Its not about saying drediock thats what you dont get. Its about conduct and setting an example. You will never win the argument because the rules have already been established and you condone violating that rule. Worse you have already decided you are on the wrong side of the fence which is why you slipped into the 'insult mindset' and let go with the 'Mr Self Righteous.' You know you are wrong. Curse words are abusive emotionally vulgar of class and irreverent of your host (and Im not talking of religion here). Your mouth can either build up or tear down an individuals self-esteem or the same with their regard for you as an individual. I for instance have lost all respect for you as an individual (what little you had already earned) for taking the position you have. To me and people like me for you or anyone to cuss is the same as spreading malicious gossip or lies about anyone. Its the same as berating an individual for who and what they are or what they stand for. Cussing is an assault on character and implies your impudence as a customer over all other customers. Furthermore it demonstrates a complete lack of intelligence with an inability to construct a more viable argument without the negativism. People that lack the wit to construct a more reasoned argument turn to curses as a way (unwittingly) to emphasive their points but in fact it detracts from their argument and comes across as unreasoned. Cursing is not an art to be admired.
What you call realistic is a modified expectation due to your failures. You have given up the ability to make reasoned and intelligent arguments by taking on the character of a man that emphasizes his expressions with negativism. You have in fact shut yourself off from the ability to perceive of things as they should be and accepted mediocrity. I believe you deserve better but it is up to you as an individual to seek improvement and none of us can do it for you. However we can use 'tough-love' and shun those of you that curse as if you were a discarded shoe. When you grow up and become a true adult we can accept you back in the fold but you have to earn respect and right now you have just given it all up. This is what 'community policing' is.
Have a nice day.
Your the one who started the insults by your condescending posts and your deciding whom is a "man" and whom isnt among other things. Want me to go back and list the insults youve thrown out in this thread?
"You are assuming things you have no knowledge of and I submit it imparts upon all of us certain knowledge of your true character""Here you are trying to save face and make yourself look all grown up... but your a child when it comes to self-control and you know it.""
If you cant bring yourself to do that then you will never grow up.""That you have not done so and failed as a parent is where you are today."So lets cut the self rightous nonsence about resorting to insults as though you can claim some moral high ground on insults.
And BTW declaring victory or someone elses defeat doesnt make you victorious. It might have worked when we were 8 or 9 years old. but not so much when your older no matter how fancy you try to phrase it.
There is no argument to win. Because your not going to change people no matter what rules are in place.
A year from now this same type thread is going to come up and your going to make the same type argument. Just as has been done time and time and time again.
I've seen these same debates going on all the way back into Airwarrior. And whats changed? Not one thing
I wasnt insulting you. I was speaking the truth about you. Your living in a fantasy world. Sorry to break it to you but people arent ever going to live up to your expectations. Especially en masse.
You want to play tough love. have at it. Report everyone for all I care. Thats your prerogative. And the tools were put in place for you to do so. But if your expecting everyone to care as much as you do and join in. you are in fact. Delusional. because most people again, unless its some long drawn out profane rant. Just dont care. Or dont deem it important enough to bother with
If they did. This subject would never come up.
I can see things how they should be. And on that front I have already said I agree with you. But how things should be and reality are two completely different things. I deal with the real world. Not the world as I think it should be. Nothing at all to do with my failures. I dont as to how I've "failed" at anything. What. Because
you say I "failed" I have?
Gimme a break.
Im supposed to care how much you respect me? Or if you dont? why?
You going to pay my bills? Do I have to go home and live with or sleep with you tonight?
You somehow view yourself as being more special then anyone else? Your nothing. just someone I occasionally debate with here on the boards or see in game.
the day either of us leaves Im sure we would notice for all of about a day. Probobly less
I dont come here to play language police. I come here to have fun. If I have to start worrying about what everyone else is doing then Im not having fun. Im working.
If there is a prolonged rant. yea I'll report it. But Im not going to make myself crazy reporting every slip up. Its not worth it And I understand that whenever competition is involved. Emotions and tempers are involved and people are going to slip up occasionally right or wrong. Its human nature.
now maybe you have perfect self control at all times. (though I doubt it) but most people do not.
and to have hundreds of people playing a competitive game and expecting everyone to mind their P & Q's all the time. Is just not a realistic expectation no matter how much you argue to the contrary. It is at best. Fantasy
You would have better luck trying to sprout a third arm.
But hey. Good luck with that..really
