A heartfelt and most warming apology there.....
I must have missed you acting like a D**k, although maybe it wasn't so bad. We've all acted like douchebags once or twice, don't feel so bad dude.
And congrats on your newly acquired mini's!

It wasn't so much that he was acting poorly. Looking through his posting history, it appears that this may be his first time on a forum, and so he blundered about in a way that rattled the nerves of some here.
And, of course, like sharks to blood, so did the other posters come into the feeding frenzy.

Yup, having read through warhammerkings posts, it seems like you just need too chill out a little and don't take things too seriously. You may have a coronary
The best thing about the Internet? You can leave and cool down for a few hours...go paint something or read. Play a little PS3 (or whatever).
And welcome to Dakka!

I can totally understand why you got angry. Just try not to rise to the people posting grouchy responses or flamebaiting you next time.
It helps to have a thick skin on forums. While dakka is nothing like 4chan or youtube for example, some people will still act like asses, so you need to learn to ignore it.
As to your DIY fluff you posted in dakka fiction: I know it's cool to create your own fluff, but if you put it on these boards people will scrutinise it seriously and poke holes in it. I'd only do it if you can take the criticism. Same goes if you post any of your painted minis in the P&M section.

No worries, I missed the initial post that caused all this, which is weird cause normally one of the first people to jump on a custom space marine chapter thread. Live and learn. There are some great resources around the forum here and on other forums for fluff and what-not, particularly Bolter and Chainsword for pure space marines.

One more point of advice to our new Friend, the OP:
Try to remember proper grammar, punctuation, sentence-structure and spelling. Researchers asked over9000 people what grinds their gears, and results are that 10 out of 7 people are more likely to have a small threshold for bs, bad fluff, bad writing and newbs, if their writing is bad.
Other than that, I believe that you deserved everything you got: The Catharsis you just experienced will help you deal with criticism better in the future, be more relaxed and teach you how to act on the internet.
.
Welcome.

But I know I want to reach out with something other than these prehensile paws! And feel the wind of a supernova flowing over me! And I can know much more! I can experience so much more. But I'm trapped in this absurd body! |

That is a real classy move what you did. Welcome to dakka and here are 3 tips on how to maximize your enjoyment on these forums and online in general:
1) be excellent to eachother
2) dont take any of this seriously
3) if you post something out of rage, wait 1 hour and then see if you want to post

Ah, dammit, missed the over9000 reference. I'm the fail.

Good on you for apologising and not being a dick.
Doesn't help that tempers tend to get a bit high about our toy soldiers, on here and elsewhere.
It's a game, so don't let it get to you

At Games Workshop, we believe that how you behave does matter. We believe this so strongly that we have written it down in the Games Workshop Book. There is a section in the book where we talk about the values we expect all staff to demonstrate in their working lives. These values are Lawyers, Guns and Money. |
