Yes! That's right! No longer will you be trampled upon by those two minions of Satan, rossmum and SnaFuBAR! No elitist can stand up to the combined strength of the INTERNET WHITE KNIGHTS!!!!
ok enough of that
Who wants to see some sweet, sweet irony? I know I do. I live off of irony, especially when it shows someone up for exactly what they are. For instance, when someone charges in from nowhere, begins to personally attack respected members of the community for supposedly considering themselves superior (http://sa.tweek.us/emots/images/emot-hitler.gif) while all the while trying to use the date they joined the Halo community as some sort of justification, it kind of owns. Or, say, when someone cries blue murder after receiving negative rep shortly after they made a huge point of asking how to disable it. Or how about when they tell someone to stop assuming to know anything about them, not long after making huge and fundamentally wrong assumptions about that person themselves?
Or better yet, how about when they say they don't care about rep and disable it, yet continue to harass the dreaded elitists with negative rep at every opportunity. It's just so adorable that some members think that doing this is in any way going to improve the community, since they feel the overpowering need to butt into any dispute involving one of said elitists and then shit all over the thread in question for their own gain - OH, SORRY, FOR THE GREATER GOOD, completely oblivious to the topic of both the thread and the original argument.
However, the saying "you can never have too much of a good thing" is sadly proven wrong in this case, as the users in question time and time again register, take exception to something the rest of us would consider completely normal and often justified, and then proceed to devote their time towards toppling this horrid state of affairs. Apparently it never occurred to them that nobody who has two brain cells to rub together needs saving, as us longtime members have had countless messy disputes which eventually blow over. Naturally, the last thing this place needs is a third party who nobody knows coming in and aggravating what probably would have been yet another forgettable tiff between members, but that's what they do anyway. Interestingly, the newer or less-known users can be doing whatever the fuck they like for all these brave warrior care; they only ever attack the established members, the so-called elitists, and occasionally those who side with or defend them. I've never seen them go out of their way to criticise anybody else for their behaviour or attitude, even when Snaf's or my own agitated intolerance of idiotic posting pales in the face of what these members do. Oh, and let's not forget when the crusaders do it themselves, which is typically more often than their chosen targets.
You know who you are. What you don't seem to know is that no matter how long you've been in the community or how unfairly you think you've been treated, it is not a carte-blance invitation to go ahead and turn around to immediately do the exact same thing to anybody else. If you can't shut up and mind your own business, you may as well leave now. You will never be welcome in this community, not because we don't like new members and we're elitist dickheads, but because you have absolutely no right whatsoever to come to our community and dictate to us how we should or shouldn't behave. We have our own staff for a reason, and until you can understand that, you ought to find somewhere else. You'll earn the right to tell us how to act when you're a known and respected member of this community, and not before. We don't care who you are, what you did, where you come from or why you're here. If you think you can just join and then talk down to us like you're so high and mighty, you are an absolute cock of the first degree and more pompous than we could ever hope to be. Don't you lecture us about our attitudes when yours is undeniably worse and your motives are questionable to boot (I seriously doubt any of you crusaders give a shit about anybody but yourselves, as evidenced by the immense amount of contradictions you make relating to rep).
Once you realise what colossal hypocrites you're being and actually shut the fuck up about a non-issue most of the site doesn't care about, you'll be just as welcome to post here as anybody else. Unlike you, we don't act like fuckheads just because of past experiences which are no longer that relevant. Drop the attitude and stop arguing for the sake of arguing, and you might end up where we are one day.
Then again, most of us did so by helping hundreds of people. I wouldn't be surprised if more than half of this site's best artists hadn't only truly started to achieve without a push in the right direction from Snaf, which strikes me as exactly the kind of thing some elitist jerks wouldn't do. I'd also like to point out how on several occasions, we've tried to help members who were being slammed by the community as a whole. Some took it, some didn't. We didn't have to do it, but we did. We wanted to make a difference, not sit around watching someone hold themselves back thanks to a poor attitude towards criticism. Tell me, how many people have you helped? People who have previously done their utmost to insult you or hurt your reputation, who you would've been well within your rights to flame to all and sundry? Or didn't you even bother to do some research before making flawed assumptions, exactly the same thing you accuse us of? Fuck off, you fakes. We judge people by their attitude, nothing else. If someone we like at first turns out to be a complete racist dick, they cop abuse just the same as someone we see as a jerk from the outset. We don't care who you are, if you act like a prick and make stupid posts, you're free game. If you seem to be a sensible enough person, you're welcome here. If at any time your attitude changes either for the better or for the worse, so do ours towards you. It's not rocket science.
Kindly take all of this into consideration before clotting up our profile messages with your idiotic claims of elitism, bullying, ritual murder, or whatever other absolute garbage you've been cooking up lately. Perhaps you should take a look down your own backyard before being so quick to jump on people you know absolutely nothing about in a community you know absolutely nothing about.
It's been immensely fun trolling the living shit out of all of you time and time again, but it's beginning to get old. I shouldn't have to answer to you and I'm sick of being told what kind of person I am by people who in all probability know absolutely nothing about me aside from childish rumour-spreading. Do that elsewhere, don't bring your petty bullshit here. We have plenty of our own. Yes, I'm annoyed. Yes, this could be considered stirring drama. I don't care, it's about time someone told you wannabe heroes of the downtrodden how things work around here.
Thanks,
Someone who actually worked on being less of an idiot to earn the respect they have here.
