Let me rephrase this in the same manner I explain things to my children.
Kids: Da can we have skill points reimbursed because you nerfed cable and we don't like these shows anymore? Me: No. Kids: Why not? Me: There is no why, you asked a question and I answered it. Kids: But... Me: Go clean your rooms. Kids: *scatter*
Now, can we go back to the Dave and Solstice show? That was actually funny.
In keeping with the analogy... you have no idea how many times I've imagined Whitehound stomping his feet throughout all this. You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |

My kids learned a long time ago that slamming doors and stomping their feet in my house = no allowance for the week. If they want to stomp around and be pissed at me, they do it outside now. They do like getting paid.
Edit: I should add, they also learned that stating valid reasons with their requests, and doing so in a polite and non-whiny manner, is more likely to result in my actually listening to their arguments and considering them before I say No. Occasionally I even say Yes, just to keep them on their toes.

I don't have kids, but I have two nephews and a sister twenty years my junior. I use the mirror technique. When they throw a tantrum, I throw it too. More often than not, they either see how silly they look and they run away crying, or it changes their mood to one of much giggling and spasticity and playtime instead, effectively rendering their childhood rebellion defeated.

Yep. And like I said, if I'm honest, the answer is no. This would require me to be... wait for it... honest. The problem is, we aren't seeing honesty, we're seeing rhetoric and excuses, when sometimes the only honest answer is "**** happens, get over it and get used to it." You don't scare me.

27 pages? i think the other thread, that actually got an answer, that makes this thread hopelessly redundant, didn't even manage that many pages.
then again, the moderators didn't ignore it, moved it to the relevant forum, and let it die. you're tired, stop posting. |

Every single post where you've dodged a question or told someone you weren't talking to them, or tried to accuse someone of not understanding you without clarifying your position, or used rhetoric.... eg: "for the same reason you have to ask the question" doesn't explain the reason, it's just rhetorical nonsense that means nothing. It's like being asked "if 5 take 4 is a, what is a?" and answering with "the difference between 5 and 4". But the answer is "one". Simple, concise, straight up no beating around the bush nonsense. You're playing games with words and you probably don't know the meaning of anything you say yourself. You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |

OK, now that we're 26 pages in ... let's recap...
Whitehound -- pissed that some people in the future will have it easier to train for a support vessel than he did. (or something -- pretty much saying dumb things that make no sense)
Solstice, Mag's, Alphea - "maneuvering" their "Thoraxes" into the proper "position" Me -- falling in with the above, and also trying to figure out why all the QQ over the Orca change (srsly, I'd have expected people to be more upset about BS 5 getting lowered to 4 for caps). Tippia -- doing her thing to make the OP look foolish. Remiel and others -- similar "you're wrong boss" posting. Everyone else -- WTF is going on here?! Malcanis for CSM 8! |

I am not even close to being pissed, upset or angry. I am greatly amused! Amused over how some play the role of CCP, thinking they need to answer the requests of others. I wish I could watch this on video and how they dress up as little CCP staff holding their speeches. CCP should allow for this on the next Fanfest! I'd watch it. Maybe call it "The Parrot Show".

Actually, Remiel is going to bed. I don't really care who's right or wrong, but I do occasionally get lost in the naivety of faith in the better judgement of humanity. Unfortunately, the irrational amongst us frequently prove me wrong, and my attempts to enlighten Whitehound have been for nought.
Still... not for lack of trying, right? At least I can put "conviction" on my resume. Ciao. You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |
