Is it bad if I read some threads just for the funny pictures and dont participate in the arguments?

as for the OP, if I had to choose between getting bullied and not being in debt up to my eyeballs with student loans, or not being bullied, I might have picked the former, although I never experienced bullying, so make of that what you will.

I don't hate dogma.

In fact, he's probably in my top 5 favorite posters. Also, it's not having "delusions of grandeur" if you actually are as awesome as you think you are.

So true Monster...so very true..

I don't think he is awesome. a lot of people hopefully do not think he is awesome, if they do, well than I am clearly on the wrong board. I think I am trying top point out that you cant have everything you want in life by hurting others. its a means to an end, yes, but someday, unless you play your cards just right. Somebody is going to get fed up with you.

I really wish that Dogma would stop all this internet tough guy bisness. for all we know, he could be massively compensating for something with that massively overblown ego of his, or he could be a tiny, snotling sized person sitting at his desk in his parent's basement at the age of forty, getting off on all this fake rep he has built for himself.


or he could just be a jerkoff.

There are pictures of me on this board, and I've met some of the figures of note.

...Or...he could be exactly what he claims to be.. ...not that he's really claimed to be much.

I think you have misread some of the posts here. I can only imagine that you're referring to dogma saying that in some cases the person who hassled others in high school ends up as being successful and isn't stricken down by some avenging angel as punishment for dishing out a wedgie that one time.

I don't think he comes off as a internet tough guy at all. He might just be Chaotic Evil, but to me that's part of his charm.

Seriously though, I think that if some stranger on the internet has gotten you this upset it might be time to take a break from the computer. Besides which, all of this is based off of your statement that it was possible that everyone hates the person that you happen to have "beef" with. I was just pointing out that it isn't the case in this instance.

If persons are making threats or are not complying with Rule #1 they should be reported. On the other hand if they are offering chocolate chip cookies they should be reported...to me!

And a nice reminder that there is an IGNORE button. It can be most helpful.

Well, Dogma himself has insisted he is a bully, I hate bullies. With every fiber of my being, they are Xeno Horrificus in my opinion.

He DOES seem to want to make himself look cool. I joined this forum to talk about 40k and take part in a few RPGs. not get in a flame war. but you see, if we do, you, me or him can't win, its like the crusades. both sides believe they are right. Personally, I do not see why you are defending someone who has proclaimed himself to find it funny to visit pain and misery on others.

I'm still not really seeing where Dogma is coming across as an "internet tough guy"...

Same. You missed the majesty of looking out over the Western Suburbs...dare I say it...like a BOSS!

Put him on IGNORE. Problem solved.

ineptus astartes wrote:

Yes I do, and, in all likelihood, so do you.

Who wants to be uncool?

Did you watch The Hangover? Did you laugh?

No.

I read the first pages of this thread and i can't believe you losers are arguing over who was the biggest loser.

Congrats, we all win.

edit-Now that ive seen the post above. The Hangover was not a funny movie.

He said "former". I think that recognizing a failing in your past and being honest about it is a sign of maturity and personal growth.

ineptus astartes wrote:He DOES seem to want to make himself look cool.

How so?

ineptus astartes wrote:I joined this forum to talk about 40k and take part in a few RPGs.

I'd stay clear of the OT then. It's all drama and hatred. Everyone learns that sooner or later.

ineptus astartes wrote: I do not see why you are defending someone who has proclaimed himself to find it funny to visit pain and misery on others.

Does it look like I'm defending him? I'm just offering a differing viewpoint of someone that I've interacted with over a couple of years.

Also, this is a welcome diversion while I procrastinate doing my homework.

AH HA! You admit that he WAS a bully. but he seems to say he IS a bully. he said 'yes, I get my sick kicks out of tormenting others' or what amounted to that.

As a pasive observer of said thread. Yes there is some internet tough guy-ary here. And you like the bully in Christmas story are his little weasly lacky.

He's also said he deliberately trolls the forum.

You should think about that for a moment.

Yes, I have indeed made (many, many, many) mistakes; it comes with growing up (and being human) .

This realization is why we go to high school.

He said it in this thread. I don't know what you're getting all worked up about. See?

Also.

If only. It's Nutrition, so it's about fiber whatnot. Boo.

Yeah, he did say that.

Using sarcasm.

well pardon me. it is kind of hard to detect sarcasm on the internet

Pepper has fiber, and Steak au Poivre is a thing.

Sorry I just want meat to rain with the Monsters!

I think we have a different interpretation of the events in question. Also, it would appear that I'm not the only one with this view.

I happen to disagree with ineptus' statements, and I'm illustrating why. I'm sorry that this makes you so upset, fire4effekt.

Oh, but it's not about the food that contains fiber so much as LDL cholesterol and fecal bulk and all that jazz. But, now that I'm really thinking about it I suppose I'll go do it now.

I have it on very good authority that he had yellow eyes.
