i was being honest too, and do have a similar dry blunt sense of humour as yourself...all im saying is, don't mouth off at people too much mate, people take verbal abuse harder than others you know, thats all...
Moose = idiot
Fair enough, and I'd hate to think I'd verbally abused anyone tbh.
Certainly i take the piss a bit at times, though it's never meant in a malicious way.
The only person i can think of that i may have mouthed off at(if it could be considered that) on these forums recently is dougie-lampkin, and quite frankly he was the one with a shirty attitude, i just responded in kind.
On servers I'm pretty damn tolerant if you ask me. I may occasionally chuck the 'idiot' word about, and never undeservedly so, but generally i don't think you will find anyone complaining about me. I seem to get on well with nearly all my fellow racers.
I know you said you cant be bothered, but I'd genuinely like to see some links to posts where you feel I've 'verbally abused' people. maybe you could PM me some.
I'm certainly big enough to apologise to people if I've been genuinely nasty. I'm not that sort of person at all.
We all post things on occasions when were a little bit stressed that may come out/be interpreted in the wrong way, but i don't think I've ever been deliberately abusive towards anyone here.
That doesn't mean im suddenly going to pander to the over sensitive PC brigade though
I feel that Moose is one of the nicest guys around, i've never seen him verbally abuse anyone in the servers i've been on with him and the forum. Also, it was more funny than abusive with the dougie-lamkin IMO.
I have no idea where on earth you're coming from, CSU. I've seen absolutely nothing of what you're describing. Apart from dougie's attack, which sparked what I thought was a mild response from The Moose, I've not seen what you're claiming at ALL.
And WTF do you get off on even posting about it, CSU?
Your opinion isn't worth the keyboard it's written on. In fact it's your attitude that stinks and it is you who have been abusive. In my experience, Moose and been more than courteous and should be an example to you in how to behave both online and on forum.
Actually CSU, I think you are a bit of a stalker as why else would you post here? Judging from your licence details you obviously have no interest in CTRA and the only motive I can think of is that you are some sort of attention seeking, closet fan-boy. I could go on, but like you, I can't be bothered. Now, push off, theres a good chap. Your 10 minutes of fame are up
Thanks for your kind words guys. I didn't think i suddenly turned into some kind of monster overnight, and you've managed to reassure me that's not the case.
CSU obviously has a problem with me and he's entitled to his opinion. As he hasn't been able to respond to my request I'm happy that I haven't caused offence to half the LFS community
OMG, if there is one guy who doesnt abuse anyone its moose. I did some beta testing with him but never a faul word. Even i never seen him abuse people in CTRA servers. Yeah he is blunt but thats moose.
Get used to it, he isnt the guy for long chats in game. But that has got nothing to do with being abusive. If you make the statement like you did you better back it up with some examples.
Now your just shouting and take the piss at moose.
...as Moose said I'm entitled to my opinion. I have never been abusive to anyone here. Honestley, I didnt realise I was in the CTRA section, does it matter..., posting my opinion on someones attitude = attention seeking closet fan-boy? what the hell are you talking about?
I just realised I may have broken this rule last night I said "feckin" but I wont again, I mean, I have enough self control to not to... but I didnt even realise that I had done it, and reading that made me think. I do actually say "feckin" out loud sometimes like if I bump my little toe on the door ill say out loud, feckiinnnnn door ow!!. But I wont now.
This is the problem with swearfiltering.. it introduces this notion of things either being allowed or not allowed. The filter is supposed to try to kick the people who are being abusive towards other people, and that's all it's supposed to be.
Forget the swearfilter. Look at the whole thing this way instead..
If what you're saying is angry and abusive towards another user, and is likely to bring down the mood of the server as a whole, then you shouldn't say it.
If what you're saying might be inappropriate for younger eyes, then we'd rather you didn't say it.
If what you're saying isn't abusive, isn't going to bring down the mood of the server and isn't inappropriate for younger players to see, then it's difficult to imagine anyone having an issue with it
Wierd, thats the only word I have for this "online persona" thing, trouble is, IRL it's easy to know what people think of you, tone of voice, body language etc etc, it's not that simple with forums etc.
It's actually pretty difficult to gauge just what the "community" at large think of you, not that I give a flying fig what anyone thinks
But I generally don't have much of a problem with anyone,and have never seen anything other than decency from Mr Moose
IRL I get cheesed off pretty quickly with people if I don't like their attitudes, tbh I'd probably have a lot more friends if I didn't. Fact is I just wont go near or engage in conversation with a person whom I see to ignorant/big ego ect. The problem here is, as you all know I spend quite a lot of time here and I can't point to any post in particular to back up what I said above as it was a statement based on tit-for tat comments here and there. Moose, obviously I'm the one who looks like the tit here and I know you don't agree(neiter does anyone), as I said, I just get pissed off too easily with nitty little comments. Looking at my comment again it does make you look a lot worse than is true, so, at this point I have to appoligise and I take bake what I said above as it's not entirley true.
