    Your mistakes have been corrected in bold or questioned as to intent. I read and write quite well, in fact I have poetry that has been published on several occasions, and even I have issues making sense of what you write. Out of curiousity...is English not your first language? I am just curious as your grammar and spelling are about on par with what I have seen from people who learned the English language in Mexico and didn't really pay much attention. Something on par with people who take spanish in this country for the most part.
    Good. you highlighted all the mistakes. Done it to anyone else lately? According to your post history as I recall, not lately. Or am I just your "special" case? If so, just in case I didnt make myself clear, if you are here to help by all means. If you are here to single me out from thread to thread, I prefer you not to do that. If this is your way of "helping", then that is the part I'm confused about because I dont see it. Even with this post, you havent said anything about the the content. You just made highlights of the mistakes. So how, from your point of view if I was you, here to just highlight the mistakes in your post, shall I take this? As help? I'm not seeing it. Would you see it as help or just someone else here to start trouble?
    So just in case I still wasnt clear. Leave it be.

Bolded the part relevant to being constructive.
    Not how I understood constructive critisism.

    Guess you're right about that part. Those things can be written pace.

    Do they know it was an accident? Many times inthese situations, someone "accidential" bump into you and they look at you like you done them wrong. If I accidentialy bump into someone in a grocercy stor with my cart I make sure to make my intentions of lack of in this case, [b]clear[b]. And even then, what is clear to me may not be clear to anyone else but either way I would just try to understand where they are coming from instead of totally flat out saying their way of thinking is wrong. Like what happened here to me. This is like like someone bumping into me with their cart maybe accidentially and I inquire about it and they dont make their intentions clear or just continue to bump into me, even though maybe the first one was accidential in their eyes.

    If the intentions of the first was a little bit more clear and or the others didnt come off as straight rude, then I probably would of fixed it.


    It's like if I'm walking down the street and drop my bag and you go rush and pick it up and I mace you, with a full can. You'd probably be like what in the hell!. Then how do you know I wasnt robbed in that same manner last week? How do you know I dont have have trust issues. How do you know you didnt startle me? On the other end how would I know you didnt have intentions especially if I didnt call out for help and here's this strange person looking like they trying to snatch my bag. Especially it wouldnt help if five other people near by, some ya was closer to, dropped their bag and you totally ignored them.

    Or more direct to this post and thread. How is it I'm expected to understand everyone but none even bother giving a sliver to time to understand me?

    That is the basis of help. In order to help anyone, whether it is somone stranded on the road, a patient, co-worker, boss, neighbor, or kid, you must understand how that person needs help. It may not always be in the manner that you first view they need help. The most important thing is to [b] listen[b] and make at least a feeble attempt to undertand the person you're tryign to help as they might be trying to tell you that you are not helping them. Or like how some people open car doors for their female partners. Some ladies, like me, love that and think that is one of the greatest show of chivalry and thoughfulness i nthe world. Others, will take great offense to it as if you are saying they cant get their own door. Are they wrong for thinking that? I dont think so, no more wrong than thinking it's a good thing. And if that person makes it clear that either they dont appreciate the help you have to offer, or dont need help, the proper thing to do would be [b]leave it alone[b] and not get the mindset that "Oh that girl is crazy. I'ma open her car door anyways She is GOING to take my help whether she like it or not." Then of course they person probably goign to get rude with you, when it was best to have just left it alone anyways even if it worked on hundreds of girls. Maybe this particular one isnt into that. If the person cant respect their wishes, why would they turn around and thank you for the "help" if you not trying to understand where they are coming from. Then expect them to understand where you are coming from. Its works two ways or it wont work. As seen here. In the end, help is wasted, and the person trying to "help" probably wont want to help that person again even if they was drowning, and the person the "help" was intended for probably will be defensive everytime you come around thinking you have more "help" to shove down their throat. And that is how it will be unless there is an understanding.

    Here, if no one is bothering to understand me, then they wil never get the "help" in the proper way and will continue to come off as rude, brash, boorish, and or insulting because they wont take two secs to listen and see where I'm coming from.

