What is with that, anyway? Does the guy get paid for the number of places he posts that crap?

I think that is what you get when you pay somebody for "search engine optimization". More links to your site = higher search engine relevance, or something like that...

He who last laughs last wins

I’ve only ignored two people (who are similar enough I think it might be one) for asking questions and then belligerently ignoring advice when given. I still end up reading some of his threads because his questions often spark decent discussions.

There are some posters who’s opinion I respect for the type of meta they play in. The problem is their attitude that their way to play is the only way 40k is played. Once it sunk in to my head that while we use the same ruleset, we aren’t playing the same game, their posts become much easier to read, and grate on me less. It still bothers me when they answer new player’s questions with the assumption that they are playing in their meta (which might not be the case).

That and filtering good advice out of cynicism, negativity, a/o zealousness.

But I’m sure they roll their eyes when I wander into a thread and give casual, fluff based, touchy-feely advice.

Oh! I used to think Peregrine was a total warp spawn, but we actually agree on some things (very, very few things) and I've grown to not loath him utterly over the... has it been years now? Bloody hell.

The only person I really don't get along with is someone who has very a strong opinion, generally seems to belittle others, and has a link in his sig about how people who don't play with forgeworld are using a house rule. I too think he is total Warp Spawn

In all the posts I've seen of his, I have yet to agree with a single one. He really gets my goat, and one of these days I hope to eventually meet up with him either in a video game or in 40k game IRL and squash is ego right down the drain.

I've never really used the ignore tool, and I don't ever intend to. I generally like everyone else who i have had major contact with, and the Draconiclord is probably my best buddy on here that I don't already know IRL. (Being that he's the only one who posts regularly on my painting blog in my sig.)

Marrowick, Orgsbane, Shadow Angel, and to a lesser extent Some_call_me_tim? are all people I know and like

I don't always agree with Peregrine, but I find his arguments to consistently have a solid basis, and his post on why "there is no such thing as a friendzone" was one of the more insightful things I've read on these fora.

I also find Sebster and Dogma also build arguments well but that's not really a good analogy because I much more frequently agree with them, and so is offtopic, strictly speaking.

Oh. I stand corrected, I guess they don't know, after all. But yeah, I think Goliath has the crux of it. Also at some point I think you just so frustrated with how poor the signal to noise ratio is with some posters, you hope that by telling them yet another person has given up on you, perhaps you might reconsider the value of consistently posting single line posts, usually 10 words or less, whose sole purpose is to remind everyone how much cooler you are then everyone else present. "The coolest kid on a warhammer forum"; yeah, there's a trophy to display with pride.

For some reason I feel like this is aimed at me...

Weird... Was gonna say fixed your quote wall for you... but before i typed this, I hit preview, and it looked as it should, yet on the actual forum wall, it looked off.

I don't use the ignore function. If I don't like something I either just let it go or respond, but I don't see the point in ignoring others. The only time I get really annoyed is when someone creates an incendiary post and then never posts again in the thread.

"Poop and swoop"!

I have one user on my ignore list. Not because he's rude or anything, but because he ends every post with "And stuff." Bugs me to death.

Wear it like a badge of honor if so, is my advice. There was some envious butthurt in there, I think.

If you could have done that in ten words of less it would have been a lot better. As it is you just seem a little butthurt yourself.

I barely know you, and since Marrowick and shadow angel are my brothers that puts you on a lesser extent.

Oh yeah, that's the worst. Ellipses as spacers? I mean, not quite ignore worthy but yeah, a terrible habit.

Leave....my....habit...alone.....

I was having quite the go around with LordofHats the other day on the thread about the lap dancing teacher, and things were getting fairly heated.
With one picture, he had me busting my ass laughing, then Kanluwen made a wry one line comment.

Hard to be pissed at guys with that kind of humor.

I know I was lurking for most of it, but that was a fun thread

I doubt I've registered on anyone's radar to a massive extent. There was a tiff between Ashiraya and myself a while back, but we're cool now.

I will shamelessly admit that Kronk is like the uncle I wish I had. There are a fair few users that I think are smart/ insightful/ generally worth listening to, but I never question a word Kronk says. I know better

Usually the only threads where any posters find themselves death glaring one another (clearly waiting for their mutant eye beam powers to awaken from pure rage) are threads about politics/serious business. Any other thread, I genuinely enjoy Seaward, Whembly, Dreadclaw, Frazzled, and all the other posters I'm typically arguing with.

If I got super PO'd about every person I disagreed with in politics, damn I'd be PO'd at everyone Where's the fun in that? Leave the rage in the politics threads and enjoy the fun otherwise

I think I've been called out twice already in this thread. I don't know if that's good or bad :(

Either your awesome enough that people mention you, or you've managed to make them hate you enough that they mention you.

Sir Stalin informs me both things are good

On a completely unrelated note, I just realized what the image in your avatar is. I imagine that's standard issue for Canadian armed forces?

I, in no way shape or form indicated I am in the Canadian military Granted I got my Canadian Jump Wings in '92 before they disbanded and have served along side of them at Kandahar and watch then play cement hockey...Tim Horton....well..you know. I retired US Army


Edit

Though some think retirement pay after 20 years is welfare
