Title: Abusive Language in the CT
Post by: CurtissP-6EHawk on February 19, 2004, 06:53:04 PM
This may not be a good idea to post this here but I just cant help it. I did not get the first meeting on a screen shot, but I did the last one. Yes he did send it to HTC and yes I did get an email.

Yes it is aginst policy, yes I will eventualy do it again....CT guys can piss me off. HTC can cancel my account when "they" feel I dont need to be here, but no one will tell me when or when not I can or cant speek my mind...NO ONE!

Well ... yes they can. Go to a movie theater and see how many minutes you can last through a show doing that. Or a restaurant. Or even a bar. The only difference here is that you'll have a player send in the film .... if there isn't a moderator on the spot to tell you to cool your heels ... and to escort you to the door if you don't.

Just sayin'. Simple logic. Cool down. It's starting to sound like you want to get banned. It'd probably be better to just quit. That way .... later on .. if the bug bites ... you won't hafta slink back in under cognito, bro.

You catch the same malady Storch got or sumpin'? :D

They can tell me... but I will say what I want, when I want...I will  suffer the results....small price for being free! Sure, escort me out, put me behind bars whatever...I am who I am and I will speak when I want to speek.

Thats why there are "policys". Don't like our policy, stay away? NO, dont abide by the policy, if its not really what you want, "under a law"  "drag me out"....

Yup ... you caught the same tardbug Storch got. Yup ... America the land of the free. Feel free to act stupid in public and suffer the consequences. But, dammit! You're free-willed and out-spoken and stupid and proud of it! :D

Stop it. Stop it now before it's too late. :aok

why not just quit the game for awhile rather than forcing someone at HTC to have a sucky day having to nix your account?

Just a thought.

Alert: this is my one serious post per year

I enjoy a good rant as much as anybody.  However, I can’t help but think that people that go off over a game need a little perspective. Just as an an example: volunteering at a pediatric oncology ward, spending some time around little kids with cancer. You know, people dealing with real problems … and doing it without nearly this much drama and commotion.

That’s it … see ya next year.

Words of wisdom.  It's a game, for Pete's sake.  Magee, you dog, I think you're being infected by the influx of MA folk who have been cluttering up the airwaves with similar talk.  Chill, dude.

Oldman, your not one to point fingers about foul langauge, every time you get killed the first thing you do is come up on channel 1 and spout things like "Congrats xxx". I dont know what "congrats" means but it sure sounds mean and nasty. :p

Bye Hawk, nice knowing you.

Remember, kids play this game too.  If I were an administrator I'd boot anyone who couldn't stop cursing.  I really would hate to see you go,but expect that's what will happen.

Frankly guys I wasnt really mad at all. I said a few things and Toad didnt like it, instead of squelching me, he provoked me. I said my piece :)

It started something to do with asking for the CVs to be moved a little closer, when the "comander" refused (both CV groups that is!) I said what I felt, then taod steped in.....see above.

A situation like this has already been through the court system. An employee called his supervisor a F#$%^&* Kid! The supervisor replyed, "What did you call me? The employee replyed again, "You F!@#$%^ Kid!" The employee was fired. Because of the question, the cort ruled that the supervisor provoked the employee and sided with the employee. There is more to it than that but I dont have the report handy!

Read the screen shot, further comments were the result of being provoked. Three times!, 1. "Sure", 2. "Keep going bro!" and 3. "Thx"


See you guys tonight!!
Hawk

Might as well show the whole thing, don't you think? Just to have the story correct in all respects?

Sorry, chum, but HT doesn't care for this in his AH arenas.

If you doubt that, call HT or Skuzzy and tell them what you've just said in this thread. Give it to them unabridged and unaltered, mano a mano, vox to vox over the telephone. I'm sure they'll be able to clear it up for you.

You can certainly do it all you like; I'll be happy to take a screen of it and pass it on when you do.

Wear yourself out. Defend your freedom to break HT's rules. ;)

When you get tired of that struggle for freedom, go yell "FIRE!" in a crowded theater when there's no actual fire. See how far that fight for freedom goes.

Your maturity matches your imagination.

Now reply with a whole bunch of ampersands, asterisks, dollar signs and exclamation points. Show us your true greatness!

Slash, I'm provoking him?

Go check the first thread and see who made the first comment.

Check and see who started this thread.

Your screen shot sheds a bit more light on the subject Toad. My only issue is that you have already sent in the email, and it seems like you're just trying to antagonize him more. That being said I would have reacted alot worse to his bs than you have, so Im gonna STFU and mind my own business on this one:aok

well you arrogant bastard, I did not crop or edit the screen shot. Its the only one I had. And the capslock was because the CV captain refused to release one of the two convoys.

