~On a serious note~

When people say "This forum is more mature and better than others": Is that enough? Why do we need to base ourselves on others and not just work on ourselves instead?

Oh, and I ended up getting peanut butter chocolate ice cream with two of the biggest pieces of the Reese's Peanut Butter Cups I've ever had. They literally took up my entire mouth.

The Chinese is a nice touch.

Not reading a single thing in your own thread: 失败!

Using logical fallacies to support your own point of view: 失败!

Not refuting a single point I've made during the entire discussion and calling me a failure for having an argument that stands up: 失败!

Jumping on a bandwagon with everyone else, because if so many people are saying the same thing, they can't be wrong, right? 失败中的失败!

You had a pretty good argument in that post.

Then you ruined it with the link. Tsk tsk.

Also, apparently I'm jumping on a bandwagon with everybody else while not reading any of their posts.

Shoebox...

Couldn't you see this thread was going into a more lighthearted direction? Why can't you relax? You asked why you never get a break... TAKE A BREAK. You probably aren't wrong about most things about this game, but you are wrong about this. Which logical fallacy are you referring to this time? You already mentioned the strawman, but I already showed you why that is not the case. Here it is again if you missed it:

If we said: dude, you think entitlement means "a right to something" but you are wrong. We know you are wrong because you are acting like a child. THAT would be a strawman.

If you read Dr. Spacebar's eloquent response, you would understand that we do not disagree with your definition. What we really disagree with was that you chose to ignore a colloquialism in order make an issue out of nothing and resorted to insults (which is always a sign of a failed argument and it's also a sure fire sign of a troll). I say you "chose" because I assume you are smart enough to know that there are enough context clues to understand what was meant when that guy used the word "entitlement." I don't really understand why you hate that word so much, but I'll spare you my armchair psychoanalysis. Really though: It's ok, we all get in bad moods sometimes.

Give yourself, AND this ridiculous thread a break. We don't hate you even though you want to look like you hate us. Just stop being a jerk and everyone will love you! lol I'm serious. You are loveable. Your name is Shoebox FFS... I have already said I think "you're a rad dude". What more do you want? Let us love you haha. Stop being such a macho shoebox... thing...

Here's a challenge: Can you

Here's a challenge: Can you stop being a condescending tool long enough to read other people's posts in this thread?

Just kidding, we all know that you can't.

Here's a challenge: Can you stop being a bursting pineapple enough to tangerine those apples? I broccoli you couldn't.

Just kidding, we all know you're a rotten starfruit.

edit: I just realized that your previous logical fallacies (jumping on the bandwagon without reading posts included) probably weren't even intentional. Even though you appear to be a terrible person, you don't even have the somewhat redeeming feature of being a clever troll.

I'm sorry to step in, but

I'm sorry to step in, but what does the word "entitlement" means? No dictionnary or encyclopedia is able to explain the meaning of this word, so I thought I'd consult the superior beings, forumers, to get an answer.

OBJECTION!

Don't listen to the prosecution! Virtuewis doesn't sound like a condescending tool at all!

EDIT: In fact, he sounds level headed. And I'm dead serious. Even if my post was Phoenix Wright related.

Good lord.

I went to sleep and this thread turned into an /emote party and an argument that should have died came back.

Even if someone is incredibly harsh, it doesn't miraculously invalidate their points...

Neither does insulting people invalidate backed up claims so I can't really see what you are trying to say here.

The only nonsense in this

The only nonsense in this thread was the baseless insults. I don't know how can you call the situation of someone explaining their say as nonsense, that's as rude as calling someone idiot/moron (or maybe even worse because outside of instigating you didn't really contribute in any way here).

Shoebox lit this thread on fire, and it's still burning.

Interestingly, the state of this thread may be worse than the state of the forums.

Carry on.

It's 'nonsense' because it's

It's 'nonsense' because it's an argument over the use of a word in a thread about the forums being crazy.

It's perfectly intelligent but is ironic and arguably pointless.

And, maybe I was snappy too, but I wouldn't say I didn't do anything.

Forums are naturally ridiculous. SK is becoming more into that theme.

BTW

Shoebox, this is going to sound condescending to you again... but when you linked something to a wikipedia page, you have weakened your earlier argument (in post #9) that wikipedia isn't a worthy source of support for a claim (which I normally agree with). That's not that big of a deal. It's also not a big deal that you have evoked Godwin's Law (final link in #108) a bit cliche', but whatever... The real problem was that you (wrongly) accused people of resorting to strawman, and then you resort to it yourself in almost every post (almost every time you have resorted to insults in this thread). Etendue may or may not have refuted any of your claims, but he didn't need to. Your claims were invalid from the start... (other than that you know a usable definition of the word "entitlement," but then again, you are smart enough to not need a cookie for that).

I'm sorry but there is a difference between being condescending and teaching. It is empirically true that you are guilty of the aforementioned fallacies. AGAIN, we agree that your definition of entitlement is a usable one. Yes, we still love you (I guess I can only speak for myself) and that is why I try to inform you despite your resistance to learn. You are smart enough to understand what is being said... but are you mature enough to handle it?

TL;DR: Good > Evil

I know... my bad :(

You're right though, Etendue. I'm calling off the justice hounds. I'm sorry everyone. I will stop with the white-knightery...

I will just have to keep telling myself: Read but don't feed. That will be my mantra. Thanks for slapping some sense into me lol.

But a nerf for swords(flourishes) and guns (Polaris)...

Forget hoping, one can't even hallucinate!

P.S:- When will we get new avatars?"

Freeze FSC and fire Amon-Sol... why not??

And I want to be able to upload our own or link an image already uploaded somewhere to be displayed as avi. :(
