Quote:But you don't state your opinions as actual opinions. You state them as "fact".
No, as what I believe. You are free to believe differently in most all our debates...
Quote: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.
I was just remembering how just before the latest DJ thing exploded you were calling Darunia insane and the dumbest person here, before you switched it to DJ and then to me...
Quote: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.
That is true, and most people aren't like that... which is too bad. I also like people to defend their opinions. :)
Quote:What point? That you annoy me? I already said that!
That you take what I say too far all the time. Read more into it than I mean.

Forget it, GR finally got the hint. :)
Quote: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.
I do have to agree that attacking someone's opinions is a form of personal attack... I'd say that its not quite the same (and isn't as bad as) a direct attack on them, its close. And DJ should have been saying that stuff to you too. I don't think it was done maliciously, of course, as I said... DJ's value system is just totally incompatible with yours (and to a lesser extent mine), and it causes this problem. But I really do think that I've explained that twenty times now.
Quote: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.
Not completely accurate... from talking to DJ I get the distinct impression that DJ would have said a lot of that to you too on MSN... but for some reason on the forum, and you're never on MSN. Why is there a difference? I have no clue, ask DJ.
Quote: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.
I was out earlier (see: playing Mischief Makers). After now is okay though. :)
Quote: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.
I agree TC's not what it used to be. I agree that games aren't discussed enough (though its not anywhere near the level of non-conversation about games that the Nintendorks forum is at...). I agree that we've lost members who posted and not added many who contribute much. I don't know what we can do about that, though...
And you DO have a problem... but we've discussed that too about five hundred times and I don't want to waste more time talking about how you cannot accept that your opinion isn't the law (especially given how you pretty much deny it... but as I said we've been over this way too many times to make another arguement worthwhile...).
