While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Jackalope;224761Actually dumbass, I was pointing out that there isn't any kind of communication going on between y'all, which makes your efforts to present yourself as a unified front painfully transparent.

You act like you're all disagreeing with me, when you are in fact also disagreeing with each other.

As I said, you're all idiots.
There's no conspiracy here.  I'm not best buddies with walkerp, thanatos, stormbringer or anyone else.  We're not having secret private message conversations, planning the ways to agree with one another and discredit you.

We're each acting independently.  The only reason I think you're a douchebag is because of your behavior.  I'd assume the same is true of anyone else.  I'd also assume it's why women don't like you.

There isn't communication between myself and others because I'm uninterested in acting as a unified front. I don't know about others, but I suspect its the same way. There's a huge diversity of opinion on this forum, and if there are a lot of posts about how you're a douche, you might as well take it at face value.

Your persecution complex is pretty amusing, though.

Maybe sometimes I'm passive-aggressive. All I meant, though, is that trolling you is good times. But it's kind of like kicking an 8 year old. Maybe he's being a shit, but I'm probably just making an irritating problem worse.

So,....to sum up...

 Most people (except for one poster) on here think including women players in their game is generally speaking a good idea then?

Also, a bunch of us thought the pronoun usage sounded kind of awkward , while others of us felt that its not that big a deal - right?



 Just checking.

Quote from: Ian Absentia;224764Please.  I was insinuating that you want to beat up women, not that you've ever had the nerve to follow through with your fantasies.

It boggles the mind.  What could possibly compel you to take such an incredibly cheap and nasty shot like that?

QuoteThat said, yes, I believe that anyone who bases their opinion of how women behave on "America's Next Top Model" wants to beat up women.  And that includes women who watch the show.

Okaaaaay.  Good for you.  I didn't base my opinion on how women behave on "America's Next Top Model."  So that's kind of a non-sequitor.  The worst part of arguing with idiots is trying to figure out what the fuck you all are babbling about.

For example, all of you are tripping over yourself to assert what free thinkers you are, and how you are all acting independent of each other.  But when one of you speaks for you all, where is the protest?   And if you are each truly a man unto himself, then why are all speaking for each other when it suits you?

Oh that's right, because you're a pack of yapping idiots.

So, have you stopped beating women, then?

Quite probably the same petty urge that led you to state that the reason there aren't more women posting here is because there aren't any moderators to manipulate.

So, yes or no: Have you stopped beating women?

!i!

Size 8 is a plus size, in the fashion world.  That is a world dominated by evil vampires and marketers who hate women (like you, it seems, Jackalope).  In the real world, a size 8 is pretty average, if not below average.  Dress sizes are just weird, anyways.

I'm going 0 for 1 in the peacemaking department, but I'll try again.  Gang, this is quite a dogpile right now and, though he keeps provoking the situation, I think we'd probably do best to give him a break and let this thread fizzle out.  It's not making anyone look good.

Wankerp, you are only posting that in an attempt to improve your image on this forum. Get a life.


Jackalope was a douchebag when he came to this forum and nothing has changed.

Quote from: Ian Absentia;224801But I thought he was here for exactly this sort of shit.

It's true.  I love watching insane flamewars.  But they don't happen often enough, so I enjoy fanning the hell out of them. I mean fuck, it's the internet.  Who cares?  It's more fun than watching gleichman wank about the ebul immigrants, and the posts in the rpg forum are boring me at the moment, nothing interesting to talk about.

This one is getting boring though.  Once people start accusing you of wanting to beat women because you think most of the few dozen women gamers you've interacted with sucked compared to the general population, then it's pretty much gotten as absurd as it's going to get.

And Ian, the real question is: Have you stopped reading without comprehension yet?

Because man, that needs to end sometime.

Yeah, well, like I already said, I didn't know what I was talking about and I was way off.  I just read something about this chick Whitney Thompson who was a size 8 and a plus size model, and people were upset that she was being called that.  So when she-wolf said she was a size 6-8, I vaguely recalled that shit I read, and spouted it off.

I probably should have found out who whitney thompson was first, because as it turns out, she's pretty hot.  Definitely not what I think of when I hear the words "plus size", which is like...Queen Latifah.

But hell, it's not like I'm really trying very hard here.  I'm sure as hell not going to do research.  Bleh.

Aw man - don't even go blasting on Queen Latifah - she's cool.

Not only that, if she plays D&D, I bet she plays it better than you do.
