I was reading and commenting on this post that I think Rae Kwon made, and this guy called "Sariat" was bashing the heck out of Rae Kwon. What's with all that guys? It clearly says in the rules that you CAN'T post offensive content on the forums or your prevliages will be taken away. I think you could all learn something from this passage:
A fool does not delight in understanding, but only in revealing his own opinion

I didn't mean to post it twice, I just thought that it might help someone to read this. If I wasn't suppost to post it twice, then by all means delete it.

I didn't see any double post, so I think you're safe; either someone got to the other already or they will. Intentional double posts are frowned upon, however, so in the future it'd help to just keep it to one. Thanks. Lummox JR | |
I meant that the other one got deleted along with another entire thread so I wasn't sure if it was considered double posting if the other one was deleted with a thread.

Normally a repost of something on a deleted thread would be a bad idea, but in this case given the substance of the message I think you did the right thing. The subthread you were talking about I deleted earlier because it had gotten way out of control. Lummox JR | |
Sariat has actually been around awhile, although usually misunderstood.
A fool does not delight in understanding, but only in revealing his own opinion I learned entirely nothing from this. If you do not enjoy telling your opinions, that just shows you have no emotion, self confidence, or you just don't care about much at all. Opinions, whether liked or not, help make the world. | |

Quite frankly, I don't get it, either...
Anger is something that I keep in check at all times... I feel that it's an unnecessary waste of my energy to become angry over most things that others get all worked up over... I reserve the emotion for important things, instead of personal grudges... Even if someone insults me, I generally let it slide (granted, I may give them a few choice words in return, but I let the feeling die away shortly after)... They've done me no real harm, so why make myself feel worse by getting all upset over it? It's useless... So, when I see others getting all angry over what I feel are small petty squabbles, I just don't understand it... Also, that's a good quote... I may be an atheist, but the Bible definitely makes a lot of great points... | |

Notice the "only". :-) When you share your opinions (as you do now), are you doing it so that others have a chance to learn from you and you have a chance to learn from them (as they will no doubt comment on your opinion), or are you doing it just so you can get your proverbial "2 cents" in? That's what the proverb means. There's a difference between having a discussion (or even an argument) and simply spouting opinions. The fact that you've read this thread and claim to have learned nothing from it illustrates the point very well. | |
Almost everyone on BYOND are either constantly angry or are just plan creeps. Not to mention some of the mods are prejudice against most people, but they can say whatever they say. In short, BYOND has gone to hell. Or prehaps it's always been in hell.

If BYOND has gone to hell, it is beacuse of the people like you that "quit" BYOND because you are so frustrated. In a group of people this large, there are bound to be morons.
Almost everyone on BYOND are either constantly angry or are just plan creeps No, it's not even close to "almost everyone" some of the mods are prejudice against most people It's maybe one or two mods, but I doubt any are. And if a mod is prejudice, it's against one or two people, definately not most people. | |
No, it's not even close to "almost everyone" Okay, well roughly 75% of the people on BYOND are creeps. It's maybe one or two mods, but I doubt any are. And if a mod is prejudice, it's against one or two people, definately not most people. Well, there is particularily one moderator that I have "beef" with. | |
BYOND went to hell the moment Manifacae advertised for Dragonball Epic Online; it had nothing to do with the community at the time. =P

That'd be Proverbs 18:2 specifically.
The subthread you mentioned has already been deleted. It was a pointless and very avoidable flamewar.
