Great deals at TRU in the coming weeks

[OB1]

Not true. Whenever you bring up this subject of course I say that its an opinion... but why should I constantly mention that fact? Isn't it pretty much a given in most of our debates?

But you don't state your opinions as actual opinions. You state them as "fact".

Sorry, you've only called him insane and stupid. Big difference, I'm sure...

Whoa whoa, I've only called him names when he did it to me, and they were never serious. It's just fun to tease a guy that likes Quest 64 but calls other people stupid. He's kinda like nick that way. I don't dislike him at all. If he called me a jackass I would call him something like a buttmunch, because it's less harsh then calling him something else.

We argue more than I do with most other people, for one. Not sure why, but its a fact. Sure, I have problems talking to people I don't know and have some other things... but its not like I anger people I actually do know in conversation. Certainly not with any regularity like with you... not sure why, but it is true that you defend your views stronger than most.

I have less tolerance for you because out of everyone at Tendo City I get into arguments with you the most. I'm not afraid of defending my opinion and neither are you.

Your reaction to my post just proves my point more!

What point? That you annoy me? I already said that!

Oh yeah. Here's a nice excerpt...


A Black Falcon: wasn't it odd that bleakstare posted once and never said another word?
A Black Falcon: i would think he'd at least read it and get on msn or something
Dark Jaguar: hmm
Dark Jaguar: It is odd
Dark Jaguar: Does anyone besides us know about Bleakstare's new identity?
A Black Falcon: no
A Black Falcon: and no one posted in that thread...
A Black Falcon: i'd think someone might have been able toguess
A Black Falcon: (who that was)
A Black Falcon: but i gues no one cared.
Dark Jaguar: heh
Dark Jaguar: Both of us hinted well enough
Dark Jaguar: But then again, no one ever gets my hints.
Dark Jaguar: Yeesh, I hinted at my real name for the longest time...
A Black Falcon: really?
Dark Jaguar: You didn't notice?
A Black Falcon: no
Dark Jaguar: I've been doing it since 2 incarnations of TC ago
Dark Jaguar: Rumble, I believe
A Black Falcon: really?
A Black Falcon: no, i think everyone was pretty surprised...
Dark Jaguar: hmm, yes I imagine they would be
A Black Falcon: hints?
A Black Falcon: you dodged anything \even close to 'who are you' every time it came up...
Dark Jaguar: Indeed
Dark Jaguar: It was fun
A Black Falcon: really?
A Black Falcon: huh
A Black Falcon: 'hints' hah
A Black Falcon: nothing anyone else could tell as a hint, i imagine?
Dark Jaguar: apparently NOT
A Black Falcon: no.
Dark Jaguar: I mean, I actually SAID it a couple times
A Black Falcon: really?
Dark Jaguar: Generally, I worked in some hints into my occasional compeltely insane rant
A Black Falcon: but does anyone read them?
Dark Jaguar: aha
A Black Falcon: hey
A Black Falcon: you know that's the first time you straight admitted it? To me, at least...
A Black Falcon: oh, and OB1 has said as much as 'I often skim over DJ's posts'...
Dark Jaguar: Did I now?
Dark Jaguar:
A Black Falcon: well
Dark Jaguar: ( I love doing that )
A Black Falcon: i never know with you...
A Black Falcon:



Just thought that people would find this part interesting...

?

OB1, exactly what did I do that's so hurtful there? I decided to talk about your points, but not you the person. ABF did and I said "ah" a lot, but that's about it. I will say that ABF thinks it's wrong to not share one's opinions when they are wanted, a view I couldn't disagree more with.

You took this the wrong way. This was intended to CLEAR UP matters.

I'm not your friend? That makes me sad...

You're bashing my opinions and my "points" but not myself?? That makes no sense! We are defined by our opinions and views, especially in the online world. When you talk badly about someone behind their back instead of confronting them directly, I lose all respect for you. Whether that's myself, ABF, or anyone else. I do not tolerate back-biting.

OB1... you blame most all of the fact you find me annoying on me, but I really do think that the fact that none of the other people I talk to online have that problem shows something about you too... and as for the 'they'll dislike you eventually too' thing, I think that that's fallacious. After all, I've known DJ for as long as I have you... and not hugely different from other people I talk to online... sure, we do argue more than I do with anyone else. But that's not just my problem, as you admit... that takes both of us.

You annoy me the most because I am not afraid of confrontation, and I do not back off in an argument. DJ hates confrontation, so she gets along with you better. DJ is afraid of coming up to someone and trying to work out a problem directly with them, which is why she never stays for debates or ever tells anyone how she feels about them. She can only go to someone else and complain about that person.

I just don't see what you find so awful about the way I post... and saying 'see, that's your problem' isn't exactly helpful.

I've already explained this, and I already went into detail. I'm not going to explain it again in this forum. Perhaps I'll have time to get on msn tonight.

Oh yeah, and DJ, OB1 seems to be seriously thinking about leaving TC... and his reaction to this proves my points, no matter if he says they're not true. I mean... his whole reaction proves the 'overreacts' thing beyond doubt! I don't know what could be done about that, though... I would hardly expect OB1 to suddenly change the way he interprets posts... but still, its really not good. I'd just say that OB1 takes what we say too far and too seriously...

(BTW, sounds a lot like why Biggah left, doesn't it? I find that ironic...)

This is exactly what I was talking about last night, ABF. You don't understand people, how incredibly irritating you are. You claim that I overreact because you don't understand any of this. I'm far from overreacting right now. I've been going to this place for over four years now, and it's definitely not what it used to be. Only a few members actually want to talk about video games, and even then it always turns into a big debate between me and you. You say something ridiculously stupid and I can't help but react to it. It's come to the point where visiting this place is a real chore, and I don't like that. Perhaps, if I learn to tolerate your... uniqueness (to put it very politely), if you stop trying to turn every friggin topic into a debate, and if everyone here actually wants to turn this place back into a real forum for discussing all things Nintendo-related... then I'll reconsider leaving. But I am afraid that this will probably be too much to ask for.
