Star Wars Negativity and Simplicity.

Post by Engineer_00 »

I've noticed in my first few days here, that EVERY thread where someone (usually a Trekkie) makes an honest mistake assessing a situation, a slight mathematical error, or the persons' views differ from a Star Wars fan, they are berated and completely alienated by you violent, ignorant, arrogant people. Perhaps you should consider revising your board rules?

P.S. I've also seen some people being insulted for spelling errors. It's the thought that counts.

One usually does not manage to convince very many people to change when a hostile and agressive attitude is used and insults are tossed about.

Hope you you like the heat because its going to get hot in here.

Well, we've had a lot of idiot trekkies coming in in the last few days, and that followed right on the heels of the counterattack from CW, so we tend to have a short fuse when dealing with stupid newbies. Of course, newbies that have brains and actually read the site and who therefore don't bring up stupid arguments about how ST could get technology from the empire or somesuch won't get flamed, but nowdays instead of "three strikes, you're out" you only get one. Essentially, this board is under undeclared martial law. I don't think it's entirely fair either, but I can see why they might be a bit quick-tempered, esp. since (as I said earlier) most of the n00bs we've had recently have been idiots.

With any luck this will just be a temporary phase.

Anyway, remember to debate rationally, and have a nice day. 8)
data_link has resigned from the board after proving himself to be a relentless strawman-using asshole in this thread and being too much of a pussy to deal with the inevitable flames. Buh-bye.

Engineer_00:Its the way of things in these parts, if you want polite debate it would be best to go somewhere else.

On related issue today I was called a liar for saying the unknown regions hadn't been explored by the empire, which was a new highlight here :roll: .

By the way, idiot, here's your first post

Mike is an Engineer. He knows physics like the back of his hand. It's time to lay down and let him have the win. Unless you have hard numbers, or conclusive evidence for an argument, save it.
Quite obviously, your intention in this forum is nothing less that whine, nitpick and troll.

If you're an engineer, you're a disgrace to the profession. But I'm guessing you're only a 12 year's old wannabe.

So that it's OK to insult others as "violent, ignorant, arrogant people" without bothering to provide examples or explanations, but it's not OK to debate in an aggressive fashion? Fuck off.

See, this is precisely what I mean. "fuck you, bitch", and "bullshit". All you want to do is flame people out of their arguments, not debate. You people are pretty distasteful and disgraceful. I've wasted my time on this board. Grow up, deal with arguments rationally and maturely.

P.S. I did not once mention I was actually an Engineer. And I'm not a 12 year-old.

If you have an argument, and it's not stupid, you won't be flamed. You have called us

a- violent: erm ... what? I don't know what boards you frequent, but I don't think violence is part of the gig.

b- ignorant: the only ignorant people on this board are the pathetic newbs who come here with age-old refuted arguments without even checking if they've been refuted.

c- arrogant: if anyone is arrogant it is you, presuming to float down from the heavens and bring your mana to the unwashed masses.

IF YOU DON'T FUCKING APPROVE OF THE RULES, FUCK OFF AND DON'T BOTHER REGISTERING:

GET YOUR FILL OF SCI-FI, SCIENCE AND MOCKERY OF STUPID PEOPLE

Those are the board rules. Do fuck off now if you have nothing to add. Or heaven forbid you could propose a devastating argument for why Trek would beat Wars?

Oh god damn, who left the back door open again? Thrawn, was it you? What about you Wong? Vympel, I know your sorry ass must have been raised in a barn, ain't no way someone could be that god damned ugly without some form of exposure to horses. You see what happens when you don't lock the doors kids. Fucktards wander in, pick up some pretty little words and throw them about. Then someone has to come clean up the fucking mess. Let this be a lesson to you. Now get me a broom so I can shew this fucktard off. :twisted:

Hmm...let's see how this works:

1. Descend out of nowhere into a forum and proclaim everyone on the board is a spastic flame warrior who'll ass rape the first tender-hearted newbie who uses "it's" as a possessive. Be sure to insult them and call them arrogant tyrants, or the like.

2. Get flamed by, among other people, the board owner and one of the moderators, who don't take well to being called arrogant tyrants.

3. Proclaim that the board denziens have proven your very point by getting angry and flaming you for your accusations. Ignore those who politely disagreed with you, or even agreed with some of your points.

Nifty trick. I'd use it myself were I also an antisocial hatfucker.

Engineer...

SHUT THE FUCK UP AND FUCK THE FUCK OFF!

The first thing you do is waltz in and start finger-pointing, DARING to call respected debaters "violent", "ignorant" and "arrogant".

Why don't you apply your perverted worldview to yourself?

Are you violent? Yes. You insult us. Insults ARE a form of verbal violence.
And we haven't even flamed you before. That is going to change.

Are you ignorant? Yes. You are a newbie, and you PRESUME to think you know ANYTHING about us.

Are you arrogant? HELL FUCKING YES! You prance on in with your hoity-toity sermons, expecting us to be awed by its sublime emssage. Well fuck you and all of yours, if you can't stand the heat, get out of the fucking kitchen.

P.S: Some like it hot. I hope you do.

One part lie two parts biased outlook= one dumbass.

1. Calcs are made a certain way and shown beyond a shadow of a doubt from a variety of sources. Unless you wish to call Wong and Saxton morons...you better have a heap of proof why and how you came up this assumption.

2. They have an entire website to peruse first...if they wish to ignore this...they better be able to swallow their foot when someone points out where on the website this proof is from.
P.S. I've also seen some people being insulted for spelling errors. It's the thought that counts.
Bean does it constantly and for fun...so just shut the fuck up because yes some do, others don't but now you're trying to find a reason.

As for second post...I argue with friends I spew profanity...we are all college grads so what if we use profanity does this somehow invalidate the argument.

All you're doing is trying to appear moral and just because your argument is worth shit.

Hahahaha!!! *Rolls around on the floor, being the apparent "piece of shit" that he is* Heheh, *Wipes a tear from his eye* Oh, goodness. Thank you. That was good for a laugh. I'll now stop with the frantic insults. I was being quite arrogant with everyone. I apologise. I'm just wondering why is every so quick to lose their patience here? I mean, is anyone at SD.net actually capable of being civilised when someone who's new, or sort of simple? Or is it commonplace to flame people into the another universe?

I was never flamed at SD.net. Not once. No by people who count, anyway (I recall being flamed by some racists, pedophiles and creationists).

Trolls and idiots who insist on the spam and lies get flamed and that's why you were flamed. It's actually very simple.

PS: True, you never said you were an engineer. BUT YOUR FUCKING USERNAME is engineer. Pretty arrogant of you.

Guys, guys, guys. We have jumped to conclusions and flamed a new member incorrectly. Yes, Engineer_00 is not ignorant. No. Merely illiterate. This fucktard has not been able to read and comprehend a single fucking post in this thread. We explained why fucktard. Now, put on your oven mitts, because no one is flame retardant.

Yeah, but if his username was pig fucker we'd see him coming a mile off :)

Insults beget insults.....
Violent?
Ignorant??
Arrogant???

Kick a hornets nest and you will get stung.

Debaters on these forums can be agressive, even belligerent sometimes, but that's the way these forums are run, and the majority of people like it this way.
Which means engineer 00, you're you're in the minority here... A freak, an anomaly.