    I'm reaching out, and if my hand gets burnt then last time I will do this. I see where people are coming from and Rangle already made his intentions clear now. So no point in bringing that up again, as that is done. Some people on here havent made themselves clear other than appearing to be here just to start trouble. And a few new comers, I dont know what to make of their intentions so I'm playing the wait and see if they will clarify. At the same time, actually read what I'm saying, Understand where I'm coming from. If you cant, then what is the point of having this convo any further besides to just be talking in circles because that is going to be where it goes. Understanding doesnt mean agreeing but dont there is clear lack of understanding when all my views is immediately put down as wrong, being over-sensative, and etc. long list of names. I think I've been called everything but a flower so far it seems. Yet those same people expect me to turn around and reconize that as "help"? If a person bumped into me and startedto say I'm being oversensative and they was just trying to help and I'm wrong for being there. Think I really going to think they bumped into me on accident? Same thing here. If they say soemthing percieved as rude and they say it aint and wonder why I thought it was rude and they immediately dismiss my view as wrong but their's right, think I'm going to think they was being rude on accident? Or better yet just flip it around and if I was offering yet and it came off as rude even though I couldnt see how, and when you tried explaining how it was rude, I said that you are being over-sensative get over it, ya crying whining, making a fuss, your view is wrong, would you think I was being rude on accident or just merely trying to help? I doubt it.

    You're reaction however was or appeared to be overly sensitive. And yes, people reacted to your reaction sometimes in kind, others were harsh because it is the internet and people can be insensitive on the internet.

    People didn't retype your thread post pointint out all the errors though, they offered broad advice.

    Later you state that since everyone makes mistakes, they're basically being hypocritical in pointing out yours and that anyone who offers advice should take their own.

    The difference with these points of view are that others weren't saying "be perfect!", but instead offered advice for your posts to be easier to read.

    Charnage later asked for your help with his grammar / spelling errors - basically seeking specific instances.

    You only offered broad strokes of "your content". Which implies either the information of Charnage posts was entirely wrong, or his posts contained so many errors that it was difficult to read. Which wasn't the answer he was looking for, he wanted specifics.

    When I come into the thread to offer friendly advice, you don't reply with any sense that anything you've done even might be in the slightest way wrong.

    Those few people that offered contructive criticism in the beginning, in particular Rangle, you replied to them with derision.

    Saying things like "this is a take it or leave it situation" or "this aint english class" "im not getting paid for it". Is completely dismissive toward those that offered in no offensive way pointed out what it was difficult to read what you wrote.

    This is a forum for discussion, and it has been stated previously, presentation does matter. Imagine if you're in a room, I walk in, open my mouth to talk, but speak the same language, but at a clipped pace with slang and speed at which you're unfamiliar with.

    When I'm done speaking, you reply "I didn't understand that, you spoke too quickly and in a manner that was difficult to comprehend. Next time it might be more helpful if you at least slow dow."

    Then I reply by stating, "whatever, you don't get it."

    That's how this originally went down. Or at least, that's how it reads.
    contructive criticism- Usually contstructive critisism includes some positive comments, or else it's just critisism and or negative criticism. And as you mentioned that my broad advice which Which implies either the information of Charnage posts was entirely wrong, or his posts contained so many errors that it was difficult to read. Which wasn't the answer he was looking for, he wanted specifics. But I wasnt? I just wanted to hear about only the errors?

    The posting that have been given came off far off as "construstive." If at least came off as just critisism. Like I mentioned before, if he would of added some things about the post and or saying, "Hey I liked this and that but what can make it better is this and that." Then yeah, construtive criticism. "Hey you have errors in your post." Criticism. That's is how I viewed it to come off as.

