More Flaming [Here]
Ok, I recieved another flame today, this time through PM. I know PMs are supposed to be private, but I just couldn't resist, so here it is in its entirety.
This is from itschris917, titled "who do you think you are?!?!?!?!?!?!?!:
i have been looking through these posts and what i saw was appalling. Is the only thing you do telling other people that they need better rep? How in the hell are they going to get better rep if you don't allow them to have the freedom to post? I understand what you are saying when you are criticizing their low post count and their questionable morales when it comes to this forum and requesting scripts. but nobody gave you the right to criticize them for this! You are not a mod, or anything more than a freaking chicken. So god dam it, stop ruining peoples threads and mind your own business. That is why we have mods in the first place. Keep this in mind next time you are ruining somebody's thread. thanks for your time asswipe. Have a nice day.
Other people can respond to this however they like. I for one, will not respond by calling him any names. Plain facts are all I need. So thus, my only question is, "Who do you think YOU are?"
EDIT: In all fairness, this was in response to this thread:
http://www.villavu.com/forum/showthread.php?t=13251What I said was after I had seen the green square change to him, then to the next poster, then back to him. If he's not the same person, then I'm sorry. Maybe I was too harsh.

Edit: First off, I want to get one thing straight!
Copypasta>ramen :P
Ok, with that in mind, please, continue.
i have been looking through these posts and what i saw was appalling. Is the only thing you do telling other people that they need better rep?
No actually, it’s not. I have looked through many of her posts, and it is very rare that she makes any reference to post count or reputation. I can’t really remember he telling people to increase their reputation either, lol.
How in the hell are they going to get better rep if you don't allow them to have the freedom to post?
Perhaps by not wasting this forum? Perhaps by contributing to the community, making good intelligent posts, trying to learn, and maybe even helping other people to learn.
Here is not restricting their freedom at all, they can post spam and crap as much as they want, just because here puts them on the spot for it doesn’t mean anything bad.
I understand what you are saying when you are criticizing their low post count and their questionable morales when it comes to this forum and requesting scripts. but nobody gave you the right to criticize them for this!
That’s some crap. Since when did she have to have the right to post her thoughts? I think she is right, and obviously so does here, and I believe that in most cases, being right (or even thinking you are right) is reason enough.
For instance, look at yourself! Who gave you the right to send this bashing pm to here? Who do you think you are? Lol. See it just doesn’t work. You sent it to here because you felt that you should, (just as here felt that she should)
If everybody had to wait around for someone to give them an explicit right to do something, well nothing would ever be done. Lol.
You are not a mod, or anything more than a freaking chicken.
Sorry, but I never read that chickens aren’t allowed to make negative posts, and are restricted to positive ones?
In fact, I don’t remember reading that it is a Mod’s duty to go around ruining peoples threads either, lol.
So god dam it, stop ruining peoples threads and mind your own business. That is why we have mods in the first place.
Mind her own business? This is a public thread, on a public forum, that she is quite involved in! This IS her business. In fact, whoever posted that thread… probably wanted it to be LOTS of peoples business, else they would just go ask a friend, lol.
thanks for your time asswipe. Have a nice day.
Cute, I like how you use this to emphasize the immature, unthoughtout mindset you are in.
Also, something worth noting. All of your points are crap, and have nothing to back them up, you were just spitting out garbage remarks that have zero real meaning, and don’t make any form of logic (sometimes even contradictory!)
How is it possible that
you MISSED the one tiny bit of gravel that you actually had to stand on? It’s like you mentioned all of the horrible reasons you had, and didn’t bother to mention your one logical one!
Here on this forum, we are all encouraged to be nice, polite, encouraging, and helpful. That’s what makes this forum such a great place to be. Although here did have good reason to point out these leachers, I suppose that she still could have sugar coated her comments a bit more, and made it more polite so no one gets offended.
Now granted, this is a weak argument, but it’s the only one you got.
Hahaha, I am a mean bitch.

I dunno they might've been the same people. There is a bit of difference between their two posts though. His friend "wanderer" has worse grammer, spelling, etc. Just something to point out.
The PM was totally unneccesary though.
And you're not mean. Maybe a tad harsh at times, if anything.
Yes, they might not've been the same person. And I'm sorry for that. But one thing I know is that they were on the same computer. And it blows my mind to wonder why he would've let his friend on the computer JUST to say that, then log back on.

No, you are not mean. You just have a unique method of showing your points. Rather than making them socially / forumly correct, you focus on making your posts as simply precise and targeted as possible, in order to remove all confusion. Unfortunately considering the audience you are broadcasting to, this bluntness requires them to accept it in a method that they are unable to. What normally happens is that they take your comment as a challenge/threat and feel that it's appropriate to respond back with garbage (crumpled paper style).

