Powerwanking: When a poster hypes up feats and abilities of their character to levels never shown either by exaggerrating or outright lying, and downplaying legit feats and powers of the opposing character.

i think, misrepresenting a situation in another thread to appear correct, and create conflict when there was none is quite idiotic.

I think misinterpreting someones statement is unfortunate, especially when it may result in an escalation of conflict...luckily, we are both rational people and can accept that each thread has its own context and we should not carry things over. 🙂

Swearing, a sure fire way to root out idiots. 🙂

Hmmm, I doubt it will last.

its lasted since 10/19/04, so kudos.

That's a little harsh, you haven't known me in all that time, in fact you haven't had enough experience to make that generalization...That's almost like what racists do...

No wait. IT IS! 😄
