Random Ranting
Talk about any off-topic material that does not fit in other categories. You can talk about anything from a cool game online that you saw recently, or something that you saw on TV. (This section does not raise your post count!!!)


Now some people mustn't know that part exists...

(This thread promotes positive conversation and only a gump would close it)

You can talk about anything and everything in RR.
I don't see why you mods are closing the topic; did you forget the rules or something?

No one closed the topic, at least not that I know of, I been posting nonsense all day.

Speaking of which: If Random Ranting was a pre-1985 Arcade Game character, would it speak Drow and if so would it have anything informative to say?

and... DISCUSS!

yes i closed it, because i was under the impression that LM was not a place for crap anymore. random ranting yes, but when it descends into mush, whats the point?

The complaints before were, im sure connected to this type of thread and the other one that wobbles started. i thought you didnt want that anymore...

anyway, point taken, RR will be given a wider berth from me now :)

A Forest Gump? I hear they are much more friendly than your average desert gump or sea gump (aka mergump). However, the nicest gumps by far are the elusive deep gumps that live in the Underdark. They are blind but have excelent tremor sense when standing on there heads, hence the opposable toes and prehensile kneecaps.

Anyway, to the point (I won't name any names because names are evil).

Someone first gave me a warning for saying "I can't catch", Because obviously not being able to catch is against rule number 8 ( http://bluestarnet.com:1000/forum/index.php?showtopic=20 )

I then Told this someone, that I comprehended what he was telling me (even though I really didn't, so what, I'm a liar) and adressed him as "Leader, His Name Here" (In german.  If you didn't know, my family is entirely german)

After which he gave some big speech about xenophobia and some dictators' names, (Fidel Castro, Ioseph Stalin, and Benito Mussolini) with some unclear link to me and my assumed xenophobia, because everyone knows everything about me on the internet.

This thread was intended to remind this unknown person that I was not breaking any rule - I did not post while angry. I did not post any profanity, sexist, racist, or otherwise demeaning material.  I did not disrespect the opinions of others (I'll get to this one soon).  I was not in any post-number contest that I am aware of.  I did not request to be an admin.  I did not spam, by definition, anything [ http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=spam ].  I did not openly complain about anyone.  Lastly, I did not post any warez.

Now back to the "Respecting the opinions of others" part.   The unknown person who suspended me for three days... did not suspend me for breaking rules, (you can check this by going to the thread "420!" ( http://bluestarnet.com:1000/forum/index.ph...opic=1755&st=30 ), that I didn't break rules)  but rather, he suspended me for my opinions.  Therefore breaking rule number three himself.

Wait a second... that wasn't off-topic! Get back to the gumps man! THE GUMPS! Oh wait, if you got back to the gumps it wouldn't be off-topic, or... wait a minute. Is it off-topic to go back onto an off-topic topic?

This thread is in two parts.  The serious part, and the gump part. Do not worry if a non-gump post comes, or an overly gumpy post comes.

Whew! That's a load off my gump!

Speaking of which, I have just discovered the shadow gumps, they dwell on the Plane of Shadow and can't cast spells with the "light" descriptor but are otherwise like forest gumps.

Cab.

You're not very bright.

You spammed and you made light (which to me is direspectful) of my post which was a serious issue.
If you find this unfair you are more than welcomed to visit other boards.
Your german needs brushing up on, cause your comment was quite insulting as well.

Plus you capitalized Fuhrer, which turns into into a proper noun, which directly relates to Hitler who is the only person one to take that word as a title. Stop being dumb.  

You're mincing words.

Please calm down.

1) Cabazon may have used a better word.
2) This is random ranting.
3) I will end up moving this to flame wars, if it continues.

Thank you.

Because you weren't being tyranical or anything, right?

Informing people that I can't catch, is such terrible spam is it not?   How about you click on my link to that wonderful site which defines spam.   Find "Inability to catch" under that.

spam



1. <messaging> (From Hormel's Spiced Ham, via the Monty Python
"Spam" song) To post irrelevant or inappropriate messages to
one or more Usenet newsgroups, mailing lists, or other
messaging system in deliberate or accidental violation of
netiquette.

Quote
netiquette

The conventions of politeness recognised on Usenet and in
mailing lists, such as not (cross-)posting to inappropriate
groups and refraining from commercial advertising outside the
biz groups.

The most important rule of netiquette is "Think before you
post". If what you intend to post will not make a positive
contribution to the newsgroup and be of interest to several
readers, don't post it! Personal messages to one or two
individuals should not be posted to newsgroups, use private
e-mail instead.

Posting "I can't catch" in response to my post was completely irrelevant in the context of that topic.  Also you had no intention of making a positive
contribution
to the topic.  Hence you SPAMMED

You're owned Cab...now focus on something more productive than arguing with me.
Accept what you did and just think twice before making a dumb post right after an Admin or Mod disciplines another member.

PS. There is no more Flame Wars thread

It was so irrellivent you mentioned CATCH and I as well mentioned CATCH.  That definition allows for spam to be purely opinionated.
