Sure, but don't insult the education system which produced me if you don't know the difference between there and their.

Oh, wait.............
I think you should add another rule to address something I think has become a terrible epidemic on these forums.
Do not start topics if you have nothing to say. Start the thread off the right way with your opinion and/or some talking points. There's nothing as half-assed as a first message in a thread that says "Discuss." If it's not important enough for you to have an opinion that you can't back up than don't start a thread.
I think the mods ought to delete any thread that starts out with one stupid sentence in the first post or thread title and then they say "Discuss". The lazy, ignorant bastards are just looking to make a thread so they can show their mommy later what a big flame war mess they made.
Here ends the rant.

Says some random person.................
No offense intended, but I didn't realize this was your private thread, Bubbalo. My apologies. Though maybe if it is, it would be better carried on in a series of private messages than a stickied thread.Bubbalo wrote:

Actually, my point is I don't recall you posting anywhere in this forum other than this thread, and noone who has posted in threads, including regulars, has criticised that type of thread starter. It's like if I walked into the US and said "You know what we should make illegal? Chocolate cake". If you'd like to see the thread to bash me, it should be on the next page entitled "Which country is most responsible for UN failures?". It was supposed to make a point about certain requests, but has turned into the home of all things anti-Bubbalo.
Thats because you antagonize people on purpose. . .
YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW
YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW
If I feel the need to bash you I'll be sure to do it there.Bubbalo wrote:

I just thought the point of stickied threads was that you read them before joining in threads in that section. Maybe I'm wrong about that.
I have posted a time or two in these forums prior to today though. Not on this thread, but definitely once or twice in this section.
Cheers.
it's true - and quite well at that.Chuckles wrote:

Don't worry about Bubbalo ... he's grouchy. And sensitive. A sensitive grouch.
I could not have put it better myself. You seem quite smart too.. and not too many typos.. lol. (not meant as an insult).UnOriginalNuttah wrote:

As a friend once got it to him.. (about being smart or not - as a part to start a debate?):
A guy says to him:
- You are so smart!
My friend replied:
- How the fuck do you know?
Some points taken from both red and blue team I say..
/LoMaX aka Zhaman
EDIT: I used to log in here as Zhaman in this board, but forgot the PW.. and my email account.. that's how smart I am. So LoMax it is.

I have a couple things to add to this guide
NEVER, EVER, call people a bunch of <insert swearing adjective here> <insert slur here>s and leave no reasoning. That is a hollow attack on people, nobody will listen to you, and you will be forever discounted. If you do feel the need to attack someone, DON'T! In a mature manner, tell them why they are mistaken, and attack the person's opinions, not the person behind it (even if his opinion is that everyone on this thread is a bunch of ****ing ****ies, and a bunch of ****s, without anything to contribute to the thread). Don't sink to their level.
And if you really, really need something to fall back on, think of this as a persuasive paper. Fall back to what your English teacher taught you, and if you're young enough or lucky enough to have one around (either in school or a neighbor), they could give some good advice.

Good points Starman7!

NEVER ATTACK SOMEONE PERSONALLY IN A DEBATE.
Besides which, you're not exactly one to talk about insulting people. Or do PMs not count?
You know, most of these are very obvious points, but it's ironic how people ignore them.
Good topic.
Good topic.
yea see, some of you people are why douchebags like tony robbins make money

Excuse my typo error that you so eloquently brought to everyones attention!

Touche is for one one person makes a point and the other makes a counter-point. It's a sort of "Oh, yeah, nice one". You made no point. Further, it makes no sense to award someone a degree of respect, then insult them with the very next word.
Seriously, do you huff paint or something?
Further, what typo? You post isn't even a word!

It was a typo(i.e. I posted by accident), and in your infinite wisdom you decided to make a shitty comment towards me. . .
Save it! Getting in a word war with you is NOT worth my time. . . .
STFU
And yet you are..................
I am curious though, you accidently hit key, pressed the post button, then didn't notice and edit/delete the post?

No, my video card is making my screen go black sometimes, and i have to restart the cpu.Bubbalo wrote:

I had that happen when I posted the comment, and just forgot to delete the post!
SO SUE ME. . . you jumped all over me for a mistake that anyone could have made, just because we disagree on most issues
No, I jumped all over you because you're a dipshit. There are many people whom I disagree with yet respect.
