Useless Flowery Drivel or Ciolorful Descriptive Narrative

Quote from: rgrove0172;937458I can't really help what someone asserts. I said my players are readers, they are. Didn't suggest anything bout the reading habits of other members. You elect to read into the statement then accuse me of starting an argument? Geeze, the moderators were a nuisance on the purple site but some of you guys are so sensitive its,rediculous. Do I have to run every phrase through a filter to keep from hurting your feelings?

Why yes, yes they here love them some hurt feelings. They love it even more when they respond to a post, make up an assertion, say it was you, then shit all over it. That around here will get 20-40 posts all about how swiney you are about something you didn't even say. Around here they have no desire for discussion, they want agreement. If you want real frothing at the mouth hatred just bring up Mother May I. It is comical quick.

Well, the topic he did raise was answered, mostly. The issue is he didn't like the answers and claims we're overanalyzing his example, which is what he gave us to work with:).

Rgrove, may I suggest taping yourself during next session and then cutting out a couple of 30-seconds descriptions (with or without the players' clarifying questions, your call) and uploading them on youtube for us to hear;)?

The rebellious outsider who isn't part of 'them' (with 1500 posts).

Do me a favour mate, you're a one-line joke these days, so i think you've lost the right to any kind of high ground that you think you might be inhabiting. Your moral high-ground is a mole-hill - in a ditch.

If one person says something about your self presentation, ignore them.
If several people say essentially the same thing, you need to evaluate your style of self presentation.

I've said this before in the other thread. Guess you missed that.

And for those of us who have seen this song-and-dance performed multiple times before, it's starting to wear thin.

I appreciate rgrove's ability to start threads on rpg topics - it generates discussion and occasionally some useful tips.

I don't read his actual posts anymore, however, since beyond the OP, the posts can all be summed up either with either "well, we are just looking for something a bit better than the average game group" or "How did I offend? I wasn't implying that my game/players are better than you."

Quote from: BedrockBrendan;937508If I had a dime for every post here that irked me, I'd be a wealthy man. My advice is ignore the posts you don't like or can't respond to constructively. Or at the every least, respond but don't derail your own thread by focusing endlessly on posts you dislike. If you have an issue with the forum itself, maybe take it to the help desk. Right now this is just becoming a meta-discussion about the quality of posts and posters in the thread, rather than the topic you originally raised.

Good advice. Consider it taken. Hope it will be apparent immediately.

Wish I had known that from the onset. The choice I guess us do you throw your hands up and leave or swallow your principles and join the fray.

Sure, or I could just extend my neck and hand out axes.

Well, then what else can we analyze except your examples:)?

Yeah. It lasted all of 3 minutes.

I'm going to close this thread as the cluster-fuck it is. I'm sure you'll start another thread going over the same ground shortly, use loaded language and then act all surprised when you get a few bites.
