Phoenix Posted December 10, 2000 Share Posted December 10, 2000 It would appear that you created that place so you could have a place to act like a spoiled child. Of the few messages I've seen posted by you none have been constructive. You even called Fionn - "Fionna" and said he couldn't possibly know anything about CM. What the hell?? Do you have some kind of problem with BTS or Fionn? Both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've lost track of the number of times I've seen typos, bad constructions, and outright misspellings in Maximus's posts, including his classic inability to correctly spell 'rebuttal' twice, once in the subject header, and again in the first post where he apologized for spelling it wrong by spelling it wrong again (thread locked by BTS before anyone who felt like it could point out how quaint it was). ------------------ Tremble, tyrants and you perfidious opprobrium of all the parties, Tremblez! your parricidal projects finally will receive their prices!

I mean, at the very least people should have correct spelling in their topic headers. Note that Gunny Bunny never responds to posts in his own topic - he probably just wants more people in his newsgroup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AbnAirCav Posted December 10, 2000 Share Posted December 10, 2000 <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>... act like a spoiled child.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Yep, GB is pretty bad ... I've wondered if it's really an imposter out to discredit GB and sabotage the NG? Given the limited ability of the Internet to see who we're talking to, I agree that whoever this GB is their newsgroup postings have also lead me to believe it is in fact a spoiled child who is on the other end ...

Guest MantaRay Posted December 10, 2000 Share Posted December 10, 2000 What is with all of this Fionn bashing anyway? Is it that people are jealous of his knowledge of WWII? Or that he plays CM really well? Sad really, as Fionn has added quite a bit of historical knowledge (before the ban that is) and seems to be a good guy IMO. Too bad a few people (to remain nameless) baited him into going on the offensive (that may have led to his removal here). Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Tom Posted December 10, 2000 Share Posted December 10, 2000 Well isn't this lock n' ban bait. Rob/1, I mean, the Canadian school system isn't THAT bad now, is it? Jeepers. Frankly, you are just as bad as Maximus for baiting, and just as ignorant. How about you just ignore what he says (and get a spell checker or phonics), and he ignores what you say? No offense (or is it offence?) but your spelling is probably the worst that I have seen in quite a while, and I am currently volunteering at an Elementary school working with learning disabled children in Grade 1 how to spell and write correctly. (no joke!) Seriously, you should really take care of this problem right away, before you get out in the working world where really literacy counts. PS. I also liked and respected Fionn. It is too bad things went they way they did. Bashing him is uncalled for. [This message has been edited by Major Tom (edited 12-10-2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freyland Posted December 10, 2000 Share Posted December 10, 2000 Well, gee, since we are bashing about here a bit, I guess it is my turn. Rob/1, I frankly can live with your spelling. However, as noted above, you are also a "baiter", and frankly I find most of your commentary immature. Also, you made a big deal about leaving the forum a while ago, and then came back. Why did you do either of those things? For those reasons, I view your name in distaste. As for Fionn, he was an excellent source of knowledge, wisdom, and gameplay. Unfortunately for the world, he knew it. And lived it. Excessively. While I miss his skill on the forum, I actually feel happier knowing that there will be no posts filled with his sarcasm and "sacred cow" attitude. There, I feel better now. Somebody's turn to flame me now. Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
