Reply to Re: Sabre's Say #237 : Formulaic extremes....and we hide them.
If you don't have an account, just leave the password field blank.
Tal : True, but I would have thought that my article was pretty obvious in it's silly nature.
Alli : Don't worry about it sounding like flames, that's the way all "discussions" do on the net.
but what I would say to you is that I can't be whining as such when I disregard what I have said- call it a stupid pointless article, but don't say I'm whining about everything being the same, when I clearly make out that is an OK thing.
And one point (I thought more would have noticed it...I suspect Redink might...though I could be wrong) that I was making was the, as you say, complete pointlessness of these articles made by non-staff. Hence it being #237, hence it's completely pointless nature, hence it rambling on, only to nullify itself at the end - A bit of a parody, if you will - more jibing at Icey and his articles (admittedly, a bit too covertly) then trying to make a point myself.
Saying that, have you never seen anything like this, where a large point is made, yet disregarded at the end as silly? My point would be that Dink is all the same, but that is not a bad thing...but I was tired and couldn't find the drive to say it in a more elaborate manner.
But essentially, this article was meant to show how silly these articles are...leave them to the pro's people.
