You offend me with your lily-livered huggery and mealy-mouthed, "balanced" opinions.

I don't want measured commentary, I want advocacy and energy and heated debate and, good god, _proper insults_.

It was much better when Ulrika was here, I'll tell you that much.

And we even have the audacity to call this a forum...without all those things. How could we? We need more rudeness and inflammatory remarks, darn it! (Ooops...too polite) Um.....dammit!!!!!

Ordinal, do you prefer hard smack instead of hug, because I'd be more than willing to oblige.:D

This seems to me to be one of the main complaints that I hear about these forums from ex-Second Citizenry.

They never seem to object to the fact that we newbies don't know squat, which I find amusing.

So ... STFU, Ordinal!!! You're just trying to impose your will on less-strongly willed nice people, and we're all going to show up at your sim tonight with huge talking rotating blingy signs saying "POLITENESS RULES"!!!

Ordinal, why don't you just go back to spoon-feeding n00bs and leave us in peace?

:D

Away and play with your four-prim tackle box.

It's gratifying to see, mind you, that arguments are still semi-raging on the same subjects that were present when I first dropped a toe into this place - ban lines, ad griefing, freebie selling... a large slice of nostalgia cake, which is always delicious.

I'm looking at all of the people in this thread and wondering to myself, "Why can't a herd of elephants trample these dimwits to death?" Perhaps they could be torn limb from limb by chimpanzees first. You know. Chimpanzees rarely wash their hands. Filthy chimpanzees.

Shame on all of you. If the elephants and chimpanzees don't get you, then I still maintain that you should be shot out of a red hot cannon, through a brick wall, off a cliff into the ocean, eaten by sharks who are then caught by fishermen and fed to the hogs.

Oh the inner conflict...

To agree with you would seem to be undesirably well mannered to the point of pandering and sucking up.

But to say "You're WRONG!" would be to argue, and thus, tacitly politely complying with your stated preference, which, also, could be viewed distastefully considerate.

My only recourse is to feign absolute uncertainty and NEITHER agree nor disagree with you in order to take a stance which you haven't coerced me into by your allegations, be they direct or sarcastic.

Well, Ms Malaprop... all I can say is "I just dunno".

So There. Ha!

This whole turn another person's thread around thing has already been done. And done when there was a moderator to shut it down! Now what? It'll be anarchy! Fires, looting, dogs laying with cats! Madness!!
