I also feel that I voice my opinion, but if someone has already stated what I believe, then I agree with them and will add more as to why.

Also if I agreed with an insult, it was only to end it. Sometimes the only way to end pointless insults is to laughingly agree so that the person making the insults can't say anything more.

One thing I don't understand is how I'm overdoing it, I made most of the guides a while ago and I just post guides whenever I find something good and think it will help someone out.


Thanks for posting why, it's better to know what everyone thinks.


@Griev- Can't say I was expecting a yes from you xD

@Kyo- Very funny

Yes, you clearly don't care about your post count, yet you think you need to point out that 700 posts is a great improvement. If you really want me to, I can go through your posts and depict them to show you what I mean by you're only posting for the post count itself. You have posts that say nothing more than, "lol I agree," and "I wonder who will be the winner," when clearly everybody is wondering the same thing.

You always seem to take charge for no reason at all. I can prove this by pointing to the thread you created in the Donator's chat, or the constant gloating of running the Poet of the Week contest in the Writer's Haven. If you really want to help somebody, you wouldn't need to throw it everybody's face about it. It's like saying, "hey I helped this guy, I deserve to be recognized!" That's not the way it works. You help to be a good person, not to be noticed for it.

You are also clearly unorganized, and I can prove this by simply showing you your very own VIP application. You posted the same guide twice, was that so it would seem like you've done more, to make yourself stand out, or the lack of a basic skill to be organized in your posts, especially in the ones that matter?

I also fail to see how asking for rep after every guide you make proves that you deserve VIP. Instead, what I see is constant attempts to simply gather more and more rep, and to further that, you throw the never ending links in your signature, for a greater number of people to potentially rep you.

That is really taking it a bit to far. First of all the whole, "Chat Thread in Donar" was my idea. I was the one who PM'ed Tyler about it and asked him, so don't get onto her about that. It was an attempt to make the Donar thread more active. Also, I know that I personally put my guides into my signature so that I won't lose them because I want to be sure that if I ever need to refer to them, they are right there so that I don't have to take the time to search. My guides really get minimal reviews from being in my signature. In fact most of the replies I get for my Guides occur in the few days after I post them, and that's it. So that right there sir is a fallacy. And even in your VIP application you wanted the members to search for your guides if they wanted to review them.

And as far as Rep is concerned, the rules state you can ask for rep in certain cases. I would rather see her asking for Rep on a guide that she made an honest attempt on, rather than some shit like "I rep you, you rep me."

And I have never seen her gloat about being POTW leader. Care to point that out to me?

And Fire I still have no problem with you but, I think a lot of the things you said were in essence, wrong.

[LordGrievous]

Fire, do what I do.
Don't even offer an explanation.
I got tired of people bitching about me giving them no's.

[sidespin]

I can see some of your points and I can counter many of them, but I'd rather not argue further here.

By the way I didn't realize that I posted a guide twice, thanks for pointing that out. That is a small mistake easily fixed.


@Griev- I wasn't bitching, I was just pointing out why I didn't agree with some of his points.


@Cyrus- You pointed out much of what I was thinking, especially the fact that I don't gloat about leading POTW, I just thought it would be something that I should put in the application.

Cyrus is there an actual reason for you to be posting? You don't have any say in this, and technically, you shouldn't be allowed to be posting here. If you want proof of what I said, feel free to go through her posts yourself because I know what I'm talking about. If it was your idea to create that thread, then perhaps you should have done so, rather then telling her to do it. I never said that asking for rep is against the rules, I simply said that I don't believe that's what a VIP should be doing. As I said, I'd rather her not mention the word at all, then to say it everywhere she "makes an attempt."

Ah, sidespin, you seem to take me for an idiot. How many times have you gone to edit your first post? I'm sure it was more than just once. If you are not willing to defend yourself, then you clearly should not be a VIP because that's just another way of you failing to provide an decent reason as to you should be accepted in the first place. With that attitude, you might as well edit your post once again and have it say, "I would rather not tell you why I should be accepted."

Lordgrievous that's exactly what I may do next time.

Every time I try to defend myself, people say I'm bitching.

If I don't say anything, people say I can't defend myself.

If you'd like I'll happily pm you to defend myself.



And if I remember correctly, your VIP application didn't really explain why you should be accepted.

Learn to pick your battles, if you can't figure out a simple concept as that, I can't see myself agreeing with those that have approved you. As far as my application goes, I am not the same person you are. Just because I do something doesn't mean you should follow that example. Also keep in mind that the majority of my posts actually contain more than "I agree," which is probably why I got accepted you got rejected. Correct me if I'm wrong, but there's a difference between not saying anything, and saying "I don't have anything decent to say."
