It was just as easy for him to overreact as was anyone else who zeroed in on his use of civil liberties and ignored the rest.

But I guess it's a hard concept for some people to move on with the discussion.

If he's trying to move the discussion forward, you're (general) not doing the thread any favors.

This discussion should be about the EULA.

1.) Start thread by tossing bomb.
2.) Wait for dozen plus pages reacting to said bomb throwing.
3.) Play victim card that nobody is taking topic seriously.
4.) Profit?

You forgot the bit about posting it at a weekend when the Mods are away

one can easily salvage a thread that started off bad, but people have to stop acting stupid first, especially when the person who started the thread seems to at least try to be moving forward.

anyhow...lets see if the stupid prevails and this thread keeps spiraling downward.

Weird concept? That people may not want to give up certain rights to play a game? How is that weird?

You are asking GG a rational question, bravo good sir I applaud your humor.

If you wanted a serious debate you shouldn't have used the "I'm quitting bit" in your original post. That set it up as simply trolling and not a desire for a serious discussion and setup the mockery. Had you simply posted the original post and said you where concerned it would have gone more the way you claim to have wanted it to go.

Pretty much this. As a long time player Westly KNOWS the type of style that will get an actual discussion going.

he posted in the manner he did in the OP and is surprised the thread devoled into a troll thread?

yep trolling.

EDIT: Also he posted saying he used the term incorrectly to get an emotional response, but is surprised that the RATIONAL response he got was folks saying he didn't know what he was talking about in the way he used the term incorrectly.

Yep trolling.

Also is my memory off, but isn't ADMITTING that you were trolling basically an actionable (aka forum temp ban) offense if the mods choose to exercise that option? (A couple of other things in this thread are too, but lets leave that alone for now. lol) Though since his posting privileges are about to run out kinda pointless to actually ban him.

not delusional, just persistent

I probably would have passed this thread over if I didn't come across the post making a blanket comment of people on Unleashed being "racist for the sake of being racist."

Any way back to our discussions of man love:

I'm surprised no one has come up with silly joined names like "Brangelina" for some of these pairings.

C'mon folks you can do better for a troll thread.

To be honest some of the stuff that goes on on Unleashed wouldn't pass muster here. And some comments made there could be construed as racist. Doesn't mean I agree with that idea that everyone there is.

But it surprises you in a thread that start off asking to be a troll thread?

LOL. That is all.

AKA: Don't start the thread off in d-bag ville and expect it to get out of it. Welcome to the Internet.

EDIT: I will say that it got a nice response from Zwill which cleared some things up and showed that the paranoia in the OP wasn't justified and showed once again that there are better ways to state a concern than posting like a troll (See UberGuy's way of posting concerns). /shrug

Knowing somewhat how Westley thinks, I'm not surprised, he doesn't think like most normal people and understandably so.

I didn't bat a eyelash at his civil rights remark, since that was only a fragment of a bigger issue that he and other people have.

He could have let Zwill just lock the thread or just nuke it from orbit (since that's the only way to make sure). Judging from the edit allowed to the OP, there is room for a civil discussion.

Not justifying the troll, but everybody at some point needs to get over themselves.
