saying "mute" at the end of every message is a very feminine thing to do, thats probably why people assume you are female, I sure did also
I havent insulted anyone, I just referred to the brown-nosers, and some others (including you) have come out and put that label on themselves, I didnt put that label on anyone.
When I talk about the brown-nosers, I'm not talking about people who just support Cu, I'm talking about the people who seem so in love with him that they come across as very condescending toward other people who may want to get involved, which discourages participation, which would seem to be the exact opposite of what a game like this is all about.
I think if you read my posts, you would see those are the people I'm talking about.
It may have not taken 3 days to find rev2 without the ignorant input from some people.
I am a fan of Cu Roi, but I also like to keep some perspective, unlike some others

Thats the only time we suggested people not go.
Hell even Frank, bless his dead soul, said it was stupid to go into the park at night.
So are we getting married or not, Chixor. I'm getting impatient and I don't like waiting.

Maybe if you read some of the posts and stopped being the way you are, things wouldn't be so hard for you. I like your insult brand of non-insulting, though. Not condescending at all. Maybe watch the video where it wasn't just Cu who found a drop, but another member...a stranger to him, that he met while looking and they shared the drop. Oh, no, can't do that...ihavenopantson wrote:saying "mute" at the end of every message is a very feminine thing to do, thats probably why people assume you are female, I sure did also

Signing your handle (or an abbreviation of it) to your posts is feminine? News to me, and I've been doing it since the dialup BBS days.ihavenopantson wrote:saying "mute" at the end of every message is a very feminine thing to do, thats probably why people assume you are female, I sure did also
No... Not insulting at all... By that logic, racists aren't actually being racist when using derogatory terms towards minorities in general. After all, they never used the term on a specific person. But if you'd just watch them interact, you'd know which ones they're talking about.ihavenopantson wrote:I havent insulted anyone, I just referred to the brown-nosers, and some others (including you) have come out and put that label on themselves, I didnt put that label on anyone.
Site one case where someone has been condescending towards another with regards to retrieving a drop. Yes, they may have encouraged others to wait for Cu, but I have not once seen anyone do it in a condescending manner. The only time I've seen anyone get condescending is in dealing with the people who accuse Cu of having something to do with the PMs.ihavenopantson wrote:I'm talking about the people who seem so in love with him that they come across as very condescending toward other people who may want to get involved
'mute (oh no.... Despite nearly 2 decades of signing off like that, it's now suddenly "feminine!" What am I to do?!)
Edit: Yes, that last bit after my sig is supposed to be condescending.

that is just my theory on why I assumed you were female, not that you sign an abbreviation, but because 'wintermute' isnt a very manly kind of a handle to use.wintermute wrote:Signing your handle (or an abbreviation of it) to your posts is feminine?

It's just a theory, I hope you dont get bent out of shape over it.
thats not a fair comparison, because it comes down to opinion on weather someone is a brown-noser or not, whereas a black person IS a black person.wintermute wrote:No... Not insulting at all...

So you dont know who Im talking about when I say brown-nosers, so I havent really insulted anyone.
I already gave examples of such behaviour earlier in this thread.wintermute wrote:Site one case where someone has been condescending towards another with regards to retrieving a drop.

the worst case of it was in the revelation 2 thread.
