Report me.
I can't be allowed the opportunity to go back. Clearly I can not be trusted with the capacity to post on the same forum as THOSE people. I'm too easily baited and too single-minded to let things go. I can't come up with any other way. Please, drop a forum ban on me before I can make myself look like even more of an idiot.
Edit; mother@#$@er! Pound just completly misunderstood one of my posts. Someone call him out, please?

Just pick one. I'll even log in and launch into a pointless tirade if you want.
Probably works better if you report something that's already reported though.
And the point where Pound asked why people would need proff someone's grandparent's were dead; I felt it was clear that is not what I wanted proof of. I wanted Diddy to provide some evidence that he didn't actually need anything south of New York. While a stupid measure, I really just want to prove that their pride is to great for them to get the respect they seem to recieve. I can't stand watching jerks keep getting treated like not only were they not jerks, but that they're heroes.
Damnit! This must have been what it was like to watch Hitler in action. Well worded with a crowd of adoring fans, blaming others for all the problems without ever presenting solutions, and with an overwhelming ego. Why doesn't anyone else stand up?
I'm sorry, I've never been good at letting go.

www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs+28&version=NIVMayhap that chapter and the next will help you feel better. As it stands, the solution is pretty simple. Leave 'em be. They've been doing that routine long before you came along. And believe it or not, Vesp used to be a lot worse. Neither you, I, or anyone else can do anything about it. It's simply the way MG's been for the last couple years. And the sheep that think they're such cool people on the forums are probably not the sort you want to please. Plenty of decent people dislike them. In either case, it's better (more effective, and more conducive to your happiness) to try and get along with or ignore them, rather than trying to oppose them. 'Cause they'll feign apathy or find a crack in your defense that they can assail without relenting, no matter how utterly stupid it may seem for them to hound it. Most of all, trying to beat them at their own game is CERTAINLY not going to work. At the end of the day, they're not worth getting worked up over. The forum goers are only a small part of the population, and I'll bet you 90% if not more of MG have never encountered or been effected by those problem children ingame or in RP. In just a matter of years, WoW will probably be history and they'll have nothing to show for it. You'll never have to deal with them again, and anything they did to you will lose its relevance. I've gotten riled up at them and others in the past, but it never did me a bit of good. Just work on improving your own style, and leave the rest to people who care what they say. Learn to ignore them, and REALLY ignore them. Don't put them on ignore, then talk about 'em as if they weren't there.

I think I see a little better now. Good chapters by the way, one of those verses made it to my status.
It is not my place to pass judgement on him. If he is indeed the menace I believe him to be than his fate will be meted out without my hand.
I just wish my laptop would stay on long enough for me to meet that other 90%. Thanks again.

I'll be a hundred percent honest right now, Laud. The forums? They're complete shit, and not even worth wasting time on. The only reason I even go there anymore is because I enjoy the very rare RP post, check out guild listings, and other roleplay-related things. Getting involved in political debates, social debates, or any debates at all, in fact, is utterly pointless on there.
The forum troll community sucks, plain and simple. Apparently it's cool to make yourself out to be a complete and utter douchebag over the internet. Those are the sort of people that we as Christians shouldn't want to go out of our way to prove wrong in the first place. Let them be. Let them do what they want to do. Their negativity and mean actions toward others will be their own problems to deal with in the end. And while I know that you've said you have a hard time letting things go, if you let them get a rise out of you, you'll have to deal with the very same. Far better if you don't even bother with the likes of them, because it's easy to notice that bad behaviors rub off on such a place. If they didn't, it certainly would not be "cool" to treat everyone around them with contempt.
My advice, seriously? Stay off the forums completely for a little while if you can't trust yourself to not take their bait. I'm not saying don't say your piece, but do realize that everything you type is a reflection of you as a -person-. By stooping to their level to "try and catch them at doing this or that wrong, or saying this or that the wrong way", you make yourself out to be no better than them in the end. If you find that you can't stay off the forums, try instead to stay out of those hateful, mean threads and spend your time instead trying to bump and build up the threads that matter: the roleplay ones.
Anyways, really early in the morning. I hope this makes sense.
