Quoting out of context ...

Quote from: Vmerc@;479687Had in mind clarity of conversation more than friendliness as my goal.

Perhaps not enough clarity, methinks.

Anyway, I always prefer politeness rather than abuse, so I am with you on most of your points. It won't change anything though.

My aim was to draw clarity from others more capable of producing it.  I consider myself more entertainer and engager than hard thinker and my clearer days have passed.  A Sunday spent talkling with friends is all the ambition I have left.  But to call me polite, I think will make some scoff.

Quote from: Talking_Muffin;479858OP, seriously. Who the f*** actually talks like that? Your 50-cent words only make you seem pretentious. And amen to this place not becoming RPG.net!

Actually my friend, that is how many a person talked in the days of Deadwood, whether with words costing four-bits or simple nickel candy simplicity. Actually the puppet masters behind our words paid all kinds of respect and ho-mage to the takings and patterns of the day deriving much solace and commonality from many known and documented persons of the time and place fore which we forebear to bring forth to your illustrious person.

Maybe tis' a case of a failure in your education from the time you were weaned from your mothers teat and set on a path of ignorance into the world instead of such of intelligence and stalworthiness. Such that failure is in those who made a pretense to teach you in such matters and subjects and not with a failing of your own intellectual comprehension and application of said.

Quote from: MDBrantingham;479805holy shit if you read the posts with Al's voice its hilarious

BINGO.  Go read the pages in Wikipedia on the show "Deadwood" and you'll find how much historical detail was put into the show (with a fair amount of literary license taken for entertainment values). I do believe that in the future, as things magical and technological will capture the eyes and minds of the young their ability to understand and yet even think independently of the most base simplistic of thoughts resulting in a communication of only the most base vulgarities without any meaning or credulity behind them, bringing forth evidence of such lacking in any intellectual prowess what so ever.

((glad you and others got it MDB))

Blah blah blah.

Don't like it here?  Fuck off then.

Do I come to your local pub and start making demands of the place?

Quote from: Vmerc@;479664The forums are a place we all come to voluntarily, spending vast quantities of time in the discussions relating to roleplaying.  By that standard alone we are united as one.

Funny!

You want a snapshop of the hardcore RPG fan sector (because that's what forums are), consider a veiled analogy once volunteered by Paizo's Publisher Erik Mona.

QuoteI managed a sports memorabilia shop in one of the world's biggest shopping malls for about a year before joining the [roleplaying] game industry, and that place was full of rude, opinionated, and just plain old jerky customers.

Quote from: danbuter;479898You and Pseudo should start a thread where it's just you two babbling at each other.

Butters, you are a far more pretentious twerp than I could ever be.

Quote from: Pseudoephedrine;479940Well, I know I'm a million times as humble as thou art.

Awesome.

Bwahahahaha! Wow, you really never look at yourself at all, do you?

You should change your handle to Pseudointellectual.

He seems to be fitting in just fine - once you're used to his Swearingen/McShane stylings.

If you don't understand what the word "pretentious" means, you can always go and look it up in a dictionary.

Quote from: RPGPundit;479846Is this actually about RPGs as such?  Because if not, it probably should be in a different subforum.

RPGpundit

Pundy, anymore I think most of the threads on this site don't belong on the RPG forum.  At times it seems like this place has become more about individual posters' personal feuds with each other, than actual conversation.  

Every thread seems to follow the same pattern.  OP posts thread topic, various people preach their gospel on the topic oblivious to other posts, Troll of the Month wanders in and trolls everyone for a while, then Poster A says something, and because Poster B doesn't like Poster A, finds some niggling semantic point to "nail them" on, and the two wave their pricks at one another for 30 pages until the thread either dies, or Posters' C and D find some new feud to dominate the conversation with.

I think the OP has become confused.  He has mistaken this board for a site about RPGs, when in reality, he's a troll trying to troll a site about being a troll.

What's Vmerc on, and where can I score some of it.

Quote from: Cranewings;479942Awesome.

Not at all. I neither pretend to know more or less than I do.
