MtG Exposed...? Support Apolyton, buy Alpha Centauri

Would it be unreasonable to assume MtG is harsh on fairly innocent, more or less rule-abiding and respectful Apolyton posters and/or part time trolls in order to drive up traffic for the modless FFZ? It would be quite a plot that should be looked into pronto by our speedy admin staff.

Yeah... get a grip. You were the one jumping in and adding just insults and nothing else to the thread. I agree with MtG... and will do the same as he suggests if you continue to act in such a manner.

it's just a thought, cp, no need to get all up in it. imran was ripping people for their negative opinions on HP, and at the same time it was kinda ridiculous the way he was pouring over a children's book like that.

No big deal, yet you complained here, and at FFZ.

I didn't complain at FFZ, I mentioned it casually. Take a breath dude, you're working yourself up over something pretty stupid, and at the same time demonstrating that you can't take a simple joke when it presents itself (also re/ffz).

Trying to cover your ass after the fact fools nobody.

Telling me to take it easy when you brought this up twice only shows your full of the brown stuff.

It's so nice of you to defend someone, but who are you referring to?

Actually, the last thing I want at FFZ are the dregs of posters from other sites who can't handle the basics of common sense or at least minimal courtesy towards the rest of the forum.

Ahem. MtG? Chris needs a warning, too. Isn't he jumping in and adding nothing but insults to the thread? "I'm full of brown stuff"? C'mon!

Now, whether you think it's true or not is irrelevant. Harry Potter is a children's book, after all, no one disputes that either. If it's such a widely accepted fact that I'm full of "brown stuff", surely then I could claim the same for HP and its target audience, and argue in a similar manner as cp is now.

Double Standard.

Wiggy wigging out! Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

How foolish you are, wiggy.

First, I didn't disrupt someone's legit thread, YOU did.

Second, I didn't try to embariss a moderator with a thread in the comunity section, YOU did.

Third, I didn't follow said moderator to his web site to continue the whine, YOU did.

Forth, I never accused a moderator of trying to drum up members for his site, a sure insult, YOU did.

Ergo, not only are you full of it, it's over following, or would like to claim you don't care again, yet YOU continue to bring it up.

I wonder if you will grasp any of this, or will you continue your "it's no big deal" speal.

Give up the game, YOU lost.

I disrupted a frustrating love fest, nothing else. My post was on topic, just a bit too sharp. Just like yours are now. They're either good or bad, take your pick and be done with it.

my theory Support Apolyton

H Tower's theory on Wiglaf's whining: His parents must not like him and he has no real friends. Therefore he came here and tried to make some, but he couldn't. So now he tries to troll and get attention that way, but that didn't work either, so now he whines to get attention. And look at all the attention he's getting, we're doing what he wants! Everyone should turn away and ignore "wiggy's" thread, that way he'll go back to trolling, or at least attempting too and we can just ignore him when he tries to hard

i just find it amusing to here you whine, i have no grudge, next week when Asher or AH or anyone else starts to whine, (not that I expect those two to whine specifically) i'll laugh at them too when the mods and admins ignore them. the general rule would here would seem to be live with it or go elsewhere, whining doesn't help.

In terms of giving him attention, the presence of your theory prooves you the worst culprit. Why spend the time and attention necessary to come up with a theory?
