You're bragging about liberal arts and a law degree?

MS here, so I'm not really impressed by any of that.

 

 

 


 

Not bragging, just gave an answer, which you have repeatedly failed to do.

 

  What? I've answered you; how did I repeatedly fail to do something if I did it ? 


 

Go back and read the posts, im not gonna do it for you. And just MS is hardly an answer btw.

Just to make things clear...
I speak for myself and no one else, unless i state otherwise mine is just an opinion. A fact is something that can be independently verified, you may challenge such but with proof. You have every right to disagree with me through sound argument, i believe in constructive debate, but baseless aggression will warrant an unkind response.

To be fair, you accused Ray12k of having a "need for attention" yet when he pointed out that he has been a member since '05 and has only 188 posts and you've been around since last month and have more than that, you never properly addressed it or retracted the statement - you simply dodged it with a comment about him being threatened by post counts, care to comment further?

For the record I think Ray12k's initial post was worthless and petty, but you've gone and turned this into something interesting so please don't dissapoint me.

None of this matters in a forum however, what we post floats or sinks by its own weight. I have irl friends wich i consider cultured despite having nothing to show but a high school diploma.

You're the one that brought level of education into this discussion when you belittled the guy for just having a GED - if you had left it at that sentence alone it would of been fine but in your closing paragraph you reinforced it by calling him uneducated.  The implication is that you view those with a GED as uneducated.  Again, you say you have "irl friends wich i consider cultured...", but cultured is not the same as educated is it?  Don't be suprised if people take offense to your views, because to them, you come off as a snob.

To the OP:  Raid MMORPGs are already trending towards what you touched upon in this thread - much of the boss fights are positional fights to the point that the combat portion of the fight is not really necessary and can be done away with.  Tank and spank and aggro control is a thing of the past, and if they're not necessary, then why are they making us still fight?


 

Ok. this thread has certainly become annoying to continue... just want to make a couple of things clear;

1. This whole thing got derailed because of one user posting an insulting comment. Now theres certainly people out there who seem to think the right answer to such posts is to just ignore them and "stop feeding the troll" but its certainly my prerogative to engage whoever attacks me. Amittedly i may have come off as a snob in doing so, which seems to have prompted others to respond, but i would consider it a more arrogant attitude that they would attempt to enforce their standards upon me. I dont have a problem with people posting br if thats the only way they can manage to comunicate, but people becoming upset about me using words they may be unfamiliar with proves but their own intolerance. If anyone has a problem understanding anything i write they can ask politely for an explanation, ive certainly done the same many times in forums.

2. While i do not fault you for implying me to have an elitist view of education, i can honestly say i meant no such thing. Yes, cultured is not the same as educated but the latter is a term which would hardly apply to the unschooled no matter how cultivated they may be. Personally i would consider a person educated if satisfying the requirements of a classical education (trivium, quadrivium and history) regardless of their schooling. So let me rephrase, ive met both educated people with only a high school curriculum in academic studies, and uneducated persons holding advanced academic degrees. Ive also met people who educated themselves as well as those whose development was dependant on others. Whatever your standard in such regard you must grant me not all people can be refered to as educated (or else the term becomes relativistic and useless) although all are equally deserving of respect and dignity.

Now, someone celebrating ignorance i will call uneducated (perhaps worse) and rightly so.


 

LOL

What are you crying about now?  We all know that your some dork fat or super skinny. The closest you have come to pussy was on some internet pornsite.

I dont have to read your post but im sure it goes something along the lines " your grammer sucks ect.." your a dork no matter how you twist it, its your title bro.

As for me , I have nothingto prove lol I have a life date often, have a decent paying job that I hate and drive a simi-nice car...

I live alone and at times with current gf's. as for as education.... I have a degree, which means nothing. intelect is in how you use knowlege not repeating strings of words that some one told you....

so, in the end, keep jerking off tell your lil cack is raw and go to the gem... perhaps shower and get your teeth fixed as well....

and yes my typing sucks, =P


 

Now indeed youve done nothing but prove my point right. Why would you feel the need to justify yourself if youre telling the truth? Ever heard of projection? It means that threatened youve done nothing but describe your own sex life. Congratulations, hope you have enough sense to use some kind of lube. Next time try to come up with at least a few details to sell your story...


