> 2) As far as the enforcement of the rules goes, I have no problem with the occasional humorous posting. However, you, Grallon, and your fellow boneheads seem to think that clogging every possible thread with obscure, pointless Army jargon makes you funny. It doesn't. Not even close. Grallon wouldn't know funny if it bit him in the ass, and the rest of you aren't usually much better.
1) Humor is subjective, if you do not like my humor, I will probably think of you as a pompous ass. And you will think of me as a loser. Live with it. I am funny to those I want to be funny to. As for clogging every possible thread. I believe you are letting Hyperbole make your point for you, invalidating it. Do not call me on numbers, but I would not be supprised if almost all of the posts you seem to call full of JARGON from myself are infact CF based. So sometimes I talk a certain way. Deal. I have answered as many cf questions as you. And I will use your excuse, I post an aweful lot. Sure some of my posts are going to lack having much in the way of redeaming qualities...but damn blade, you admited it...you do the same stuff to Arolin....baseless or not, let he who is without sin cast the first fucking rock. I have given out what I have seen as good advice. When people joke with me on the forum, I will joke back. period. Ok, from now on, noone put any humor in their posts, and I will not put humor in mine...hell, I have never seen any in Blades, well, anything that looks like humor to me.
> 3) On a related note, Grallon's tired, pathetic jabs at DIKU lost what limited luster they ever had months ago. There is a time to let go of a joke. Endlessly repeating an unfunny joke doesn't make it better. On the contrary, actually.
2) Ok, I am outa line. I know a number of people who get hearty chuckles out of what I post, I realise that it went to far. So your opinion is they are not funny....what is your point there?
> 4) I come here to read CF-related material. I make an effort to answer good questions as I see them, if I know the answer. I am critical, and often sarcastic, but there is a lot of useful CF content in my posts. Yes, I post cheap shots as well. (Cross-search my handle with the word "Arolin".) But I post an awful lot, and most of them are 100% CF content, and I keep the others to a minimum.
3) here you admit to being a pot...then commence to talk shit about the kettle. I make an effort to. I answer any cf related post that has a question if I think I have any knowledge that may help someone out. So What if I talk a certain way, or my particular brand of sarcasm goes along with it. You will find VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY few of my posts have no cf relation whatsoever (ok, the army jargon between myself and those who I do NOT know that also know what I have gone through...that was a bit over the line). For you to blanket all of my posts because you do not like my method of posting is well...hypocritical seeing what you do to Arolin/Asihara. Lighten up. If you are not so buisy taking umbrage at my tone/humor, you will find that beneath there is an attempt to share what little cf knowledge I have...if you can not handle this like an adult...instead of getting pissed off and calling for all my posts to be deleted...then I pity you.
> 5) I hate to break it to you, but the days of the average person thinking of army soldiers as Lofty Heroic Types are over. Most of us don't really care what gun you have, or what tank they let you drive. It's a job. I don't bore you with the details of my job, even though it would let me use lots of obscure words and acronyms as well. Don't bore me with yours. I am sure there is some Army Stories Forum somewhere for people who want to hear about these things. Go there.
4) I touched on this above. So when another poster comes out with army stuff, I am happy to see another who knows the same things I have gone through, and we shake hands by grunting...so what, tim allen does it, monkeys do it. Any Human male does it. I agree, it was taken to an extreme it should not have, but you are overreacting to an extreme with this post.
> Clear? If I'm off base, let the VIP flames burn my sorry hide right here in front of everyone, and Grallon can post "Leg (n/t)" the way Gharik posted "Fake Post" 400 times. Bring it on.
5) Again, you use Hyperbole to give greater validity to your spazzing over a little thing. I posted leg twice. period. So maybe once was enough to get my point across, it was an attempt to lighten up the mood. This is a fucking game. You are getting to bent out of shape by this.
Here we are. Living in the United States of the Offended. Where everyone has a right to get pissed off. Well guess what Blade. You talk some good chit here on the forum sometimes...but I have zero respect for someone who has to get all bitter about this kind of piddly shit.
1) If you do not want this kind of thing to be posted...then say so. "thats what I did"...No. You did not say so...you disparaged my and my friends intelligence, in an effort to belittle us into silence, where a simple request would have done the job.
2) I see you post things where the only thing it has to do with cf, is the fact that the person you are belittleing happens to play cf. A Hypocrite is one step above a rapist in my book...a small step.