Yeah, I am on Here's side for this one. Some people think she is a mean bitch (like herself) but I say she's right to do it and post her thoughts. Most people would think the same thing and he just had to come up with the excuse of his friend was at his house, just to create an account at SRL so that he could post twice on this whole forum. And why would you post "I think it is a great idea" (or something like that) when the person was pretty much right next to you, I would guess?
I don't think you were harsh at all I think you had the right to think it and post it. You didn't have to get flamed for it, all he had to do was to tell you nicely that it was his friend.

every last one of my posts in dark red? Ahh, yes, those where the good old days. I got flamed for posting like this, and didn't even care :) Unfortunately, some people a respect politely asked me to stopWhich is when I launched my next counter attack.
My argument was that most peoples signature are more annoying than a dark red– readable text. So I made this sig

Then i decided that maybe this was rude and obnoxious, so i just put "red text" in my sig, with a link to the pic.

No, ideas are more than 5 percent. I spend most of my time on my script just getting the idea's to make it work, ( and i would have saved more time overall if i had spend more)
the extra d is for DINOSAUR!!!! (or dynamic) and it's basically a dtm made dynamicaly out of varibles. It has high potential, but all it means is that you can have a auto colored dtm.
Good luck with your learning!

Ahh, my little padawan,
you are stilll learning the ways of the red.
There are specific, precise, moments; set down when the world was created, as for when the appropriate times for both
red and
red where.
For instance, take a look at these colors RGB style… you see, they are both red, just one has about 100 more.
This corresponds to the emphasis and readability I am going for.
Look at this forums background color, it makes
red harder to read, than this plain dark bluish. It should be reserved for moments when it is also appropriate to bolden the comment as well.
red however, is good for any old moment you please, because if you go HSL style, it has (nearly) the samd saturation and luminance as the default text.
Yeah, i stil think youare scary because
1. you and my ideas clash quite often (silently)
2. you have almost 1000 posts
3. you have evil santa's as your icon
4. you are trying to become a mod

Oh, mabey red is gay to you, but that's an opinion I'm not going to bother arguing.
Red was around long before aids were, red was around arguably seince the first day god created the earth (when he made electomagnetic waves :) )
I don't think of red in association to aids, or gay people. I think of it in association to power, passion, fire, desire, blood, destruction, love, and fury. (to name a few).
Oh, and seince obviously red is gay to you… I can easily say that you have a gay signature!!! Ooohhh lols.

If you take a look at googles search algorithm and its page ranking system, all that means is that there are more devout aids and gay people searching google, than there are red enthiusiatics looking for a site about the color (whithc can be found on the wiki link)
Someone's been doing his research.

It did seem kind of suspicous though,., i will admit, but i think he was just angry and needed to vent some pent up anger. lol. anyway, sorry about this whole thing, i stood there watching him type it and i was laughing the whole time. I think it was just kind of a joke, but I think it is sort of funny that it got this much attention. And i agree, the points didnt make sense, but I dont think they were meant too (if this is a joke like I think it is). Good luck with… life i guess… anyway, just wanted to input my little bit there.

Wrong. You did not CLEARLY state it that you love yourself for being childish and ignorant, you just stated that you love kids. Furthermore, narcissistic does not mean to "think higher of oneself", but rather to "love oneself" as shown by the myth of Narcissus and Echo. If I had instead used "egotistic", it would be in fact the "erroneous" word. Thus, narcissistic was the right word.

