Topicless thread

[Pitkin]

*snip* if there was another admin policing these topics to make sure they don't devolve into random piles of buttcheek and waffle iron, then i wouldn't take matters into my own hands. *snip*

Yes, admittedly it is a dreadful mistake to believe that officially grown-ups would be able to act like real ones. Mea culpa.

Also, I find it a bit funny that the same forum which cries out "freedom of speech!" every now and then is at the same time calling for more moderation AND forbidding of unsuitable topics. This is, without any animosity, a mere observation that everyone can verify for themselves.

@leaf: certain anime can do that to you, as Jinrui did to me. what series was it?

@pit: no need to get nasty. i don't think anyone was behaving childishly, it was more a matter of heated tempers run amok. and also, i wasn't saying FORBID the topic, i'm just saying that like the topics of religion and politics, it might be one to avoid. no need to take every single word so damn literally. >>;;

as for further moderation, i say that because i asked for the grammar discussion to end in the anime topic a couple times. it's not the grammar topic, it's the anime topic. there's no sense in letting that go on, since if it did and the topic fell apart into a chaotic pile, we'd have to make a new topic to talk about anime, which theoretically could devolve again, resulting in a third anime topic, and so on. it doesn't help to have administrators/moderators when they barely post or stick to only one part of the forum.

if you don't mind my asking, do you have something against me? i've been getting that vibe recently.

Can't we all just get along? ;_________;

Seconded. I'm tired of the constant fighting already, because if I wanted that, I'd just go on the boards on GameFAQs for current game consoles >_>;

Also, Bella, I'm going to try and get your birthday gift in the mail tomorrow :3

I don't mind you asked. Nothing against you. Wouldn't marry you either: already married, you see.

edit: To answer Bella and Pentium: probably not, some personalities tend to clash, and when they don't... well, I'll figure something else.

[Chocofreak13]

when the don't clash, they're friends. or something else. something that should be saved for the relationships thread.

i wouldn't marry you either. but not for any malicious reasons. i just hate coming between people. ^^; (i've been the "other woman" before and didn't know it. when i found out it wasn't pretty. >>; )

as for getting along, i'm trying to, i really am. i don't want to fight with anyone. ;^;

The only good kind of fighting is in games like Street Fighter II, MUGEN, or Super Smash Bros. -w-

makes me wish i could get the latest edition of nijikaku to work. ><;;

OK, Let us start the end of Times, OK?

It was due to the argument between Kari and Dustii, then Kari and Alfonso, in the anime topic last weekend

It wasn't an argument in my case, was an horrible misunderstanding...

Ragebreak always comes when the circumstances around allow it. It's a very delicate process.

Usually involving people acting like jerks/morons, ne?

It wasn't dangerously bad, it's just now I feel like I'm on a drug tripp or something... muscles kinda ache and jargon. Well I guess I better go somewhere else before I start something.

If it's your first All-nighter then It gets easier to deal with 'em

Can't we all just get along? ;_________;

Getting along is usually boring...

The only good kind of fighting is in games like Street Fighter II, MUGEN, or Super Smash Bros. -w-

I will say this only once... Super Smash Bros is not a Fighting game, at least not in the spirit of SF and the rest of the 2D/3D fighters, it's more an hybrid of plataformer and button masher

makes me wish i could get the latest edition of nijikaku to work. ><;;

I downloaded it... Will try it laterzzz...

I've always considered it a fighting game, as that's what it's always labeled as everywhere. An unconventional one, yes, but a fighting game nontheless

[Bella]

This isn't aimed at anyone or anything in particular, but since we're talking about fighting, I suppose I should throw my two cents into the discussion...

I don't like fighting either. In spite of my past arguments on OSC, I've decided I ESPECIALLY don't like to fight here - since it's such a small and relatively fragile community, we should be more focused on what we have in common than what differences we have. As well, I'd like to think that clashing personalities doesn't necessarily guarantee fighting between two people - no person on earth gets along 100% well with their friends / acquaintances / comrades-in-arms and frankly I don't believe anyone should feel like they HAVE to get along perfectly with those people. As I said before, it's about finding common ground and not becoming obsessed with differences. 

Not to reopen old wounds, but this makes me think of the conflict I had with Kriz - he seems like a nice guy (well, aside from the name-calling, but that's a story for a different time) but I imagine it would be extremely difficult for me to carry on a healthy friendship with a person who believes friends cannot and should not fight. I've fought with friends for as long as I've had friends and have never thought of disagreements as a legitimate reason to end a friendship. -__-;;;

[Nichi]

True that, Bella. I mean, I've butted heads with some of you in the past, but we always manage to put aside the problems and carry on a casual conversation on food \ rabbits \ our stories \ etc. like nothing ever happened :3

if you say so...

that's why I told you so, getting along gets bohring---

[Pitkin]

Great last sentence of your post, Bella. It's very unhealthy to consider friendship or a relationship something where disagreements/outright fights never occur.

For those who disagree, I suggest we'll fight it out.

Why waste energy...?
