There are several posters on here that I refuse to respond to, because their posts are idiotic or it turns into a pissing match.
    LOL. A lot of irony in this post.

    Is that all you can come up with? That was so long ago, and YOU admitted your slip up. You posted the personal stuff about yourself. All I did was post a picture.

    He retired in the name of free speech.

    Like_that missed the point. What I'm saying is that normally when someone edits a post and quotes it, it's some form of attack. Is it a big deal? Hell no. you're right it's an internet message board, but theres no point in trying to have a discussion when the threads become a "fail" "qq" "fify" pissing match. hell, some threads become back and forth responses to shit no one actually typed. If you can't fucking come up with a intelligent response, admit you lost. If you aren't going to agree, stop beating a dead horse.

    hope this helps

    Starting to seem like it with all the QQing in this thread.


    . So, keep on QQing about it!


    Just Googled. I wonder who was the first dork on OC to use "QQ"?

    Found out it means "crying" or "quit" and supposedly originated from the video game WoW?

    Wrong it was from the game Warcraft... which came way before World of Warcraft. And QQ became the way to tell someone who sucked or was complaining(crying about shit) to quit because you had to press Alt-QQ to quit the match and game you were currently playing.

    Nice fail.

    Come up with what? I am not trying to make this a pissing match, but apparently you want it to be.

    I never volunteered my employment information (which was also posted), and I also never asked for my photo to be posted. The point is I don't take this seriously enough to put someone out there like that. You are kidding yourself if you don't think i know who you are, or where you work. However, no matter what you say on here, I will never QQ, create another username (lolfail on that btw), and then post that information. I am not going to get my panties in a bunch over somebody mocking me on an internet message board like you lol.

    It does help. I saw your point, just wanted to point out a lot of the shit people are complaining about in this thread were not examples of personal insults or over the top name calling. Dealing with skyhook trolling Cleveland threads, I agree that shit is annoying. A lot of the shit people are complaining about though is something that can easily be resolved by growing thicker skin. If you (not you specifically) get your panties in a bunch over what people say on an internet message board, then I can't imagine how you are in real life.

    Many people on here know who I am. I'm OK with that. I have more than two usernames, but it wasn't created just to post that pic. And, as stated in PM's, you know the photo was posted in jest. But don't make it sound like I go around posting personal info about people all the time. Snot would be the only person, on a regular basis.

    I am not talking about revealing your identity to this site. There is plenty of shit you can do with personal information, thus why I wouldn't want it on here. Like I said, I never have been so butt hurt(never been butt hurt in general actually) over what somebody has said about/to me on this site where I post shit like that. Grow thicker skin.

    Dear like_that. It was IN JEST. You're more upset over it now than you were when it happened... as we covered in PM's.

    I know it was in jest, no shit, I am just pointing out your HYPOCRISY. I was never that "upset" about it, because it was all deleted by justin before anybody other than yourself and snot could see it.

    QQ

    That is all.
  • ernest_t_bass
    Justin, you (I don't think) let this stuff happen in the HS forums, so why not have a set of rules for each forum:

    SRZ BZNZ: Grow thick skin, anything goes

    HS: Strictly moderated, regulated

    Then maybe have a general discussion forum where people can go and have a discussion, and actually have opinions.

    Kind of funny the person who keeps telling others to grow thicker skin clearly has the thinnest skin here.

    Lol, this coming from the guy that allows sleeper to get under his skin in every ND thread. Got it.

    This.

    Right. I don't think I've responded to sleeper in a while other than one thread where he was crying about losing a bet and I'd hardly say he was under my skin. You are still whining about etb posting your picture that very few people even saw and only a couple more even knew about. Other people need thicker skin though.

    You tell yourself that. Every ND thread that I see you in, you are QQing about either sleeper or somebody else that doesn't have a positive opinion about ND. My point was to point out ETB's hypocrisy, as I never have resorted to revealing personal info, because I was butt hurt. If you want to spin it as whining, then so be it, I can't help it that the point went over your head.

    True. What I've told snot is, "say whatever's you want about me, but bring family into is pretty week sauce."
