Excuse me for not realizing your statements referred to yourself. Its not often I see someone publicy degrade him/herself.

Anyway, I never really explicitly stated "That tactic is bad. If you can't understand that then it isn't my problem. Please don't talk about it any more." If someone came to me who I felt would be receptive to perhaps different perspectives (most of my perspectives are the same as everyone elses, just worded differently and automatically labeled "rubbish" for the tone in which they are presented) I would be happy to share.

And therein lies the nut.

Derek "None of my ideas, thoughts, or concepts are different, or original. Therefore, to bring attention to myself, I will bash the entire site, and those that post here. Then they will pay attention to me"

I was paraphrasing. But you knew that already.
The wording is the issue. Because an opinion is stated as fact does not make it one. Logic applied to an opinion is just as shaky.

So, what are you studying in Summer School?

AgeofWonder: That's a good guess, but its not true. Why would anyone who wants attention seek negative attention? I'm not mentally unbalanced or anything. Everyone was apparently interested enough in the thread, it did get about 200 replies within the span of so many hours. Why should the thread's creator be any different?

Gibbings: Physics. If you really want to talk about it you can PM me (if I'm still around I'll recieve it), or just ask the mods to move the thread to another realm:D .

People who seek or crave attention do not care if it is negative or positive. Most people who are mentally unbalanced do not know or recognize the fact that they are. Interested in the thread for its true content maybe or just interested in it like some people are interested in a car crash. Some people like to see the results of their actions. Some crimminals like to return to the scene of their crime.

And where might the Wood Golem, Derek Smalls, Uncle Sam, Franz and whatever the next handle you choose to create studing Physics? Is there some reason to the changing of of your "handle"? You have said before that you have been playing MK since day one so when was that day one? I ask for a different reason then one might expect.

I assure I am quite mentally stable, but that's all I can do.

The reason my handle keeps changing is because the mods keep banning me. Apparently they feel that I should not be allowed access to this website. Its rather silly though, hunting me down when there's probably someone on the trade forum trying to steal figures right now.

I took physics summer class because I recieve free tuition at a local college. I don't really see how that's relevant, but I'm an honest person, so there you go.

If I remember correctly MK was released on November 1, 2000, or something like that. At any rate I had seen it advertised and waited for its release, and bought some as soon as it arrived in stores.

I assume that isn't enough of a hint?

I fear, in the future, that some poor young lady will be stalked horribly.

Since you feel the need to "teach", please allow me to give you an Internet lesson, as well as a life lesson....

When someone says "Go away", they usually mean it.

It doesn't mean, "Come back soon."

Why would one be taking Physics at the local community college in summer? Having never taken a class in summer school, I am curious. (waiting took a whole bunch in Grad School, but then I had to to get paid)

Stalking and continuing a conversation are two totally different things. I don't have any great passion for "teaching" you how to play MK. It just so happens that I have a conversation going on in this thread and my army thread, and as long as they keep getting replies, I'm going to keep responding back.

But since its been brought up, do you really think I should've been banned in the first place? I think its been said several times that someone with a considerable post count wouldn't have been. And in all honesty, am I really that uncivil, even when I'm just playing around, or how about now? Sure I'm disliked, but is that a reason to ban someone?

I've scrolled through threads where I have seen warlords, representatives of WK, openly berate someone's opinion. While the person was obviously a newbie, the principle is the same. I don't berate opinions without explaining why. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on everything, so is dissenting really that bad so long as you state your reason? Why would it be?

Gibbings: Why not? Free tuition, five credits, and a good excuse not to work. I'm all for it. ;)

Where I went to school physics was the engineering weed out class. Either you passed it there or became an econ major. Oh, well. To each his own.

Ah, I didn't really consider it as a "weed out" class. Physics is a good subject for me, after all, I had two physics courses in high school. I aced this one without opening the book, all it really was was a refresher course, which I'm not gonna pay for if I don't have to. I probably should have just taken the AP exam.

To answer a question from earlier, the other thread was removed as it was going beyond a discussion and getting ugly by numerous different posters. It was no longer a calm or even tempered MK discussion so it was pulled.

chem 101 is the weed out course at texas A&M....good thing I clepped out of it ;).

My first college schedual is-
Honors Calculus
Physics
Eng. 101
Military Science (mandatory)
Band (not your average college band, but a good ol milatary one :) )

edit-strange how these threads wander...........

What kind of sissy military school is that? No beating and bleeding? sheesh. :)

I am done with classes. 147 Graduate hours. Anybody want to buy some?

They don't wander. They are guided by the force.
