If This Is Truely A Schism

[Asher]

So THAT'S what Dale went bat**** insane over? I know the details, but I've thought Asher did something more despicable.

That's what makes the situation hilarious.

[Arrian]

Oh, I imagine Dale was already upset because he'd gotten into some arguments with Asher and been needled a bit. I have no idea, but that wouldn't be out of the ordinary. So he's already irritated, and then Asher makes the joke and... kaboom, ape****tery.

No, it doesn't make much sense.

Dale was upset because he didn't like how Asher was acting and was upset that the previous administration (specifically DanQ, Ming, and rah) were not interested in enforcing his petty vendettas.

[Arrian]

And as we all know, Dan, Ming & Rah are total Asher apologists.

I must have missed the "HARDMAN" meme. (Though I did get to witness a few other classics like CivNation, blockhead, and Fez/giancarlo.)

Can anybody give me the short-wiki rundown?

HARDMAN, back in the alpha.owo and the forums.firaxis.com days, and the nascent days of poly, sidgames, and what not, would make appearances onto the forums and argue that:
U R ALL GAY TWITS.

Only he spelled "TWITS" wrong, with an "A".

Asher can be a pain in the ass, but hell, he called me a despicable person, which is far more serious than saying I'm a panda "lover." I let it go. Dale should have let it go.

[Alinestra Covelia]

Gotcha. Thanks for the rundown.

Edit: To Q Classic. Crosspost.

[Asher]

I don't even remember why I said that, but I must've had a good reason.

[Q Classic]

Actually, it's not, che.

Pandas are wonderful, and if you **** one, then you **** with all of China and everyone who likes cute pandas.

Indeed - Never understood the need to blow up and threaten people in a PM.

I've had my fair share of hilarious web threats of violence, but never death threats.
I was sent a weekend long continual rant fest sent to me by a banned loony once.
Even in my most hate-filled exchanges with utter imbeciles and nutjobs, I have
never seen the point in calling them up in PM and getting personal.

I am mystified as to why anyone would act like that.

Word wars should be settled on the boards.

Word War I was settled with the dueling sides, entrenched in their positions, refusing to give an inch; one vocal thrust after another received a terse report of a retort.

And Word War II was heralded by the rise of the Grammar Nazis.

They might have been evil, but they had the best dictionaries!

If I don't see some heretics burning soon I'm gonna consider this a lame schism. Let me offer up my brother to the flames, since he is posting with the Confederates.

You know, I was wondering about how you two are getting along just now.

[Alinestra Covelia]

Word War III will be fought using mostly unconventional digital weapons, with the Chinese deploying blanket PMs and spam emails and the Americans trying to fight their way through cheap cockpills and smurf nurse porn.

He's posting at the Rebel site and not here. I HAVE NO BROTHER!