    And like the example, maybe so but in person there are a lot of varibles and some people will just say forget it if you respond that way. I've seen it happen many times here in real life. Spanish speakers, just the way they talk and some one says soemthing like that, assuming they are that nice about it, and the other person will literally say just that and walk off. It might be the way that they talk and they know not many other ways. Or maybe it was their few times trying out English and as "helpful" as that reply might have been in the person's head, it may have ended up interepreted as "Dang, that's what I get for trying to speak English." And some people that come here and wonder why so many people speak spanish even though they can speak some English is because of those reasons in that example. Here online words is words, there is no pace, there is no saying it again as they words will still be there, and if if needs a read over once more it is possible even without the other person needing to repeat.
    And of course it was dismissive. If feel at the time they was not coming off in a friendly, helpful manner, I will be dissmissive. Probably for the first few times. The nafter a while if it continues, then I might get rude. Then after a while I'll turn the tables. People want to come here and criticise my posts, let me point out their errors that they missed will they was busy pointing at mine. There are ways to do things. And maybe a quick read up on Constructive Criticism would help many people here. And that is not to be rude at all. I'm for real. Because what works for one person and is gladly accepted by one person may come off to the other person as beign boorish to another. Just like you said my example with Charnage was different and seems to me like yo uthink it was meant to come off as offensive and rude and harsh. Nope that was not the intentions, only difference was that it was to try out a point. See, you say when given the same advice I was being oversensative, yet, when that same advice is passed on from me, to someone else, it's different story. and what you describe how it came off to Charnage is exactly how I felt it came off to me in the firts post. But at this point it's almost beatign a skelaton of a horse as Rangle already explained he was doing it to be rude and that was the end of it as far as viewing it being rude. Now it's about these loose ends that keep fraying up. I guess I made myself clear now and now people see how I felt. Even you stated, for Charnage, if it is possibel for it to come off to him like that in that manner you described why is it totally impossible for me to view it that way and feel that way? I gave him the name of the threads, just like posting in this thread pointed to the title. I even pointed out it was in the content of the posts which was assumed to be pointed out by the posting of that thread here. So I see no difference between my pointing it and it being pointed out here. Only other difference is that I said it here to him instead of on his thread. Same amount of information in the same way that was presented to me.

    We're not going to change her mind. She's been backed into a corner like a cat, and even if anyone wanted to help her, she'll take a swipe at you. Even if she was willing to step back, re-evaluate, and come up with a different conclusion about a few of us, I seriously doubt she'd be willing to openly admit it after all this fuss. (Her conclusions about a few of you, I'm not sure I would disagree with.) Stop trying to convince the colorblind they're seeing things wrong!

    Continuing to provoke her won't solve anything either. All it does is make a few of you look bad, if not worse.

    Evil, if you want to keep thinking I was rude and disrespectful, go for it. I've got big shoulders and a thick skin. (My wife would include a thick skull as well, but that's a different story. ) Maybe in 6 months you'll look back and realize I wasn't. Who knows, maybe a few years down the line you'll kick me in the shins at a Player Summit while yelling at me with invectives. Whatever let's you sleep at night.

    I will say this, if you're only interested in putting out information and not concerned about a dialog, you may wish to look into blogging like others have here. You can always put links to your blog in your sig. You'll probably have greater control over who can, or cannot reply to your blogging. Until you find a way to be less defensive about things, you'll probably continue to have a rough time here with the waves you create for yourself. (Even though you don't see that you are creating most of them.) I can tell you're smart enough to see that, if you'd only let yourself.

    Everyone else, go home.
    Corrected anyone else posts lately, or is mine still the last one? But seeing how you aint one of the regulars, if you say you wasnt trying to be rude, then you wasnt.

    My conclusion about you havent change from before you even posted in this thread. I think this is just one of those cases that we crossed the wrong path at the wrong time. I'm sure we'll meet on better terms under better circumstances on other posts, Rangle.

    Going to check out that blogging thing. That dont sound like such a bad idea at all actually.

    And you;re right, i've been backed into a corner. And like most living creatures, when backed into a corner they will feel there is nothign more to lose and face their attackers regardless of the number of foes. But I think I'm out the corner now and those few trouble makers, I think that situation is being dealt with as we speak. I havent seen them in a bit so maybe it already has in one way or another.

    But in six months I probably wont even be thinking of this thread and probably wont go to any summit, not with some of these people aroudn or else I probably will find myself in a jail cell. Then again, I bet 98% of those same people would act meek as hell in person and wouldnt have the nuts or tits to say half the stuff they be saying on here. I wasnt losing sleep either way though but I look forward to seeing you on future posts on much better terms.

    Which seems to say that you find issue with my content.

    Yet, you make no attempt to show me my mistakes. Just the entire post is wrong?

    Which makes me wonder how much time you spend reading what other people have written, and to what end?

    Is this behavior acceptable to you?

    Would you stop reading everthing I post if I told you it made me uncomfortable?
    Wow sounds just like me. Hey, no one pointed out the particular mistakes on my posts. They just said basically what I said. There are mistakes in the post content.

