"Sadly, we may be the world's only current stupidity experts," said Shannon Brown, producer of Stupidity and an executive at Trailervision. "There is very little true research on the important subject of stupidity, and the only self-proclaimed expert, James Welles, a Florida-based author, was recently arrested on serious charges for doing something extremely stupid."

Midnyte_Ragebringer · February 12, 2003, 5:54 pm

Bush doesn't speak well. He messes up a lot. That isn't going to change. I'm okay with that. It's about feeling inside, that I believe that he believes what he is saying. When I watching Clinton speak, for example, I felt like I was standing in a car lot listening to a salesman feed me a line of crap.

I've said it before and yes it comes from Rush Limbaugh, symbolism over substance is what the masses seem to desire. It's too bad.

noel · Post by **noel** » February 12, 2003, 6:08 pm

I take offense at being called mean. I also don't understand this statement:

Oh ok, I see. Since you and Arnauil know me sooo well, I guess you both feel qualified to make judgements on me like that.

Where do I claim to know you so well, and what judgements about you am I making?

I simply stated that the title of this thread was laughable. Given that the original title was, "My Sentiments exactly..." and the revised title is, "My Sentiments exactly... somewhat" I think my statement is spot on.

How can they be your exact sentiments, but only somewhat? That makes no sense.

Since I was falsely accused of judging you, I'll go ahead and make a judgement, so you can be accurate. I think you saw the link, read the headline, and in your rabid-Bush-hating-rush to post something that said 'George Bush is a moron', you forgot to... y'know read the article. When you were called on it, you edited the title to something that makes zero sense.

There you go, I judged you. I hope that was satisfying.

You are also a romantic and consider yourself an excellent matchmaker, so you tend to be a bit nosy. But everyone still considers you the sweetest person they know

I am gayer just for having taken that test.

I fail to see how Acies post should merit "your judgement". He may be guilty of not reading the whole article or rushing to post something, but I guarantee you he is not alone. Acies has always been a gentleman and a rather intelligent individual. Their are many others who post here that deserve your disdain, Acies is not one of them.

Your judgements of others posting abilities or knowledge of VV culture is getting a little tiresome. Derailing of threads that you don't like with PIE is lame.

Try taking a different look at what people are saying, give them a little latitude to make mistakes.

And while your on your soap box, remove the log from your eye, before you worry about the splinter in someone else's.

For you to post the rickshaw material you do, and then cast your line in the water with crap like above is amazingly humurous. You specificly try to incite hard feelings and bullshit onto people, and then quote scripture to make a point?.....My slow afternoon thanks you for the laugh.

I have no problems with Acies. The thread title is laughable. I will stand by that statement until someone can explain to me how it's not funny or how I'm being unfair.

Your judgements of others posting abilities or knowledge of VV culture is getting a little tiresome. Derailing of threads that you don't like with PIE is lame.

Again I appreciate your input, but I will continue to do whatever I want on this board for as long as I want. The pie serves a purpose and it's very effective.

Try taking a different look at what people are saying, give them a little latitude to make mistakes.

Remember "Judge not lest ye be judged"

This board is not about giving latitude for mistakes. It's much more about social Darwinism. If you're not comfortable with that, I suggest you find a different message board to post on.

Your recent posts have been nothing short of embarassing. The constant repetition of, 'your flames are weak', and the outright stupidity of some of your statements are downright disappointing. I have purposefully avoided calling you out outright, because it was my hope that you would take a hint from the other posters flaming you and chill out. I know for a fact that several of your guildmates have spoken to you about your posting here.

I don't understand why you post the way you do. I know your smarter than that, and I always considered you very intelligent and a loyal and good friend. Your posts here don't reflect that. They make you look foolish, and frankly that disappoints me because, as I said, I know you're not. If you were anyone else, I would be flaming you every time you posted. Instead I have kept quiet, and I have bitten my tongue. I'm sure you'll take this personally, and attempt to turn this into a flame war, and if I'm really lucky, I'll probably receive /tells PMs or phone calls from you or other interested parties. I don't mean this in a mean way, but since you're attempting to call me out, I felt it only fair to respond in an honest manner and be as upfront as possible.

Venti is a good person. He's probably one of the most straighforward and honest people I know from EQ. I had a good time hanging out with him last weekend and I can tell you he's the same way IRL.

If everyone here is an asshole:

1. Why do you continue to post here?
2. Isn't it conceivable that you are the one with the problem?

I don't want a flame war with you. Never have.

Venti · Post by **Venti** » February 12, 2003, 7:43 pm

Your inability to connect the dots (relevance) has nothing to do with me being, or not being an asshole.

Essentially Im calling you a hypocrit, in case you missed it.

Tag you're it....or something

I liked you when I got to know you well enough, and other than stuff you post here, I dont really feel any differently about you in game. I think you play well, understand the game, etc etc, but there are occasions when I see something so glaringly dumb, it motivates me to say something.

Really I was shocked to some degree to see your post that I quoted, in my mind basicly trying to incite more riot-like posts between yourself and KoE. While we were in PE together, you were one of the few that said, "look people, let the KoE drama die, dont feed it". Clearly your view on that must have changed since then. *If someone did* send you info from KoE's board, shame on them. To post here saying that someone did, was fucked up, because it served no purpose, other than to stir the pot. Since I don't give a shit what happens between you and KoE, I didnt bother saying anything, until you get on a high horse, quoting the bible, to assist your argument here? Are you fucking stupid or think no one remembers the crap-fest you post here?

In closing, when you "call em like you see em", I'll choose to not fuck off, but will probably reply, Calling it like I see it.....and stuff.

Atokal · Post by **Atokal** » February 12, 2003, 7:52 pm

Aranuil, I mean this in the most sincere friendship I can muster. Since you called out another friend of mine on these boards for a spelling mistake I thought I should point out merited.

Venti, I have always had great respect for you in game, even before I got to know you as many of my EQ pals spoke highly of you. As to the KoE quote you grabbed, I posted a sincere grats to KoE based upon information I was sent by a KoE member the night that Behemoth died.

I was immediately attacked by several members of KoE. I editted the title as soon as I was informed that it was:

a) incorrect
b) was seen as baiting since the above was true.

I did not share the contents of the post on KoE boards, and responded to the attacks in like kind. If my defending of a friend on this thread is the real reason for your post sorry but I will always stand by my friends.

Cheers

I can attest to this statement without equivocation. Venti is a solid guy, and is one of the few people I've met in this game that has earned my respect in the real world.

noel · Post by **noel** » February 12, 2003, 8:11 pm

I'd like to rescind my remarks about Acies editing the title. He did not. If he chooses to no longer post here, that's entirely his decision, but that does not in any way change the fact that I find the title of this thread laughable.

Atokal,

Thank you for pointing out the mispelling of the word merited. I will continue to endeavor to spell words perfectly in all of my posts, but I do hope that any mispelling are brought to my attention so that they can be corrected and I can continue to improve in my effort to communicate effectively.

Re: the PMs alledgedly received from Jlove (or whomever)...

If I were in your situation (as an officer of a guild) and received such information I would:

1. Delete the information implore sender to never send me such material again.
2. If it happened again, I would simply privately forward the email to their respective guild leaders. I would forward this type of information whenever it was received until it stopped.

I think everyone on this board can agree that the private section of the members board for our guilds are generally not for public consumption.

That's just my personal opinion.

Edit: Spelling/typing > me.