Ahh, arguments, my favorite. I'm gonna so love having you on these forums.
Now let's go to my favorite place,
www.dictionary.com !
You did not CLEARLY state it that you love yourself for being childish and ignorant, you just stated that you love kids.
Did I not? I apply kids with being childish, that's correct eh? And then because I call myself a kid, I am in turn calling myself childish. Transative property :). Rather simple.
Courtesy of dictionary.com.
narcissistic
adjective
characteristic of those having an inflated idea of their own importance [syn: egotistic]
Now, I don't know about you, but I'm quite sure that the definition of narcissistic is in fact extremely similar to egotistic.
Courtesy of dictionary.com
egotistic
adjective
1. characteristic of those having an inflated idea of their own importance
2. characteristic of false pride; having an exaggerated sense of self-importance; "a conceited fool"; "an attitude of self-conceited arrogance"; "an egotistical disregard of others"; "so swollen by victory that he was unfit for normal duty"; "growing ever more swollen-headed and arbitrary"; "vain about her clothes" [syn: conceited]
Wait, oh look, they're the same!! So my point is, you could've used either word, but they were both wrong. Or shall I say erroneous. ^_^
Oh, and lolpie, stop sucking up to Here.
-Dunceiam
Wrong. Because you call yourself a kid does not mean you call yourself childish. I would have to INFER that, taking out all nuances of "clear". So no, it's actually not "rather simple". I might be a teenager, but I DO NOT, tell people that I "act like a teenager" or am "sophomoric". So your transitive property does not apply to inferences like these.
Next, I do notice that you have skipped over several definitions of narcissistic to get to yours. So again, you have lied by omission (lying is too strong a word, but you get my point).
The FIRST definition that appears:
inordinate fascination with oneself; excessive self-love; vanity.
The next:
Psychoanalysis. erotic gratification derived from admiration of one's own physical or mental attributes, being a normal condition at the infantile level of personality development.
Take out erotic, and that all fits.
Next, the first sentence on wikipedia.
Narcissism describes the character trait of self love.
So no, I HAVE used the right word. Next, check the myth of Narcissus and Echo. In there, I have also proved the right use of the word. Next, from Oxford, a dictionary my English teacher swore by (You don't need to respect it, I'm just telling you):
excessive or erotic interest in oneself and one’s physical appearance.
Last, you seem to think that I have something against you. I don't. My first comment was in play. But I too, adore arguments. "Egotistic" is not TRULY related to "narcissistic". Trust me, I do my research before I know someone's going to be in disagreement with me.

I might be a teenager, but I DO NOT, tell people that I "act like a teenager" or am "sophomoric". So your transitive property does not apply to inferences like these.
I'm not quite sure on what you mean by that? I'm not trying to insult you, but if I apply a kid with being childish in my own opinion. Then when I call myself a kid, based on my previous application, I'm then calling myself childish? I understand that you have to make the assumption that the second comment is based on the same application as the first comment, but in life you can't be absolutely clear. People have to make assumptions by using the context around the word. Much like Mandarin, "Ta" can mean either He or She, but you have to use the context around the word to get the meaning of the phrase or sentence.
As for the skipping of the definitions, aren't ALL the definitions for the same word, narcissistic? Just different forms? If you disagree to that, then…
Your first definition,
inordinate fascination with oneself; excessive self-love; vanity.
That is for the definition for the specific word nar·cis·sism, plus it's a noun while narcissistic is an adjective. The small difference can change the meaning.
Psychoanalysis. erotic gratification derived from admiration of one's own physical or mental attributes, being a normal condition at the infantile level of personality development.
Again, that is for nar·cis·sism.
While, I wanted to be exact and get the correct definition I skipped the other definitions and went to the definition that was specifically for narcissistic.
characteristic of those having an inflated idea of their own importance [syn: egotistic]
So I didn't "lie" about the definition. I was strategic, and specific.
Next, from Oxford, a dictionary my English teacher swore by (You don't need to respect it, I'm just telling you)
I agree with your English teacher, I only have Oxford dictionaries in my house :).
I don't really have time to reply to the rest of your points in depth so I'll say it quickly.
As for the Oxford definition I don't have a dictionary near me, (I'm currently in Aus) so I can't contest that :).
As for "Egotistic" is not TRULY related to "narcissistic". As I showed before they have one same meaning, but yes, narcissistic does have more meanings in which egotistic does not. If you get what I mean.
I'm not trying to sound offending or anything, I don't
really have anything against you, I'll post a bit more when I get back from the beach.

Last, you seem to think that I have something against you. I don't.
Well, basically this is what happened in my mind. I'm in Australia as you obviously know. I cannot come on the internet as much as I used to be able to. So, while I'm gone, someone else comes in, everyone starts sucking up to her, and I'm curious why. I then find out by 3garrett3, "You're a mean bitch" :p. So, I find out you're blunt/mean, everyone sucks up to you for either being a female, or just because they're afraid of you? You could call me jealous of the fact that you won the support of half of the forums in what, 3 weeks? I've been here for a couple months and barely half the members know me. So, yes, I am in fact jealous.
Heh, I sound quite childish.

Yes, well living with two other brothers, both older then me…Basically, they insult me
alot, just now one walked by and called me a homo. I try to reason that homo's don't have girlfriends, but being the ignorant idiots they are, they keep calling me a homo. It's rather sad for them, they have no originality. It's to the point that I just accept the insults with a shrug, no reason trying to reason with a log. In a way, they've hardened me, made me not give a shit when anybody insults me. Which is why sometimes I love to get in fights over the internet. One, because their insults go through one ear and out the other for me, while I can just insult the other away. Well, that and I also get to argue with them :p. Summary = I can handle pretty much anything verbally. (h).
"Your a mean bitch" was a JOKE!
That was the first thing that came to my mind :). But I just realized what the whole point of this thread was…

Hehe, that made me giggle. Try reading a dictionary. I did that once, (Quite a small one, Oxford ones made my head hurt) Or just read a ton of books, both enhance your vocabulary and spelling a lot more then Grand Theft Auto San Andreas (Good game btw :p).

