Asher, is there a reason why you're being so rude? Lord of the mark asked an honest question, and you answered with insults. That's really unnecessary. Try to be a bit more nice.

If we hadn't had this discussion with LOTM dozens of times before I'd consider being nicer.

I very much doubt it was an honest question. If it was, LOTM's more hopeless than I'd ever imagined.

The man plays games only once they reach their 10th anniversary, then he pretends like he keeps up on the latest trends of the gaming industry and then wastes everyone's time by trying to debate them.

You know Asher, when lotm is as humble in his post as he were there, you could try to be a little more gentle.

If you're gentle with someone as they repeatedly engage in conversation without knowing anything about it, they'll just keep doing it. If LOTM wants to talk about the gaming industry, it's in his best interest to learn about the basics of it before he engages in a debate. I don't like lecturing people, but it seems all I ever do with him is lecture him and even then it's in one ear, out the other. It's an endless loop of stupid questions and bickering, and I don't understand why he doesn't argue something he knows about or put in the effort to know about this topic.

And you know this for a fact? I don't think you do. Have you ever considered the possibility that not every single person on this forum thinks exacly like you? Sometimes you have to explain things more than once, and if you want to get your point across, you'll have to be prepared for that, and not get pissy.

Comments like these are what I mean. If it was an honest question, then he didn't mean any harm by it. And you are not in a position to judge whether or not he's hopeless. Neither am I. If you want to answer his questions, then answer them in a proper manner. And if you for some odd reason think he's just asking questions to be a douche, then don't answer his questions at all. So give it a rest, pal.

Have you ever enterteined the thought that he might be curious, interested in the topics, but as a lay person he does not have the education nor the knowledge of the intricaties to understand the more complex things?

And yes Asher, I do think you like to lecture him. You lecture people all the time, always in an arrogant and downlooking manner. Even when you're on shaky grounds, you act as if you are a world champion on the subject and answer with distaste and arrogance. It's sad to see, you are a knowledgdeable man, if you just began acting like something other than a total arse, you'd be a great resource to this community. As it is now, you're nothing but a pest. Even when people try to be nice to you, you reply by biting their hand off. In the end, you are your own worst enemy.

Yes. I've argued with him for years on this site. Just who are you? Smarten up and look at the registration date. Have you ever considered that people here have debated about this stuff before you finally discovered the site?

It doesn't matter if he means any harm by it. It's annoying as hell. I very much doubt it WAS an honest question -- the way he phrased it was actually a form of an argument.

You're new here so I'm not going to add you to my ****list for this stupid conversation.

[Zanarkand]

Nikolai is growing teeth.

You should see him when he's angry ;-)

[Nikolai]

Hehe, yeah. When I'm angry I'm a tiger.

I considered that years ago when he started asking the stupid questions and making arguments in a topic he knows nothing about. Here we are, years later, and it continues as the same.

I don't like people being nice to me when it's a false, "Christian" style of nice. You're a prime example. I find your "niceness" to be incredibly annoying to the point of being artificial and naive. Maybe I can see through the bull**** that you can't, or maybe you enjoy putting up a front, but I don't.

You act like LOTM is this little child curiously looking up at the grownups here and trying to learn about the market. I don't think that's the case, and if it is the case maybe he should give up because he's been at it for years and is still utterly clueless about the subject.

Oh, are you one of Nikolai's little friends? No wonder I found you annoying from the very first post. I've got an eye for this kind of thing.

[Zanarkand]

Yeah I have. But even though you've debated with him before, that doesn't tell you the first thing about what kind of person he is.

I don't like people being nice to me when it's a false, "Christian" style of nice.

What I think you're actually saying here is that you just don't like christians. Of course, you're free to like or dislike whoever you want. Personally, I try to be nice to everyone. Including you, even though you obviously dislike my kind because of what we believe in. You should judge people by the content of their character, and not by what they believe in.
How would you feel if you were disliked you just because you were not a christian? That wouldn't be great fun. But I'll try to ignore your intolerance, and I'll still recommend you to be nice to people even if they're not being nice to you. At least then you don't deserve any critisism.:-)

[Nikolai]

Yeah, because if other people isn't as angry and hateful at heart as you are, they must be insincere or idiots. If you weren't so self-righteous and full of it Asher, you might had seen that people are different. Some actually doesn't go around spitting acid whereever they go. Some people just are nice. I'm not sure if I fit that completely, I have my issues as most people do. But I think it's safe to say I'm more balanced than you. And no, I'm not false. It might be hard for you to grasp, but people different than you isn't by default false and evil and what not. Just...different than you.

[Zanarkand]

I can't say the same about you. Even though I kinda want to.

True Christians don't like me, even if they pretend to do. It's how you people are. Learn some true honesty.
