The Official Rant Thread

[Astral Omega]

Well, his was entirely justified. You, however, are just being a jerk.

No, I would not use the word entirely here. Yes, I don't appreciate Marley's attitude here. I also don't appreciate the fact that this has turned into an all out flame attack against him.

Sure, I could have looked it up on Wikipedia Marley, but I found it more convenient to ask you since the MSN window was already open. It's just something I truly HATE HATE HATE (!!!!) when people ignore me. I get really anoyed when it happens. (It's in the category of when people say anything derogatory about a certain group of people (ie. racist, homophobic etc.) or if they ultracrepidate.)

And all this name calling and swearing is not cool. seriously. It's okay that you all have your opinions, but I seriously thought that moving my post to the Official Rants thread would stop this.

Obviously I was wrong. Now will everyone shut up about this!

Now I want to repeat that becasue I know how THICK some of you are (you know who you are becasue I have personally TOLD you that you are THICK)

DROP THE SUBJECT! END OF DISCUSSION! NOBODY IS A DAMN SLUGMA! I WANT THE CONVERSATION ABOUT THIS WHOLE MARTH THING TO STOP.

Did you get that? It was in all-cap for you. ALL of you.

Now the person/s that I have told are pretty thick may construe that last bit as a personal attack. NO! I was repeating it becasue there is rather a lot of thickness, not only on your part but on the part of EVERYONE who continued the topic long after it waa stopped in the other thread.

Now I have built a bridge, I've gotten over it. Is it so hard for everyone else?

I really don't want to fight anymore. I've already had one heated argument over MSN and I don't want to again. I hate being angry. I'm usually the one sorting out the agruments, not actually being IN them!

So there. I propose a GROUP HUG!

Alright, this is getting out if hand! This may be the rant thread but its not the argue thread.

Astral Omega is correct. No more discussion of this topic. My warning was not just for the ‘Say hi’ thread.

If you have an issue with another user, PM a mod, DO NOT just argue about it on the main forum please.

[Saber Knight]

Thank you, Astral. I was thinking of stepping in myself (though I have no powers and am completly irrelevant in this argrument so I'd probably be useless).

Um, so yeah, I had a rant, but when I woke up I forgot it so it must have not been that important. So....yeah....

[Josiah]

As Shauni said, this needs to stop now (or at least right after I get the final word seeing as I'm the admin and all). I deleted some posts and sent a couple of warnings.

Marley: You've blown this thing way out of proportion. I'm sure I could name as least 20 awesome video game characters you've never heard of before and I wouldn't make a big deal about it. So what if someone doesn't know who Marth is? What's it really matter? And your wikipedia comment was just being a jerk. Most people don't rush to look up info on some game character they're not familiar when they hear his/her name. Serious, I doubt many people here (if anyone) ran to Wikipedia to look up Serge and Kidd after that one Saying Hi post of mine. Long story short, your getting way too carried away and you're being a jerk. Just stop before it gets worse.

Doodle: As I said, I wasn't happy with Marley's behavior either but you really went overboard there. Flaming doesn't solve anything.

Everyone Else: This issue is now over and I want no more discussion on it.

I have a rant...

I'm ranting about people who abuse my rant thread.

This has happened in the past and if this happens ONE. MORE. TIME. I'm shutting this thread down.


Ka-pish?


New rules actually,

IF YOU RANT ABOUT OTHER FORUM MEMBERS, YOUR POST WILL BE DELETED AND YOU'LL RECEIVE A WARNING.

Take it up in the community thread, not here.

NOOES!!!!!11one

STOP FIGHTING RIGHT NOW!!!

[Shadowman]

Community Thread? Que? What's that? I never heard of that before...

[Josiah]

The community thread is in this section, near the top. But it's purpose doesn't involve ranting about other forum members either, so don't do it there. In fact, don't do it anywhere on the forums. If you have a problem with someone let me, Shauni, or Silver know and we'll decide how to handle it.

[auragongal]

Blarg, my history teacher is a moron, at open house he told my parents we had a test that day and what we really did was read chapter 7 in the book. He even said I made an 87 on the non-existant test. anyone else have something like this?

[NabMaster]

Well, I have a bit of a rant, but if possible I'd like to hear some opinions from you folks too, because honestly I'm getting really tired of this. About 3 weeks ago, I met a girl. Really nice girl, kinda shy, got her email address (never did get my phone set up, and the 'net here isn't good enough to do Skype), and I've been emailing her these last 3 weeks. Thing is, she's been steadily emailing less and less, with shorter and more basic responses, and now she hasn't responded in roughly a week. I don't know what went wrong there, I was just bringing up casual conversations, like "how are you liking uni" and "how was your visit with your grandparents", you know, just stuff like that. So I'm pretty hurt that she's not responding to me anymore. I just wish I could find out what happened, so at the very least I can know what went wrong.
On another note, there's a girl here that I like, we've known each other for a while now, and I asked her out, only to find out that she's actually got a boyfriend. Thing about that is, I'm massively shy and I have very strong self doubt issues on this sort of thing, so I tend to delay it until it is way too late. We're still hanging out, but I feel really crushed about this. It's not like I haven't been denied before (heck, I'm used to it), but I'm really bummed about this. Being single sucks, and I'm quite sick of it. I'm not a partygoer by any means (I study and do homework while I can see everyone getting wasted from my bedroom window), I don't drink even though I'm legally able now; I just don't know how I'm going to find someone. I've been the in-betweener for a girl before (you know, where they dump/got dumped by someone, date to feel better, or whatever the reason, and go back to them/someone else), and I don't want to have that sort of relationship happen with someone else, but, well, I just don't know what to do. If anyone would like to give me some advice, I'd appreciate it.
Oh, I also had a very strange dream the other night. I'm not going to go into details, it was really long, but I kinda want to write it. Thing is, all the stories I attempt start going nowhere fast somewhere mid-story and I can never seem to find the right way to keep it going. Also, it's most likely showing in the roleplay section, but I'm hardly the most detailed of writers. So I'm not sure whether to take the chance or not.

