That topic CLEARLY states:

Don't post in here unless you're voting. If you have questions, just PM me.


YET! someone of "authority" around here feels the need to disregard this and post to save his name. Everyone knows he's a condescending prick, but if we must stick to the rules, he should, too.

Practice what you preach.

To be perfectly fair:
(1) Your thread could easily be interpreted as antagonistic member bashing. It may be abstract, but no one here is a complete f**king idiot. It's obvious that your intent is of an antagonistic one.
(2) The community guidelines are the only rules (unless explicitly detailed otherwise by an administrative body or staff member) that members are officially required to follow. If I made up a set of rules for my thread, I would hope others would follow them too. However, insofar as those rules fall outside of community guidelines, there is no way to strictly enforce them. I could petition, maybe as you are here, but I would probably have to have a good argument (as you don't exactly) if I had any honest expectations.
(3) Maybe if your attitude changed a bit you would be more well received. I can't imagine a single moment of sincerity in this so-called "lesson" as it is wholly absurd coming from a man who has devoted (arguably) way too much time challenging a so-called "corrupt" system with rather childish stunts. Asking people you indirectly (or even directly) bash, without provocation, to "follow" your arbitrary "rules" is just sort of silly. If you presented a clear-headed and non-pretentious argument, you might be seen as more persuasive.
(4) You're hard to take seriously anymore.

If your concern is sincere, propose a more thorough argument and I will be happy to consider it further.

You know full well that I didn't break any rules, Spencer.

So the rules in MP weren't really rules because they weren't in the community guidelines?

Your last comment was beyond brown nosing. You better wipe your chin after that verbal blowjob.

Elba, the term is a derivitive from ass kissing. In other words more extreme ass kissing, to the point where... You get the idea... shifty.gif


LOL. That is the first time I've ever heard that.

Why not just get a Mod to delete the posts that weren't votes?

Obviously I didn't. I don't like reading your posts. I'm not going to take the time to read something that resembles an essay prompt on a forum board. Well, actually, I do read your posts, I just don't like to do so. Do you actually have conversations like that irl? Also, considering you're a twenty year old high school student, do your classmates actually enjoy having a conversation with someone who talks like he's writing a formal essay for the SATs?

Anyway, it wasn't until yesterday that they explicitly said that rule applied to all forums.

^ True Elba. I ALWAYS ask myself how he talks to little kids. Vocabulary can be hot but when overused, it makes one seem stuck up and idiotic.
