I'll put in a call to Rupert Murdoch, perhaps he can help, yeah?

August 31, 2012. A Day that will Live in Infamy. Or Information. Possibly Influence. Well, Inf, anyway. Thank you, Paragon Studios, for what you did, and the enjoyment and camaraderie you brought.
This is houtex, aka Mike, signing off the forums. G'night all. - 10/26/2012
Well... perhaps I was premature about that whole 'signing off' thing... - 11-9-2012
As much as the majority of us view them as scum that's more evil than the devil himself, any dirt found would likely be uninteresting.
Just a bunch of no-fun-allowed stiffs.
Well given they are based in Korea, some of that stuff might be hard to comeby if at all. But I see where you are getting at and it's a extreme drastic measure of thought, but might actually shine the spotlight on the company that is relatively unheard of.
But things like that is a legal tightrope walk and I wouldnt use the word "blackmail" persay as I think that is illegal and sure that NCSoft have skilled lawyers in that department.
And unless COX was some how an illegal trade deal, which it probably may not be, then I think even if you uncover the dirt of mass murders and torture of employees, they still would shutdown COX, even if to cover the legal costs. Plus these things happen all the time in the gaming world. The grime reaper of MMO just so happened to pay us a visit. Remember 8 years is remarkable for an online game. Most dont even last 3 years, a few make it past 4, and even fewer see the 6th annual.

This is a nuclear option, and I don't know why you'd even playfully bring it up.

I'll take note of that. On the COH board only that that matters is being right and the other person being wrong. Duly noted.

Legacy is like that normally. Nothing serious.

Language is a tool. It needs to be used correctly to be most effective. Imagine someone writing a heartfelt appeal to the CEO of NCSoft with various errors and misuse of words. It loses impact.

And to add statement was not for impact either. Like I said earlier, please please do not make this into a big deal. Just let it go. It isnt that serious. So I mispelled persay big deal, get over it please.

But sometimes drawing attention to it is more fun! Esepcially when you don't have a dog in the horse race

We want real action? We want COX to remain open? well I don't think these petitions are cutting it.
Time for the juicy stuff. Compromising pictures, dirty credit card statements, unlawful phone records to name a few. Blackmail is what I'm getting at, any paparazzi or P.I.s play We need dirt and we need it NAO!!!!!!!!!! |

You could have not responded to his post. On the internet, the more you say something isn't a big deal and to not worry about it, the more everyone thinks they need to make a big deal about it and worry about it (because you drew attention to it). The way you actually accomplish that, is to simply move on and don't acknowledge it.
|
I didnt draw attention to "per say". It was a mere misspelling in a text, nothing more. Like would it have killed them to not even bother pointing it out, like they do on most postings? I doubt they would have dropped dead if they let it go but no they chose to make a deal out of it, over nothing.
The rules shouldnt only apply to me. I'm the one that is not to respond but yet, they can respond all they like without anyone saying a word to them about it. People can make misspellings all they desire to make, but they cant overlook one simple mistake in my post. To me, that is making a deal out of mistake, a type that most people here tend to make, but yet they chose me and only me to point it out because it would be detrimental to their health to let it go otherwise.

True but at the same time, they forget they dont have to respond to mine if one misspelling make it THAT hard to read what I'm typing and trying to get across.

My point is, if you didn't want it to derail your point, then don't respond to it. It might be tempting to respond, to defend your honor or whatever the hell reasoning we tell ourselves, but it's simply counter productive. Consider it as a variant of the Streisand Effect.

It takes two to tango.

I get what you are saying. It do get tiring always expected to be the "better" person when someone brings some nonsense your way. Just wish less of these bums stop starting crap with me and for once be mature and at least make a feeble attempt to be the better person for once and dont start nonsense in the first place and STICK TO THE FLACKING subject instead of nit picking every little thing, especially stuff that is irrelevant.

But, is it starting crap? Some are clearly intended to elicit a response, but others aren't necessarily. What was Ironblade's intention? Was it "haha ur dumb!"? Was it to correct something that's 'misspelled' (does using the wrong word(s) really qualify as misspelling?) nearly as often as it's spelled correctly? |
The way it looked and given the situation and lack of frequency he corrects other people's misspellings and or wrong word usage, it did come off as you quoted "haha ur dumb." If that is not the intentions, then I think answers to my questions would clear that up because that is how exactly it seemed to me.
And clear example of what I'm talking about.

And I dont see him within an hour tripping over himself trying to correct her, actually he didnt bother to correct her at all. In fact no one did. Yet, it's a capital offense if I misuse it.
