Hello. Lets get right to the point, shall we? 64Digits sucks, and let me say right now, that if I'm banned/warned/whatever, that only proves my point. Now, lets give some reasons, shall I? For starters, some… most of the people here are self centered, "I'm better than you"… people (wow, great way to put it, huh?). I'm not going to give names, I'll just say most.

That is the main reason however, but a good one. There is also the fact that this site frowns on newbies (frowning on n00bs is fine however, but it's also a different situation as well). This is most likely related to my first point (and most likely only point), but still. People have to start somewhere, and frowning on their actions of learning will only turn them away from what ever subject they are on (Game Maker, art, whatever). This makes the site seem like an exclusive club that no one really likes anyway (the club).

I'm sure this blog will do little to change anything, but I don't mind being a martyr in this case (if I'm banned/warned/whatever that is).

If you're looking for sympathy, noobs asking how to make a MMO when they first download GM, and being insulted by people that are worse than you; than go to the GMC. 64Digits is the ELITE, you cannot get better than the users here (though, I am very unpleased with the games that are making it though nowadays), so we have the right to be mean to people that can't code (with the exception of TG's gf because shes one hot mama). So fuck off if you don't like it, you can join the thousands of others changing sprites form examples and posting them on the GMC.

BenRK, nowhere did I state that you were attempting to say you were not self centered. I was merely pointing out the fact that this blog makes you appear very self-centered and hypocritical, the opposite of your intent. You are a mature, intelligent, and capable member, and I respect you for this, but as you yourself said, next time, please read your source carefully before stating something.

As far as not liking being self-centered, caring about yourself is not being self-centered. Its when you stop caring for others that you become self-centered. Being self-centered is not the act of caring about yourself, it is the act of not caring about others, as you cannot be self-centered and still care for others, while you <i>can</i> care for others while caring for yourself.

In short, self-centeredness is defined by the exclusion of others, and not the inclusion of self.

Like me. I'm self-centered.

I admit that. I just don't like other people.

2) Just about everyone is self-centered. You especially because you think that everyone will care enough about you to warn or ban you. Doubly so because you are saying most everyone here is self-centered and that you aren't - which sounds pretty self-centered to me.

And there it is.

And sk8m8trix, if I remember correctly, you've been banned from this site many times on faults of your own. So, like ChIckEn, you don't need me to make an ass of your self (I've been saying that a lot lately. Well, I'll try to say it less).

I pity you if you said that a lot lately seeing as it's grammatically incorrect.

should be:

You don't need me to help you make an ass of yourself.

And last time I checked you fail. You used to not fail, but now you fail. Go go up to the GMC, get on your knees, and accept Fred Fredricksons salvation like all of the other noobs over there.

FredFredrickson's salvation would be more grammatically correct, and, like DesertFox, I'd love it if you found your source on such false information.

Sorry for the mistake, but nobody is perfect, not I, not you.

My points are still valid, as I stated I was merely pointing out the fact that this blog makes you appear very self-centered and hypocritical, the opposite of your intent, to quote myself.

Your acts are beginning to show in your tone that you see yourself superior than everyone else. The fact that I said you were attempting to say you weren't self-centered, without realizing it, shows exactly how strongly you give off that feeling in this blog. Instead of listening to what I was saying, you instead try and say my points are all invalid because of 4 words that I can take out and leave the rest unaffected. Those 4 small words were not the point, as you are assuming. As stated before, you either aren't reading the comment in its entirety, or you are ignoring it.

The interesting thing is, ignoring someone else's valid point does not make it cease to exist. You are attempting to dance around, blinding people with petty technicalities, but dancing accomplishes nothing here. You are attempting to hide a crumbling facade by drawing attention to trivialities, trying to make yourself feel better by pointing out the flaws of others, no matter how small those flaws may be, or how polite they are.

I've tried to be polite, and you belittle me instead, a slap in the face. Ironic that I'm one of the people who don't fall into your little 'most everyone is self-centered' category, even though now you will undoubtedly try to place me there. You have now lost my respect. So as said before, please, get off your moral high horse. Because once you get off, you'll find your horse isn't a horse - its a donkey, and its making an ass out of you too.

I just read your little "proof" paragraph of DF's, and nowhere did it say anything about you saying you were or were not self-centered.

Also, in after troll

DesertFox 17 years ago

Actually, I did somewhat state that by accident, but instead of trying to understand what I was trying to say, he ignores everything and declares my points invalid on a technicality that if removed would not change anything.
