In Response To: Re: MS's contol of Bungie? (vector40)

: You know, I think this must be indicative of the sorry current state of
: affairs in our society.
: When a man cannot simply accept a compliment, thank the giver graciously, and
: move on, clearly, I think, there is a warped mentality of paranoia
: running- shall we say, rampant?
: Now, Zaknafein, this is my turf, and I don't want to start any flame wars
: that look like the leaning tower of Ones and Zeroes any more than (I
: assume) you do. I'm the one that will have to stay and clean up (well,
: live with) the mess when you've flown back to whatever your little
: hidey-hole is you usually frequent.
: Now, generally, when one considers the term "insult" (this is
: English, mind you, in case there's confusion), one can speak of one of two
: things. There is the passive insult, the form of which usually takes the
: form of a noun, as a subject. Then, there is the active noun, involving
: verbs associating a subject in an action of questionable likelihood and
: integrity (e.g. "go take a flying leap", "stick your head
: up a donkey's hoof marks", "your mother wears combat boots"
: or "[beep][beep][beep] FISH!). Seeing as the only active terms in my
: above stated sentence are extremely valid remarks relating to Bungie and
: Microsoft, and the game Halo, I will have to assume you do not mean those.
: This leaves us with the passive remarks, namely, the subjects.
: Let us examine them ::clears throat, picks up chalk:
: I use two terms to relate to you, Zaknafein, "man", and
: "genius." Now, to be perfectly honest, I am already in a state
: of confusion. The general usage of these terms- both of them, mind you- is
: for the most part considered to be on of endearment or admiration.
: "Man" refers to the species Homo Sapiens Sapiens, as well as the
: male of that species, as well as (as it is used here) a colloquial slang
: meant merely to address associates. "Genius", used in a
: sentence, is usually understood to express a person of above-average
: intelligence, education, or mental capacity, as well as a level of IQ
: testing opposing "cretin" and just above "gifted".
: I am afraid that, in past experience, I have been taught of these terms to
: both be postive- one friendly and jocular, for moments of
: lightheartedness, one respectful and revering, for giving acknowledgment
: to betters.
: Clearly, though, I am mistaken in these things. Perhaps you, as a genius, who
: has expressed himself to be as such to his utmost capabilities with
: scintillating discussion, impeccable grammer and spelling, flawless
: etiquette, and brilliant points of debate.
: I am at your command, oh noble one.

: MS WANTS TO DOMINATE THE CONSOLE MARKET. they dont really care about money.

: Sound familiar?

: I'm dazzling you with my ability to manipulate words and blinding control of
: expressive imagery. Sheesh.

: CHEERS!

whoa!!! ive never seen such amazing usage of the english language in my life!! i mean, u MUST be an english prof or something, dude! =0

too bad ure brilliant control of this language does nothing to win a debate..sigh =(

i was actually surprised to see u go to such low levels..ive lost all my respect for u...there wasnt much to begin with, so dunna worry! =b

PS:

i will be replying to no more of ure posts unless they are worth my time..keep insulting me, if u want, ill just laugh all the harder at u.
