    Two things you ought to know, Shota.

    1.) I am well within my rights to ask you to use spelling, grammar, and punctuation. I have been here for much longer than you, I know for a fact that the posters on this site have standards for what they will and will not read. I was polite (ish), as opposed to my normal obsceneties, and believe it or not I was doing it for your benefit as well as my own.

    2.) The very fact that you've improved upon said problems merely proves that I was correct to post what I did. Getting all uppity and whiney isn't going to change that. All you've done is rile everybody up quite needlessly.

    Extra thing: Muppet? What the fuck man, was that supposed to be an insult or something? Cause you oughta know, I love the Muppets, and Miss Piggy is my role model.

    /Edit/ Actually Xz, the original post was aimed at BOTH possible targets. Quite justifiably at that.

    dont kid yourself, i was typing that way because i knew that if i didnt you would ignore my arguments and just point out my spelling/grammatical errors.

    and stop trying to make it seem like you weren't trying to insult me, when it is blatantly obvious that you were..

    If you honestly think I was trying to insult you, then you're hardly in a position to be calling me delusional.

    I'm going to be straight with you now. I tried to be nice, I tried to be rational even though you insulted me, and now I've lost all patience with you (and frankly I gave you far more than you ever deserved).

    LEARN TO SPELL OR GET THE FUCK OUT OF THIS FORUM. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

    P.S. Muppet is not an insult. Fuckwit is an insult. Arsehole is an insult. Smeghead is an insult, albiet one that always makes me chuckle. Muppet? Bah, most people find being called a Muppet endearing. You poor deluded fool.

    P.P.S. And incidentally, the first word of your name is the Japanese word for 'I want to fuck little boys'.

    It's a pretty well-known word in the anime-watching community, right up there with hentai, yaoi, loli and tentacle rape.

    Shōta <-see the little thing over the ‘o’. Is a Japanese given name.

    Shotacon or Shota <- no little thing over the ‘o’, is a Japanese term for ‘little boys give me a stiffy’.

    See the Wikipedia link.

    One of the general things that alot of anime folks know.

    EDIT: While I was replying, two post made it in front of me. I type slow.

    Puppy...errr papa dog, please don't link to a wiki entry that doesn't site any sources. Granted, your post is 100% accurate, but when citing a source, at least make sure it cites its sources :p

    No. Wicked City comes to mind, and that's not a movie I want to remember.

    And just think about that for a second, Shota. We've known about your "interests" and you're still allowed to post here. That's reason enough to treat anyone with seniority, as well as decent grammar, with respect.

    So I got the context slightly wrong. In my defence, it was two in the morning and I'd been awake and functional for 37 hours straight. The general intent of the statement was still correct, even if I messed up the personal pronouns somewhat.

    Hell, I make more sense when half-delusional from exhaustion than you do during what is presumably a 'normal' day. That's not a good sign for your mental capacity, oh whiney one. (Then again, apart from bits of that one coherent post, you've done very little to convince me that you have a mental capacity.)

    I second the call for the ban hammer. I'm only willing to be reasonable for so long, and this guy is seriously pushing my limits.

    (Incidentally - citing Wikipedia is bad enough, but a Wikipedia article without citations? Shame on you, papa dog!)

    Noted. As referenced in other threads, much funny and embarrassment come from sleepy postings.
    It was about 8:30 in the morning, which is like midnight for me.

    *adds to HoL acceptable policy list…inserts after Rum Cake entry*
    Linking to Wiki entry = questionable
    Linking to non-sourced Wiki entry = bad, bad dog!

    P.S. @magicot: You can call me puppy, just as long as I still get fed. As my Dad always said, "You can call me anything you want, except 'late for dinner'. If you did that, you’d be a liar."

    You should really see a Psychiatrist. It seems you have some serious self-esteem issues. All you have really done in this thread is try to insult me, then when that didn't work, you started ranting about child porn. (??)

    At the end of the day, this is an internet forum, it is an INFORMAL place for discussion. This is not my job, and I really don't see why I should take it so seriously, and I don't know why you should, either. My guess would be that you are so emotionally crippled, and inferior to everyone else you know in real life, that you try to come here and feel superior to some of the posters here by insulting them.

    And if you think I care about being banned, then you are sorely mistaken.

    You have missed the point.

    This is not just "an internet forum", this is Terra-Arcanum, and there is no one that has this has his/hers job (except for the admins/mods)

    There are some standards that each and everyone are to keep, like correct grammar and spelling.

    And how can you diagnose someone based soley on their posts, while behaving like a moron?

    Oh, I know that Xiao_Caity can take someone on her own, but now I want to say something in her defence.

    Shota I think you have started all this, by making fun of the length of Xiao_Caity, or not seeing the irony of what she said.

    Are you now talking to a mirror? Because you are now acting like this.

    Now that's make want to quote like a bad guy from James Bond:

    "Goodbye mister Shota."

    EDIT: Let me give you an advice, please think before you act. Can you do that?

    Shota, that's why you should never choose to discuss grammar and proper spelling when someone scolds you for knowing neither.

    Seeing the quality of your posts have improved, I'd really like to consider the initial problem solved and have you drop it right now - before this argument you're having with a bunch of forum regulars escalates into something unhealthy.

    I really don't want to see the super-gay avatar make an appearance on these forums again.

    Now you’re acting like a twit. This isn’t our job either, but there are still standards to be kept. That’s why this is a community. You should look it up sometime. This is TERRA-ARCANUM! SPARTA be Damned!

    There is a difference between informal and just plain lazy. I expect folks, whether at home or in public, to pick up after themselves, to show some common sense and to at least try to use proper spelling and grammar. It’s not that hard. We’re not expecting business letter perfection or thesis quality to any post, but we do expect some effort in appropriate usage of the written language.

    As Arthgon said, Xiao_Caity can take care of herself. We all know that. She’s got a tongue that can clip a hedge and we’ve seen it in action (I haven’t really since I’ve been here, but I have read past posts before I came out of lurk mode, and she’s left some nice topiary behind). She’s been relatively mild to you, although at this point, I don’t know why.
    Have you noticed that folks are backing her up and all saying the same thing about the expected quality of the posting here? Have you noticed no one is saying you’re right and we’re wrong? That might be something to think about.

    If you put the same effort into your Arcanum mod (per your sig) that you put into your posts, I foresee a bug ridden mess. I don’t expect you to type your posts in a word processor and hit it with spell check like I do, but I do expect you not to post lazily. Sleepily, drunkenly..okay, but not lazy.

    That being said, either shape up or smeg off!

    EDIT: Damn my slow typing. Three post made it that time. *sigh*
