Also, when someone comes tropping in here being a dick, asking to be a mod and calling the RP a lot of my folks enjoy trash, then you have to expect a falling out.
Hi I'm Dacon nice to meet you.

Look I get it, you're a nice person and all, but here's the thing, I'm not.

If someone comes out acting like a dick, I'm likely to do the same, and it's not likely that I will treat his posse any better when they show up for his super awesome RP.
This. A LOT.

Ask most people who know me, and they'll tell you that I'm the nicest fucking guy you'll ever meet. But you know what? There are some things that I won't tolerate, and one of them is being an unconscionable dick to people that you don't know for no reason, ESPECIALLY when they insult my folks and something that they work really fucking hard on. No. Fuck that. Maybe it's immature and childish of me, but I get tired of being nice and fucking prim and proper with everyone, so I have zero problem being an absolute bastard to them at that point. Especially when it then progresses to personal attacks and a totally unwarranted assumed air of superiority. And even moreso when it's not particularly clever. =/

And we can sit around and say "be mature" and "play nice" all we want, but we all know that that's not how things work, in either the real world or cyberspace.

That said, if his running crew wants to join the forum and be civil, fine. I have no problem with that or them. It's when people start talking a lot of shit that I have problems.

tl;dr - don't be a dick, especially not to my folks

ps: I like this pron idea, and I want a return on my investment as a donator... :awesome:

*sighs* You're completely ignoring my point. :/

No I'm not. You're not listening to what I'm saying.

Why would my reaction to Shitkaro's people be any different than it was to him, when he behaved in such a way? People judge others based off the people they run with initially. They might be nice folks, but I don't give a shit. They were brought here thanks to him and his RP bullshit, and that ensures less than a warm welcome.

Sure, it's mostly a general reaction to current heated feelings, but that doesn't change what happened. You expect too much from me, when I've already shown you how I am time and again.

No offense meant to you, Dacon, but Tenny and I could be said to "run" with you, but I wouldn't want us to be judged on that basis. That's supremely retarded.

And, seriously, no offense meant to you. I like you. I've always liked you. But we're very different.

I also don't go out of my way to look for people who are very similar to me, not even when looking for someone to mate with. I tend to like being friends with people who have different opinions and attitudes than I do.

I am the most proudly agnostic person you will ever meet -- at least until an Ultimania comes out to establish what's canon :awesome: -- but several of my closest and oldest friends are deeply religious. Who I "run" with tells you dick about me, as there are a number of reasons why I might be doing so, and they may not be because we share the same opinions or similar personalities.

The people in Shikaru's "posse" might be there because of a common interest somewhere, or because they have another friend who was in the RP first and recruited them; maybe they're primarily there because of that friend who isn't Shikaru. Or maybe they just enjoy the RP itself and don't necessarily suck Shikaru's cock.

I mean, for real, dude, that's a completely ridiculous basis for determining anything about someone you've never met and I'm baffled that you would even be one to suggest it. You're usually infinitely more logical than that.

Look at Mako and I. We're both fucking nerds, and that's about the most we have in common. We both love Final Fantasy and could argue/debate/speculate endlessly about the minutiae of the plots of the various titles. Yet how often do we agree about anything?

I love talking to the guy, be it on here or on MSN, and I do so pretty much every day. But, fuck, we disagree on almost everything. That Dissidia plot FAQ we made together was a product of disagreeing passionately with one another for days.

I think the most we agree on anything is matters related to "Yugi-Oh!" for God's sake. I also find his aggressive approach to debate and/or disagreement unsavory. But he's one of the most awesome people I know and I consider him a good friend.

But back to you. I disagree with you a lot of times also. For instance: I have good taste in women, and you don't. That's alright, though. Live and let live. :monster: (:awesome:)

But I like debating with you as well. You're another unique individual with your own unique history and origins that have shaped you into the snarling monolith of bile and discontent that we've come to appreciate. And it's in those differences between us that I've been able to read your posts and learn from you or see something from an angle I hadn't before, and I love when that happens.

Same thing happened to me with Neo Bahamut of all people during our debates. Did we agree on a whole lot? No. Do I even particularly like debating with him? No, he's very frustrating. Did I learn from him, though? Absolutely.

Tl;dr summary: Don't say ridiculous things, please. You're too smart for that.

@ Omega: You see, though, is that my point in this thread has never been "if someone comes in here being a dick we should just let him alone and be civil." The point I'm trying to make here is, "The people who came here for the RP WERE NOT dicks themselves, ever."

I mean, one guy makes a few unsavory comments, and now all of his friends have to take the brunt of it? Guilt by association? If any of them ever had made insulting comments themselves, then yes, I could understand. But none of them did, and none of them knew about the proceeding issue, and none of them knew about the history that Shikaru has with all of you.

THAT is my point. This whole thing was being taken out on people who were not involved.

Read Tres' most recent post for more of what I mean.

Just making a point. :P

And I was civil enough to the one member of his posse that I spoke to =/

And isn't there some saying about judging people by the company they keep? Frex if all my friends were addicts and did scummy things to feed their habits, wouldn't people look down on me/judge me because of that? =/

Then the people who judge you are idiots. Doesn't mean you have to be just like them to others.

Less shit talking, more productive discussions of ideas.

On that end, I'm trying to get the Gameplay Board moved from being a child board to being a Main Board. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get discussion going to that end? There are a lot of 'players' in the Compilation, and I want to start drawing some of them here.

Regarding Snope et al, I don't think we want members who are only here to discuss shotacon. Just a hunch.

Maybe people could propose challenges or something? Just a thought.

In fact, while I'm usually in favour of free speech, I wouldn't be entirely opposed to banning all shipping of characters as ludicrously underage as Hope entirely.

Personally, I hate game challenges. I like going through the story, not seeing under what ridiculous circumstances I can do it.
