It's one thing when you make a joke and it isn't interpreted the way you want.  It's an entirely different thing when you make a joke and then defend said joke as being serious, and then later go "Oops, people don't like me... Umm, I was joking, I swear"

And it's another thing to continue to put him in this uncomfortable situation, just because he hurt your feelings a little. Why was this thread unlocked, past the fact that people wanted to see Hellstryker squirm?

To be honest I'd rather hear Hellstryker explain himself rather than hiding behind the excuse of saying he's scared of me.

So I'm going to reopen this one and he can explain how on Earth he's managed to form such a ridiculous notion.

I wouldn't quite call it scared, I'd just rather not be monkeyed right now, but it would seem I have no choice. Outside from a few certain people (Yes Kara, i'm looking at you), I have no beef with the diaspora team, I meant it as a joke, then blackwolf came along with that ****ing comment of his, which I imagine would piss anyone off if it were directed at them, and because of it I thusly assumed he was part of the diaspora team, which he in fact is not.

Now, quoting myself earlier, can we please, for the love of all that is holy, delete this ****ing cesspool of a thread?

Firstly I'm absolutely not letting anyone give the impression we delete or lock threads simply because they disagree with Diaspora. So I'm undeleting this one. We've seen quite enough of that kind of stupidity on Game-Warden to allow it to happen here on HLP too. Too many people have viewed this thread for it to simply disappear just cause someone doesn't like the opinions expressed on it.

It will simply leave people scratching their heads as to why it vanished and then Diaspora will get the blame. Which is exactly how reputations for being elitist get started.

Cause Hellstryker  had voiced opinions which he had the right to explain should he wish to. I don't like closing threads just cause they disagree with Diaspora for the same reasons I don't like deleting them.

I wouldn't quite call it scared, I'd just rather not be monkeyed right now, but it would seem I have no choice.

Nonsense. I've never once monkeyed someone who managed to stay civil and on topic. IIRC Trashman is the only person I've ever monkeyed I was even arguing with and he only gets monkeyed due to his inability to actually remain on topic and habit of inventing arguments he refuses to back up. Neither of which belong in a reasoned debate.

If you can give sensible, credible support to your arguments and stay civil you're in little danger from me even if you are complaining about Diaspora or arguing with me personally.

Outside from a few certain people (Yes Kara, i'm looking at you), I have no beef with the diaspora team, I meant it as a joke, then blackwolf came along with that ****ing comment of his, which I imagine would piss anyone off if it were directed at them, and because of it I thusly assumed he was part of the diaspora team, which he in fact is not.

Yet you drew up a list of who you didn't have a problem with and it only had three people on it? Anyway at least you've finally explained yourself.

Now, quoting myself earlier, can we please, for the love of all that is holy, delete this ****ing cesspool of a thread?

Nope. But I will lock it unless you say you want to post further.
