so what "bartix" and what faction replaces armenia go then?!!

[Temple]

Ok, let's try that in a different tone then:

"Temple:

I don't think you are funny. While I can't stop you from making fun of other peoples shortcomings, I'd like you to note that; if you think it's rotten to mock somebody and you still do it, then you have some serious shortcomings yourself."

Does that make you feel any better? If so, thank you very much for helping me improve my people skills, now how about working on your own?

This is much better, yes. Thank you. While I don't at all appreciate your insistence that I am somehow a lesser person than you, I feel better now that the insult is out in the open and not vaguely hidden behind cloudy speech..
As for my so called "shortcomings," I'll let that remark slide. I'm attributing it to a misunderstanding, due to my inability to communicate properly what I mean; english IS my second laguage, after all.

Why I need to improve my "people skills" is beyond me. This is an anonymous internet community after all, and I hardly care what people on it think of me. They will never meet me in real life, and if they did I don't think I'd be bothered much by their first impression of me in any case.

However;


Khelvan:
I appreciate what you'r saying, and I concede that perhaps I was out of line. My appologies.

That's your fears, not my insistance. I never said I was a good person, I insinuated that you were acting like an ass.

You mean you are game for insults and crude jokes too? Don't mind if I do actually, but I have yet to see you make a major litteral slip.

I'm sure all your peers here are quite flattered by the amount of sincerity you vest in them. Really cute....

(TomteofDoom: Respect is earned, not given)

Err, right.... So why do you start whining when I give you none? Felt like you've earned it or something?

[Copperhaired Berserker!]

goodness tomte of doom, it was only a little joke

[GoreBag]

Policing his behaviour is just as silly as making crude jokes about someone whom may or may not be retarded, young, old, an alien, whatever.

Berserker:
You'd be surprised how much less a joke this would all seem, if it wasn't taking place on the internet. I'm quite confident about this. Now sure, I laughed myself when I stumbled across this thread. But then I thought, here now, this has gone on for too long, there's no need to keep this up, especially not on Abokasee's account. Hence my post which really was no big deal, but what does that inspire? A desperate attempt to turn repressed feelings of guilt into a joke?... I mean...

That to me just wasn't cute, and therefore I responded as I did. But instead of appriciating my point, Mr.Temple spurs of in a frenzy of selfdefense. I was more than willing to let it go in my second post to him, but he just could not let it slip. I mean just look at what he writes after that. Instead of rolling over he tries to salvage the situation with some ill-founded bullshit. I just can't ignore that.

NeonGod:
So you do think that Temples behaviour is silly? I'll let you in on a secret then. I'm not policing anyone, and Temple agrees completely, I haven't deprived him of anything, he doesn't bother you see. With that said, I'm basically just glad we agree...

[GoreBag]

I find Temple's behaviour, while perhaps tasteless, far less offensive than the TomteOfDoom Morality Patrol.

[Simetrical]

Why are we pinning this all on Temple, anyway? A lot of people were making fun of Abokasee (but not, as khelvan points out, outright insulting anyone, if there's a difference). I probably would have, too, if I'd thought of something witty to say.

I think Asperger's an unlikely diagnosis; the most likely possibility is that Abokasee is a non-native speaker and/or a dyslexic, in either case quite an immature one. I think eight is too young, however, since most eight-year-olds don't curse that much. Ten to twelve would be my bet. Any takers?

Right now, since you seem very intent on holding the moral highground, why don't you, instead of going into the fight blazing like some idiotic Achilles, try to be the Hector and keep your head cool?

Since you lost the high ground the moment you entered into a dialogue about shortcomings, 'ill-founded bullshit' and whatnot.

Now you can get surrounded and cut to pieces. Tactically speaking.
