He/she made their opinions known to the person they were having trouble with. And it IS Vaskez's business with that person, not ours. (and no, for those of you who are already speculating.. it was not me! [img]tongue.gif[/img] )

Seeing as that I'm the only one in the entire thread who voiced criticism about that e-mail, that part is probably directed at me.

Oh well. I don't change my opinion about what I've said earlier in this thread, namely that I think it's simply against the rules of common decency to send out e-mails like that; even if those persons were trying to make a point by explaining why they don't like someone's attitude, it becomes completely void if you resort to name calling like using the word "loser", as is the case if I read Vaskez' initial post correctly.

It simply doesn't sound like that these persons were "just" trying to "voice their opinions", as you put it, but more an ordinary rant which, if posted on IW, would have been deleted right away and the author(s) would have been warned/suspended/banned.

I'm not really "dissing" them, more using this example as a generalization of my opinion on such a matter, in case you're wondering why all of the above wasn't restricted to PM/e-mail conversations... Not that calling names would hurt me in any way, but my respect for people resorting to sending abusive e-mails simply drops considerably; they should think before they act. Sorry.

Anyways, now I've clarified my opinions a bit, I will follow your suggestion and drop this matter; nothing to be gained here by continuing, only things to be lost, so it seems.

Edit: Saz, I completely agree with what you wrote in the bottom paragraph. [img]smile.gif[/img]

AH MAN, my J/K didn't show up, I spent like 3 minutes making it for you, It disapeared. Why? Oh well, and one more thing, I love sarcasm, It is what makes my school days shorter. (I can't explain how, it just works) I couldn't live in school without it. (by the way, in case your wondering, I visit this site alot during my study halls, and usually right when I get back from school) but about the person who emailed you, how can they email you if your email icon isn't there to give them your email. Do you know them from somewhere? Or are they just scamming you, or did you even get an email for real?

Black Dragon, if you want to do ASCII art, you'll need to put in a font tag that changes the font to Courier, like this:

< font face="Courier" > (leaving out the spaces).

Example:

XXX............XXX
.XXX..........XXX.
..XXX........XXX..
...XXX......XXX...
....XXX....XXX....
.....XXX..XXX.....
......XXXXXX......
.......XXXX.......
......XXXXXX......
.....XXX..XXX.....
....XXX....XXX....
...XXX......XXX...
..XXX........XXX..
.XXX..........XXX.
XXX............XXX

Testing to see if this works...
-Saz

P.S. Sure does, just forgot my last line.

Fixed!

Never had a prob with you Vaskez, and if I did, I'd put it down to Magyar - Australian cultural differences.

Sazerac · 01-24-2002, 09:19 PM

Oh, one other thing, Black Dragon...on Vaskez's email, I assume that they found that through his home page link. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Cheers,

LOL no worries! You may very well be right! Obviously we don't know the content or tone of the messages Vaskez got. I was being rather 'general' there I admit. [img]smile.gif[/img]

And I know what Saz is referring to, so I will add that if it's excessive, by all means.. killfile!

Cloudy

PS, Vaskez... what I meant was that I don't think you would post emails, dear! [img]smile.gif[/img] And for the rest.. take it all tongue in cheek.. I like your stuff.. most of the time.. hehe! [img]graemlins/biglaugh.gif[/img]

Grand-Ranger · 01-24-2002, 11:13 PM

Well first thing you have to realize is people get offended extremely easy on these fourms.

But I guess you cant expect much less with a fourm with so many people on it.

Wait a minuite, that doesnt have any thing to do with the mater does it? Hehe [img]smile.gif[/img]

What have you done now Uncle Vask? You've been yourself? D'oh!!

[img]tongue.gif[/img]

FWIW, I think you're ok, but then again it takes a lot to personally offend me. You're not a malicious person AFAIK and I don't think you've ever purposefully flamed anyone.
