Malekith - Korpg - Wooooodum - Blazza

This thread is pure lulz, with a fantastic lolcow as a target. Good job! :)

Sweet Baby Jesus this threads has gumption I do say! No one answered my survey /sigh (pg 4 post10). From what I read it seems like Korpg has either mellowed out (compared to former threads) or is just plain ol' tired of being the drama queen. I'd drink a beer to that, but I retired from drinking (just makes me as honery as hell)so I'll drink a milkshake instead.

3 Cheers for a newer, and hopefully happier Korpg.

You know what this thread needs!!!

It can't be all Korpg's fault. If he's "stating an opinion" and people don't directly respond to it, I doubt he would make an arguement (#1) with them.

That brings me to a point i want to make about Wooo's post..

A reason most arguments escalate is because people communicate differently and are often misunderstood. Even when two people speak the same language, they don't necessarily speak the same way. Example: Most people would see arguement as definition #1. Others could see it solely for definition #2. That's where the differences lead to escalation, b/c now neither person is truly understanding each other. In conjunction, a lot of people conceive the notion of communication as eucharist. Meaning they take offense when someone tells them something they don't agree with.

The point is, when you tell someone, or quote them and say, "this is what you mean." You are essentially wrong. You are assuming, and one should ever assume they completely understand someones thoughts.

EDITS: for spelling etc.
I only use Wooo~'s example b/c it was the closest one. Full post is on page 6.

arguements spark because people are bored, or spiteful, and im both, now fight me for three days on forums cause we all have no life!

Enough of the sappy stuff. All i have to say about this pic is, if this dog is alive... WOW O.o

think someone already said he was dead

Enough over analyzing motives and retaliations of pointless conversations. We need more breakfast food photos stat!

i read the bacon chart, printed it out, posted it up all over the workspaces. Everyone needs the thought processes behind teh baconismness

Bacon is similar to cocaine or any other narcotic that affects your nervous system. Too much in one sitting will kill you. Although I should probably post this on the completely separate and more relevant bacon thread >.>

typo.. i meant was alive lol

o.O




STAT!

Thank you also.

lolwut?

Definition #1: an oral disagreement; verbal opposition; contention; altercation
Definition #2: a discussion involving differing points of view; debate

But he really lost me at Eucharist.

But whether you see it as definition 1 or 2, you're still arguing. It's the manner in which these arguments (definition 3 or 4 if you will) are presented that is the issue. This is also what Karu, Wooooo, myself and others were commenting on in our posts on the previous page(s). (I'm not overly sure what Tavlov is commenting on)

He used it as an example. And debate = arguing, arguing = debate. Its how you consider the tone of the argument (or debate) that determines the meaning. I see it as debate, you see it as argument.

When the majority of people see it as an argument, and you are a minority in considering it a fair debating atmosphere, you have to rethink the way you're presenting yourself.

It relates back to what I said about how the attitude: "This is how i do it, if you misunderstand/don't like it then that's your problem" just doesn't work.

If this is your defense, then you shouldn't even enter into a discussion =/.

Guys there's not much point even bothering to carry on that conversation, Korpg is just ignoring any discussion we attempt and only acknowledging things that he feels are positive towards him. It appears he's trying to not get involved so everyone should sort of do the same.

I was annoyed at first because I thought he was ignoring our comments but if that's the way he wants to try to make things different then give him the chance.

Sometimes we need to agree to disagree. I would hope that everyone would be happy in me saying this topic should be considered closed?

It amuses me to the point of sadness that Korpg has spent dozens of posts across the forums reitterating that he is actually a misunderstood, victimised individual with good intentions. Why, then, when numerous people have clearly made an effort to build bridges has he completely ignored them? That is not the behaviour of somebody with "good intentions". If he was really interested in making amends, as ignoring the negative posts would imply, why is he ignoring various people's attempts at making him see their point and build bridges?

Personally, I'm not going to bother anymore. I can see plain as day that I won't get through to you. I tried, and failed, to bridge the divide between the two of us. If you don't want to, then that's fair enough; entirely your choice. Just don't complain you're being victimised or misunderstood, because at least I tried.

That's more or less a ditto from me, I don't have any eloquence left. Topic closed is good too.

I don't see your last wall of text as a positive post towards me. I see it as another negative attack really. You may not realize that you made any negative attacks at me (because you said in the first sentence that you weren't trying to) but you did, several times.

















Side note for this: I did thank everyone for their help. I wanted to do something different, even said so. I got flamed (including you) for wanting to do something different. So, I called your posts (after the posts I thanked you for) empty.





None of these (and this is about 75-85% of your wall-o-text post you considered "bridge building") are postive at all. I know I don't express myself fully at times. I do try, and I have improved (somewhat) but people still misunderstand me. I'm not sure all of that is my fault. I'm no public speaker. I don't have any techniques to make my word get across to everyone. I'm not like Obama.

I do have to respond back. I get angry at times. I act out of passion (like everyone else here, Blazza being the best example, Malekith at times too) and type without thinking about the end result. Everyone is guilty of it. Responding back from an attack....is.....human......nature.

Now, back to the point in hand. You wanted me to not respond to negative posts. You give me a negative post. I don't respond. You call it "building bridges" and how I don't want to create peace and harmony. I got confused. I respond to your "building bridges" post. I don't want you to say I'm still causing discord and drama because I responded to something I considered a "negative" post and that was against your post. I did accept your reply. I do listen.

tl;dr More breakfast anyone? :3

xD /

I could really go for one of these right now ^^:

Pointing out the obvious to the oblivious: This thread from the moment it was first written only had one outcome. Perhaps you could play the game and use these forums for productive means, instead of going over the same boring ***over.. and over again.

Are you refering to the endless cycle of retorts and arguements between the same people or to the breakfast food picture posts?

I believe he is refering to the endless cycle.

/shrugs, I just want eggs and bacon ._.

{You can have this.}

Now I'm trying not to think of Dane Cook's B&E joke >.>
