Geez, and I thought I was combative.
He keeps sending me PM's nit picking little things and this time did it out in the open. It's tiresome. I never had this problem in 22 years using forums someone nitpicking at me and I have 2 of them now. One of them above me who I have on Permanent ignore list because anywhere I post he is there to antagonize.

Dude, it's been in the forum guidelines for three years. That thing that you're supposed to read when you join? It's not like the Terms and Conditions thing that no one ever reads; there's actually some useful information in that post.

Gonna quote this because it's the simplest thing that needs to be said.

What in the ever living fucking blue hell are you talking about? It's against the rules to use color for text now? Then why have the option. You're a mod yes but you do not need to micro manage every damn thing.


Oh look blue textand here!and hereand over here!and even here!my god it's here to! Please think of the children! The blue text is killing the forum!

Seriously tho if I want to use blue text I will. No way in hell that is a rule.
It isn't a rule. It is forum convention, part of our current culture. There are lots of other colors, but if you use blue, people will interpret you sarcastically, even if they know that wasn't your intent. And we will find it amusing, be assured. I was just giving you a heads-up.

Another hint for ya: don't shit on a mod.

99.9% of forums have the same guidelines also can play semantics with guidelines vs actual rules. This forum is that .1%. I have always used blue text. This is one of the few forums I don't use it in every post. So when I do use it again it WON'T be for sarcasm after this post. It's still fucking stupid. You don't need a color for every emotion or whatever. Stupid and not going with it.

I am playing Sorcery. It is a fun, Lone Wolf-style choose your own adventure game by Steve Jackson. I like the world of Lone Wolf more. but this excelled at a smart phone game presentation. It is very enjoyable.

If you think that was shitting on a mod then you never seen shitting on a mod. I called you on on something you didn't explain esp how you nit pick in PMs. Hell you never truly seen what shitting on a mod is if you think that is. I'd like to see you on a gaming forum spend hours cleaning up 500 scat porn pics and tubgirl and a video game forum from a troll. Because that was fun let me tell ya.

All i did was post about a game I liked and all the sudden everyone is on my case. I hate being crowded online and offline and fires up the crippling anxiety legit and yeah when I am crowded I am fight or flight mode.

I will bow out of this topic for a bit now anyways.

I think we'd all have lower blood pressure if you'd err on the "flight" side of that. It tends to work out better for all involved.

Also, Tubgirl is my girl, man; don't be trash talking bae like that.

Here's the thing you're not getting. You went against a convention, and were politely informed of that fact. You had two ways to respond:

1. Say "Oh, I didn't realize, thanks for letting me know"
2. Get defensive and throw an apparent tantrum

Guess which one you picked.
