If so, welcome back! If not, might as well start making that second account now. A ban on an online forum could never actually change my view. I have the exact same feelings on the issue that led to my ban today as I did when I was posting in that thread. The only thing that will change is me no longer making my view known here on issues like this. Its just better for everyone. This is a gaming website anyways and I should learn to stay within that boundary. I'm certain there are forums to debate contentious topics with more leeway.

You should consider yourself lucky that you weren't permed. If I were permabanned for that then things would have been as they should be. It would simply mean that my personality is incompatible with those of this community. There is nothing wrong with that. The real sin would be to actually pretend and post things that go against the grain of my very soul simply to be agreeable and avoid bans. This is unacceptable. Thankfully, I am actually under no obligation to post my thoughts on all matters so I can just simply avoid posting in any topic that could ultimately cause my banning. The basic truth is that no one really needs to know what I actually think about anything. Its not important. This is a wonderful place to get information about certain things. People here are very helpful, friendly, willing and in some domains, knowledgable, but debates ? Thats a nono for me. Im done with that.

The lengthyness of my posts were my attempts to make it more personable by trying to paint an as accurate a picture as I possibly can of my views on the matter to the readers so can understand more clearly why I feel the way I do. Normally, I don’t actually care who gets offended and wouldn’t make the slightest effort to give more insight into my mind. The only reason I did that here is because I realized that people here are quite sensitive about certain topics so I tried to be as informative as I could while maintaining my unique point of view. I failed obviously and learned that its better to simply stay out of such topics here. You just got my respect. Few enough people can write something like this and reform themselves. I hope that you have a great time on TL! Hm? He didn't reform anything - he essentially just said he has the sense to keep quiet on topics where he can't control himself. And he did that while being passive aggressive, because we're "too sensitive to handle him". Yeah, as if that's even why he was banned. I'm reading someone who hasn't changed at all. My intent to approach this forum differently is reform. I dont think its fair for you to expect my ideas and/or opinions to change. Look at you actin' all high and mighty. Good on you man, fight the good fight. Keep yourself close-minded and don't ever change your opinion, god knows that only ever leads to trouble. (For the thick amongst us. Why should the medium of the opinion change how you view it? Just because you're reading it on an internet forum instead of real life means you won't take it seriously and can't be bothered trying to change yourself? Kk) Anyways, page 1000... it approaches...
What is it that really bothers you. My manner of communicating my views or my views themselves ?
I sincerely apologize if my manner was offensive, im really sorry for that, but I dont apologize for any feelings I have on the subject matter itself. Either way, ill will not involve myself in such a fiasco again.

I haven't followed any of your posts, nor the one that got you banned, but you are getting somewhat close to mucking up this thread.
I cannot resist the temptation to say that there is a famous distinction between argumentation and mere rhetoric that corresponds to your manner versus substance distinction. Mere rhetoric can be ignored as fluff, but immoral substance is quite inexcusable when revealed. But if anyone feels like talking more about this, let's shift to PM's.

So, Megalisk, no report button for u?

He's been here long enough to just pm a friend instead of using the "impersonal" button!

I'm getting my report button in just... uh, 6 months. BUT BELIEVE ME, when I do, there will be hell to pay! I'll probably end up getting banned/warned for spamming reports 
In fact, I will be the first person to martyr in a report.

Some facts about the report button:
You can't report people who have already been reported, so you have to be fast. 1 post -> 1 report
You can't report people in closed threads.
You can report PM's.
When you report, you have to write the reason why that post is report worthy.
And I just noticed that the ABL is the only place where BW people and SC2 people coexist in peace, united in their hatred on trolls.

What are the criteria required for earning the report user option?

You get it exactly 1 year after your join date, so YOU still have to wait a long, long time. Huahuahua!

Putting this in the 10 commandments thread. Genius.

You have that many posts in 5 months?
:O
Also, my guess of page 1000 on friday (USA time) is looking good.

You would more likely be the 500th+ to martyr in a report -.-.

Nah, the Blog section is a bit neutral too, but then again, not many people take that seriously so

Oh lol... people do that? Like, "I'll probably get warned for making this report but..." rofl
TehTemplar: My posting rate has slowed down considerably, I don't participate in LR's too much anymore. At one point I got over 1k posts in a little under a month... If i kept that up I would probably be at 4k or something now, but since then i've realized there's not that much point in having a high post count just for the hell of it. Not that I ever posted specifically just to up my posts, but nonetheless the importance of it has decreased in my mind.
2.6k posts firebat is bad enough imo 
edit: EXCUSE ME 2.7k firebat

They hold a tourney in the mortal realm...
Only one man can be the victor...
The fate of the report button will be decided by...
MORTAL KOMBAT!!!

I don't think I've ever come up with anything good to write in my reports.
I mean the post is right there for the mods to see!?!
So I usually resort to bad one-liners.
Have never tried martyring yet.
