i don't pay attention to people's names
usually i just get a slight visual memory of what's on the left side until they change their avatar
sometimes i see a name i recognize and think "well, i know we exchanged posts in a long debate for 2 weeks... but i have no idea if he/she was on my side or against me"
so don't worry, i'm sure that other posters have been pissed for the same reason
(or the opposite : because i supported one of their ideas at one point and rejected another one later)
... which is good, as you should defend ideas, not names
if you wanted to defend my posts before in the lounge, it's cool that you did
if you want to oppose them today, it's cool that you do rather than think "ah, i've put this guy in the "buddies" category, i'll let someone else criticize him instead"
I was in the Army for four years. What that has to do with a gd trivia thread is beyond me.
hum... that was a joke
as in 100% not serious
pretending to be upset that you didn't follow the rules of the thread to the letter
and so that your mind has probably not been molded by the army to obey orders without thinking
yeah, i know that i don't use smilies. when everyone else would
but come one... the mention of north korea was yellower than pacman itself
