Of course you are. But I didn't go to your forum and tell you how to run it, or tell your members how to behave. I just stated what I thought about the issue in the thread there and went on my merry way. I wasn't even responding directly to what anyone else had posted in the thread; if you'll notice, it was a straight cut n' paste from a post I made here a while ago. I'm lazy that way, repeating myself bores me. And of course you're "allowed" to do whatever you damn well please. Just as I'm allowed to be annoyed by it. But I haven't been annoyed by you. You're straightforwardly angry, and I can respect that.

As for rubbersushi: you are irritating. See how easy that is? Now, you can say what you like to me, straight out, you don't need all that passive-aggressive crap. Or maybe you do, I wouldn't know.

Are we really that scary? "Big" words have been perceived as an "attack", apparently, and I sincerely hope no one is about to apologize for treating other people like they know how to read.

I registered at boolprop a long time ago, because I liked all the story threads. But I wasn't about to venture into the general area because I lack time, and because it didn't look like my kind of thing. Too many rainbow Santas (would that mean he had a Mr. Clause at home? Anyhow.) I greatly appreciate that they're actually letting people discuss this topic, and so I threw my opinion in, because I would hate for anyone to think it was an opinion of a small minority.

Since you are asking something of "us", something which "we" were already fulfilling as "we" broke zero rules and I didn't see anyone who came from HERE being mean over THERE, maybe slightly snipish in reaction to other peoples' (over)reactions, but not mean, I have a request as an individual who has absolutely no authority:

Stop coming here and lecturing us or very soon someone will be tempted to stick a candy cane where the sun don't shine.

Thank you and have a splendiferous day.

Then they should learn more. Seriously. There was not one word quoted there that was terribly unusual. Don't want to feel like an ignoramus? Stop being an ignoramus then. (Hypothetically, that is; I'm not calling YOU an ignoramus.)



I don't see any bricks. I do see a lot of defensiveness. People don't mince words around here. It's not a place for the thin-skinned. When people around here get angry, we pretty much say what we think. Just like you just did. Refreshing, but you need to be able to take it as well as dish it out.

Cel's first language obviously isn't English. But acting like every native English speaker should write so she can understand perfectly smacks of a rather massive sense of entitlement. Especially since I have problems understanding her, but I'd never get huffy about it, as English is not her first language.

(I was going to put the following in that discussion as well, but then figured it might really piss some people off. You never can tell what will set off moderators, especially in the Sims community.)

Quoting a different discussion on another site seems kind of dishonorable to me, especially when you have a policy against linking to the site where that discussion is taking place.

I'm with carysehlwinn on the vocabulary thing. This is how I write, and how I speak. I stopped "dumbing down" my language when I went to college, with an immense sigh of relief. I'm not trying to show off, but I'm not going to write to be understood by every person on the planet, no matter their age or knowledge of the English language. I will use the proper words for things, and won't try to second-guess whether other people understand them or not. I assume that they do, or know how to open a dictionary.

Sneeze fetish? :shock:

I dunno, lots of women write violent misogynistic sex fantasies too, from what I've seen, both on and off the internet.

Bigsmallquack says, "A chunk of MATY is a paysite."

*snerk*

Hey, wait a minute, just a chunk? Which chunk would that be? I thought our subscription fees were going to pay for Pescado's bunker, TJ's doghouse, and, er.... Crammyboy's cock?

Capitalistic Communism: now exponentially more inefficient than either system on its own!

I could google it. But I be lazy and also technically working on a paper. What's the notice?

If I pretended I cared about EA, I'd be lying. EA is a horrible company. It's not about their EULA for me, it's about smacking down greedy people. Game mods should always live free.

Yes, the Russian mob is deeply involved in Sims 2 paysites. :roll:

I could afford any of the pay stuff I actually wanted to get. This is pure principle for me. I downloaded the following, absolutely free:
 
http://www.tessource.net/files/file.php?id=3063 "Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul aims to enhance the sense of reward, immersion and realism with extensive changes to ES IV: Oblivion's gameplay structures."

http://www.gibberlings3.net/bg2fixpack/ "This collaborative effort, including the work of modders from several different modding communities, has resulted in a fixpack that currently includes all of the fixes addressed by Baldurdash (including the Game Text Update) and several hundred new bugfixes."

http://www.pocketplane.net/mambo/index.php?option=com_content&task=blogcategory&id=81&Itemid=66 "Kelsey is a brand-new, 100% original NPC for Baldur's Gate 2. Kelsey adds dozens of inter-party banters with all your favorite characters: Imoen, Jan, Minsc, Viconia, and more, as well as hundreds of new lines of quest interjections and advice dialogue."

Oh, and virtually everything from http://www.parsimonious.org/

That's a small sampling of the great things people have made for other people to enjoy, without getting one cent from it. Modders charging for custom content is disgusting. It hurts the community when one part of it sees another part as customers, rather than someone who enjoys the same hobby. How many of these paysite people don't even play TS2?

If people are only making things for TS2 to make money, and are not employed by EA, they should stop making things immediately and go do something else with their spare time. They're dragging the community down.

Pocahantas was 11 when the events John Smith made up supposedly took place. And none of it happened. He was well-known for being a con artist, and she was EXTREMELY ticked off about the whole thing. Basically, she came to England with her husband, and was a social sensation, and Smith ran around going, "I banged her first!" Yeah, he was a lying prick.

Yes, Disney fans are extremely strange and creepy.

Um, Lizard, are you a masochist? The "life is hard" argument is not going to get you anywhere.

If you don't like us, you don't have to play with us. It won't hurt our feelings. If you don't like how people act, you don't have to hang out with them unless you work with them. That's what being an adult gives you. It also SHOULD give you some sort of perspective. Yeah, people might see us saying nasty things about them. But adults, like Solander, can take it with humor, because their egos aren't so pathetically fragile that the criticism of strangers shakes their world.
