SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. 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.

Don't be a dick at a con.

After reading through all of this, my idea for a thread called - (Try) Not to be a dick online, seems pretty redundant.(The year is 2006, this is the rpgsite, and we're all here to draw blood)

Quote from: Sosthenespork - pig - swine?
Which is odd because I seem to recall a lot of very nasty things being said about swine here.  

It would seem his reading comprehension is about as good as his writing.

That depends, which group is your metaphor calling mindless and unmoving plants, the RPGSite folks or Luke?

Quote from: lukeSettem,
Do I detect some sarcasm? Whatever.

Anyway, this is my last word on the subject: When I saw you knuckleheads making sweeping assumptions and passing judgements on a person and a game based on a rather innocuous internet post, I decided that you all deserved to get as good as you were giving.

Yeah, my original post may have been a little arrogant. Yeah, it may even be wrong. Who cares? And does that give license to trash talk for 140 posts? Apparently it does. Well hell, it is the internet after all. So why not jump into the fray?

And lo and behold, the trash talkers protest mightly when someone steps in and throws a couple of punches. And lo and behold the trash talkers take the moral high ground! How dare he sling slanderous insults! How dare he exaggerate to make a point! He's intellectually dishonest, the swine!

Though some people did try to preach reason (which is insane, I know), who among you said, "You know what, this stuff is wrong and while I disagree with his ideas, attacking him personally is not the direction to take." Very few indeed.

Until you pork-loving morons grow up and grow a pair, I will continue to very bluntly tell you what I think of your behavior. I will continue shove your behavior back in your internet face.

Please, by all means, disagree with me. I don't care if you like my game or not. And I certainly don't care if you like me personally. There's room for all of us. Even here on therpgsite. But do not expect me to sit by while personal attacks are leveled. I'll show you personal attacks and I'll have loads more fun doing it.

Gentlemen, it's been grand. I look foward to doing it again soon.

Yours in swine,
-Luke
And ya still come across as a crybaby.

See, the correct way to write that post is:

QuoteI hate you guys!

I'm leaving!

Get fucked.

And I'm not going to read this thread ever again! Ever!

So, until next time, enjoy.
I am becoming more and more hollow, and am not sure how much of the man I was remains.