    I told you that this behavior is one I viewed unacceptable but seems to me that most people on this thread said I was being overly sensative and throwing a fit.

    But again, it's ok for people to do it to me but not me to do it?

    Once again, now you know how I feel and you reacted the same way, the same way that people said was over sensative, rude, wrong perception, and one even went said it was trolling.

    But yeah if it makes you uncomfortable, like some people have been doing to me in the past, I'll stop. See it's no fun when the tables are turned.

    You threw a little hissy fit with your lacy skirts all up over your head and your make up getting all splotchy and tried to pull this "poor pitiful widdle me" act as if any of us even knew who you were before you tossed your giant wall of text at us.
    Well first of all I didnt toss anything at anyone. I wrote something, and stuff was tossed at me. And yes, there are some people stalking but that situation is being delt with.
    And if humans make mistakes, what was the big deal about my mistakes? Oh right, it's no big deal because they wasnt YOUR mistakes. And when I did point out your mistakes, no you didnt just shrug and moved on. You threw the troll word out there. So yea, I see how your mindset is. You are allowed to point out other people's mistakes but when someone points out yours, all of a sudden they are a troll. Guess me and you are done here. Your replies speak for itself.

    You have become a cautionary tale, as far as I'm concerned. You are now the troll in your own thread just attacking who ever or whatever moves or is shiny.

    Seriously, darlin... you let the internet know they can make you mad or hurt your feelings and you are just asking for constant trouble. Personally, I don't like constantly fighting in every thread I'm in. If you do, then being overly reactionary and hypersensitive is exactly the right way to go about it.

    Wait now see this is what I was talking about. It's ok that people point out my mistakes, and when I say something, I'm the one that is rude. Now, that I point out your mistakes, I'm a troll. That's a little hypocritical I think. My my point is proven. It's ok for everyone else but it's problem when I do it. Go figure. Now you know how I feel. You apparently dont like people pointing out your errors, and you went as far as calling me a troll for it. Maybe we on the same page and this nonsense will stop.

    But you might want to check your own grammar and spelling on posts like "TOP TEN THINGS TO NOT DO ON A iTRIAL". for example. It's kind of hard to read with them mistakes, if I was to use your logic.

    Or even your post on "Re: Crab Spider build challenge - with prize!" could use a little editing. There are spelling and grammar mistakes there too.

    Remember, just trying to help people out like they "helped" me. I expect a thank you and foot kiss from you too. According to some posters here, that is what is required in return when someone point out the mistakes in your posts.

    And since you want to talk about grammar and spelling, you in the past have many many yourself. In the thread that is named, Ressubed to VIP, account accidentally lapsed. Now Im VIP again but all slots locked, one of your post have two grammar mistakes.

    In another random post that I came across named, Re: Discussion: Introducing Tweet Code Thursdays! Your post have two grammar mistakes and one spelling mistake. And both of these are very short posts.

    Now in a thread that you started with a good length, there was bunch of grammar and spelling mistakes in it. The one I'm refering to is named Sooner Nation-Fiction.

    So it might be best that you check your own stuff before poking fun at other people's mistakes. In a sec I can have the exact number of mistakes in that post if you like. But really, again, not a single post about those mistakes and there are a bunch there.

    Hey just returning the kind of help that people give me. I expect a thanks and a kiss of the foot like they expect out of me for pointing out the mistakes.

    padding thread count. lol. that's funny right there when you have people with over 400 one word posts on those posts like "first word that comes to mind" or "pick one choose three." There are quite easy wand more simple ways to pad thread count.

    Your posts to tend to contain a number of gramatical errors ranging from spelling, word choice, to phrasing and at times sentence structure. Personally, I tend to overlook such things on an internet forum as the person posting may not be a native speaker of the language posted. Or their poorer standard of writing may be influenced by any number of factors.

    As such, try not to take insult from anyone's statements with regards to your writing skills. If, however, you believe yourself capable of improving, may I suggest you do a couple of things before finalyzing your post.

    First, use line breaks at least after every several sentences. While in writing a paragraph is typical a minum of three sentences, forum posting is more free form. A single sentence followed by a line break and two sentences is okay.

    Second, use the Preview Post button and proof read what you've written. A block of text is difficult enough to read through, if it contains multiple errors within that block, it's even harder to read, and you may lose your audience.

