Geez, you people really are welcoming and kind, aren't you? Tarkan is coming back, and he's giving us that information. Can't you at least be a little happier, or excited? Heavens, it's like you wish he was dead! And if you do wish that, then you will be.

And respectful isn't the word, Ryuxz. How about, "active", or "helpful"? And Viper's not an NWO. ^-^;

well, listen kid, what people been saying is not that they aren't happy to see TarkanX back... but face the facts, its been 2 years of RETIREMENTS and BACKs for TarkanX... so we are accustomed to seeing him back and out like that !

and you made it look like it was a big events in itself !
it would only if he would really get back for a while which we all know he won't !

That's why you're upset. Because he kicked you out of one of his games? You have a grudge over something that has probably happened countless times to you already? Look, just keep your grudges away from this place, and most especially, from everyone else.

That does not matter Karma. The fact of the matter is, he has returned. That's the only important thing here. It's important to always welcome people when they've come back to you, especially when they're important to you. If they're a friend of yours, or if you really care for them, then you will be happy to see them, and sad to let them go -- no matter how many times that happens. That's why it is a big deal; at least to me. I despise everyone who would try to think it foolish, and I condone thoughts like the ones I've just quoted.

In fact, someday, you will come back to a place you haven't been to in a long time, and you will not be greeted warmly. Then you will understand why it is important to always greet the ones you care about. The feeling that comes from being forgotten, or from becoming a side thought is something that I would not wish upon any soul.

Roll........ur a dumb girl, i never said i have a grudge on him..or upset towards him. DID U EVEN HERE ME MENTION ANYTHING ABOUT GRUDGES?!? what an ediot.. :angry:

Roll
03-25-2004, 04:31 PM
Before I begin, unicom, it's "idiot" not "ediot". I don't know where you got ediot from, but in this forum, we try to speak english.

Firstly, don't write in all capitals like that. Do you know how many internet etiquette codes you just broke by doing that?

Secondly, I am not dumb. I just call 'em as I see 'em, and I saw (from YOUR post) that you have/had a grudge on Tarkan because he kicked you from a game.

Thirdly... read what you wrote. In this topic, after reading everything placed down, etc., what you wrote makes you sound like you have a stupid grudge. Forgive me if I was wrong, but you have to think before you post or talk. It your own stupidity that allows people to create assumptions; anyone smart would have held their toungue about something like that in a topic like this.


Shadow Ryu, I doubt that you would actually know Tarkan any better than anyone here. Especially with that attitude problem.

****Yawns***LOL........are u implying that i'm stupid for spelling idiot wrong??! I don't think that would be a smart thing to do. And megaman, if i were u i would just SHUT up...i've been here since January of 2002 under my old name. I came up with this NEW name as unicorn even though it says unicom...so i don't need any comments from u, thus i don't know who u are. Roll don't start using phrases like 'em, cause u know nothing about slang. Are u suggesting that i'm speaking some unknown language by saying"we try to speak english". Anyways i have absolutely nothing against TarkanX.

well... roll, the thing is... if TarkanX wanted that kind of love so much he would have said it himself !

now even if he don't care coming back, then why would it matter more for anyone else ?

i like TarkanX he is great, that no one can say otherwise. but seriously, tell me since when has he leaved ?
he been here for the last 8 months without leaving, he just not post as often as he used to be.

if i remember right, last time he said he leaved was even before SFO came live !

so i ask, why creating a topic about a guy who didn't even leave in the first place ?

as for SHADOW RYU...
this forum is the original not BG, so fudge off with BG because it sucks bad. you may be knowing him from there, but we know him from here that was way before you even joined this game !

now fudge off will you !

well... roll, the thing is... if TarkanX wanted that kind of love so much he would have said it himself !
No one will actually ask for it, Karma. Only a fool goes around looking for praise from everyone. And if you mean that he should have made a topic.... then I disagree more. There is a rule against that, and he was made a mod. He needs to know the rules.

VX: You leave Megaman alone. He did nothing to you, except request that you don't speak to me as you did. There is nothing wrong with chivalry. If you're going to judge people by when they've joined, then you lose; we were both playing the game in the year 2001. I joined the forum in 2002. Therefore, you cannot use that as something to put us below you in any way.

