses", "losers" et al. 

Also, your "immature" label is aided by your continued deletion of threads you start where your true colors are exhibited.  I fully expect you to take the coward's way out and delete THIS thread when it takes a turn for the worse in showing you for who you really are, and soon. 

Your general demeanor is quickly pissing off MANY members here, so I believe there will be MANY replies to this post until you delete it.  You are leaving a bad taste in MANY mouths here in the short time you've been here, and your M.O. leaves little doubt that you will continue to do so, and care so very little about who you do piss off.

In your mind, it will NEVER be your fault, as evidenced by this very thread's title.  At first, I wondered if it was just me, but the replies here have shown not only that I'm not alone, but that I may have been a bit conservative in my thinking of you. 

Your antisocial comments and your "I don't care what you think" attitude is perplexing, given that you ask questions of the members of this board, but don't care about any contrary opinions, even if it comes from a person who may have done what you are asking about, and is giving you sound advice.  If it opposes the answer you are looking for, you simply re-ask the question or feel the need to beat your point into everyone's head, as if we will somehow come up with an answer fitting your needs by osmosis.

Additionally, you're not well liked because you show little to NO initiative in helping yourself, instead, you seem to rely on the talents of the members here, which wears thin quickly due to the aforementioned piss-poor attitude towards others here.

Does that about answer it for you?

I'll know if it does   if   when you delete this thread ::)

It DOESNT suck, I simply have a different opinion and people HATE those opinions, I can't help that! Why can't you people respect other's opinions?

See pointdablame's response, then Gozur's point #2.  He said, and I quote "your ATTITUDE sucks.  He didn't speak word one about your opinion.  Your ATTITUDE. 

You then complained about the honest answer, and wish to have a pissing contest about said answer.


Quote
4) 99% of your posts are fluff

How are they fluff? Even if they were who cares? But they're not, I only make comments that are relavant or discussive...

Again, see "complain about honest answers" and "pissing match"

Quote
5) You refuse to help yourself (search, google, book, anything)

That's so not true

YOU ARE A BALDFACED LIAR!  I've seen several instances where you were told how to help yourself, and you claim you CAN'T, when the reality is that you WON'T.  In fact, if I remember correctly, you aren't even building your cab, YOUR DAD IS DOING IT FOR YOU

This should be about enough for you to start considering deletion of this thread, coward.


I'll also add the fact that you've sent numerous PM's to others calling them A-holes and jerkoffs - back when you were trying to paint some squeaky clean image for all to see. 

I'm "nerdy" to type things out.  I thought you were the one with 100 WPM typing speed.  I guess since I don't belt out one or two sentence responses to your inanities and answer your question, you'll continue to wonder why everyone treats you like a first class putz. 

But we're all wrong, so what does it matter, right?

What the hell? I'm the one designing EVERY aspect of the cabinet, EVERYTHING, doing all the wiring and programming. My dad's a professional cabinet maker, probably the best, OF COURSE I'm going to have him build the actual cabinet. If I had to do it I could with no help at all.

But about the art thing, you keep saying '"you say you can't but you just wont" WHY ARE YOU SO RETARDED WHEN IT COMES TO THIS? I CAN NOT.

You people all forget this is just the internet

That's just a tiny part of the problem.  It's not that you DON'T understand, it's that you have exhibited an irrational will NOT TO understand, although inane threads like this are some pathetic attempt to "get to the bottom of it all".

We haven't forgot it's just the internet, but it's like Forrest said "stupid is as stupid does".

I bet there's not a person here who doubts you're this way in real life as well.  In real life, we would shun such a person, on the internet, we have to see your bilge in areas we wanted to read.  Your threads are by and large nothing I feel the need to read any longer, but you're good at baiting us - I couldn't resist the urge to see what it would take to get you to delete yet another thread.

This isn't "just" the internet. This is our community. A lot of members are very passionate about keeping this forum useful and non flaming and non retarded. I am one of them. This is one of the most helpful, most newbie tolerant forums there is. But most members will not tolerate spam, redundant questions and stupid thread creation etc. This is our forum so just pull your head in or you will be gone, not because you are banned but because no one will tolerate you and you will just decide to leave. If you want to be a part of this just chill dude.

Apollo said it best. Just chill. It's like your a 8 year old on hyper-go-go pills.

You say things that you KNOW are going to cause people to get offensive, when you should just keep them to yourself. You ask questions, and when people give honest answers that make sense, you don't want to hear it, so you say "I don't care/whatever". Which bassicly means you started a thread for zero reason if you didn't want anyones ideas or inputs to begin with, that is, unless, you wanted someone to pat you on the back and say "I think the same way! We truly are gods amoung men!". In one recent thread, you asked a question that was already in the MAME FAQ. Instead of thanking the guy and moving on, you say something to the effect that "whateva i can just do this"(ask here), I mean, come on, you don't even want to take THAT little effort? Just chill out, think before you type. 

Just because the "Reply" button is there, doesn't mean you have to click it.