    You can also use any number of programs to write your post in first, use a spell checker, clean up some errors, copy and paste into your forum post.

    With regards to the sense that multiple people were insulting you about the same subject:

    You have a right to feel how you feel, but that doesn't always mean how you feel is right. If you get upset at something someone says to you in a forum post (or any conversation), allow yourself time to cool off, or if your not mad or upset, then instead of becoming defensive, offer some grace toward your perceived offenders.

    Perhaps they didn't intend to offend you and any offense on their part was inadvertant. If so, a little grace and forgiveness on your part can go a long way to forge positive interactions with others intead of what amounted to in this instance, more of the same.

    Also, in a forum, or any conversation, if multiple people make similar statements directed toward you in an attempt to be helpful, even if it comes off as harsh criticism, and you feel as if you're in the "right" and their in the "wrong", look for the common denominator in the discussion.

    If multiple people say the sky is blue, and you say its teal, and you're the only saying that, perhaps there may be some merit in listening to the advice from multiple sources and re-evaluate your position.

    In the end, if you want people to be able to read what you've written particularly on a forum, make sure its as easy to read as possible.

    If people attack the information you've posted, analyze what information they provide, and if what they have is in error, politely post why and how its wrong and reiterate how your information is correct.

    However, if what they've provided proves to be of merit, thank them and apply it.

    Try to avoid getting involved with those who attack you personally. Insults that attack your person are against the forum rules, and "most" of the time that doesn't happen. If it does, disregard the poster, place them on ignore, and / or flag the post for a moderator.

    I hope this helps.
    I serious cant tell if they are trying to be helpful. The wya they come off compared to how they approach others are night and day. And this aint about the sky being blue and I'm saying it's teal. It's more saying "I'm feeling blue today" and they turning around and saying "no, you're feeling chipper and happy!" Maybe they still trying to be helpful but it's not helpful to dismiss what I see, percieve, expereince as always being automatically wrong yet I'm suppose to hold their view perspective and experiences on a high pedatstal. The thing is what they fail to realize that how I view things, percieve and expereience things may be different then most and just because three people, who may not share that particular expereince says, "No! that's not how I expereinced it so your experience is wrong!" Then when I say no my experience is not wrong, they get a fit and say "Well I was only trying to help and you throw it in my face."

    What makes their view, perception, experience, feelings, right and my automaticlly wrong because three or even four didnt expereince it? Maybe my perception isnt right all the time, but who is. That is what is the buggered up part about this whole nonsense. I'm expected to take their view and shoot my own view, a view that I know and I seen, compared to one I can only see the words, and go with it especially when these people give not a single regard not once or even an attempt to even analyze my view or even try to see where I'm coming from outside that it's different from theirs so it's wrong but I'm suppose to take theirs to heart and cherish it.

    And with spelling like i said, there isnt many posts on here without grammatical errors. Yet, I dont see anyone one thse posters on here correcting them one by one. But they jump on mine like flies on crap. I notice things like that. And still, some of them aint bothered to go around correcting any other post since this thread on spelling an grammar but since they chose mine, I'm suppose to bow down? Riiight. I wouldnt mind it so much if it was actually a common happening. But that is like a professor saying nothing for weeks about people sleeping during his class but the one day you doze off he/she is on ya case. Then next day, says nothing to the people that doze off again. Anybody would be like "wtf". Same concept here.

    But I see what you are saying. And see, even in your post there are errors. It happens. But funny, I DONT SEE A SINGLE PERSON jumping on it at all. But they jumped on mine though. It happens but certain people act like I cant make a mistake. But look, no comments on your errors. Yeah, well better get to work on that ignore list. looks like it might get bigger.


    And about that late comer about gender thing. I have been saying "oh by the way I'ma girl." but after about the hundred time it got old so someone suggested adding it to the sig, which I did. Now I'm not sure if you was just trying to be helpful or funny or what not. Even though not sure how you conveniently caught the problem but missed the solution, but I'ma assume you was trying to be helpful and the problem already been solved.

If your experience with these forums has been consistently like this, you have to stop and ask whether it's really these shadow assassins killing your threads, or yourself. .
    Right, again, my reaction is over reaction. And this isnt self-martydom. But if that is what you really believe then that is what you believe.

