If a lion tamer makes a mistake and gets bitten, a huge part of the crowd will rush and see the massacre screaming in horror, thus pushing the beast to unleash his bestial nature to the last. Fortunately I'm not a lion and wouldn't reply as some may have expected. Think about it... 

This is the paradox of human nature: you can bring it down, or you can bring it up.

... Having unfortunately taken the former path myself these last days with Warbler, I felt deeply wrong and reckoned I needed to take a look at myself face to face. I've done it for myself first - because what I'd do here could repeat in real life - , and it wasn't meant for sharing my feelings here in the first place. But if it can make Warbler as well as a few other feel better and get rid of that I finally took my time to redact a definitive message that will be the last (OP).

Goodbye gentlemen.

Tomorrow it's Springtime. May this manifestation of a renewed life inspires Warbler's mind and sensitivity. I mean it.

Edit & PS: Please go on posting as you wish Warb. My sincere apologies for having used your case for that experimental thread. You won't remember me in a month.

Don't be such a butt.

I agree. ABC, stop being a butt. Clearly you are pissing people off, just take it easy.

However, someone of you (not Boost) are being more than butts in your way of handling him. We can all go on and on about whether ABC is annoying or picking on Warbler, but he hasn't called anyone an asshole or a prick. He's also not calling for anyone to be banned. He certainly doesn't seem to target anyone in anger like some of you are doing to him.

ABC is giving Warbler a hard time and maybe even being mean, but but crucifying a guy for having a laugh at someone else's expense is more cruel in my opinion.

I'm really trying to be on your side Warbler, but when the victim becomes the aggressor it's a little hard. Please forget I brought up ignoring ABC and go back to ignoring him (I mean, I'm sure he's on ignore already, you should just stop reading his posts).

Let's all calm down.

100% agree, even on the butt point. :)

Don't worry I'm not that stubborn. May we all take our lessons from this and think about the Internet we really want.

Nice to meet you btw !

Peace.

... Who feeds this ? Not me.

Let's give it it's reason to be with an OP. ;)

DVD BONUS

Also, I have no idea what ABC is talking about. Especially "What I meant was nothing to be narrowed to our little persons." Wut?

My post states the difference between a human who has a chance to evolute, and handicapped or very poor persons who have few chances if not at all to face their life without another person endorsing responsabilities at their place.

For your quote I should have said "to our personal problems". It was related to CP's line:

He means that you, ABC, and myself can defend ourselves and understand when we are being picked on.

... wich shows a very narrow field of concern imho, and God bless the simple minds for ignoring such proccupations. Very good choice for the End Credits then Greenpenguino ! ;)

Those DVD bonuses were offer by TATOOINA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE and NABOOBIAN WIGS

(Gosh ! I can't read that and leave it distorted like this...)

What I meant was nothing to be narrowed to our little persons.

What I meant was that there are a LOT of people either unlucky or poor all over the world, a lot of people who are suffering and who don't have the luxury to complain on an Internet forum... They don't have the luxury to complain at all. They don't have luxury of thinking normally, to think about their lives, to wonder what / how they would manage to get better with their lives for it effectively happens on the contrary of us, spending life and time in vain.

I was then speaking of true SENSE of RESPONSABILITY wich his the begining to a better life, and the CORE to our CONSCIOUSNESS, the goal of your Evolution. That's the only thing life worth to be dedicated on a long term.
I have posted enough in this forum for you to know that IT is my initial message to the new born bird since day one, when you're inclined not to interpret but rather to understand my words.

As for the post I directed to, I haven't misinterpreted. I haven't interpreted anything actually. I just thought of that boy reading his screen and thinking God knows what he can read. That's what upseted me.
If it can make you feel better, most of the posts were upseting in this thread from that point of view, from the first hijacking attempts to Bingo's mythological dictionnary. Yours was just very clumsy. If this boy makes such a thread here asking for something, best is to play his game the more simple way, or get out.

---

... But there's apparently a whole world between us CP3S, and even with the most well spoken English from me it would still remain that way.

Now read again my very first sentence in this thread please, and you get exactly what you're doing now using what I said at your advantage... consciently or not !  I'm not judging you for that, but I'm thinking it's the kind of attitude that could get you a crown and a golden stick to fit your halo ! ;-P

One more thing CP3S, and I won't speak for me anymore here but really, when I read your rant at Bingo, what do you think it looks like from our screens ?... Maybe if you stop trying interpreting things as Warbler use to do as well you'll live better with it...! How many times did I see you pop and aggress him (yes you can do it too) cause you or Warb thought you were concerned by the humour ?!! (maybe making this mayonnaise up via pm )...

^ And I hate remembering things like this really... Sticking to the past and keeping feelings toward unknow folks on the Internet ! Wow !... Who is idiot enough to live this through his "TV" ?! Definitely not my culture. Is it yours ?

So let's move on, and also stop hacking my posts with your quotes burrying the essential behind please CP3. ;) This time I won't read it anyway, or maybe next year - not that I don't care but I think the first half of that post is the essential and it doesn't need further comments - And I don't care to be wrong or right, I just wanted to be clear at last... Let's hope it).

...

One last word,

Any fault involves that you have some reponsability in a situation. For the few I did I think I apologised enough (if you can read or listen). But that's not because you are able to point at someone else's fault that you don't make ones too... And that's not neither because nobody mention any to you that you don't make any.

