I actually cringed when I saw that appear in your post. Twice.

Here's a tip: think before you post. (http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=12693223&postRepeater1-p=2#12722604)

Here's a tip for you - don't call anyone a pea-brain. I don't insult the size of your brain therefore you shouldn't insult the (assumed) size of my brain.

Here's a tip I'd like to share with everybody: "treat others as you would expect others to treat you". I sometimes refer to this ideology when dealing with others; however, sometimes it backfires on me. However, in some cases, I just give up on people that I attempt to apply this ideology to.

[Agamemnon]

You never will learn, will you? Seeing as the only language you seem to understand is the one you dish out to others, then how do you propose for others to say something that actually does get through to you? I'm done sugar coating things, especially for you.

[Kornman00]

See? A statement like this is exactly what I'm talking about. There's more effort in Minesweeper then there is in this port. (http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=12693223&postRepeater1-p=2#12720014)
Wow. Jackass. I hope you die tonight Agame, that was just too low and uncalled for :|

[DrunkenSamus]

Wait...HUH!? Did this just turn into a "hate" thread? Why are my Kornman senses tingling?

[Stealth]

wow, we got off topic with my little fight with agamemnon, oh well, back on topic please.

[rossmum]

Stealth, you never fucking learn, do you?

Here's a tip for new members: Use some fucking common sense. Don't come in here thinking you're hot shit and we actually care about who you are or what you've done or pay the slightest bit of attention to your opinions. Your reputation on some obscure clan site or overpopulated forum few of us care to visit means nothing here. You have to earn it. So don't come in all White Knight on our asses ranting about how the senior members/rep system/insert perfectly fair forum component here are/is corrupt; your reputation is earned. If you're a worthless shitbag, you'll be treated like one and it'll be reflected in your rep. If you're popular with the majority of users, you'll enjoy respect and a lot of pretty green bars. Contrary to the beliefs of a certain few - one of whom tried to start rep circles of their own, might I add - there are no rep circles active in any hidden 'conspiracy boards'. Rep circling ended within a few weeks of the site going live and had shit all effect on those involved, and the invisible sections - which nobody outside knew shit about, as much as they might like to think they do by posting out-of-context quotes and making idiotic assumptions - have been closed down for a few weeks now and won't be going back up, thanks to said people shitting up the forums with their theories on what went on in there. In addition, don't come crying to us about how us senior members are being assholes and flaming. If you post something shit and refuse to accept constructive criticism, which is by no means flaming, then you will likely find yourself on the wrong end of a well-deserved verbal bashing. Don't complain, because nobody cares and you'll just destroy your reputation even further.

However, feel free to disagree with us whenever you want - just do it in an intelligent and civil fashion, and things will go along just fine. You don't have to suck up to senior members and it annoys the shit out of us when people do so. You have an opinion, we have ours. Don't bandwagon.

Hint: Posting like you, Stealth. Hint: pretend you're not you, then post.

[Mr Buckshot]

H2V forums are not the same as those clan forums where you've established yourself, Stealth. You want to be in here, you respect the rules, otherwise don't be here. I'm phrasing this as nicely as I possibly can.

This thread can be locked.

I like him :|

also :lock:

[Tweek]

this thread delivers!

[n00b1n8R]

flames = delivers now?

[rossmum]

I see no flames.

[n00b1n8R]

you didn't read the threads in agamenon's links then.

perhaps trolling is a better word? or flame baiting?

[Kornman00]

Good thing I'm only a moderator in the Halo forums so I can't be blamed for letting these threads go on without rearing :downs:

[rossmum]

First of all, those aren't on this site, so despite the fact he linked to them in his post, they're irrelevant. Second, as far as I can tell, Stealth provoked it... as per usual.

Either way, Stealth reacted here as well and that's worse than Aga linking to flames, as far as I'm concerned.

[n00b1n8R]

aggy was flame baiting by linking the posts IMO.

he could have easilly left them out of it.

[Reaper Man]

here's a tip for you. don't call any one pea brain. I don't insualt the size of your brain, you don't insualt the believed size of mine, ok? ok.
and here is a tip for every one, try to treat others the way you want to be treated, I some times use this, but some times it back fires in my face, or I just give up on the person.
Hey, pea-brain, I will now list your spelling and grammatical errors, as the common practice of highlighting them in quotes doesn't seem to get through to you.
here's - Here's
don't - Don't
any one - anyone
insualt - insult
insualt - insult
ok - Ok/Okay.
and - And
And as the start of a sentence
every one - everyone
some times - sometimes
back fires - backfiresNow here is your post as it should appear when written by an educated person.

I sometimes refer to this ideology when dealing with others; however, sometimes it backfires on me. However, in some cases, I just give up on people that I attempt to apply this ideology to.You obviously go to/have gone to school and studied English. Why not show us proof of that once in a while? While I'm at it, I'd like to add the fact that the size of one's brain is not much of a deciding factor in one's intelligence.

[rossmum]

Amen to that.

Just as easily as Stealth could've not taken the bait, like the time before and the time before that.

[n00b1n8R]

so the fact that stealth responded justifys his actions?

I'm not sure I like where that logic is going..

[rossmum]

Where did I state anything even vaguely similar to that?

Seriously, where the fuck did you pull that shit from? :raise:

[n00b1n8R]

Amen to that.


Just as easily as Stealth could've not taken the bait, like the time before and the time before that.

you stated that stealth not responding would have been as easy as it would have been for aggy to not post the links.

while this is true, the way you put it, it came across to me as though you were saying that the fact that stealth did take the bait made aggy's actions more acceptible.

[Snowy]

Well, this thread went south...

[Stealth]

agreed, and most spelling errors pointed out by reaper man has been fixed, and I'm locking this thread. And I didn't fall into agamemnon's trap, I'm the one kind of started it.