    Never said it was many. just a select few. Well with that one the evidence is already there.

    I aint talking about just my information. I'm talking about information in general. But if the help that I have mostly been offered if the "best" they can do and only save the real help for others, then I guess then I might as well writer the posts for my own personal ejoyment as they dont seem to have aything useful to add. Look at the bootlleg so called help offered me then take those same people who is tryign to so called help me and took at the help they offer to others and the difference of wording and then you'll see the difference of quality of this help. Also it's better to wait until someone actually ask for for help, such as in this post, instead of just putting it upon them and thebn get dejected if they reject such help. Even if that was the case, in somewhere in this post help was asked or suggested it doesnt mean it suppose come in just any old manner. If that's the case as I said in the thread before, and the thread before. If that is the quality of help I can expect, do us both a favor and dont. I dont beleive myself no more above the help, more like I believe I deserve some semblence of respect like everyone else. If that is considered above anyone's offered help, then maybe I'm among low self-esteemed people who normally take any abuse and disrespect that comes their way. And there is nothing I can do about that.

    Well guess you got your mind made up about me, and of course, you believe you percecption of it is perfectly right and my perception of the situation is wrong. no middle ground so I guess we are done here see you in another thread. bye.
  16. [QUOTE=Rylas;4346304]TL;DR (It's R, not L) is for those really long posts. Like your OP. If you lead off with a TL;DR it gives people an idea of what's going to be discussed and might entice them to read the full thing.

    .
    I'm not doing it for the popularity or to see how many responses I get. While I prefer that it stays on topic, the show will move on either way in the next thread and so on. I dont think any thread in recent times that I made ever had more than half if even a quarter of it about the actual topic. And they was better formatted and shorter for that matter. So like I mentioned earlier people weill find an excuse to not bother with the topic. Here is just so happen to be formatting. The others, something else and so on. So more than likely if I was looking for popularity, I would be wasting my time instead of focusing on the information. And some that are very well written even in the format you mentioned, have not a single response. So people either will read it or not regardless of format, perfection of the material and so on. There are some people that follow me thread to thread just looking for trouble. Just look at past threads where it got dereailed and soon after you'll see the same people over and over again.

    Information is never wasted. The information is out there, either way, just some wont contribute anything to thread useful either way.

    Well there is always somone out there that think anything is too long. Hell I bet if I made a post that said, "uggg and rawr" some one would say "that is too long. Can you shorten it to just 'ug'?"
    Some of those TL;DL wouldnt read it anyways, or find some other reason to not read it.
    From what I experienced on this forum and percieved, there is no way to please everyone. Even if you gave them everything in the world they still would not be pleased. So why bother with them, bending backwards twice over for them if they wont even give you a simple nod? Or change just so they can find something else about it to complain about?
    In short my writings is not for everyone just as there are many posts out there that are not for me. I dont go on there saying, "hey change this change that so I can read it or demanding they should of done it this way or that way." They probably would say the same thing I said. "maybe it wasnt meant for you to read this post." And no one on here would say they are being rude about it.

    I think some of their past posts, some on other threads, made it pretty clear, especially "paranoid", "crazy", "stupid", "ignorant", even monkey and more than that. Not sure what perception is suppose to be developed from stuff like. What would you think? It's constructuive critism? But thier perception of me being rude is correct and mine perception of them being rude is wrong. It figures. Just like one of the things I was talking about. Thier perception of what I say and write is ALWAYS right and my perception is always wrong. I think it's a little grating and rude to suggect that my perception is inferior to anyone elses. I'm sure you wouldnt appreciate someone coming up to you and saying something derogatory and kicking you. Then when you speak on it, someone says "Your perception is inferior to everyone else. They percieved you was looking at them wrong so they kicked you but your perception of them kicking you as uncalled for is wrong. They was trying to help you." How would you react and feel?

    Always add a TL;DR section when you've made a super long post. Not everyone on the forums has time to waste. Give them a synopsis (preferably at the beginning of a post) and you might just get them to read the whole thing if it sounds good enough to them.
    what the heezies is a TL;DL?

