    • I don't have to be a good sport about your antics/actions... You blundered.

      I calculated precisely in order to achieve my desired result....satisfaction.
      Burn the karma point. It was worth it.

    • good one!

      Well, returning to the subject, get over it man. Forge once lowered my karma for capitalizing his name.

    • Just to give you folks a heads up, ellrx was kind enough to spam my mailbox this morning.

      I was even nice enough to take a screenshot and the e-mail text, which was the same in all messages, has been forwarded to Andiyar. I'll let him deal with it as he sees fit.

      Screenshot: Posted Image

      As for the text of the message, a few small corrections. I could go on for a while, but I'll just take some of the more grievous errors.

      1: I don't drink.
      2: I'm not European.
      3: Trashing me directly to my face doesn't normally meet with good results.
      4: Karma is directed to a specific reply in a topic. It's not "omnidirectional", for lack of a better term
      5: I don't not enjoy the following actions: "Ruff Prison Luv", scat, or horny old persons.
      6: I am not, and I quote, a "****head Brit/Kiwis/Aussies/Inbred/Imperial/White
      Power/Crusading/Viral decadent"
      7: Having the gall to tell me not to swear after that e-mail seems EXTREMLY hypocritical of you.
      8: I chose to come back here to explain what happened. Drawing me back would've implied some effort on your part beyond a post which I never saw until somebody else pointed it out to me.

      I'd post more, but I've just realized upon rereading the e-mail that after the first two paragraphs (Items 1-4 were found there) that it just goes down into self-gratifying gibberish about how I apparently steal identities, charge money onto other people's credit cards, comments about my sexual orientation and intellect, and something about posting on other forums which I really don't get.

      That's it, just a follow-up. I will be more than happy to keep you folks updated as this goes on.

      Thank's forge. I'm laughing pretty darn hard over here.

      And a few glaring lessons can be learned here as well:

      1. If you have a problem with someone, especially someone in a position of authority(ie. admin or moderator), take it to e-mail and deal with it privately. It just shows class.

      2. If you absolutely have to flame someone and you are going to do it anyways, at least do it well. Incoherence doesn't get the job done, and useless spam isn't inciteful; it is just plain moronic and easily dealt with.

      3. forge is not capitalized

      4. Tarn likes his iLock picture very much.

      Ellrx, please, just drop the issue. forge made a mistake and would have been happy to correct it. But your actions were much worse. forge's action was private; ie, no one would have known about it had you not called attention to it. Your actions were public and drew attention.

      Hubris is the downfall of many people. Just suck it up and let the whole thing die.