 

lol, thanks for proving my point.


I will give you a little bit knowledge. When a person tells you a story and uses allot of detail it is most likely false or consisted of many false statements. Almost all people subconsciously tell stories thinking the other person knows the small details.


It’s like the first thing people are taught when entering management in large companies…


Besides even if I was a 3 foot midget with to massive humps and wore an adult diaper, it would change the fact that you’re a dork, who cannot even get a WOW playing fat chick….
 

And really he uses the word indeed in a conversation lol. Do you talk in a robot voice as well? hahaha

Oh, so we know you to speak the truth because youre vague? Yea im pretty sure youre management material... Whats curious is that all of a sudden you seem to have developed a basic knowledge of psychology which, if you read back the posts, hardly leaves you a leg to stand on.
 

Youre insulted by people using "confusing" words? I think the reasons for your resentment have been sufficiently unraveled now, really, its time for you to seek therapy.

Just to make things clear...
I speak for myself and no one else, unless i state otherwise mine is just an opinion. A fact is something that can be independently verified, you may challenge such but with proof. You have every right to disagree with me through sound argument, i believe in constructive debate, but baseless aggression will warrant an unkind response.

So you were able to manage and advanced science degree but youre poor... yea, that kinda makes sense...

Edit; While i wont say anything about you looking down on lawyers, your contempt for the arts doesnt go a long way in proving your own level of education.

Its no ones fault but your own if you havent managed more with your life. The stereotype of gamers as people with no lives seems to find its more vocal proponents amongst those who cant conceive of anyone elses experience to have been different than their own.

So a need for attention is the only reason anyone would have a high post count? Cant it be im just stuck doing somewhat dull work on a computer and may be having a bit of fun? While ill grant you seem to be the smartest in the troll entourage ive gathered on this thread, your nitpicking does seem to be somewhat misled. I didnt dodge a thing, apparently you expect me to indulge every little whim of ray12k while not holding him to the same standard...

And this whole thing would be far more interesting if he actually cared to engage in discussion instead of just throwing infantile abuse my way. But hey, ill be stuck on my comp for a while so i guess ill get to see how long it takes for people to tire of this thread and let it die.

 Yeah, a lot of people with advanced degrees who are in academics are pretty poor (university professors, even if they do research, are still poor by a lawyer's standard and probably impoverished by yours). I know you're wealthy with connections and I don't want trouble, so I'll stfu, because when it all boils down to it education is not what matters, but who you know and what you have.

Besides lack of knolwedge in a certian area does not make one ignorant but your reply is a conformation of my first comment. =P

 

Lack of knowledge is the definition of ignorance.

I know you just meant to be sarcastic but i do resent the implication that, even were i as wealthy or well connected as you seem to imply, i would ever hurt anyone over something as stupid as a forum discussion. You are very likely unfamiliar with true poverty if you think university professors in North America have it bad. I agree that people in teaching positions and academics in general are grossly underpaid (and that most lawyers earn much more than what they deserve) but they are far from being at the forefront in matters of social grievances.

And this has nothing to do with people showing their education through what they post.

You're the one that brought level of education into this discussion when you belittled the guy for just having a GED - if you had left it at that sentence alone it would of been fine but in your closing paragraph you reinforced it by calling him uneducated.  The implication is that you view those with a GED as uneducated.  Again, you say you have "irl friends wich i consider cultured...", but cultured is not the same as educated is it?  Don't be suprised if people take offense to your views, because to them, you come off as a snob.

To the OP:  Raid MMORPGs are already trending towards what you touched upon in this thread - much of the boss fights are positional fights to the point that the combat portion of the fight is not really necessary and can be done away with.  Tank and spank and aggro control is a thing of the past, and if they're not necessary, then why are they making us still fight?


