ok, this isn’t links, but I’m too lazy to take shots and so for three posts only. And I did start it here after all

[quote author=“joefox”]I questioned it twice because you keep changing your answer!
Look at the bold words on your earlier PM…

[quote author=“Whaleman”][quote author=“joefox”]Correction 3rd but I will reuse the others.

I said third. So at least we agree on that. Though I can’t see the need for a correction.

P.S. Don’t treat me like——! I’m trying to become less of a nuance but if you keep picking at me, like a scab, I can’t go away!

I don’t treat you like four dashes. I treat you like everybody else. If you read the forum guidelines in the FAQ in general, I do point out that people should avoid posting new topics if it can be avoided, because it makes finding old topics more difficult. It’s rather easy to understand. the fewer topics, the fewer to search among, the less work to find them. I don’t treat you any different in this aspect than anybody else, because I can’t see anybody that posts three topics for general gameplay questions for the same game. Most reuse their old, or those that don’t gets asked to do so, just like you.

If the only way to make you stop this is to make a new file for this type of Q. then I will. 2 Joes may be a big problem, no?

I can check what IP you post from, so would another user show up with equally bad respect for the english language as well as the forum guidelines, the I’d start to suspect something and find it out rather easily. That could end up with a deletion of both accounts if you make it bad, so I wouldn’t try if I was you.

[quote author=“Whaleman”][quote author=“joefox”]You Misunderstand

Where did you get This?

[quote author=“Whaleman”]Most reuse their old

No, I did not misunderstand. I got that in a little place called reality. In fact, the first thing that I made as a mod (actually, I got to be a mod to be able to do it), was to make a guy stop topic spamming.

If you read through all topics ever made over two and a half year (as I do), you get to see several cases of “thanks for the reply. I got another question though” in the old topics. Very few start a new topic for every minor issue/question they have regarding the same game, among the worst are you, Prometheus, and Deathlok2001. The other have shaped up (Deathlok has more or less stopped posting though, wouldn’t call that shape up). Remember that I’ve been on these forums 20 times longer than you, and that your month and a half here haven’t even shown you half of what is going on. So don’t draw any hasty conclusions that it does not happen just because you haven’t seen it happen. It does. Trust me.

You say most, several, most. Yet all you had to do was provide an example. Do you support you own statement? You don’t have to listen to me, but if you have a masters in Sci. and Bio., you should be able to use common sense.

my reply:

[quote author=“Whaleman”]I don’t contradict myself the least. You can see several example of people reusing their old topic because most people do so. I’m not gonna bother by digging up topics to show this though… you should be able to find them by yourself. I have too much to do to try to bash it into your mind that you’re just being silly.

There’s more questions asked in old topics than there’s new topics with similar questions to the old topics. If that’s not enough for you, then you’re not only silly, but stupid.

And his…

[quote author=“joefox”][quote author=“Whaleman”]You can see several example of people reusing their old topic because most people do so.

Ok But as a friend That sentence makes no since. I understand what you are trying to say but I don’t understand the way you worded it.

I told this to xaphongod but I plan to make a New years resolution to shut up. I think that will make much of IMG happy.

Now he’s also able to mess up the quotes in both messages, but I edited up the code to work properly.

I honestly can’t think of anything to say but: “I’m sorry my English is too advanced for you to understand, but there’s nothing wrong with it. Actually I missed an “s” in examples, but that’s it. Maybe you should study your own native language a bit to learn it, because when you’re outmaneuvered by somebody who didn’t start to learn the language until the age of 10, you should be pretty ashamed of yourself.

Ok, one more….

[quote author=“joefox”]That is not to advanced I’ve stopped my PM debate with him. I’m trying to be polite and to stop but you are being a pain in the ass, about everything I say now. I didn’t correct you because like I was saying I’m trying to be polite.

I will not respond to any more PM messages because you now asked me to stop.

Saying most then several is contradictory. Most implies over 50% of people several implies 2-5. We have over 6500 users 500 isn’t even over 50%. Let alone 10%. I understand what you tried to say, but your wording is incorrect.

And back:

Ok, one more time, with even more emphasis. Several examples of this can be found because most people that post more questions about one game reuse their old topics.

The last part was pretty much given, because the people that don’t post several simple questions on the same game can’t be counted here. I’m sorry if I was not clear enough for that.

If you would like to be like most of out members, you don’t post at all, and that’s even better. But as for posting several minor gameplay questions in a row on the same game, you’re in an extreme minority no matter how you look at it.

You really need to learn reading comprehension… and some common sense to boot.

He really isn’t worth it. I’d like to see some threats being made to him and prometheus about bans, they’re just clutter.

Funny stuff.  Tidus should have gone to a better school, or paid some attention in the one he did go to…  LOL
