Re: WTF...9/11 "toy"
 

Oh I see how it is. Newbie gets the hits.

But Crono's right, you'd be surprised. I've been to thingies like this before... message boards where emotional teens lose their meat. That might not be what that Crono guy meant, but at least that is true.

I have had experiences like this. Groups of people in a message board don't get along together. This message board is especially in such a position. I proved it no easier than saying "Typhowned" and suggesting people move on. How unstable we are all. But I served my purpose.

I checked this place out a little 'cuz of people's comments like the Vampyr. It's one of "those" message places. The message places where fanboys take the word "fanboy" to heart, and discussions as well as jokes accelerate into grudge matches.

Maybe I came at the right time, kids. Play nicely together, or find new homes. There are more boards than GameTavern... and it's not hard to make one on your own.

If the condition doesn't improve here soon, I mebbe will be a nuisance still and test limits to remind you there's a chance to move on. I remember when... I don't know how many years ago it was, but kids posted at places like this because they liked games and shared that passion, not because they wanted to press their views and talk of politics and religion.

And who do I think I am? I am Rumpelstilzchen, Rabbelrouser Extraordinaire, and avid gamer. I agree, my opinion is crap. So is everyone's. We need to talk about video games. Video games are in.

Re: WTF...9/11 "toy"
 

This forum branched beyond just gaming. We still talk about games but that gets repetitive so its good to talk about other things.

And I agree about the fanboy and jokes accelerating. I've had it happen many times and I've lived through them but it wasn't easy getting it over with.

But the whole "Your new so you dont know anything" (not exact words but basically how its summed up) isn't needed. Everyone was new at one point. Don't shrug people's comments off because they are new or rip them apart just because they are new.

I wasn't belittling him for being new. I was just confused that he was the newest person here and was suggesting that some of us leave. I thought it was odd.

AGB - GT, for one.

I'll be keeping my eye on you, because around here, I'm the resident trickster, and you won't be able to test my limits because I have the patience of a Saint. We post here becuase we like games also, Rumples. But unlike most other forums, are minds aren't only limited to that of the console we own. Good day, old bread.

Re: WTF...9/11 "toy"
 

Yeah, there was no bashing of the noobs going on. Dylflon was just saying that if anyone should leave it would be the person who got here last...more like a first come first serve basis. People with seniority traditionaly get the benefits, and this works a little like a tenur. And if you dont like what you see, when you get here, move along.

But I hope Rumpel isnt too flustered from this argument. They happen occasionally here, you just have to learn to accept them for what they are, and realize we have more high points than low points. Things just get downright bad when people dont respect the other people in the argument.

It's rude and beguiling when I see a member here thrashing someone else for their thoughts. Ever heard the saying "penny for your thoughts?"? That's because that's about all they are worth to anyone else. Just a damn penny.

That's why I agree with the wise words of rumpel when he said "my opinions are crap, and so are everyone elses". And Null was right also, you just have to know when to quit sometimes. When you start getting angry in an argument, give your final word and walk away. Just remember no one has the right to steal your happiness or joy, so what do you have to earn from letting an argument escalate into a fight?

But if you can be civilized long to enough to actually RESPECT people, then we could all get along. I dont care how much you hate each other, but you can respect them and their ideas. Doesnt matter how they present them or how much they differ from yours. Respect and friendship dont come hand in hand. You can respect someone and hate their guts.

And rumpel, we do talk about games, and I rather enjoy talking about games, which is why I normally dont get involved in topics like this. I like games, art, books, and music. So let us make a haven in the artists guild and the game boards. :D

I believe this thread is worthy of being locked for good. Anyone agree?

Fine. I guess everything that needed to be said was said.

We all learned a little something from this experience. We laughed, we cried, we grew.

Closed.
