well thats nice... you seem to not get the fact... that I personally took offense to the fact that Detta scolded me for agreeing to do something for the forum... If anyone deserves to be even remotely punished then it should be both me and Detta... He decided to provoke me... and I can't help when I am provoked in a manner like that I am going to respond... The only way i will use proper grammar on this forum is if Detta admits that he was in the wrong for scolding me for agreeing to obey the rules!

I am wrong for standing up for myself?? I will not stand to be mistreated by anyone  no matter how powerful you are on the forum... He had no right to bitch at me for agreeing to obey the rules... not to mention every thread i have started has been spammed to fucking hell and dragged off topic by you people so how am i wrong? I tried to be nice and civil and everyone just decided to try and bug the fuck out of me... now honestly what do you expect when someone new to the forum is treated like shit? I lost all respect for almost all of you when Detta scolded me for agreeing to obey the rules... and now you tell me I am wrong for wanting an apology... that makes things a hell of a lot better now dont it?

You're wrong for storming into a place where you should consider yourself to be a guest and demanding to be treated in some fashion that suits you.  We owe you nothing.  If you're going to become an active member of this forum, we'll expect you to follow the rules set forth by the regular members of the forum.  For it is these regular members who give the forum its flavor.  If you read around before you signed up for a screen name and you decided that this was a place that you'd like to be a part of, then clearly there was something about the flavor offered by the regulars here.   If, however, you failed to bother to even read a few of the threads before registering, then you made your first mistake before you even hit the register button.

Why Detta, who is female by the way, thinks you should do something shouldn't matter in the least.  I think you should use proper English online because it would make your third-grade teacher proud.  Demosthenes thinks you should use proper English online because he likes Jules from Pulp Fiction.

As I said several times before, it's the Internet.  Don't take it personally.

Your 24 hour ban has started.  Please take that time to think about how you want to be treated when you return - if you return.  If you don't return, take with you the knowledge that any forum that is worth joining will have standards and they'll expect you to adhere to those standards.

But, Grammar is a pain in the ass waste of time when it comes to people I will never meet in my life! But, It is a forum rule I'm guessing so I will make an effort.

If you don't care enough about us to speak clearly...why would you be here?  Don't do it just because it's a rule.  Understand the reason behind the rule.  And have a little bit of pride in what you have to say.

If this is what he is talking about I don't see the scolding.  I see Detta trying to guide him in the right direction.  The same way that many others have.

Oh, and is this a kinder/gentler Bizb we are starting to see here?   :wink:

Ummm... yeah.... mexican cigarette... that's it...

Actually, I saw potential in this one.  I may be wrong.  I may be crazy.  But I just might be the lunatic you're lookening for.</digress>

I take my new role as moderator here seriously.  When I don't have the power to push the button, I am quick to type "*click*" because someone gets under my skin.  However, when part of my responsibility as a member of this forum is to maintain or restore the integrity, flavor and style that is acceptable, I take on that role with some reverence for those whom I'm charged to protect.  I also must consider the growth and future of the site.

Kinder/Gentler?  Perhaps.  Maybe you're just getting to know <BizB mode="dad">.

I could see that Biz.  Along with the possible potential.

Other wise Ivan and me would both be gone by now.

Just pokin' fun my friend.  I can see you're taking it seriously.

But it is a different side Dad.

I am waiting for an apology because someone bitched at me... for agreeing to the forum rules... and what i said about grammar being a pain in the ass was playful banter... if you thought i was seriously against using grammar then you are a bit dense... i am not against it im just boycoting it till i atleast get an apology and as i am a human being I expect to be treated equal to a point no matter how new i am to a forum When people scold me for obeying the rules that kinda pushes my buttons a little to much i guess... so until that grammar nazi apologies in almost every single post i make there will be no grammar cept my ellipse...

If it is a thread I find important enough to use grammar in you will obviously know because of its use. All I want is an apology, is that too much to ask?

Vampire as Bizb said:

No.  You're wrong.

Detta was simply asking a question.  Even though you may have added a disclaimer to the above quote, it is still a valid question.

Having said that you need to either:

     a. Bring on the funnay.
     b. Calm the fark down.
     3. Piss off.

If you choose the first two options together you may make it around here.  If not then option three can be by your own choice or  by ours.

I am waiting for an apology
How rude. Come in to our forums and demand an apology from a moderator. Imagine how that makes your mom feel. That reflects poorly on her efforts in raising you.

im just boycoting it
You don't have that option.


I expect to be treated equal to a point no matter how new i am to a forum
Or that one.


in almost every single post i make there will be no grammar cept my ellipse...
Or that one.


All I want is an apology, is that too much to ask?
Or that one.


When people scold me for obeying the rules that kinda pushes my buttons
When people come into our forums and act like a retarded idiot, make demands, mouth off about boycotts and such, refuse to follow the forum rules or reminders from mods about grammar, proceed to call mods and regular members a variety of names, and attempt to tell us just how you are going to post it does make me want to push your button. And btw - there's only one button.

Vampire,

Your only purpose here at this point is to amuse and entertain me.  If you can't do it on your own, I will take it upon myself to amuse myself at your expense.  Of course, my only purpose here is to amuse and entertain others, so everyone will be getting a laugh at your expense.

You had your chance.  You came back with the same fucked up attitude that you had when I put you in the time-out corner.  That's exactly the wrong thing to have done.

I don't know where I bitched about you following the rules.  And I can't read your posts to find an explanation. 

That's exactly what I'm saying.  I don't want to read your posts, because its way too much effort.  An occasional slip, I'm fine with.  Even more than an occasional slip, but if it takes actual EFFORT...I don't have that kind of time.  I work 2 jobs (neither of which allow me to fart around on the internet), devote time to community service and am trying to plan a wedding.  I just don't have this kind of time.  If anyone else does...I'm happy for you if you can communicate with them.

Think of how frustrating it must be for me to know that you're talking about me in this thread and still have no idea of what you're saying because I just can't take the time decipher it.  Hey Lacerda, can I borrow your rosetta stone?

Ok.  You're right.  I'm sorry I pressed the issue.

I get that you are a bunch of retards with a god complex. I swear a simple little apology for offending someone is too much for you idiots to even comprehend. Honestly if you think that people are here for your own amusement and that you are here for theres then why bother with life? I am hear to learn new things to further better myself as a person. You children need to respect other human beings and their feelings otherwise you will end up helping the destruction of the human race increase in speed. It is people like you who make it so irritating to deal with people. Thank god the assholes in the world seem to culminate together so it will be easier to avoid dealing with them.

I see that you edited your post above my last one, where you were bitching at Detta for scolding you again.

She didn't have and still doesn't have anything to apologize for.  For your information, she wasn't scolding.  She was asking a question and offering advice for here and in any other part of your life.  If this place isn't your cup of tea fine.  Just don't expect anyone here to change it just to suit you.

With your attitude I think that the Army (or whatever branch of service will have you) might do you some good.  When you start your whining, bitching, and moaning about how people don't treat you right you'll be in for a rude awakening.  I'm sure the military will change the way they do things just to make you happy.  :roll:
