2002 Players are Awesome!

I only point it out because your general demeanor is less than welcoming, to say the least.

It is obligatory that pointless threads be filled with equally pointless bickering and condescending assertions for at least nine pages.

Kind of like highlighting the relatively inconsequential difference between a suggestion and an assertion as it pertained to that post.

Indeed. One needs to be consistent with the atmosphere of such threads.

See, Art and Minjo alone made it worth it

I'd like to apologize to Minjo for making irrelevant and unnecessary measures to correct a matter that in all probability was splitting hairs. I'm simply doing my best to wrap my head around the prickly nature of his posts, despite their validity.

I just visualize him as a robot, or a vulcan. just don't come to the table with any silly human emotion, cold logic only. I don't even see him as pricky, just the voice of reason, which I can appreciate.

I appreciate his extravagant vocabulary and unparalleled logical observations and assertions too. However, based on previous encounters, I cannot help but find (even if only superficially) his choice of words to be smarting, or downright haughty.

If we're talking within the scope of in general, we're not talking at all. While I realize my blunt disposition can appear rude at times, I've explained that such conclusions are false on many an occasion, which leads me to believe that further prodding at it, generally speaking, is nothing more than an attempt to stir up trouble. I do my best to not take the bait, as it were, in these situations.
If you're referring to this post,
My question is, why did you care so much about them being wrong? I stopped reading after a few min because it seemed like you have a superiority complex.
Clearly being irritated when someone tells you that you're wrong in regard to something you're certain of is indicative of a superiority complex. It definitely has nothing to do with that being a pretty common button for people.
That isn't to suggest that he didn't completely and utterly waste his time with an irreconcilable situation, but asserting that his motivation is the result of a personality defect is ignorant at best.
...Well I didn't see anything inappropriate about it. They suggested something pretty asinine, and I explained why in a way that was befitting of the lack of thought they put into it.

yeah, I have a big problem with being indifferent to life as a whole, so, it wouldn't bother me if I noticed.

I laughed.
Edit: God damnit, now I'm going to stare at my own avatar while posting.

That's not to say your stance was unjust, but I suppose the coldness and blunt nature of your posts flies over my head and leaves me baffled at times. Any further attempt of rebuttal becomes a personal appeal to emotion, which more often than not, holds no merit to the matter at hand, and thus is self-defeating. Perhaps it is I, more so than Minjo that requires a lesson or two in humility, as to come to terms with where I stand in the eyes of others based on my reactions and choice of words. Luckily we have someone that can consistently and accurately put it into light, without any emotional bias or sugarcoat to distort the reality of one's behavior or personality.

Alas! I missed the cue and made a verbose and unnecessary statement post comic relief.
I think it would be best to excuse myself for awhile.

Eh...2002 players are soooo 2011.
Players starting their accounts on December 21, 2012 will be the only cool ones. :p
Preface: I realize something like this would probably belong in the flamecore, and that we don't do that here anymore. However, due to the fact the affected users are non-members of this site, I don't anticipate any crossfire or a heated debate, as such I'm going to attempt to discuss what happened as civilly as possible. If that's still against the rules then just lock/delete the thread. This is largely so I can vent my frustration anyway.
So. I was having an AWESOME (read: terrible) Gusgen alliance party when two local internet superheros decided to brag that they were OG 2002. Since I know virtually every importer on the server, and most of the JPs who speak English fluently enough to fool me into thinking they're not JP, I knew this to be a blatant lie. So, I decided I would put them in their respective places. Note that I did not start off as arrogant seeming as I become, as I originally feign ignorance and pretend I'm not sure that the game did in fact see its NA release in 2003, as the fact that you're an ignorant fool usually goes down better knowing (thinking) the other party is too. Sadly I was, in this case, mistaken.
I did some heavy editing to "parse" the discussion as it occurred during approximately 30 minutes of garbage EXPing, so I must apologize for what I'm sure is an eyesore.
Now, I stand back and ask the question I usually ask myself when I'm in complete disbelief. Really? Was I being trolled or did my faith in humanity just sink a huge notch.
