Is there no way to end this outside of a moderator? Heck, Ive tried several times and somebody always chymes in with another insult. I know, I know I could ignore it but think about it. If you believed you were being handed a raw deal by a group of people that were attacking you for no reason, would you just bow and walk away when they gig you one more time?

I just have to ask, are you really posing this question?

yes 2p51, to you especially as you have been one of the most aggressive. If I were to hand you an insult in this post, which I wont, something demeaning though and to your mind completely inaccurate and opinionated.. would you just ignore it and never post here again? If so, then Ill admit you are a better man than I, at least at this moment, as its very hard to take a proverbial kick to the nuts and just grin, you know? And if your answer is yes, then I have to wonder why you haven't done it already?

Uh, I did, on page three. I don't know how you feel I'm so aggressive other than pointing out you were given repeated good advice and details which you were ignoring and said I was out because you were being pedantic and childish in the other thread, mostly because you were being pedantic and childish. So I just stopped with the conversation.

My last post or two was simply quoting you on how many times you were saying you were walking away and then accusing others of not being able to let it go.

Finally on to the question. You're honestly asking if a grown adult should walk away from an argument, particularly one that is about absolutely nothing important, not in person, with no bearing on the real world what so ever.

Yes, you should.

Internetting is hard.

Boy, I am so sorry that I have run out of positive votes for the day.

OTOH, now I can honestly say that “I can’t ‘like’ this post enough”.

Good question.

If you don’t like being “gigged” by the group, and yet that is all you get every single time you post, then I have to wonder if you are capable of any kind of sane activity of any sort. After all, the definition of insanity is to keep doing the same thing repeatedly, while expecting a different result.

IMO, the more you respond in this literally insane manner, the more you prove your true trollish nature.

And I think you will find that most of us don’t respond well to being trolled, or to the trolls doing the trolling.

You are totally and completely free to leave this thread or forum any time you like. We aren’t forcing you to continue to respond.

But if you do continue to respond, and you continue to respond in the manner you have recently demonstrated, then I think I can fairly safely predict that you are unlikely to get any different treatment from the community.

It’s your choice.

Your true nature will be proven by your actions, because your words are literally indefensible.

A troll leading the trolls, or so you are claiming. I suppose your right honestly.

Fine, at the risk of completely ruining my reputation here and losing a valuable resource to ask questions, learn and socialize, Ill drop it. I think anyone that would read it through would come to their own conclusions about who needs to apologize to who but if its going to be me, then so be it.

My sincere apologies to everyone for the remarkable waste of time this thread has turned into. I also apologize for making any feel as aggravated and annoyed as I have been. Lastly I apologize for taking this long to realize the that it was going to be me that would end this ridiculous conversation all along.

I ask you not let this craziness affect your responses to me in the future. I certainly wont repeat the same mistakes I made here.

There are other trolls that we have successfully banished in the past. If you are leading more of them, then I figure we’ll probably be able to get rid of them, too.

I am glad to see that you are finally acknowledging your true trollish nature, however.

Frankly, I’d rather not have to banish anyone.

However, if you’re going to continue to be ill-behaved and lose your head when everyone else around you has done a good job of keeping theirs, then I don’t see how there could be any alternative.

Don't confuse a majority opinion with intellectual prominence. Idiots travel in groups sometimes. Not saying they are in this case, but just saying.

And with that, I'm done. Going to the "You're all a bunch of idiots because I'm to stupid to get what you're saying" well shows off your true colors. Be it that your a troll or that you're just too thick headed to grasp some very simple and basic concepts - concepts that some third graders seem to handle just fine - my time is way to valuable to waste on a trying to teach pig to sing.

Do what you want. Rip out those pages and burn them, go play the WotC engine, make up your own **** game. It matters not to me anymore.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to do something productive with my time, like watching internet porn. Good day.

And so, Obvious Troll has finally figured out that he has been spotted and named for what he is, and is now trying to extricate himself from the situation while getting some “final” digs in at the people that he has already offended throughout this thread.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

Speaking only for myself, I’ll believe it when I see it in terms of actual behaviour that is actually demonstrated.

Perhaps you could take the advice in the vein it is given. Instead of just shooting it down because you don't feel you need it. I have repeatedly seen you discount the advice you are being given while at the same time complaining about the system. It does not come across well. I think you really could benefit from actually listening to other GMs who run this game in live play podcasts as well as listening to some very experienced GMs in the system going over it to teach others.

I believe I do. But when Im not getting the message, as for a while there I wasn't, you have little choice but to keep asking. I know it annoys people but you hope that eventually someone will devise a way to explain what you are missing or perhaps, come to an understanding of your point.

Which is why the suggesting that you listen to some live plays was given. Which you poo pooed...And I suggested So it is getting rather old you saying no no I don't like it and no I will not try any suggestions...

I have listened to several podcasts an enjoyed them quite a bit. Im pretty sure I never said anything negative about them, in fact, I just read back through and never said anything about them at all. I certainly didn't "poo poo' anything.

He's got a point, guys. He didn't poo-poo that suggestion.

He just completely ignored it.

Laugh, I didn't specifically announce that I watched several podcasts and somehow that constitutes a crime? Before I ever bought the game I checked out reviews and several pod casts as a peek into what it was like. Dang guys, I know some of you got hacked at me but now your just being silly.

No. The crime is you basically saying no I am too good to listen to these podcasts in your response. It has everything to do with your attitude about suggestions people are making to try and help you. Basically i have seen you approach every response trying to help you with a rather nasty attitude and acting as if those giving you help are attacking you. Rather than being gracious you are being rather nasty.