Yes, well living with two other brothers, both older then me…Basically, they insult me alot, just now one walked by and called me a homo. I try to reason that homo's don't have girlfriends, but being the ignorant idiots they are, they keep calling me a homo. It's rather sad for them, they have no originality. It's to the point that I just accept the insults with a shrug, no reason trying to reason with a log. In a way, they've hardened me, made me not give a shit when anybody insults me. Which is why sometimes I love to get in fights over the internet. One, because their insults go through one ear and out the other for me, while I can just insult the other away. Well, that and I also get to argue with them :p. Summary = I can handle pretty much anything verbally. (h).
Ya, my brother, who is ten, just says "your mom" whenever I tell him off or something, So it isnt always fun. Whenever people insult me, I just shrug it off, I always have for some reason. It's pretty cool I guess :D

That was the first thing that came to my mind :). But I just realized what the whole point of this thread was…
Hehe, that made me giggle. Try reading a dictionary. I did that once, (Quite a small one, Oxford ones made my head hurt) Or just read a ton of books, both enhance your vocabulary and spelling a lot more then Grand Theft Auto San Andreas (Good game btw :p).
At least I have someone I can now argue with? :).
Ya, well I'm a joker :p. I tried reading a dictionary once, I got a headache, literally, so I havnt tried it after that really :p. I read books quite alot, Harry Potter FTW :D. Whats wrong with Grand Theft Auto? It's a good game to enhance your *language*, and knowledge about certain things that go on in life :p.
From: Dunceiam
I'm not quite sure on what you mean by that? I'm not trying to insult you, but if I apply a kid with being childish in my own opinion. Then when I call myself a kid, based on my previous application, I'm then calling myself childish? I understand that you have to make the assumption that the second comment is based on the same application as the first comment, but in life you can't be absolutely clear. People have to make assumptions by using the context around the word. Much like Mandarin, "Ta" can mean either He or She, but you have to use the context around the word to get the meaning of the phrase or sentence.
As for the skipping of the definitions, aren't ALL the definitions for the same word, narcissistic? Just different forms? If you disagree to that, then…
Your first definition,
That is for the definition for the specific word nar·cis·sism, plus it's a noun while narcissistic is an adjective. The small difference can change the meaning.
Again, that is for nar·cis·sism.
While, I wanted to be exact and get the correct definition I skipped the other definitions and went to the definition that was specifically for narcissistic.
So I didn't "lie" about the definition. I was strategic, and specific.
I agree with your English teacher, I only have Oxford dictionaries in my house :).
I don't really have time to reply to the rest of your points in depth so I'll say it quickly.
As for the Oxford definition I don't have a dictionary near me, (I'm currently in Aus) so I can't contest that :).
As for "Egotistic" is not TRULY related to "narcissistic". As I showed before they have one same meaning, but yes, narcissistic does have more meanings in which egotistic does not. If you get what I mean.
I'm not trying to sound offending or anything, I don't really have anything against you, I'll post a bit more when I get back from the beach.

Your first paragraph is wrong. Absolutely wrong. Many people have fought over simple misunderstandings in language, because they were NOT clear. Like you. I can not read your mind, thus, I would have NO idea that when you call yourself a child, you call yourself childish. As I have said, when I call people children, I do NOT refer to their childishness, but rather their innocence.
Next, when we go to the dictionary to find meanings, we have to know which word these offspring came from. We do not say that "sad" and "sadness" have fundamentally different meanings because one is an adjective and one is a noun. They are one, just used differently. Also, your definition comes from WordNet, whose verity I do not care to trust. They have no reference to the word "narcissism" in there, when "narcissistic" means "in the state of narcissism" (forgive me, that's hard to read, but my point is there), as "sad" means "in the state of sadness".
So no, you weren't being specific, but rather strategic. If you would care to go to the Oxford site, a search for "narcissistic" brings up "narcissism" as does a quick search into Google, which brings up Wikipedia's article on "narcissism".
And have fun at the beach.
As for you being jealous of me, I have no idea why there are all these people thinking I'm so great. I'm sarcastic, cynical, sardonic, every synonym of scornful, yet I'm still admired. You have brains too, seems like intelligent meanness is a good thing around here.
@garrett, yes just read. SAT classes are for people who can't.

