this is the most childish way I could possibly think to handle it.

And don't argue with me, that's my opinion, not yours.

is a hilarious juxtaposition, just so you know

but, really, if we have to make it explicitly clear that in a section like the Counter-Point, you're supposed to try to be intelligible, then this thread has done good. i figured that was just a basic built-in assumption that came with entrance into a discursive space, but i should've listened when my common sense started tingling.

Well, yes, he needs to improve his grammar immensely, so that we can make a fraction of sense out of it, but this is the most childish way I could possibly think to handle it.

Well, if it is childish, it's only because asking politely has effected no change up to this point.

And don't argue with me, that's my opinion, not yours. I don't want to cause more drama by making a damned suggestion.

You know, I usually reserve this phrase for people who have either really pissed me off or done something exceedingly stupid.

Shut up.

This is the COUNTER POINT. If you come in here posting and someone doesn't agree with you, big deal. THAT'S THE POINT. Not only am I pissed that you presume you can tell me what to do, you've completely missed the point of the ENTIRE SUBFORUM WE'RE POSTING IN.

Nice one.

And I have not looked at the other topic yet.

Do you see the inherent problem here? This topic originally started as something to discuss the broad strokes of the situation before AJC ran in and made it about him. The topic was to discuss etiquette in general.

And don't argue with me

Get out of the Counter-Point.

Alright, I'm just going to back out of this thread. I'm doing a bang up job of arguing my point so far. Don't hold it against me.

/leaves thread because tired, late at night, and not a good argument worth my time.

Sorry, I'm not too well versed in slang, but from my knowledge a "bang up job" means you're doing a good job. Yeah, no. You've made points that were addressed previously in two topics, got shot down again, and then got butthurt when we argued with you. In the Counter Point.

Bang up job indeed.

this is hardly s deabte. this is the counter point HE CAN diagree with YOU, HE CAN tell you not to argue with him AND thats the sad truth of it.

The purpose of this SUBFORUM is arguing. Coming in and telling people not to argue DOES NOT WORK. So NO HE CAN'T.

Are you serious? Ha ha ha ha, NO. NO. READ THE FUCKING RULES TO THIS PLACE AND THE GUIDE.

YOU STUPID MOTHER FUCKER.

Because YOU won't goddamn listen and will cling to -whatever- excuse and defense you can latch to.

Yes, I've degraded to insulting you to your face.

Yes, I think it's worth it.

Yes, I think you're fucking hopeless and blind to all input from EVERYBODY, and for what? So you don't have to take TEN SECONDS to make sure we can UNDERSTAND YOU.

Get the HELL out of my sight.

There's a big difference between debating, and just blabbering. There's no point on discussing things like this as we are going to implement rules of etiquette in the counter point. We just want to help you AJC, your call if you want to act all childish about this or take the advice.

Also (for anyone that doesn't know, anyways), if you are not willing to debate or be confronted , then you have no place on this subforum, after all, this is the counter point, be prepared to be countered

Then keep making it happen and this will all die out. Revert to banging your head on the keyboard to type, and it'll show up again.

Your call.

AJC. Making it happen is all you ever needed to do. You never needed to get so dramatic about it :/

Then why haven't you? MY turn to play victim, I want to know why YOU ignore all our advice and help. We linked you to programs. We assured you that all you need to do is be legible. We've done so much, and all you've done is act as if we're bullying you because it gets us off.

I want ANSWERS goddamn you, I want to know WHY you're incapable of downloading Word. I want to know WHY you think we're so mean when we point out the bad, and try to point right. I want to know WHY you kepp making the same mistakes without explanation.

Do it. Tell me!

Stop saying your posts are improved when you can't even spell "significantly" and "personal" right. For god's sake, SAY THE WORD OUT LOUD AND SOUND IT OUT if you are having doubts. Open a dictionary. Go to dictionary.com.

We're telling you to spell properly, not to kill yourself. Christ.

edit: you know it's pointless anyways

Steve, the glorious man he is, is implementing rules so you can't get away with this bullshit. So whine all you want, from now on it won't be any skin off our backs.

I POINTED YOU TO A LINK. Wordpad. Chances are very good that your computer right now has it. Go to Start. Then All Programs. Then Accessories. Then click on Wordpad. It comes standard on Windows computers. SHAZAM. THERE IS YOUR SPELL CHECKER. No need to download anything.

incidentally, Asper, that is why i said AJC was trolling and being disrespectful. and all that was there long before User ever spoke up.

Yeah, didn't catch those. A reminder to think things trough a little bit before starting to crack heads together I guess.

Woah, ease down Milky. We shouldn't have to resort to breaking rules, the basic ones about being nice to each other, to get this point across.

That brings me to another thing regarding the etiquette on this board. I see quite a bit of "You're stupid for having that opinion." and similar stuff aimed at making people feel bad for having an opinion they don't agree with. I want to hear if it's me seeing ghosts or if there's people feeling actually discouraged from speaking up in case they get targeted in such a way. Disagreement is the fuel of any debate board, but when it gets one-sided because one side is scaring the other into silence, then something is wrong. There's a very fine line between letting such stuff go on, and babying people, and we should strive to walk that line as close as we can.

Love and tolerate people, love and tolerate.

This has gone way too far, I think that we all understand the rules by now, so let's be done with it, okay?

Judging by the name I thought this was going to be some sort of topic with the rules stated inside of it; instead I found a massive forum argument. This is not what the Counter-Point is for. Thank you and good night.

No, this is a topic where we are trying to come to terms if any new rules should be added, and is very much relevant to the counter-point board.

Thank you and good afternoon.

^ Well in that case this topic needs a better name, etiquette (also you guys talking about spellings in the previous arguments (which had nothing to do with suggesting new rules and everything to do with having a go at ajc) you (not you personally, but seeing as Milky made the thread I'm blaming him) actually spelt etiquette (you put double 't') wrong in the actual title ^^) always reminds me of sitting down at dinner and not putting your elbows on the table.

Call it something like 'Rule suggestion thread' and make it a sticky. Also, there's already one talking about the rules which IS a sticky. I fail to see the point, please explain (that is the point of this entire board - yes?).

This barrel has rolled enough. I'm locking the topic.

We will let you guys know when we get the bunch of rules created/updated.
