This is exactly what i'm talking about. First you say some silly novice minded crap. Then someone calls you on it and like usual we try to reason with you. But then of course you can't handle the truth and because it's multiple people calling you on it so you have to muddy the waters. Then you change it up and bring in your stand by Hoops and hope maybe another will jump in by your side. But this time i ain't buying it. And neither is anyone else.
I understand and agree but, at what point is it ok to say, “I dont think you know what you’re talking about based on my experience”? I think a few posters are saying thats what they mean by saying, “You’re clueless”.
“I dont think you know what you’re talking about based on my experience”? That's perfect. It encourages the person to respond about the topic being discussed. Saying someone is ignorant or clueless just leads to arguments and further insults.
You forgot covering your manhood. Some of us need to work harder than others at this for obvious reasons....
Lol, the birth of this child has been like the longest day / night and I think Im just argumentative and using the forum to take my mind off of things. Sorry @SlyPokerDog.
What are you supposed to call people who start hate threads, are almost universally panned, then 10 pages later STILL has no further comment in the thread. Fucktards? Jackasses? Assholes? What's your term for it?
It wasn't directed to you. I'm just thinking of the impossible "Perpetual Motion Machine" this could potentially create.
Hmmm isnt that subjective to the recipient though? So, because the speaker is ignorant as to how the recipient will view the word, which is simply the same as the sentence,without having to type the sentence out, the speaker must then assume the recipient will not comprehend the word, as meaning as such? Why is a word created to provide meaning to a sentence an insult? This does not equate.
You realize this whole thing was a big misunderstanding of context and I took blame in causing it (something you've never done)? I don't need others to stand with me. I simply brought them in because I was pretty sure they'd agree with me in regards to the way I was interpreting the phrase "setting a screen" (just being the technique alone). Guess what, in terms of the disagreement, I actually agree with the people I was arguing with, we just misunderstood each others context. If you want to say reaction was too strong, or the "smh" was disrespectful, fine. As you would say, "I'll hurt your feelings kid"...? To me it's lingo and banter but apparently I need to change that for some in here that don't see it as such (even though I've done so for stretches in the past and it didn't improve a thing with some of yall). You say some disrespectful things as well so don't act like you're above it.
I've seen posts in the thread that disagree with the OP without insulting him. People are going to make threads hating on players. If it's a gimmick account and that's all that they do then they will be removed. But members venting and complaining about players is very common.
lacking knowledge, information, or awareness about a particular thing. "they were ignorant of astronomy" How is that an insult?
You could use that logic to excuse saying "they were stupid in regards to astronomy" as well. Then all of a sudden insults are acceptable if they're specified on a situational basis.
You are smart enough to find away to disagree with someone's opinion than calling them names. Mainly we just don't need two people going at each other and derailing the thread, which has happened here. Then we get others sitting on the sideline who suddenly want to jump in and give their opinion on one or both people that leads to even a bigger shit show. Which also happened in this thread. "He called me ignorant, that's insulting, you did nothing about it, so I'm going to call him a bitch." I've seen this rodeo before. Why not just avoid it? You of all people don't seem to have any trouble expressing yourself without insults. How about we just attack the post and not the poster.
