Jeez it got hostile in here right quick.
Look, I'm sure we can all get our ideas across without all the outright flaming, passive aggressive implications, and accusations, so can we do that? No insults and stuff? I know all of you are intelligent people, and I like you guys, so it's rather depressing to read this stuff.
Right now, all of us (me included) are acting like children. I don't mean that offensively, it's just my personal observation. Please think about your resposes, and at least try to be nice. Kindness costs nothing in my opinion, and anger just leaves you feeling bad all day. Besides, it nets more respect than being mean does anyway.
So can't we all just get along?

Well first of all, because I'm talking to him right now and he respects me just fine =\Secondly, because you can talk back to him. You could pm him. If you feel he's being immature then you could even email him like he suggested and settle it in private.
Thirdly, he never disrespected me, only the people he saw were disrespectful to him. Note: I did not say the people who were disrespectful, this is not my way of insulting someone.
Lastly, because he never actually did make a sock before that, he saw through a friend. You accused him and he proved you wrong on one act. Yes, he broke a lot of rules in the process but he personally had nothing to lose but respect of people. You didn't have to comment back to him O_o Marie, you deal with things in your way.
I never said that I don't respect you, I just said I do respect him. When I arrived as a new person to this site I was accused of many things. Being a sock because KMC for some reason has few actual people. Being a male, by you, which I do not hold against you. And I've constantly been commented on even by you for my age. Jacope is one of the few people on this site who welcomed me gladly and for that and many other things, I respect him.
Now can we drop this before it gets more out of hand then it already is?
1. So that excuse the handful of people he returned to insult? Maybe you think you matter as much as that bunch combined.
2. But you said it's sad to talk back to him. And obviously, he can talk back to me. I can easily rest my case, because as I said in my post a while back, JacopeX can defend himself as well. He has done it through a sock before, and I know for a fact that he follow what's going on here.
3. I'm sorry, but you don't really matter here. Him talking to you is a product of spare time, but he returned to insult and demean several people. That was his purpose for returning. If you think it was to "defend his name", that's your choice, but it's abundantly obvious that he's more interested in telling people how wrong they are, than proving them wrong.
And yes, there's a difference. A huge one.
4. And you blindly take his word for it, a man you supposedly don't know. A man you yourself has confessed knowly barely, if at all. He didn't prove me wrong. He just said something against what I said, and you decided that his words are more truthful than mine, probably because you view him as the victim rather than the agitator.
And I must ask, what's more important than respect for your fellow man? What's worse to lose? I didn't have to comment back, but judging by your previous philosophy, I had every right and reason to do so. You spoke, as recent as only pages ago, about the importance of being able to stand up for yourself.
And now you say that I didn't HAVE to reply? You need to get your philosophies right. Should people, or should people not defend themselves when treated injustly?
5. I didn't say you don't respect me. I've never said that. I don't decide such things.
I haven't touched your age, I don't care for it one bit. What I said, was that the way you answered "Age" in your profile post was rather offensive. I took offense, ergo I considered it offensive, something you ended up making a big deal out of.
As for your gender, it's nothing personal. Never has been. I view the entire internet as male, and I have to be convinced otherwise to change my mind about an individual. It doesn't matter what your gender section in the profile says.
As for welcoming you to the forum, he wasn't the only one. Many did, me including, but you rather rapidly jumped into a discussion you had little footing in, with people who were greatly intregrated in the situation. You spoke opinion based on very little, and THAT will put you in bad light.
So let me put it bluntly: I've never cared who you are, or who you claim to be. It doesn't matter to me. You're asexual Phoenix3068 to me, and that's everything you'll ever be.