Toad
 I have to say that Hawks actions were childish, and uncalled for. However to me that night it seemed you kept pushing his buttons. Should he have had better self control ,,,yes. You showed just as much lack of control by continuing to prod a guy who is obviously upset. The whole thing didnt need to happen. Ethier one of you could have stopped it at any moment. I don't know of too many people who have never lost their temper in on-line sims.

 Competition brings out our best, and a lot of times the worst in us.
Taking screenshots and e-mailing them to HTC , like a 9 year old running to the teacher because little jimmy said a bad word is just as childish.  It takes two to argue, it takes one to stop.

My getting involved in this thread is also just as childish. It's just the circle of life in AH:p

  My blood pressure has improved a lot though, through the magic command .squelchXXXXXX

Toad feel free to save this thread , and call my attention to it next time I lose it on Channel 1. I'm over due.:aok

Toad before I hit the send button Hawk got in with a reply above mine. So now I apologize to you. Dang it Hawk when i'm trying to bail you out quit poo pooin in the bucket!:lol

"Remember, kids play this game too. " I sure do get tired of hearing this. "Kids" talk worse than this. They may not do it in front of thier "parents" but they are not deaf nor or they stupid. They go to school, they know whats out there and more do it than you think...they are told its wrong but yet they see it on TV and hear it on the radio (music) every day, the words, the sex, booze, the new GAY crap etc etc etc.  The same parents that tell them it it wrong, sit and watch, listen etc etc, which is accepting what they are watching as "ok". If its "wrong" then get it ALL STOPED.
You bunch of idiots!


BTW I wonder now if Toad was one of the (at least three) I saw hording the two CV groups in question! I dont even remember who it was controling them.

Gosh, you try to help a buddy out and what do you get?

Here you are pointing out that you did not have the whole discussion. Assuming you wished you did, I helped out and posted the actual discussion so that all can review it and come to their own conclusions.

And this upsets you? For this I'm arrogant?

Is there something in this screen shot you don't like?

You will note that I never mentioned cropping or editing the shot on your part.

I actually assumed you wished you had the whole thing, given how proud you are of defending your freedom and all.

No, I wasn't in command of any CV's. I usually never have the rank for that. Especially in the CT; it's the rare setup there that interests me. I could absolutely not care less about score, I don't do GV's, bombers, field capture or whatever else makes for CV commanding rank. I just fly fighters and I fly into furballs. The fight's the thing. If you ever see me in command of a CV (it happens.. sometimes nobody else cares) you'll see me driving it TO a fight. Shorter flight times to the fight are a good thing, IMO.

Oh, and it's not a question of what kids see, hear or do. It's a queston of what HT wants in the arenas. Too tough a concept? Call HT; I'm sure he'll explain.

*********

Now, Slash & Lowe, I'd be happy to let this all drop. I actually only posted the full shot because he sounded like he wished he had it.

However, if he wants to keep showing his maturity and imagination, I'll respond if it seems in order.

Anyway, you seem to grasp the basic situation here now. I made one polite request about the language and he took off..... just like he has in two threads now.

All for now, .

 :D

"And this upsets you? For this I'm arrogant? "
No, what upset me was the fact you tried to make it out that I edited the screen shot and what may have been or not have been said!!

Look up and you will see this that you said "Give it to them unabridged and unaltered," It is not altered. Obviously the only part not seen is the beginning about the CV stuff. Anyone got that screen shot?

You are mad at what I said, I am mad at what you said. We are now both guilty, one as much as the other. Me for saying something I shouldnd have, based on game poilicy, and you for continued provoking! I will end my posting.

Again, I will say what I want when I want and I have prooven that!

This is the initial post; the part that concerns the screenshot..

Where do you find the accusation that you edited it?

Clearly, you did not have the entire exchange and said so in your first post. I merely said we might as well show it all so everyone has the whole story.

I can't see why you might find that arrogant, but I can see why it upsets you.


Now, to help you with your comprehension, AFTER the screenshot, there is this:

You can clearly see that the "unabridged and unaltered" comment refers to my suggestion that you call HT or Skuzzy and tell them what you said in this thread. IE: Give them what you said in this thread  "unabridged and unaltered" on the telephone.

I still think that's a good suggestion for you.

I'm not mad at you at all. I merely pointed out that your outburst is behavior that HT seeks remove from his arenas. You can go on using any language you like. I thought I made that clear. I'll just screenshot it and send it in if it violates HT's policy.

No anger on this end, I assure you.

Btw, I'm no provoking you. I'm merely replying to your version of events and your opinions. You're entitled to those opinions, of course. Just as I'm entitled to reply.

Oh, yes indeed! Of course, that has no effect whatsover on HT's policy, now does it?
