I got confused somewhere along the way in this thread.

To borrow a quote from the beautiful Patrick Bateman, I fail to see how this is my problem.
There's a gay-for-pay (allegedly straight but has gay sex) porn actor who goes by the same name: Patrick Bateman. At first glance, I'd thought it was him you were referring to, but I realized that that probably wasn't right. Luckily, Google doesn't even know who the porn actor is. :P
And now I'm not confused. So I shall go wash my hands three times now, instead of doing groanings.
Thanks for sharing? I'm confused as to why you would bother telling us this though. I mean, there's no links to actual porn and allegedly we can't Google this porn star, so what's the point?

So i've been called a fuckwit because i showed a bit of empathy to either side? Wow, well thats polite for sure. I'd say not calling someone a name is more polite than if you spell the sentence wrong. That is all i was saying.
No, you have been called a fuckwit both because I like the term and to provide an example of the fact that the normal rules of politeness are more than a little warped here. The fact is that the use of pejorative terminology towards your fellow posters is not regarded as rude at MATY. Indeed, one might almost conclude that vituperative comments and ad hominem attacks are, if anything, seen as de rigeur. Should you care to investigate the forum as a whole you would soon see that derogatory terminology, insinuation, and even spectacularly insulting lies are not reserved solely for the neophyte posters but are bandied about gleefully amongst even the most venerable MATYzens.
Which being said, of course, MATY regulars do, indeed, tend to give new arrivals a particularly hard time. This serves several purposes. Firstly, it allows us to winnow the recent intake. Those who survive the onslaught with their good grace intact, those who adjust their posting habits in light of the relentless sporking, or those who fight their corner with humour and zeal, they are the wheat from the apocalyptic harvest and they are, quite rightly, retained and valued. Those who display butthurt, meanwhile, or who fail to take on board the viciously-delivered lesson, are considered to be the chaff and are left to blow away in the sour wind of failure. Secondly, it discourages at least some contributors from continuing to repeat their mistakes, whether that be by means of taking the time to couch their messages in terminology and structure that is less likely to attract the opprobrium of the MATY regulars or, alternatively, by simply not posting so frequently, if at all. Thirdly, and this, perhaps, is the most important purpose of all, it affords us a great deal of entertainment, both from the inept flailings of those who take it all to heart and from the simple enjoyment to be garnered from witnessing an exquisitely barbed dart being delivered with precision and style.

I already said i'm not going to bother capitalizing my i's. Maybe YOU are the tard for not having read that.
I don't care if you "won't bother" with it. We're saying do it or GTFO. You do not seem to understand this. This makes you a tard. You have been told, repeatedly, to follow our rules or go away. How is this so hard to grasp? Post properly or not at all. OK? OK.
Also, stop abusing your poor language. What has it ever done to you?
snowbawl:
Do you feel important enough to capitalize your "I(s)"? I do. See how easy that is? Self-importance through better capitalization...screw your morals. No one cares.
This is an intelligent forum of intelligent people who put a lot of hard work and effort on their own time, without being paid, in order to help you and possibly make your game better. The least, the very least you can do is show a little thanks and respect by posting like you are not, in fact, an idiot. Pretend if you must.
SimplyComplex:
If the site owner tells me to spell my i's as capitals then i will, thats fair enough. But to say someone isn't intelligent all because of a capital here and there on a forum? Come on, please. Like intelligence comes down to that. You could be a bloody heart surgeon yet be dyslexic. I thought you also said tedious people were tards.. well thats you all still included. My god, now it's all coming down to an 'i'. I I I I I I I I I I I I I oooooo bet you feel good now! Have you got tingles.