    But dont worry the answer you seek is already in the prior post. But this convo is going in circles, 6 pages worth and there is not much left to say nor explained. Got abot 6 pages of materials. Apparently the minds are made up on both side, so what is the point of even talking about it anymore? There probably isnt.
    No it's not everyone, just the same ones over and over and over. Rangle happened to be a fairly new one, one of the first new ones in a while and we'll probably cross each other's path in the future on more better terms.

    Either way I'm not going to let a relatively few people stop me from posting. There are two posts that are already written and just need to be transfered to here, and one more in the head thus far, that probably will come first.

    Well I think what I said, 6 pages of materials if anyone have more questions. See some of you hopefully on more respectful terms or not at all.

Trust me, every time I post a build up for somebody who asks for one I usually get slammed for posting some kind of crappy build that nobody in their right mind would play. Yet, it's the build I've made for myself and I play continuously and have great success with. There is a Forum Cartel on here that basically sways the opinions of people in certain directions and have, whether they choose to believe it or not, some sway over decisions on what the Devs do to "Balance" powers in this game.

    However, it is somewhat difficult to read some of your posts that you have made because they do have a tendency to look like a wall of text. Keep in mind that todays society also has the attention span of an A.D.D. Spider Monkey with a new baby cat and a trunk full of shiney new toys. Also as some have pointed out, English is not everybody's first language and makes it rather difficult for some to make the effort to read even well thought out, grammatically correct, and proplerly formatted posts.

    Now with that being said, considering your original topic about comparing Electric Armor and Will Power armor I find that Electric Armor is more of the late bloomer and end-game beast compared to Will Power. I love Electric Armor because, in my opinion, it's one of the best Resist sets that has the most utility to it. There are a lot of ways one can build for Electric Armor where most other sets are usually locked into building specifically for one thing.

    To me Will Power is a great beginning game set. I find that it's very user-friendly in the beginning because it allows you to slot for Accuracy and Damage more than trying to slot for Endurance Reduction at the start so you can manage your blue bar better. This allows you to hit harder earlier on in the game and feel like you are doing more to contribute to the team other than just being a meatshield and taunt bot.

    Over all I'd say that Electric Armor outperforms Will Power. I love my WP/SS Tank a lot and it has great survivability. But I love my Elec/TW way more and play it more often than I do my WP.
    This is something the first post should of looked like instead of coming off as it did.

    Yea anyone starting off as a tank or new to te set, you can go wrong with WP. End management is more of an after thought than the main thing like many sets, even electric. But electric end becomes after thought one power sink comes into play. There is no better control than a mob with no end. With no end, they cant attack you.
    elec/TW is a cool combo. Have you tried a electic armor/staff? Not as burst damage as TW but it's a cool looking set that still gets the job done.

    Neither Rylas nor Sailboat were disrespectful either. Many more people after that were compassionate and apologetic in their responses, trying to get you to understand why you are having issues on these boards. All of them were pointing out the difficulty you were having trying to reach an audience. In every case, you replied in extremely rude and disrespectful manner.

    No one "kicked you in the face." You did that to us with your replies, and here we are still being patient and trying to get through to you. There is no double standard here. They did not start this. This thread is not about HeroStats or how right or wrong your experience is. This thread started as "your post is difficult to read" and ended with you flailing about and screaming about disrespect.

    You need to look at the common denominator here. You are having problems with the majority of the community on these boards. You are the problem.
    nope not majority just a relative few. I handled more. Even if it was majority, that doesnt mean it's right or proper anyways. But no they was disrespectful first. That's what I'm sticking to as that is what I observed, and the observation of lack of correcting other posts but just couldnt let mine pass. So there is no way to change my perception on this because I have the posts, I have the history, and the same ones go from thread to thread posting nothing of the subject but to start trouble. How come I dont see anyone of those same ones on some of my other threads that have no response? But as soon as someone starts trouble, here they come. I have been kicked in the face by some of the very people you mentioned. And thus I kicked back. What did you expect? But I'm the problem. What ever you say. Well anyways unless anyone has anything to add about the actual content of the post, I'm done here.
    Dont disresepct me I wont disrespect you simple as that, and treat me with fairness then I'll have no problems. If ya going to jump on my post and trying to correct grammar and spelling, at least there be MAJORITY of the posts with someone correcting them. Seeing as there isnt, single me out and be rude, then dang right I'ma have problem with you and anyone else that does it.
