I'm honored! Thanks

Half your "problem" is that you generally put way too much value on innovation and artistry, at least as compared to mainstream thought. Broad brush, of course, but it works well enough. Because of that, you're apt to get really enthused about the gaming equivalent of broiled pelican penis while shitting all over a perfectly suitable peanut butter -n- jelly sammich (not classy enough to even call a sandwich, mind you). That puts you crosswise with "common thought" right off the hop and then you defend your walls 300-Spartan style. Probably the only fault in that is occasionally you lose track of the fact that judgments easily made within your value system won't always fit well with someone not sharing said system. We're all guilty of that sin, though. Part of being semi-human and all that…
It's probably easier just to call you an arrogant prick and stuff the finer details, but I'm reminded of something about pots and kettles…
Where's the 'like' button when you needed it for once?
…and what was that about my garden being messy?
You have "strange" views on things because you operate from an unusual value system. Unusual, as in not mainstream, as opposed to unusual as in unmitigated evil.
I dont like you.
I bet your breath is horrible too. I find that people I dislike usually have horrid breath as well, so there's a strange correlation between halitosis and people that I consider knuckleheads.
I think that you need to make a poll of this thread, you know. One option be "I think Dart is Awful", and the other "I think Dart is Wonderful". I'm really curious as to which would win.
You already know how I'd vote. I'd probably vote twice if given the chance, so make sure you set up the poll right if you do it.
What hey? I'm not quite sure how I'm supposed to take this.On your journey through forum hell:
1. At the threshold, your first encounter is a taunting demon named dteowner. Frequently mistaken as an obviously malign creature, he's especially craftful at poking reactions out of most visitors.

+1, I don’t like the way you present your augments ether, it always seem to be about attacking the opinion you don’t agree with in an ether direct or indirect way, yes you do present your own argument in a solid way supported by facts but what I have seen of your posts the always try to devalue or discredit the opinion people that don’t agree with you, maybe you should try to let your opinion sat on it own rather then attack your opponents if your opinion are valid and presented in a reasonable way it should be able to stand on it own.
As for why I don’t put you on ignore, I find the it’s best listing to all opinions even the ones I don’t agree with before making up my mind, who know maybe I could learn something new.
PS. I thought about working in a low key reference comparing your way of presenting your augments to that of a politician, but I decided against it since it would also be a cheap attack.
Just set up the poll yourself in this thread, Dart. I can think of no more appropriate place to put it.
Or are you too damn lazy?
I think you are tolerable DArt.
Humor doesn’t really translate well to writing and like you said we're all right and wrong every single day of our lives, the idea or at least philosophy behind an online forum is to give people a place to discuses various ideas and topics, when you try to devalue an opinion rater then just pointing out why you disagree with it and what your own opinion on the matter is, you endYeah, it's true - I do tend to bash the opinions of other people when I feel they're silly or unfair. I can see why that would rub them the wrong way.
But, given my nature of being an extremely sarcastic person - it's something I don't think I can ever really change. I do that IRL as well - probably even more so, but it's always done with a heavy dose of smiles and sarcasm - and again, I separate opinions from the people having them. IRL, people "get me" - so they understand that nothing about it is a serious insult - and that I insult myself as much as anyone else. I guess that doesn't register online.
In that same way, I think I'm capable of admitting to having a crap opinion or apologizing online more than most people. Simply because I don't take it to heart. I also don't go around padding myself on the back because I may be right about something.
Being right or wrong is so fucking trivial in my world. We're all right and wrong every single day of our lives. I just can't take it seriously - and I can't fret about people despising my opinions - just as long as it's not personal. If it's personal, then there's a misunderstanding somewhere. People can confuse opinions with the people having them - but they should remember that level of information can be completely random and incidental.
Being polite and honest are not mutually exclusive, being honest come first of course, but if you put a little time into your posts being polite as well usually isn’t that hard and that apply to everyone I seen far worse people then you on other forums.Also, I happen to think a lot of people around here "bash" opinions - but they're more subtle and wishy-washy about it. It's like being polite (genuinely or not) is more important than being honest - and I don't agree.
Really, where I come from(Denmark) politicians are far more interested in attacking their opponent’s opinions and doing character assassination then the are in being popular, don’t believe me just hit one of the online newspaper sites and read up on latest articles and headlines under politics.As for the politician thing, that's cute - but pretty far from the truth. I'm the anti-politician. Politicians are obligated to try and be popular - and I'm obligated to be blunt and honest no matter the reaction. I don't always succeed - but it's close.
So, call me anything you want - but that would be very inaccurate.[/