 

Ok. this thread has certainly become annoying to continue... just want to make a couple of things clear;

1. This whole thing got derailed because of one user posting an insulting comment. Now theres certainly people out there who seem to think the right answer to such posts is to just ignore them and "stop feeding the troll" but its certainly my prerogative to engage whoever attacks me. Amittedly i may have come off as a snob in doing so, which seems to have prompted others to respond, but i would consider it a more arrogant attitude that they would attempt to enforce their standards upon me. I dont have a problem with people posting br if thats the only way they can manage to comunicate, but people becoming upset about me using words they may be unfamiliar with proves but their own intolerance. If anyone has a problem understanding anything i write they can ask politely for an explanation, ive certainly done the same many times in forums.

2. While i do not fault you for implying me to have an elitist view of education, i can honestly say i meant no such thing. Yes, cultured is not the same as educated but the latter is a term which would hardly apply to the unschooled no matter how cultivated they may be. Personally i would consider a person educated if satisfying the requirements of a classical education (trivium, quadrivium and history) regardless of their schooling. So let me rephrase, ive met both educated people with only a high school curriculum in academic studies, and uneducated persons holding advanced academic degrees. Ive also met people who educated themselves as well as those whose development was dependant on others. Whatever your standard in such regard you must grant me not all people can be refered to as educated (or else the term becomes relativistic and useless) although all are equally deserving of respect and dignity.

Now, someone celebrating ignorance i will call uneducated (perhaps worse) and rightly so.


 

LOL

What are you crying about now?  We all know that your some dork fat or super skinny. The closest you have come to pussy was on some internet pornsite.

I dont have to read your post but im sure it goes something along the lines " your grammer sucks ect.." your a dork no matter how you twist it, its your title bro.

As for me , I have nothingto prove lol I have a life date often, have a decent paying job that I hate and drive a simi-nice car...

I live alone and at times with current gf's. as for as education.... I have a degree, which means nothing. intelect is in how you use knowlege not repeating strings of words that some one told you....

so, in the end, keep jerking off tell your lil cack is raw and go to the gem... perhaps shower and get your teeth fixed as well....

and yes my typing sucks, =P


 

Now indeed youve done nothing but prove my point right. Why would you feel the need to justify yourself if youre telling the truth? Ever heard of projection? It means that threatened youve done nothing but describe your own sex life. Congratulations, hope you have enough sense to use some kind of lube. Next time try to come up with at least a few details to sell your story...


 

lol, thanks for proving my point.


I will give you a little bit knowledge. When a person tells you a story and uses allot of detail it is most likely false or consisted of many false statements. Almost all people subconsciously tell stories thinking the other person knows the small details.


It’s like the first thing people are taught when entering management in large companies…


Besides even if I was a 3 foot midget with to massive humps and wore an adult diaper, it would change the fact that you’re a dork, who cannot even get a WOW playing fat chick….
 

And really he uses the word indeed in a conversation lol. Do you talk in a robot voice as well? hahaha

Oh, so we know you to speak the truth because youre vague? Yea im pretty sure youre management material... Whats curious is that all of a sudden you seem to have developed a basic knowledge of psychology which, if you read back the posts, hardly leaves you a leg to stand on.
 

Youre insulted by people using "confusing" words? I think the reasons for your resentment have been sufficiently unraveled now, really, its time for you to seek therapy.


 

yet again, I didnt read your whining post.

but the use of indeed in a conversation, is a confirmation of dorkdum.

This will be my last reply since, I think I made my point.

Regardless if im lying or telling the truth about myself, you have proven yourself to be a idiot/dork with below average perhaps non existant social skills.

By the way i assure you that I have no reason to lie to you, or anyone on a mmorpg forum lol maybe if it was a website with hot chicks pancing around, I might add some glossy paint on myself.

But for you, mr.indeed, aint ganna happen =)

BTW your attempts to sound smart dont fly, take some life coaching classes or start meeting people in rl... maybe some friends, hell you might even get a pitty fuck out of it, who knows....

I really don't intend to stoke this any further (actually, maybe I do), but the way you use the English language is cracking me up.  You're trying too hard to sound educated, when you can communicate your point without using flowery words.  I work with 25 doctors on a daily basis, and none of them sound like an "educated" dickhead.  They speak to me politely and conversationally.  They don't throw in words they learned in their 4000 level comp class.   You have a fucking law degree.  Get over yourself.

Don't dwell on what has passed away
or what is yet to be."
