The Moonlight Café

One step closer to 10,000. This forum is probably the best thing you've ever done with your life.

No, though I do value the community. I have friends here, but that's a concept I doubt you're familiar with.

When you substitute healthy real-life relationships with people for being part of a community on the Internet where you spend a massive chunk of your life there is a real problem. I doubt you're familiar with the concept of there being a big, wide world outside your window, away from your computer.

Edit: I'd be honoured if you used your 10,000th post talking to me.

The bigger problem is when you not only spend that time on the internet, but that everyone hates you there too. I know about the big, wide world and I imagine you must too. I'm using this magical machine to communicate with people on the other side of the big, wide world and get to spend the rest of my time happily living in it when I'm done. The difference for you is, you've probably already ruined your chances out there and you have no choice but to skulk around on the internet all day.

Why would anyone hate some stranger on the Internet? That's insane. Why would anyone feel such intense emotions for a person they barely know? You must be an American because only an American would write something like "but that everyone hates you there too." No one cares enough to hate anyone, except for you. LOL why do you hate anyone at all? My concern was simply that with writing posts, reading posts and playing this game that there was a high risk of you missing out on real life and wasting your time here. But you've assured me that you're perfectly comfortable with yourself and your life so my mind is now at peace.

"The difference for you is, you've probably already ruined your chances out there and you have no choice but to skulk around on the internet all day."

The irony burns. My poor eyes. You are one of those people who projects what they believe about themselves onto other people, trying to use it as an attack because you're deeply bitter. You're here all day long probably because the internet is a way of escaping from and hiding away from real life. You ruined your life and now this is your life. You skulk around here all day.

Hig, you are out of bounds. If you wish to consult him on the amount of time he spends here, do it via pm. There is no call for you to be making digs.

[Guest77]

To be fair, they're both making digs.

I wrote what wolf wrote back to him, in different words, but with the same meaning.

And yes, I'll pm him.

True enough, I expect better from the both of them.

Regardless though, Hig began it and thus Autumnwolf's reaction can be see as a result of baiting on Hig's part.

[Guest77]

I won't disagree with the semantics, but from as an objective standpoint as possible, Hig's original question (at least in this round of "debating") was seemingly just one of curiosity, as opposed to actively trying to provoke.

However, I could see how it could be interpreted both ways. Ah, the wonders of the lack of intonation thanks to the interwebs.

[Fangfallen]

I wish I could read everyone's minds when they make their posts. However, I am reduced to basing decisions on judgement off of their past posts and behaviours.

[Autumnwolf17]

I'm going to be completely honest with you Fang, I was kind of having fun there. Far as I'm concerned, it's fairly well established that the rules don't really apply to Lancestar, KBF, and Ratsmasher. I honestly don't know a single person in the community who honestly enjoys them or wants them here. (Excepting what we talked about a while back when VM was talking about that lack of forum conflicts these days)

Well, assuming Hig isn't one of them already, he may as well be number four with the reputation he's built for himself

So no, it's not a reaction to his baiting, although he was baiting and all.

I think Hig is a swell fellow.
