    Ok, I forgot you were a prodigy?

    As far as IQ goes, "must of".....maybe you mean "must have". "what a wonder little man you were"....maybe you meant "what a wonderful little man you were". I'm not sure. Sounds like jibberish to me.

    Thanks for the compliment.

    I wish every day I could go back to the college years. Guess I'll always be juvenile at heart!

    I'd rather stay here and piss you off with this one. And as I said before, I have no other names. The assumption you're making isn't valid. May as well kick that idea.

    I thought that was why I started this thread. You're right though. I'm not a mod, so it's not my place. But then I guess it isn't the place of those people who pretend to be mods day in and day out either.

    And you keep harping on the fact that a little positive encouragement goes a long way. WHEN DID I SAY IT DIDN'T? This thread is about the WANNA BEs who constantly do this without giving the help that's requested.

    Some asinine questions may not deserve an answer, but the posts I've been seeing from the wanna-bes are good questions that are well deserving of a response.

    flip,
    Honestly, I started this thread in the safety valve area to see what kinds of responses I'd get and to see who would get a little touchy over the issue. Sort of a battle of wits. Sorry if it pissed off the bleeding hearts.

    I don't see the point of "wanna be mods" ... your either a mod or your not. The difference is mods can ban. I don't see myself better than any other member here.

    Any member from newbie on up can do all the thing I can (including pointing out the forum rules), they just can't ban someone for breaking them.

    As many threads as our members answer and as much help as they give out ... I think they are allowed to throw the rules around a bit :) When they do, it's usually because someone hasn't read them.

    Battle of wits?? I don't see that ... what I do see is the start of alot of bashing.


    Oh ... a few more things a mod can do. Move, sticky, hide and CLOSE threads :) lol

    Looking for trouble then........



    So to be fair you only the halfwits are invited?


    Yeah right.



    Let me weigh in on the topic. As a community AD has to rely on all it's members to keep things running smoothly so there's nothing wrong with our members giving a friendly reminder here and there in addition to reporting offensive posts since we mods aren't omnipresent.


    You've already admitted that you started this thread to upset some folks and that makes you a real big prick that just made my watch list. You managed to use derogatory comments towards ScubaBud and that really pisses me off. I've also noticed your condescending and arrogant attitude elsewhere in the forums.

    I suggest cleaning up your attitude because if I see you continue this behavior I'll be showing you the door.

    I guess I still don't understand quite what the point of this thread is...if you wanted to call out specific poeple that are being rude, than either state their names or let a mod know. But by starting a thread like this you have accused unknown people of wrong-doing, which in turn upsets many people of the aD community. So stop throwing gasoline on the fire...

    @ sadsac:

    You really have contempt for every one ?

    otherwise you wouldnt get :

    All the bitching and moaning on your part has now proven to me and probably a lot of other people that you really are an ass hole ( apologies to the forum for this transgression of the rules, i rarely swear but this guys a jerk)

    Maybe you should change your sign on to just "sad" , as thats what you are currently

    I thought this thread was closed.

    And I didn't start this thread to look for trouble. I started it in the SAFETY VALVE area because this is supposed to be a safe haven where we can all have a little fun.

    As for pissing people off, I really mean no harm. I can't believe some people take this stuff so personally. I don't take things personally. But for the people who posted back, admit it. At times, you like to just do a little bashing.

    I really am not on here trying to stir up crap. I have helped many people out in their threads. I even devised a method for splitting a large movie to 2 disks. Just visit bbmayos website. We discussed the method in the threads and he wrote a nice guide for it. I've seen him mention the method to several people who have wanted to do this.

    My point is, I am here to help, but I come to the safety valve area to blow off steam. And yes, I did shoot off my mouth (or fingers when I'm typing) in this thread. If I offended anyone, hey...sorry.

    And I AM NOT USING ALTER-EGOs. I've had only one account since I signed up.

    I'm starting a new thread for anyone I pissed off.

    There you go again proving my point about a low IQ, not being able to understand even a simple sentence. But I do agree I should have used ful after the word wonder so here we go; It’s a [bold]wonder[/bold] how [bold]full[/bold] of BS you really are! Sorry for the misspelling of “ful” but I aimed this jibberish at a level you could understand, hopefully that is.

