Plus I fething love Happy Tree Friends. Hasn't been a more manlier cartoon since Johnny Quest.

I hate bronies because they are an extremely obnoxious fandom, giving the Final Fantasy kids a run for their money. -Everything- has to be ponyifed. Though such a word does not exist in the English vocabulary. They also cry a -lot- Make fun of them and they will get so butthurt they drown you in their tears.-Which makes them great to troll, believe me. Yes, you lot are too vocal for me. I'm fething tired of having to see neon color borderline furry fanservice every fething where I go on this holy and sacred internet.

Flag this comment as you will. I'm offering an opinion, like mlp all you want. If you were trolling me for liking Heavy Metal, the worse i'd do is tell you to feth off, but see, that would be the end of it! I wouldn't go about questiong the other persons manhood just because I'm butthurt somebody doesn't like Rainbow Dash. For feths sake, I even know their names now.

And on that note. I'm a bearded man who butchers the corpses of cows and pigs for a living. How -dare- you question my manliness!

I hope this thread gets locked. Because of how OT it has ran off the rails.

I think that your just running into the wrong types of bronies. Also, i never questioned your manliness, I asked if you hated bronies because you found it "Gay" or thought it wasn't something that was "for men." Really, all the bronies i meet on the internet generally keep the pony stuff on their own threads, with the most that they do outside are avatars, the occasional quote and maybe a pic. The main reason that I see for why folks hate bronys is that when you say you don't like the show, or make some joke about them being the "cancer of the internet" and the bronies "overreacted" get "butthurt" or "jump down your throat." But to put this in perspective, bronies have to deal with hate all the time. We originally came from 4chan, and got spammed and flamed and trolled out. And in some places, bronies can get hate for having even just a pony avatar, or are quarentined to a single section of the forum, and catch hate in almost every place we go. Even on our own forums, we get people who make an account just to mock and flame and troll. So, now you might understand why we can get a little defensive, or even very defensive sometimes when people open up a jar of hate, or even just throw out some sort of "bronies suck" comment. It gets hard to tell who's just joking and who's hating and persecuting.

Indeed. There was too much aggression and not enough loving and tolerating.

That's not true at all. I love and tolerate everybody. Especially mouth breathers who think that swords and spears are just as good as firearms. I love and tolerate them so fething much. Because they need it.

It looks from your posting you have a love of misinterpretation I feel the rage not the love!
I bet you believe in silly things like "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you"
I will admit though I'm not terribly surprised how far this train has derailed via a dropping of what I'm now calling "the 'B' Bomb"

Ive found this book called 'How Wars are Won', by Bevin Alexander, to be huge in understanding how to win at war. The way he breaks down things like Stonewall Jackson's Shenendoah campaign are huge.

As far as psychological gaming, I have found reading theory and what not to be extremely unhelpful. Often times it gives someone a false sense of security, having read a book is a lot less helpful when trying to win someone over socially than actual practice.

People never said that swords were superior to or just as good as firearms. They said that tactics and strategies developed during the times before firearms are still applicable today. This is backed up by the fact that military commanders still study the tactics and strategies of ancient generals like Hannibal as part of their training. Strategies like cutting off supply lines, harassment and surgical strikes using small skirmishing forces and outmanoeuvring your opponent to force them to fight on your own terms at a place of your choosing are still just as effective today as they were when they were first developed.

Some of these cannot be incorporated into a one off game of 40k, where there are no supply lines and the board is set up by both players so there isn't any real advantage. Some of them can, such as harassing your opponent with a small unit or forcing them to move into a position that allows you to strike at their weaker elements from an unexpected position.

Swords and spears don't run out of ammo.

Not going to get sucked back into this. I love and tolerate you too much

And I'm the queen of france

I found a book called "From the Jaws of Victory," analyzing how historic battles were being won until the people in charge started going full on slow. Really good read, and it opened my eyes to the fact that for much of history wars were decided by high morale more than skilled warriors.
