After reading that a new member might start off on the wrong foot with the guy, but personally I miss him. He was a great resource although very opinionated. I bet he still pops in now and then though.

He also posted after that as well. He may have been a good resource at some time, but I wasn't here for it. Just a typical internet jerk who covered his insecurities with obnoxious obscenities if you ask me. "You know the type, loud as a motor bike but wouldn't bust a grape in a fruit fight".

And remember that this guy :http://www.racketboy.com/forum/download/file.php?id=134
called someone a douche. Perplexing.

Like I said, I read that comment and was offended that the picture was "douched" because of the girl in the pictures. Maybe I read it wrong, or maybe it was what he meant, it just really made me upset and it was uncalled for. He could have phrased it better.

I just had to vent my frustration and in a way, try to remind racketboy that once in a blue moon girls DO use this forum. It seems many guys on here forget that.

The frustration builds and then it explodes. :) Time to shoot some aliens on DOOM, yes?

I get what you were thinking, but I think he meant it was 'douched' because the guy in the pictures looks like a complete tool (and from what I hear, he was).

The "douche factor", if you will, was focused on the guy's hair, clothes, and hand gestures. Nothing about the girl seemed douchey.

That came out wrong.

im pretty sure, like everyone was saying, he was pointing out the guy. Even so, mozgus officially left sometime ago, even posting that he was going to leave. a some people had illwill, and some liked him. either way you see it, he was always a bit offensive.

Well, just try seeing it both ways. I know I was not alone in my interpretation because even the guy it was directed to responded with "non.. what? If you mean a solo pic.."

The statement Moz made is not clear enough to actually indicate whether it is directed to him or her. That is what makes it so offensive.

Ok, I am tired of this now. Moving to another thread about Sonic. :)

i'm a girl and i call guys who are total tools or jerks douches and douchey all the time. i never thought of it that way, using the word to refer to a chick in a picture in any hurtful way. I guess I should be more mindful of how some other people might perceive things I myself find harmless. Anyway, cheers new user! Nice to see another lady representin' retro gamers. :P 8)

For what it's worth, holaback hasn't posted in a year and hasn't posted regularly since mid 2009.

Mozgus "officially" left the forums in September 2009. He's been back just a handful of times since.

Welcome to the forums.
