ok, you know that you and i dont get along much, so feel free to put this off as me 'being mean', but this is how i see it: (and im not trying to be mean)....
ok, so you're 12.
i really dont think people would have minded, or even made such a big deal out of it, if you hadn't acted all bossy, and tried to tell various people what to do. catch up man, this si a free online community, not your own cubical farm. people are free to do whatever they want (within reason), and there isn't a thing you can do to stop them. this does NOT mean that you should flame the board, and send viruses to everyones computer. that would lead to a world war 3 scenario, where, in the end, no one wins. its better to just relax, offer to help, (and have people offer to help you), dont try to be too controlling, and certainly DONT insult ppl. in the worst case if you DO insult someoen, apologise your a$$ off. really. go outta your way to make them feel better.
there, now my observations:
you have done almost everything above, except apologise!. i have seen sabre apologise to you, i have, and we're probably not the only ones. I can understand that maybe at 12 years old, you dont want to apologise to people, but if you want to take part in a nomal community, (like this one, (yes, i count this as being normal)) you have to grow up. and fast.
start by apologisong to
everyone you think you may have offended.
then just keep a low profile, at least for a month.
finally, think before you type!! really!! the amount of garbage i have seen come from your keyboard, is astonoshing.
Yes, thats right, remember this??i have a policy of making bits of my computer as open as possable. i.e.- i release allte programs i make, in the hopes they will be usefull to someeon else. this is helping the online community in general.
my computers are all running open source solutions. i support people who give away their works for free. in return, if i want to know something, all i have to do is mail the local LUG (which i am a proud member of), and i get an answer, pronto!!
so i hope you see what m getting at.
IF you continue to abuse and insult the community members, you will get given, a jolly good thrashing. people will get annoyed with you.
now, i believe that when you said
"please dont all side with sabre on this one" you knew what you were talking about. you knew that this isn't about sides, its about
you. thats right,
grow up jamie, otherwise, your presence will beome less and less tolerated on this board. i thinkt hat even the great redink1 will not beimmune for much longer :-)
as for what you typed below, scroll down...
: Simple... I am taking some time off Dink now. I will still be working on my D-MODS and stuff for my website, but I am taking time off Dink.good!! the best thing you've said all the time you have been here!!
: My great thanks to Sabre and people alike, highlighting SABRE here makes me feel good.
: Sabre has made me lose my confidntiality, my pride, my popularity, my courage, and my good fellow Dinking friends.uh-oh. who the hell do you think you ar ekidding??!!
YOU either didn't have any friends to start with, or YOU lost them yourself!!
do not blame your own misfortunes on other people
: I know that DethLord appreciated life outside of Dink, and if this is true, if it is so much better outside Dink, then outside I will stay. I am going tommorow, Sunday.
again. good!!
: ALSO --- GOOD NEWS ---
: I participated in the DML Devon Youth Games not too long ago, which is a major sports competition in England. I swam, as an athletic swimmer for my city, and county, in order to achieve a nift 1st place in my heat, and in the final, a beautiful SILVER 2ND PLACE. That just shows how good life ouside Dink can be
: ALSO -- MORE GOOD NEWS ---
: Athletics competition also took place not too long after and I once again ran, this time, an again for my city an county. This time I acheived 2 gold medals for short sprints and a 3rd in the 400 metre run. That was pretty good also.
: ALSO --- SURFING NEWS
: I got a 2nd place in a Newqay surfing event, not much more to say about this.
ok, i may be waaayyy of the mark here, but i think not. is this you trying to impress us?? i too have a family in england (colchester, essex), and i know how big denver is, and i too had never heard of this competition. i also think it strange that you are, on the one hand, a 12 year old guy who plays dink, and sits at the computer for hours, abusing people on an online forum, and on the other hand, you're now telling us you are a bronzed athletic and surfing champ?? something doesn't sound right here.. what about training??
i used to do a bit of orienteering, even at a national level (in NZ thats not saying much), but never made it anywhere. now ive stopped, mainly because im not fit enough, and too busy. see?? thers really no need to exxagerate. really :-)
so yeah, i hope you read this, and think about it. actually think about it, and consider changing your ways. otherwise, i will be one of the first to get angry with you, and i warn you, seeing (or reading) me angry is the last thing you want.
'nuff said.