"I call 'em as I see 'em." is an old phrase used by many people. While "'em" is a slang, the phrase itself and the slang term are both very weak. Therefore, even a child could understand them. What I suggested about you, was that you weren't using proper english. Since you want to be considered smart, or "the best debater (your spelling) if you want to be", then you have to learn to use that. Having good grammar helps too; but it all doesn't matter.

I don't ever think a person is stupid for mispelling a word. But this time, I shall call you stupid. Not because of your bad grammar, or your slight spelling mistakes, but because of the way you act towards, talk to, and treat others. Therefore, you are the biggest egotistical numbskull I have ever come to know in my entire stay here in the forums, and my entire life. If you ever wish to be respected, as I can tell you want so badly, you need to get a clue and actually be nicer and more respectful. No one is responsible for how many people come to like you except, of course, you.

For your own information Roll i get RESPECT, the thing is a like to keep things plain and simple NOT bitchin' like u do or trying to be the smartest like u do.

Whether you get respect or not is not always dependant on your treatment of people. And.. point out to me where I'm trying to be the smartest. I'd really like to know where that is, so I can try and tell you what I meant by the statement.

Roll u have no idea who your talking to u little girl.
You're right. I don't know who I am talking to. But that doesn't mean that what you were doing was wrong. I could care less if you were someone like..like LordCyris, or Tmy himself. If you choose to make fun of other people, or if you act like you have a grudge, or if you just want to argue all of the time, then I will talk to you like you were a little child. I'm sure others will too.

I don't appreciate the kind of insults coming out of your perverted little mouth which i hate. I DO NOT need to be considered smart unlike u who wants to go around bitchin' of how smart u are.
I don't appreciate the kind of inults coming out of your perverted mouth, and I do not need to be considered smart, unlike you who wants to go around bitchin' of how smart you are. It's amazing how well you say things that can easily be said to you.

Ur dumb again Roll.........
Like I said in the Religion thread, I do not consider myself smart; not yet. There are still many things about the world I do not understand, nor will I understand. So all I can consider calling myself, is knowledgable in a few areas (out of perhaps billions).

i simply treat everyone with RESPECT, i would never ignore even if a n00b said hi to me unlike some people i know........thinking they are cool.

Oh really? You treat everyone with respect? Did you ever notice the insults you made in so many topics? The laughing and mocking of other people? Do you want some examples? Let's put some down here, shall we? I'm sure I can find at least two examples.
How about....This topic (http://nferno666.sytes.net/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=6842)?
Or maybe...This topic? (http://nferno666.sytes.net/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=7167)

Those weren't your finest hours, were they? That isn't respectful, that is very disrespectful. And if you didn't notice, you continued your disrespect in my second example because other people continued to do so. If that's not trying to be "cool", I don't know what is.

LOL.........don't start insulting The unicorn an expect to get away with, i own u roll.........
Oh please... you don't even own the bread in your kitchen, let alone me. Also, for your information, Unicom, I don't try to get away with anything. I accept the fact that you will reply to each of my posts with something slightly disagreeable. After all.. you are the Unicorn .

.........always getting off topic, um..LOL. 16 years.......so immature and disrespectful!!!! BIG mistake kid
In case you didn't know, you're off topic too. It's funny how names and comments seem to going around full circle for you.
And don't ever comment on a person's age again like it was something to make fun of. That is terribly disrespectful, and I assure you, it will get you banned.

However, I consent to your need to be the "better" person, so I do apologize for what I said earlier. If you have to discuss this with me, you may do so in AIM, or MSN. But I am warning you, that if I catch you making fun of people like you did in those topics above, or if I catch you just trying to spam, you will not escape punishment. You were pushing the limits in the Hell topic, and you're starting to push them now.
Again, I am sorry for my assumptions, and I hope that if you want to settle this, you will do so on either AIM or MSN, where the rest of the forum cannot get involved.

I never left (at least currently this year and last year), I just said I didn't want to be a moderator since I didn't have anything left to do in the game, I didn't say I was leaving. Now I want to be dedicated to the game, but that doesn't mean I'll be in the chat rooms, since I don't play the game anymore (well, only one a month).
