Well either somebody hacked my account and changed while I was out with my dog or you are lying since I have not changed anything in the title or my post. So please tell me what I've changed. And your English is probably way better then mine but since you could have "suggested" that in a more friendly tone I can only conclude that your intent was to insult me and therefor it was a bit uncalled for.Sikachu said:
Your "blacklist"? Hahahahahahahahahaha. Okay then, you enjoy your probation-free life. I'll let you get back to having fun with your figurines and hypocrisy.Jonluw said:
For any mods who might be thinking 'hmmm... he did apologise for "being a bit of a dick"', please bear in mind that a fundamental component of an apology is regret, and you can't regret an action before the fact unless you don't really regret it at all (where your hand isn't forced). I'm sure you'll notice the attempted manipulation. On the other hand, I'm not sure what you'd have to punish him for in that post, a bit of sarcasm maybe? Would be heavy-handed from my perspective, but then it's your forum!
I didn't suggest it there, I stated it plain and clear. I really didn't mean to cause offence, it's just that precise use of language is both an interest and a skill of mine, one that I cultivate on a regular basis. You didn't strike me as similarly interested and so I thought the conclusion reasonably justified. Had it been my intent to insult you, I wouldn't have compared you with myself. If you are merely worse than I am, and that is something to be insulted about, I must be pretty bad myself. That's why it isn't an insult, merely an observation.Tubez said:
Anyway, I'm bored of arguing with you. The solution to your backgrounds problem is to take bigger pictures and cut the edges off - it's the only way you're going to get much choice with such a huge amount of screen real-estate. Or you could generate some fractals, but that's for hobbyists imo. Best of luck.
Well, it's not a corporeal list as such. It's just that when I notice a user who acts consistently rude (e.g. You), I will make a little mental note not to take that person seriously any more. I call that a blacklist. Feel free to call your version whatever you like.Sikachu said:
No can do. The figurines are strictly for display purposes. There isn't much fun to be had with them.
And hypocrisy is not the kind to have fun with either. He's the kind that sticks around even though he has far outstayed his visit, and refuses to use a coaster.
Oh, by all means, I didn't mean to express regret over being rude towards you. What I wanted to say I was sorry for was my lack of discipline. I could not amass the willpower to keep from making snarky remarks, thus I made the forums a slightly less pleasant place to be.
I was hoping the moderators would perhaps look upon that with understanding.
Ah, that'll be my caustic British sense of humour. We call that 'taking the piss' (I don't know where you learned your English - it isn't a widespread idiom amongst non-Brits) and it's meant in a friendly but slightly critical way. I apologise for hurting your feelings, I shall endeavour to be less harsh in the future.Tubez said:
a symplistic Aperture Science logo on my Laptop and a re-make of the Neuromancer boxart for my desktop
....
Mine's a Skyrim one I nicked from deviantART a few weeks ago. I would post it, but currently my web connection is being really freaking slow to the point of annoyance.
As for how often I change it... That really depends on if I stumble upon a picture I like enough to put up as a wallpaper. Some can be up for months, while others are simply a matter of days.
