An Eye for an Eye...

Oh for Christ's fucking sake. scythe and Slappy, hate to say it but you're the ones acting like 14-year-olds. Reread your aggressive and downright bizarre posts and then read Mute_Monk's.

Didn't say he was acting like a fourteen-year-old. If you want to complain about reading comprehension, work on your own, first.

Oh, right. You said he /was/ 14. I'm so sorry.

Til now I'd only ever seen atob retreat behind the "You're not reading closely enough; please do better" wall that prevents you from having to respond to what I actually typed.

Correction: 12) flagmyidol dunce continues to selectively nitpick at posts from throughout the thread.

I think there are two sides to this argument: half of us think a paragraph from Wikipedia is stupid and the other half think MuteMonk is a human being with feelings.

I could go through your little list and point out the places where you are wrong, but you'll say that my reading comprehension skills aren't quite there yet and ignore the content of my post. Waste of time.

No, please do. I was trying to be fair when I wrote that list. Legit.

Read my fucking post. I didn't criticize him for his opinion, I criticized his reaction to criticism. The fact that you have completely missed this is astounding. I specifically said that what he said was not a big deal.

Actually, I did miss that. My bad.

Both sides need to calm the fuck down and be civil again.

Dude, don't act like you're somehow above the debates that go on here, 'cuz you're not. You're cursing at Slappy, the administrator guy who fucking runs the place, and you're telling him to "calm the fuck down"? Where do you get off?

Using a curse word in a sentence != cursing at anyone. And gee, so because he's an admin means he's a flawless human being? Wow, I'm so sorry for stepping out of line there.

I like to view this thread as a microcosm of this argument. It's very meta.

You should get a meta.

Apology accepted.

My thoughts exactly.

Otherwise, I am flabbergasted by the amount of attention being paid to this.