Ever heard of the war faught over a horse? All because a simple mis-understanding. More recently, when the Pope inserted a word and created a huge misunderstanding. (Not too sure on the specifics for that).
I can not read your mind, thus, I would have NO idea that when you call yourself a child, you call yourself childish. As I have said, when I call people children, I do NOT refer to their childishness, but rather their innocence.
I believe we're arguing on the same side?
I understand that you have to make the assumption that the second comment is based on the same application as the first comment, but in life you can't be absolutely clear.
I was agreeing with you there :). Well, I meant to at least. :).
We do not say that "sad" and "sadness" have fundamentally different meanings because one is an adjective and one is a noun.
They had different definitions, did they not? While, yes the noun and adjective just means different
Also, your definition comes from WordNet, whose verity I do not care to trust. They have no reference to the word "narcissism" in there, when "narcissistic" means "in the state of narcissism" (forgive me, that's hard to read, but my point is there), as "sad" means "in the state of sadness".
I can't check it due to me being on dial-up but, just saying but I used
www.dictionary.com and I'm guessing you're meaning that the actual definition within that site was from WordNet? I don't know what to say to that :).
As for you being jealous of me, I have no idea why there are all these people thinking I'm so great. I'm sarcastic, cynical, sardonic, every synonym of scornful, yet I'm still admired. You have brains too, seems like intelligent meanness is a good thing around here.
You could compare it to a nice little village. But then a bounty hunter comes in, and everyone just starts sucking up to him/her so they could keep their lives. While a select few have already sold their souls to the devil and don't care about living anymore :p.
As for the "intelligent meanness" thats what one would expect from a scripting forum eh?
Ya, my brother, who is ten, just says "your mom" whenever I tell him off or something, So it isnt always fun. Whenever people insult me, I just shrug it off, I always have for some reason. It's pretty cool I guess
Heh, but, "your mom" is quite different to having insults hurled at you every second of your life. In a way it feels like Ned Kelly, Australia's most notorious convict who fought against the unfair government. I could tell you more typing up five or so paragraphs, but I have a feeling nobody would want to read it :).

No, I'm not a hick. Unless you're in some uber-metropolis that would consider Los Angeles as "de cantrysayd". I just don't want one. It creates problems I'd rather not have (such as having to drive my little brother ALL OVER THE DAMN PLACE).

Ok. No, I live in the country, not way out, but it isnt the city. Actually, try looking up Falmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada. See what you get. It will show you just how far out I live. I still want a car though. I will deal with wherever I have to drive people, as long as they pay for the gas :).
Edit: No, go here, this has basically everything to know about where I live :p

We get our temporary liscense at 16, then a "restricted" liscense at 16 1/2, which only lets us have one other person in the car who's not related to us. And we can't drive between 12 and 6 AM. Then we get our real liscense at 17. And Here, that is just odd.
I could have used my own car tonight. . .I hate having to beg rides off of other people.

I don't really trust people, ever. And the more I am conviced of who they are, the more I doubt it. I am a natural born sceptic. But please don't take offence, it is not that you seem boy like at all, so be happy :)
I could expand this into about 6 paragraphy about my personalitys 'trust" chapter… but I really don't want to.
and if you ask.. have you ever trusted anyone in your life? And the anser is yes, once or twice, both were mistakes.
I really don't see any of the beinifts of trusting people really…but I see tons for not trusting people.

It all depends on how you were raised and how you interact with people. Personally I think trust is muy importante
Yes it is, but only if you have the right trust. I don't give out trust easily, and don't take it bad when it's lost.

Well, I can respect that. Trust for some people makes them decide how to act. For example, if you don't trust a person, maybe you wouldn't talk to them, or give them credit.
With me, I just generally assume people are lying, and take every think they say with a grain of salt. I listen to what they say, but also listen to why they would say it, and what they are getting out of saying it, and how they are manipulating people. Granted, they may not being doing any of that, (most definitely not intentionally) but I think that freud had a few things right…
Point is, I still function just fine, and most people would never be able to tell that I don't trust them. Every single good friend I have had (even for 7 years plus) I still don't trust. Anything that I tell them, I always assume the worse, and that they would not keep it confidential. (Luckily for me that doesn't restrict me much)

From: Wikipedia
Thread hijacking is the act of trying to steer a web forum discussion thread off topic by discussing a subject entirely unrelated to the subject at hand.
While this can be an intentional act of trolling, it is often accidental - caused by other participants in the discussion responding to a throwaway remark, taking the thread off at a tangent to the original subject matter. The results, whilst sometimes humorous or otherwise interesting, often provoke a feeling of resentment from the author of the original post.
