I thought it was Nikov that was trolling around here.

I'm still about 80% certain of this.

Nope, not trolling. Occasionally being sarcastic, irritable or less than sane, but I don't deliberately set out to get everyone into a flame war. And yes, my opinions are my opinions, and I really am C++. From where I'm standing, the Communism thread looked like an enormous sarcastic joke because, good God, nobody actually beleives that Marxist crap, right? And I think that's my problem here. I can't tell if people are being sarcastic or serious because the opinions are so far from what I hold that it seems ludicrous that such obviously intelligent people are espousing them. But I suppose its the same to all of you.

Be warned, you're probably going to get banned if you keep it up.

Did someone say... trolling?  :P

But yeah, when I give some thought to it, a lot of people 'round these parts don't seem very... open to ideas.  I wasn't around for VN, and I doubt Finally has gotten anywhere near that bad. You get far less of it here than other forums, and I doubt the day shall come where I need to break out Omnimon.

Yeah, have you noticed how whenever you take a side, nobody else is ever on it? That's why you're seeing this.

Also it's because people aren't very open to ideas (especially political and religious ones) in the real world.

You keep doing this and I keep having trouble discerning just what part of the discussion you're responding to.

But to clarify, if you keep responding in such a vehement, antagonizing way to threads like the Communist thread, you will be banned.

You remind me of the kids that go around miming things and get annoyed when people ask them to spell it out.

Spell it out.

You probably should quit telling people when they will/won't get banned. It's not exactly up to you.


Nikov's point here, as far as I can tell, is that there's hypocrisy in people telling him "you'll get banned if you keep this up" when he's describing his own thought processes, even as people are telling him to be more tolerant of others.

No, what Jack means is that while it's fine to have different opinions, you don't have to be hostile when sharing them. Turn the other cheek, and all that..

Given that insulting other people while acting pretentiously haughty seems to be a good part of those descriptions, it's not a bad prediction all in all.

I do fail to see the point in "warning" him in that way. If what he says offends you report him, and if it doesn't, well, then there is no problem, right?

I can make a rough guess based on other people who got banned and their approaches to the same situations.

But yeah, I do see your point, ChairmanPoo, it strikes me suddenly as rather pointless.

Dude, Nikov's an ass about his way of thinking, but you're reminding me of him with the quote. Just saying.

I am not trying to insult you, but this is a trend I have observed every time you get into an argument.

And comparing me to someone else does not really count as an attempt to prove my beliefs unfounded.