[Astral Omega]

I really have no advice for you... I'm in the same boat. (I don't meet many guys etc.) YOu should just be glad that you actually had the guts to tell this girl that you liked her tobegin with >.< I had a crush on the guy who worked in teh produce section of the supermarket I worked at... but he always dated the skinny blonde girls and although he did talk to me and he was really nice and always had great ideas for movies/novels etc... and he always told me about the girls he was going out with or when he was single as if he was hinting something but... uh... yeah, long story short: he moved away and joined the air force and I never told him that I liked him.

So yes, people please help my poor friend NabMaster... because I need to hear these suggestions too!

(About the whole emailing thing... I dunno either... maybe she found someone... maybe she's just busy...)

About the dream, just write the basic idea of how the dream went, then you can flesh out the story from there... I don't know. I've had a dream like that before too... it was about the daughter of the devil and an angel who was adopted by humans, then she ended up finding out she had magical powers or something becasue she ended up recieving a book called "you're the spawn of satan, now what?" or something like that... The main thing I learned fromt hat dream is how to show pyrokenesis in a really cool way on film ^^ I may use it one day...

So yeah... I don't know

[Josiah]

No to sound rude, but I see no reason to be in a rush to couple up. As long as you don't lock yourself away from the world you'll meet someone eventually. Just do things you like to do, go to places you like to go, and see what happens. If you don't like to drink then I certainly wouldn't recommend going to bars to look for a girl/guy seeing as the ones there probably don't have the same interests as you. There's really nothing wrong with being single until you meet the right person, no hurry at all. Just get out there, make friends with people who like the same types of things you do (join a club or an activity group or something), and see what happens.

As for the e-mailing, some people just get tired of sending e-mails back and forth after awhile. If you e-mail some one really often you start to run out of things to say and it gets kinda repetitious.

[PoikSpirit]

Single-ness isn't so bad. Don't concentrate on it, try to get out and meet people. Who knows, you may fall in love with a someone you meet eventually, or maybe the other girl will break up. There are worse things than being single. Trust me, I went through a personal heck in my last relationship. It's not worth a rant though... Maybe psychiatric therapy though. Although I am worried about her; she's eloping with her new boyfriend to piss off her parents. I hope her marriage works out or she remembers that her friends are there for her, because her parents aren't going to take her back.

That didn't help at all did it.

[Silver]

Wow, Stevenson was right... Poik really has lost his Spark.

So today, I'm here to rant to you about how over-rated dating is. I've never dated anyone in my life - and I don't plan to, as I have mentioned before - because the general concept has caused me nothing but problems. What's so great about it? Honestly. Why would you want a boy/girl/hermaphrodite friend when you can have a run-of-the-mill/gender-non-specific/superior-in-every-way/just friend?

Let's take a look at Silver's SOS Brigade. I know I've mentioned them. A lot. Because they're the best. Usually. ...So, it starts off, everyone's friends, it's all happy fun times. Then Mikuru and Itsuki hook up. Then they break up. Now Mikuru's pissed off at Itsuki for like three months, to which I say, "How the fudge crackers can you be mad at Itsuki?" So then Mikuru moves on to Kyon, which is not only somewhat upsetting to Itsuki, but results in Mikuru getting even more pissed at Kyon than she was at Itsuki when they break up. So then Haruhi declares Kyon her boyfriend (finally something that makes sense using the Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu names), which makes everyone frustrated with everyone else except for me. Yuki, the super-smart alien, was the only one that didn't get involved in the giant mess that is romance, and as a result, was the only one that didn't have any enemies at the end of the day! ...Although I did kind of make an enemy out of... let's call her Asakura (who Yuki kills in the anime XD) who's not even part of the SOS-dan and had no idea what was going on but decided she was Mikuru's BFF and went off on a gossipy rant about how much of a jerk Itsuki was. I defended him ("How the fudge crackers can you be mad at Itsuki?") and she didn't like that so...

Gah! The point is, bad things happen when you date people. Even to people that don't date people. Why is so much emphasis put on having boy/girl/hermaphrodite friends, anyway? It seems that's the central focus of a lot of people's school careers... even down in middle school - I'm talking about my 13 year old sibling - they're pairing up already. And not telling their parents. I swear, Sam... But there's just no point! You know? I blame the media! For! Ruining! Everything!

[Giga-Gar]

Silver, I think your experiences with your SOS brigade has given you a distorted veiw on relationships, but that's a discusion for another topic.

We have a contest tomarrow and we still haven't started on the closer. Want to know why? The same people who are out of step and plain old refuse to even march are holding us back! It's so annoying! And apparently, some people can't guide, because when there is supposed to be a line/diagonal, it's an arc, and when there is supposed to be an arc, there's a line/diagonal! It's so frustrating!
