SB2, you can't talk, post-whore. DT has been on WP a lot longer than you have, and she's only made 4 posts. Tattle-tale? Flamer? Could you get any simpler? Stop wasting our time with pitiful attacks on a respected member, just because you don't know them. Not everyone likes to spam the forums like you.

Danlo,
this is correct that you have an opinion, hooray.

please address the questions. And argue your position from that.

My questions were in reguards to;
why a name?
why on a public forum (i don't think visitors may chat, nor enjoy the members only forum)

and now thanks to you (i appreciate it) i have even more curiosity, than before.
only four posts you say.
i am aware of two. and both times they seem to lean towards trouble. Which further validates my position.

you wondered if i could get any simpler.
Could your argument?
i mean, the basis of yours is that seniority gives entitlement.
How is that position even a valid claim.
me get simple, huh?

The fact that DT has only posted 4 times doesn't validate your accusations. 4 posts over 9 months, 2 of which being to address problems, indicates that she either a) doesn't have many problems; b) she has problems, but doesn't often resort to addressing them on the public forum. The fact that it is a problem that concerns the entire of WP, ie the possibility for people to post malicious links for the purposes of causing trouble, justifies her bringing it to public attention. These links can be posted anywhere on the website. Putting it in the members forum would not have achieved the same awareness, nor would it have informed everyone who would be affected by the problem. We have 59 visitors online, who would not be aware of it, had she taken your advice and put it in the members forum.
Why a name, you ask? The answer is pretty damn simple: She had no knowledge that Nitraine had not intended something far worse, and that it was an attempt at a practical joke. It is easier for people to be aware of a single individual who may have had malicious intent, than to forgo following every link someone posts.
Additionally, nowhere did I claim that how long someone has been a member determines respectibility and entitlement. The length of time she has been a member was used as an argument to indicate that your accusations were nothing more than a personal attack, lacking any justification or reasonable grounds. The comment about her being a respected member, was made without any justification, because it needs none. Whereas your reputation for being a troublemaker, whilst I personally wouldn't need any validation for my view of you, is fast becoming credible.

SB2 & danlo

Would You two quit trying to incite each other. You both may have valid points to raise. What has been done has been done. Finger pointing will get You two no where in the end.

Kiss and make up or shake hands whatever You two need to do, would You two do it. :wink:

He wanted logical explainations, he got them. He was the one attacking a friend of mine. He can apologize to DT, but I ain't apologizing to him.

Break it up, all of you.

Tea, my advice is to NEVER open links given in the chatroom that you don't already know where they lead...

SB2, Danlo, break it up now.

this is not for kevv or black liger.


you know, I didn't even bother to read that?

I realized yesterday that I didn't actually want to discuss this, or any other topic with you.

So.... forget it. I didn't read it, I'm not going to.

Hey, BlackLiger, what's a firewall? (I'm from the dark ages; I've only had a computer for 5 months and I know practically nothing.)










I'm not afraid to display my ignorance, just my stupidity!

I didn't know it did anything bad to your computer.

I'm sorry I posted that in chat and won't do it again.


I'm happy this thread was started because now I know not to click on any of these sites posted by Nitraine. I have online classes because I have no transportation and it's simply too painful to attend classes in person full time, so I do alot of my work online. 1000 windows popping up would have f***ed up my work, so no I wouldn't have found it very funny either.

Firewall: a system design to prevent unauthorize access to Your computer. If You have some type of Protection Service Norton, McAfee, or some other; they have built in firewalls so Your computer does not get infected with trojans or viruses and things like that in the end.

I'm missing something here. Even if all it did was to open 1000 windows, why would you post it at all???

May I?

Perhaps this is an AS community, and we are not the greatest champions of social grace.
AS is a Neuro disorder, where oft times we make poor social decisions and then we wonder, "i don't get it, i didn't mean any harm, it happened to me, i thought it was funny, so i thought they would as well!! !"

Admit it.
each of us has done a million and one social blunders in our life, and more times than not, we expected the complete opposite reaction. Simply because we didn't intend to be hurtful.

Nitraine should not be villified by his own people for making a poor decission, which by the way, we are all guilty of, in one form or another.

that was my initial impression. and i am speaking from experience, in one form or another.
ed, i hope this explanation of 'what it may be', provides for a little understanding

SB2, Drinkingt is not a trouble maker at all, as a matter of fact, I've seen her as a peace keeper, and mediator. Does she stand her ground???? Yes she does. And I was going to post something re: the Anti American thread, but she beat me to it. I told her I was sick of being beat up on the chat for simply being american. Read my response to her thread on that, it gives details as to what prompted her to post in the first place. And since then as far as I know, the american bashing stopped on the chat.

It's amazing how quickly after a narcissistic injury is caused, the person shuts up shop and pretends not to have read the post that caused it, in an attempt to cause a narcissistic injury to the cause of their hurt. Don't worry SB2, I'll refrain from proving you wrong in future.