    College, who are you kidding with that comment, just more of your BS. You see maturity develops stronger from a college education plus working in the real world and having responsibilities. Your obvious lack of maturity shows everyone here your demeanor. These slams are kiddy stuff, for a little boy’s amusement, that’s why you’ll always be our [bold]Little Man Johnny and just a Sad Sack of BS as this name that you are using now applies![/bold]

    If you have no other names then why state that you would rather piss me off with “this one,” Sadsac, which is a contradiction of what you’re stating right after that comment. Another [bold]Little Man[/bold] error on your part. [bold]But the best part of this thread and your comments here are that they twin the vary same comments used just before madgreek got banned.[/bold] Isn’t that strange?

    This is what you wanted, not a battle of wits, you lack in that department, but just doing something so that someone can notice you, acknowledge that you actually exist, even if it has to be by playing your many games here on aD. Using aliases and answering your own posts is a very sad and lonely thing. That’s why you feel challenged and threaten that someone might find you out. I have pity for you and maybe with time and maturity you can out grow your childish games played at the expense of others here on aD. Others like you in this world also take extremes to be noticed and that usually leads to someone’s ill fortune. I guess at least here, you just become a little pest that we can tick off our shoulder every now and then.

    [bold]But take this to the bank Little Man, anytime I see you bash anyone without good cause, I will call you out, point you out, and hopefully end the embarrassment you give to others/Newbies, that just wanted an answer to their question.[/bold]

    Have you ever seen dRD slam a Newbie for their improper use of English?
    Have you ever seen any Mod slam a Newbie here for their improper use of English?

    Again I repeat, its not your place!

    Can you understand that fact that the world doesn’t need to conform to you?

    [bold]You used the term in your previous post about Bitch Slap;

    Little Man, your cheeks must be so sore by now! [/bold]

    Edit: “No need to fill your alter ego with another thread, this one works just fine for that I’m sure!.”

    I don't think anyone here will give you the satisfaction that you are looking for -sadsac- in your "official SadSac bashing thread"

    I will gladly tell someone not to multipost and I will aslo tell someone to read the forum rules. If that is acting like a "mini-mod" then so be it. I try to help the community as best as I can so thats what I do.

    We all try to keep this place clean by enforcing the forum rules and thats what makes aD great...Its a community not just 'Hey leave this to the mods type of attitude.

    If pissing people off was your intention then you have done it. So why don't you take you advice and "hide in the corner for a few minutes, lick my wounds, then correct myself accordingly"

    Figured I would drop my 2 cents on this one...or what little I can muster.

    Sadsac, yeah what was said was said and done...

    Now, I am still a noob, I don't care what the status says next to my name, but even if I am, helping and pointing to someone in that particular direction IS not just for MODS. Like it was stated, this is a community, where we are all here to help each other.

    I have seen alot of the comments made by senior members and addict members, even newbies. The fact remains that this all boils down to socializing. If you have a problem, then that is on you. I know what you are saying, but it really pissed alot of people off from what you said. Even though this is the Safety Valve channel, it definately can rub someone the wrong way the way people approach subjects. And even how they bring it out.

    There was one particular person who I didn't truly care for, and pretty much went back and forth with him, till a MOD decided to step in. But that is what they are there for. I hear what you are saying, but if it is a real grip for you, then definately let a MOD know or do the "Offensive Post." That is what there job is.

    Directing someone to the proper place is everyones responsibiltiy, but I agree, it would be nice to help them out if they can. But sometimes, it doesn't always work out that way.

    I don't have no issue with you sadsac or anyone else here for that matter, but if it bothers you, just take a deep breath, count to 10 or 100 and just let it be. :)

    I'm not trying to be a MOD, at least not until I get some more knowledge and get my ranking up...I mean seriously, I can't even handle my own job, and I don't do anything here...lol!

    BTW...flip...thanks for moving that post, and sorry about the miss direction.

    After my first comment near the beginning of this thread I have just been watching how it has progressed. I don't know if there are multi accounts or names involved here or not. As long as the accounts are not used to cause trouble I don't really care how many names a person has. Just a word of caution for those that think they are safe behind a PC monitor and keyboard. With the proper setup, software and knowledge you can be traced right back to your front door. I enjoyed a thread involving another member (Dr Chips) when he showed another basher just how good the bashers PC protection was. In less that an hour Dr Chips had all the other guys information including name, home address and internet information. So don't think you can hide behind the NET and cause trouble. I miss the Dr Chips school of computing. You always learned something just reading his posts. This is just a general statement not aimed at anyone so please take it as such.
