why, why, WHY!?!?

[Bondo]

Bucc, a few tips if you want people to fully read your posts.

Make them consise.  You follow in Grifter's way of making your posts so long as to be quite watered down which is conducive to skimming.  Secondly, if you link something, summarize it for me so I don't have to go unless I feel like it.  Like hell I'm going to go read a 3000 word article just because you link it.  I don't have all the time in the world to read (or for that matter research) for this forum.  I don't invest that much time in something as insignificant as a forum debate.  I'd rather save the time to do research for my reasearch paper due in my Geography class.

Now I'm not insulting your posting, I'm just saying that if you expect others to read it, you owe it to them to communicate in a way that motivates them to read it fully.

And if you are going to debate it, then you owe me the common respect to read it.  You'll notice that I even went to your links.

My comments aren't even that long.  The only reason they take more then one post is that I'm answering all of yours and Zaitsev's, with quotes.

BTW, I just read your post on RoA to OoA Rob.  And you say I'm mean.  You do the exact same stuff.  I just don't hold it against you.  I'm still not, I'm holding you being a hypocrite against you (for telling me I'm mean and insulting, then mocking in much the exact same way)  You know what I'm talking about, that little "I didn't know you had copyrighted "of All".  What a way to start a conversation.

[Bondo]

My links consisted of graphs...not long articles...and I did summarize them so that going wouldn't really be necessary.  As for asking if he had it copyrighted, I just was curious if he had.  Bad thing about forums I suppose, you can't decipher the attitude in which the phrase was said.

Well, it's nice to see some nice debates on the forum but it would be a LOT better to read without the personal attacks. Let the reader make their own decisions... I was very proud of the last post made by Bondo and Bucc (and delightfully suprised at the total lack of insults)... They were proper and held in their obvious dislike for eachother, just arguing their point. If this happenned more often (arguing without mud slinging)... Well, debates would be that much better...

Shut up Ben you whore

I'm mad at you...but I can't stay mad at you.

[EUR_Zaitsev]

I agree,

         Bucc ya should make your post shorter, often in our flame wars I skim over thus I may be missing information which you later go back and tell me to read. Perhaps this explains why I dont always fully back up my posts is because I dont like haveing very long posts. Send different points at different times because I like when I check the forums having something to rebuttle to in a limited amount of time eheheheh anyway I may not agree with your points and you certainly not with mine but regardless we shouldnt be insulting each other like petty little children.... wait.....toddlers

[|MP|Buccaneer]

Zaitsev and Bondo, you are the pot calling the kettle black with those comments.  In my longest posts, I'm rebutting ALL the points that you bring up.  There must have been 14 things in your last post that I rebutted Zaitsev.

Didn't both of you berate me when I once posted I didn't have enough time to rebutt one of you points??

It's not lack of time, it's disrespect.  If the two of you can't be bothered to actually read, and not skim, then you shouldn't bother posting.  After all, what does it take, 60 seconds to read a two part post?  That admitted behavior on your part qualifies as ignorant, selfish and disrespectful.  Please, chose to either refrain from posting or showing the same respect you want, and reading, not skimming.

if u guys dont like reading long posts, then make a rule for this forum that says if u post something with more than 3 lines u will get banned from this forum. stop beeing lazy and read it.

[Bondo]

3 lines?

Bucc regularly makes two full posts.  I have never once had to use more than one post and for that matter, I've probably never come close really.

Oh, and I just showed you why I'm not a pot...I'm china calling the kettle black.

[|MP|Buccaneer]

Nope, you didn't show it at all.  If you had noticed, I stated that the only posts that go that long are when I'm quoting and rebutting all your points.  It's long because I'm including your text that I'm thrashing.

[jn.loudnotes]

I'll have to agree with Ben there, that was fairly satisfying.

And thanks Bucc.  Really all I ask is that you and anybody else just ignore some of the stupidity in here.  I know I try to. . .

Omg ben look... you just jinxed it. Once again its sounding more and more like those damn political ads. Why cant we just forget our differences and live in harmony. *hugs a tree*

[(SiX)Ben]

Ah.... **Kisses The tree*

Ah yes, looks peaceful, but
***Hugs the tree










It'll turn into:
***gets burned as the tree starts to get burned from all the flame wars.
