Its cheesy but I'm going to say that a few people around here are really cool people and I'm going to miss being able to interract with them. I want to explain why though
It seems lately I just can't seem to get along with a vast majority of a certain group of people. *COUGH DISCUSSIONS*
Not to sound cruel but it is literally infested with people who have a vastly different viewpoint than mine. Now, to not sound contrived I am not upset about that. I welcome differeating opinions. I also have a problem. I seem to be unable to communicate my opinion without chastising the opposition. I have embarassed Nemesis by behaving this way, and, ban or not, I won't be back.
I want to apollogize to nemesis and thank several people, such as reasa, medhead and the clam. I don't agree with any of them for the most part, but they are the only three I see who are able to communicate their view without doing the same thing I do to others.
My other main problem is I see a lot of the people on these boards come off as pseudo-intellectuals and it frustrates me to no limit.
So basically, if you've talked to me at all beyond these boards, and I didn't openly say I hate you, I either don't know you, or simply never talked to you 1 on 1. So thats it I suppose. It may be best to ban me so if someone happens to guess my password they don't defile my name anymore than I've already done myself. So, if redford reads this I apollogize to him too.
Simple fact is, I don't get along with the majority of the people here now and I just think its best to move on.
Ooops I forgot to add, if your one of the people I get along well with and talk to on occasion please email communistwithagun@gmail.com, add me to aim at commiewithagun, or add me to msn at omni_blake@hotmail.com Thanks

Gamers don't generally make good debaters, it seems. (or at least, there are enough pseudo-high-minded fools who want to wade in and ruin things)
Better that than getting banned.
Ah well, at least we know that there won't be an 'Unban CWAG' petition like last time....if you do get banned that is. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

yes there will!!
There is no reason why you can't stay on the forum though, you've been a fixture of this forum, like a mascot or a cheerleader or something <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Just prove that you can stay civil and then everything should be fine, it'd be a good test for you. Bear in mind that my opinions often differ dramatically from others there on particular topics and I still enjoy debates.

In other news I bathed my cat and I am very glad I wore latex rubber gloves or else I would have been a human scratching post.
try to look at the positives:
You won't be tempted to flame anybody, because you can't anymore.
The fact that the mods are restricting people more readily now means that the discussion forum will be cleaned up a bit. No more AvengerX's!
there are better boards to dicuss serious topics than the NS boards. the rules here are too tight for any controverisal topics to be discussed. people get emotional, and if you do, you should find a board where flaming is allowed, to an extent...

word to your mother.
It's the Natural-Selection for Half-Life forums... not really the best place to discuss current affairs or controversial matters outside the game itself
If you're not one of those people... get out! Get out!
Internet Discussions are the biggest farce this planet will ever have to face.

Why not? It's a group of people from a wide variety of places. No more shame in it than discussing it with a bunch of friends, with the plus of not being in arms' reach when you fall out.

Indeed, just like how it is a grand idea to take that redhead beaty from the office for a business lunch...

YES
...Although I'd never date anyone from work. That could backfire real nasty-like.
On a more serious note, I don't understand why people hate the discussion forum so much. Is it the idea of people having different opinions to yours or something?

the problem is a lot of subjects are very personal to some people (religion and homosexuality have been mentioned), so, if your "opinion" steps on people's toes, the flames will start. given that if you were having these types of dicussions on the street people will start flaming each other, these forums present an unnatural (pun intended) environment to discuss these topics because vents of anger and frustrations are muted by the admins. if the admins are not prepared to accept the emotional responses that come with these types of dicussions, these types of discussions need to be locked immediately, or auto-locked (a la garry's mod forums), or the dicussion forums itself needs to be closed. a lot of off-topic forusm i've been to expressly say in stickies that such and such topics are forbidden.
I never realy talk to you or anything, but I still don't think you should drop of the froums mate.
You are sort of a staple to the comunity.
Heck, I have nearly asked to be marked as restricted so I couldn't even bother looking in that forum...
That dosn't mean you should just poof, you will be missed by most poeple.
