Lisnpuppy Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 The debate is not the value of some, several posts here, but on the value of ALL posts in this section. For every good example of a relevent, thought out post, there are 20-30 bad ones. That is the problem.mycomment wasn't about the topics in the lounge per say. My comment was directed at you calling a 13 year old boy...lazy!!! Nice way to urge someone to post and encouage that they take a more active part in the community.And since when does a "gaming community" deal only with mods and factory made games? Many here don't play oblivion so their "lazy" in your eyes.Do you take an active role in your RL community by participating in town meetings,or take an active role in city state or county and country meetings? Do you supply any input to those or are you just "lazy too"?First, I didn't call him lazy... he called himself that. I was merely pointing out that his lazyness for not wanting to spend time in other sections of the forum might be why he has such a disagreement about post count. Second, I don't normally look at people's ages. I answer based on what was posted, and entirely that. I don't recall ever suggesting that his age was an issue. As you probably know, there are several people in the 12-15 year old group who are rather capable at what they do, and are valued members of this community. There are also 12-15 year olds who are just outright immature, unwilling to reason, and make no attempts to hide this. There was NOTHING in his post to convey his age, so don't know where you're coming from on any of this. I quoted his EXACT words, if he had a problem with those words, he probably shouldn't have used them. If someone says "God, I feel so stupid, I just handed a perfect stranger my wallet" you should be able to agree with that person without themselves, or anyone else, getting on your case about it. Third, I really don't understand where all this hostility is coming from. What gave you the impression that I only value those who post on Oblivion Mods, or even Oblivion for that matter? I'm not sure if you've noticed, but this forum covers topics from several other games, as well as having areas related to less specific games and systems. It also has sections for Tech help, Debates, and literary works. Just because I am not an active poster in these areas does not mean I don't acknowledge that they are also part of this community. I just usually have nothing of considderable value to contribute to those sections. Most of my posts are in the Oblivion section because I personally spend time modding Oblivion, that is all. If I played Eve or Battlefield 2, modded Morrowind, or if spore was a playable game, I would likely be regularly posting there as well. So, seriously, where is all this hostility coming from? Not that I particuarly care what you think of me, you're welcome to feel however you want, but I do think there's some sort of misunderstanding here. Besides the point, it has kinda derailed the thread a bit. We're talking about the merits of allowing posts in this section change your post count, and really, it's Robin's decision, and I believe they have already spoken on the matter. Forgive me for being male, and not being able to grasp the subtle nuances of the things people say. This is kinda why I stick to those areas of the forum I do. It's just too easy to annoy people when you're blatently honest with your posts. What I find funny here is 1) you obviously have little use for the off-topic forum yet you have posted PAGES of diatribe in this section.2) all you had to say was I dont think it should count because it is a thread that may be prone to spam or one line comments. COunts should be reserved for more direct and substantial forum topic. And that is all you pretty much needed. So here is my not so subtle yet direct saying to you....you made your point, thank you. Talk at you later gator!:) And too everyone else....drop this matter now or I will request this locked. I am getting tired of all the bickering in this site.

As to being harsh to a 13 year old, err, come of it. Not everyone knows a person's age before responding to them and if you are old enough to post here you are old enough for the replies your post might generate. I don't see it as harsh at all. It was the OP who started the ball rolling on "lazy". Can we all stop jumping all over each other please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michlo..can you maybe not keep the conversation up which obviously came to an end..especially in reply to someone with which you have a known prior bad history? As we like to say here in West Virginia...you didn't have a dog in that race. I believe your soap box comment constitutes an attempt to restart trouble and I am reporting it.Have a nice day.

Lisnpuppy, you are free to report me but since I've done nothing wrong I hope it doesn't backfire on you. I check the forums at night from work, I use the "view new posts". I don't necessarily read to the end of a whole thread (particularly if it has great swathes of text from people I'm no longer interested in reading) but this does not negate my right to respond, especially to defend another who was jumped all over for no reason. You have a nice day too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bben46 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 This has gotten so far off topic that I'm locking it.And a warning to both Dezi and Michlo to keep it on topic.Your coments (both of you ) are bordering on trolling. Egging each other on. Each one trying to get in the last word. So, I get the last word. Topic Locked Bben46, Moderator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
