no, not infringing, that's ridiculous. just refusing to hear me and disliking me off the bat simply because i'm american. writing me off, as it were.


You're not an american, you're a drama queen.
Anyway, I think people discussing with you in this forum can make the difference between a government and citizens. I really don't think anyone actually dislikes you here, either.

even though I have been banned to have a gun because I am Scottish and I have probably not been killed yet, personally if I were the trump I would not go extreme to ban the guns because the gun is not too different to the knife or the first stone,

it is rather the major systemic issue where people will vote to kill themselves off as much as they will kill themselves with the gun, one needs a wide ass change of culture on that, let he who is without sin cast the first gun cheers and USA USA USA ************* lol


Hey verriker long time no see!!

WTF happened in this thread while I wasn't looking.

Look, you're an interesting guy who makes good points and has fresh ideas when you're not high so I like reading your posts. When I browse a thread and I see a post from Sal or artu that I can skim for the information in five seconds, I check them. When I see your posts I'm like "Ooh, freddy!" but if it's one of those cryptic wordsearch ones that will take me fifteen minutes to get a clue, I'm going to have to skip it. I simply don't have that kind of time.

i've stated before, that i don't even believe for a second this thread is a genuine attempt at "help". do you understand just WHY i might think that?


When did trying to help a guy turn into a lynch mob. What the hell has been going on here in HC for things to be taken this way? Did Val's monetisation of the site really turn this into such a hostile site so fast?

If so, I'm siriously disappoint.

i don't know what to tell you. i don't feel like i get anything across to people unless i enuciate words. this is both here and irl. and again, sadly, i don't reach them regardless. but at least i feel i've made my point as clear and concise as possible, afterward.


Ever thought there might be better ways of doing it? If what you're aiming for is "I made it this clear and concise and they still didn't get it, they must be stupid."-feeling of accomplishment then yea, that's the way to go. But if what you're looking for is actually getting your point understood(not agreed with, important distinction) across, there could be improvements to be made.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results after all.


PS. I had totally forgotten Ohforf was confined to the well back then

i'm not writing anything in aramaic. it's english, ffs. if my posting style bothers you, then don't read my posts. but don't think that you can create a thread to "teach" a man in his late 30s who's been reading adult novels since he was 7, and who used to write stories and poems for years, how to type clearly and concisely; and not be called out on your bullsnow. this whole thread was a bait thread, and it was an attempt to ridicule me because you didn't like what i posted(or my stance, or whatever it was) in the mass shootings thread.

your timing of the op, and the pompous and arrogant ridiculousness of this thread makes it quite obvious what your intent was, here. i have no doubts whatsoever of it's malicious nature. you can hide behind that half-assed veil of innocence all you want, but it doesn't change the truth.

I don't care about how many sex novels you've read or written. I don't care if you've got a doctorate for literature. I'm saying you can and should do better.


I'm free all day this sunday. Do you have teamspeak3 and a mic? You can get teamspeak3 for free on their site(not sure if we're allowed to post links in hc?) I have a server I run downstairs in my kitchen, I can give you access to it and we can go through your posts together.

What timezone are you and what is a good time for you? I'll make sure to be online then because I think you're worth it.

by "adult" i meant, "not kids books". i'm not referring to porn. my first adult book was "jaws" by peter benchley. after that, i read stephen king, robert r. mccammon, etc. i used to pick up true crime novels along with garfield, doonesbury, calvin and hobbes, and the far side comic books; at the libraries. i learned to understand the definitions of many words i didn't know, just by how they fit into what was written. i have NO lack of language understanding, and i CLEARLY do not have anything wrong with my writing, whatsoever. it's PAINFULLY obvious what you're doing here. that ANYONE would fall for this snow you're pulling with this thread, leaves me to think that they have other motives for siding with you, entirely. and guess what? i'm probably right. because most of the people who "believe this is a genuine thread" are... wait for it... the OTHER people who were arguing with me for 20+ pages in that thread. big surprise there. if you can't win an argument with me in one thread, it's time to pathetically ridicule me in another, right? and you know what sucks? if i try to stay positive about their involvement in this thread, and attempt to give them the benefit of the doubt on this, then that means they lack the facilities to understand what's going on in this thread; which NO ONE should be able to miss. so on the one hand, you have an obvious attack that others may actively be taking part in. on the other, you have people who cannot see how obviously, that this is an attack. quite the issue you're causing with this thread. widening the gap, as it were, while merely claiming to be trying to bridge the gap.

and didn't you say, yourself, that you were a sociopath? you sure did. i remember you claiming straight-out that you were a sociopath. but it seems that you removed that post, or it was in a deleted thread. lucky you, that the post where you didn't say "practically" no longer exists. but there IS this post, though.


and, what stevie said. just because i use italics, caps, bold, or different colors, doesn't mean the language i'm typing changes. not one little bit.

Fred, I am pretty sure this thread wasn't made to humiliate you, this is just how Joonas communicates, remember how he met with Elvin last time?
It took you two pages to understand they were joking around, what makes you so sure you're not misinterpreting again this time?

I think you're getting completely off-track with the gun topic.

if you can't put two and two together, about how it was arguing for 20+ pages in the mass shooting thread that was the reasoning for joonas creating THIS thread, i don't know what to tell you. i mean, ffs. look at the timeline, man.

joonas and elvin are close friends. they've met irl, and they do a lot of friend stuff together. which was something i wasn't aware of, beforehand.

regarding THIS thread, i HAVE foreknowledge(and so should you, if you were following everything that was going on). so your comparison in this matter, is wrong.

Let me also point everyone to the CoC, where singling out any member in a provocative nature is not allowed. Even if JoonasTo's attempt by his own words isn't meant that way, Fred perceives it as such.

I would like to request everyone to just take a step back and take a breath or two. It's obvious things are somewhat tense; taking a short time-out might loosen things up a bit here.

i'm not mad at all, this snow is just ridiculous to me. i'm only pointing out the obvious, hoping that everyone else gets it. the only reason i bothered responding again, is because joonas brought it back up. why don't you ask him why he did so?

Edited by Stevie at 22:32, 09 Mar 2018.

I've seen threads with better intentions and an incomparably more eloquent OP that got closed for painting a target on a member's back (husham, frostysh).
Cases with a far better arguments that could've been made an example of and established as a precedent weren't made so (for a very good reason).
I've seen standout members like JJ using similar emphasis methods, no one complained or pointed fingers.
I did it myself in the Heroes 7 thread at times, wasn't said anything.
Any "advice" or pointing out I had I did in private, not in public.

So my question is: how is this thread not closed yet? Fred is obviously not okay with being called out for his posting style, and I can't see why he should be (although, don't get me wrong, I think there's great advice in this thread, but it ultimately comes down to freedom of expression, especially when it does not conflict in any way with the COC).

i don't have a problem with this thread existing, or even unlocked. imo, it's a blatant reminder of the kind of mentality i am constantly up against. everything that has been argued in this thread against me, only serves to prove my point; and strengthen the resolve of what i already know. that anyone doesn't see the truth of what i have said, is their problem. i have no doubt though, that they'll see the truth if they clear their heads of any misgivings, and actually attempt to follow what i'm saying.

the proof is there for anyone who wants to look. it should take no more than 5-10 minutes for anyone to see that i'm not talking out of my ass, here. i mean, this thread is proof in itself, ffs. there's nothing wrong with how i communicate with others. i make myself crystal-clear.