I haven't been here to "give lessons" er professor. Too bad if sharing some personal views with my two cents philosophycal touch whatever I make it through jokes or rants (and whatever the subject !) has been taken as such by someone who can't stand a false illusion of "awesomeness" I've been sticked with despite my will. But that's the effect it did on a couple of dudes unfortunately and one of them hasn't been greedy giving a lot of lessons back.

Sensitivity you say ?... Who knows me here ?... I gave a few strings through a virtual "character" on a virtual forum and you think that sums up the whole being behind the keyboard ?... Seriously ?

Would it be sob stuff to point at the thing that upseted me the MOST lately, something I didn't take care to mention ?...

Here: http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/Can-you-list-name-the-greatest-examples-in-the-world-of-epic-heroic-myths-past-and-present/post/566695/#TopicPost566695

This boy won't have any chance to face his reponsabilities in life, on the contrary of some who keep complaining years after years publicly. He has had an accident being younger, and isn't armed like someone like you, Warbler or I. That I hardly find "amusing", whatever you meant precisely.

Then, you can't decide what is the good attitude for the others, leaving in the same time your own attitude aside (wich no one cared to detail). We all make faults here and there. But fortunately the way you ask people to change their attitude can do something, if needed. You obviously can't command them with a loud-mouth as I have been used to meet again and so on through the same people on this board, including the "less aggressive guy of the forum" when I didn't even address him...

Anyway... You can't forgive if you can't forget.

So, just drop your anger and vulgarity once for all or accept some may make a fun of it. 

That's how a chair wearing a pair of glass won my respect in the past. We've both learnt something I'd guess.

Bye.

PS: I'd like add a word in favor of Bingowing who contacted me my PM when I posted Warb's picture as he thought that was a bad idea. He's not the reason I took it back. Though he doesn't post in that thread anymore, you don't have an idea of how this guy would prefer that people calm down to go along with each others rather than barking out loud, whoever they are. So far, I know he watches and he cares.

May the greatest lesson provider from that thread take a note of it.

CP3S said:

... and then you preaching at him for how very wrong he is and why he is such a loser in real life.

Wow ! Your words these are.

I consider Warbler superior as a human being to what he says he is. If you keep on defending him and comforting him in his whining attitude
instead of convincing him he has enough strengh and ressources to surpass this and be above it all, I don't call you helpful.

The few posts I've read from Dayv adressed to Warbler regarding this matter makes him much more a real friend to my eyes.

My bad: having formulated my thoughts about it again. So my last words will be: please accept my sincere apologies for having shared my opinion about it again. What is private should remain private, and the fact someone is spreading his private life on such forum shouldn't allow me to give my point on it, whatever good or bad may be my intentions in the begining. I also shouldn't reply to anger, even with my particular "sense of humor". This is definitely not the Internet I'm searching for.

In the end I send you my congratulations to both of you Warb and CP3, as you got what you asked for explicitly two weeks ago: a forum whithout ABC posting. You may have lost a few friends by way of contrast though. Sorry if it happened.

Take care you all.

image removed because of stuffs

Thanks (for him). Anyway admit it, that's not fair: he's the only one here having posted his picture in big. ;)

Me five, but I can hold my breath more than two minutes...

And I don't think it is the most ugly dog in the world. Only this one has been declared... You haven't seen my cat !

edit: ok bkev: read my last post. It seems I already shared my feelings about it in all sincerity.

walkingdork said:

If he wants to prevent more pictures being created from his avatar then I understand, but I think the pic you made was funny. It's not a offensive picture or anything.

 We agree. I laughed all the time I made it and laughed again reading your post. :-)

But that's not the problem anyway. The problem is only between Warbler and Warbler. Now I'm not a monster and I don't want to add to his distress. Because unfortunately that's what humour, as innofensive as it is, can do to someone who hasn't that sense at all. :/

XyZ said:

... C'mon Warb, strike Bingo & ABC down with all of your humour and your journey will be complete. :P

 

 

Warbeus says:

 Say 'please'.

 

I REMOVED THE PICTURE...

The guy has no sense of humour at all and I can only guess the effect it had on him seeing he has removed his avatar.

... He can call people he dislike some names like "ass", "dumb" or anything he wants but he wouldn't stand the least joke on his person in return...! So now I really wonder WHO behaves like a "Pontifex" over here.

Feel free to edit your posts and remove the picture too guys. ;)

Does anybody know what the font is (or a good approximation of it) for the 'Return of the Jedi' text in the original ROTJ logo?

(I now see that Times New Roman has been cited.  If anybody has a better suggestion, please share it.)

 

 Just stumbled across this by accident.

See... There's quite a difference to me. I don't have the technical vocabulary in English to comment further.

edit: seems there are a lot of boxes like puzzles or toys from wich you may find high res scans through Google.

I'll give it seven shurikens when I'll find it.

Any lurker borrowing that name MUST have a Robocop avatar.

RoboCop was one of the coolest things in 90s when growing up, I remember the NES game and all, good times.

90s? You're older than you think.

The film was released 1987, the arcade game 1988 and the Spectrum version in 1989.

Well, yeah, but we still played the games and it was a cool character in the early 90s. I was born in 1987 so I'm not THAT old. I also had a large RoboCop knock-off figure, otherwise I wasn't that into it and hadn't seen the movie but it reminds me of kindergarten times, LOL.

 So, you didn't witness the cultural shock this film's issue was... ;)

... And that BLOWING (<edit: I mean awesome) THX mix in theatres...!

I've never heard something that good these last 20 years. And we call that "progress" !
