Trolls gunna troll, can't stop em unless you are a mod, and sometimes even bans don't work. Best thing to do is ignore them until they realize how retarded they're being. I use to be quite the retarded troll myself, some might say I still am, but I like to think I've at least improved. Anyway, just wait for this wolfgang fellow to get banned then make jokes about him. It's the internet way.

[Brentai]

Do you think you're some kind of ninja?  Because I noticed what you did when Thad said he banned you and you immediately posted in one of your own game project topics.

[Classic]

Hold on a sec- We waited until Sora got banned before making jokes about him?

Whoa. calm down there buddy. I know damn good and well everyone knows who I am. I'm not trying to say something like "I've outsmarted all of you with my cunning tricks" I'm just not making a big huge post that says "this is who I am" cause I don't need the attention here. That is to say the attention of a bunch of people in a thread, or quoting a post going "Why aren't you banned", "You are banned", "ban him!" This would be my own fault for my previous actions, and not the fault of the community however, and I know this. I want to become a part of this community still, and to do it the right way, of learning how to not be a troll, and lurking before I post, and not posting stupid things. I wasn't trying to offend anyone with my post, but it seems I have, and for that I apologize. All I meant was that there's no use taking what a troll says to heart, and you should ignore him if you don't have the power to remove him. The troll I am referring to is wolfgang so there's no confusion.

I didn't actually ban him.  I just pointed out who he was and then he changed his name.  Again.

[NexAdruin]

Wait, this isn't a new guy?

[Amuro Ray]

So anyway, I fucking hate it when my internet connection starts randomly disconnecting, and being total shit. That's my pet peeve.

[A²]

It's SoraCross, someone you can ignore and not lose anything of value.

[Lottel]

You know, he's actually been acting better. He's not even whining when people say he's a horrible person every time he posts.
New leaves and all that maybe?

This is like the third time someone has said this and it has turned out that no, he's as shitty as ever.

[Classic]

But don't you like being proven right?

EDIT:
I always want to give people (who haven't directly wronged me) additional chances.

[Defenestration]

As a similarly natured person burdened with far too much good will for everyone Classic, I assure you that it is a character flaw. I've been burned way too many times.

And I'm similarly certain I'll eat these words, but what's the WORST that could happen? He goes off and does something stupid and annoying and is banned again, only to return a few months later. If he's behaving well this go round, let's throw him a bone and see if it sticks.

[Brentai]

Programmers who intentionally obfuscate their shit for job security, when 80% of the people they work with can hardly even speak English.  Unfortunately for both them and me, my reputation for being able to unravel and eventually fix that shit has become kind of legendary.  I'm basically doomed to spend the rest of my career terminating others', and then cleaning up the bloody mess they leave behind.

(Did you notice a sign in front of my house that says "Dead Nerd Storage"?)

[Thad]

...well.  THAT was edifying.

And there are still enough posts left to sustain a multipage thread about phones, splitmerge into the Apple thread, and a definite plurality of posts where we discuss the vagararies of language.

But not right now.  (Though I AM going to splitmerge off the few posts about Netflix.  I was wondering where they went.)

[Lottel]

This makes me see red. I'm not sure if I mentioned it before so I'm going to again.

A while back, I was listening to an lper play a Zelda map for Minecraft. He wasn't very good or interesting, but I need shit to listen to. Well, he came across a Rupee at the end of a video and called it a "Ruby." Now. Easy mistake and all that. He even said in the next video "Hey. I grew up calling them rubies and I'll probably keep calling them that, but I'll try to say Rupee if I remember." THEN he made a video saying "No. You know what? I can pronounce a word however I want. It's my god given right to say things however I want to say them and you're wrong for saying I'm wrong."

Now someone posted a thing about Ra's al Ghul's name. And a girl comes up and says a very similar thing. Only this time she adds that he's a fictional character. Yes. He's fictional, but the language or the letters aren't fictional. Words have rules. I don't care if you are wrong, that happens. I don't care if you know you are wrong but keep saying it the way you are comfortable with. But you can't just say that you aren't wrong because languages are dumb and you can say things however you want and not be wrong.

Which is why you're speaking the exact same English as from 500 years ago.

Or even 100 years ago.

Or even 50 years ago.


Or even 10 years ago.

Or in fact, the language has never changed in any way in the last 5 years.

[François]

In a similar vein, I can't stand it when people come across a new or unusual word, and say "I'm not even gonna try to pronounce that".

WHY THE HELL NOT?

It ain't made out of ideograms, you lazy fucks. The instructions to pronounce it are right there! And even if it's pronounced differently than it's written, at least you gave it a shot. Best case, you luckily stumble on the correct way to say it; worst case, you admit your ignorance, which you already do if you give up before you start anyway. You have nothing to lose!

I didn't read that as Lottel being pissed about language changing, more being pissed at the attitude of knowing a rule and breaking it anyway, out of laziness, ego, or both. Sort of "I'm going to make my own private language and fuck all y'all weeble warble sclup!"

I think what Lottel's mad about is more that people are deliberately mispronouncing things with proper names, just to be bull-headed, when they know they're wrong. Which really has nothing to do with the language evolving, because they are Proper Names.

Although I'm still pronouncing it 'Dark-SEED' rather than 'Dark-SIDE', so I guess that makes me Lottel's enemy too.
