Since communication through PMs has proven to be fruitless as evidenced by your dodging of my question in our previous correspondance, I hereby post this in public in the hopes that you will once and for all explain why it is that you have a problem with me.

As you may recall, you once PMed me with a message:

You then proceeded, to completely undermine your complaint, as I found my PM inbox filled with exactly 18 copies of the exact same message.

To this message I sent my reply:



I then informed you that I would be forced to tell the good Doctor. I then proceeded to do so, and though I could percieve no action to have been taken on DC\'s part--which was probably the right course of action to take, after all what else would Dr. Cossack have been expected to do?

I returned from to my inbox later to find yet another message from you.



I was shocked, what had I ever done to you to deserve this? Nonetheless I delivered a reply to you.



I was shocked, appalled, and...hurt to say the least. After all, unknown to anyone I had made a vow to try my very hardest not to be a spammer! And yet here I was, being accused of that very crime! I was not merely being accused of being the lowest of low, I was being accused of failing at a goal which, as far as internet goals go, I prized above all else. To top it all, I was being accused of that by one I had once held as a friend.

Know this, Huff. I considered your words. I didn\'t discount them. It puzzled me. It bothered me. I had been questioning myself around this time as well, you certainly weren\'t helping. In my insecurity, I turned to other members of the board in search, not of comfort, but of hard reality.

http://www.interordi.com/mboard/viewthread.php?tid=8670

There. Read it.

Long have I changed since those days a year ago. Perhaps for the better, perhaps for the worse. I don\'t know. No longer do I have that fear hanging over me, that nagging doubt following me. I had at last, considered the issue dealt with.

I was wrong.

After a week\'s vacation, I log in to see the cheery message of a PM. My first thought is: \"Oh no! I hope someone didn\'t try to ask me something at the beginning of the week!\" After all, they would\'ve been waiting for a while. Instead I open it to find a PM from you, dear friend. Entitled: \"My Hero\". Were you trying to broker peace between us? Trying to replace the emnity between us with friendship?

My hopes, it seems were in vain. For I opened it, not to see a friendly message, but instead to a letter drowning in sarcasm and bitterness. As if my presence on the board compelled you beyond all control to lash out at me yet again.



Oddly enough, I don\'t recall hearing about your attacks when other people had the top posts, therefore I am either to assume that you\'ve started your bitter crusade just after I took that position, or that your beef with me is personal.

Therefore my simple question to you: why?

Why do you feel the need to bother me with such petty complaints? Do I need you to tell me the meaning of my existance? No. Do I care about your opinion of my existence? No. In fact, it is curiousity--and a sort of pity--that compels me to ask you these very questions.

Wow, he sounds like a real hard-ass.
I once left this board because I felt like I was too old.
But, I realized...The internet is an effing fun place to be.
A place for socializing with people you don\'t really know.
Serious discussions, pointless rambling.
Talking 1337 when it never gets old and learning new interesting facts everyday.
But then there\'s drama like this.
As much as we all love the internet, we can\'t let stuff like that get to us.
I mean, if you give up your social life to come to the board, something is wrong and you should probably leave. However, that\'s not the case.
If I got nailed for every time I spammed, I wouldn\'t enjoy the internet as much as I do.
We adore every one of our members from the ones who like PARADOXES and talk about RELIGION to the people like me who like to say fuck when I\'m not supposed to just because it give it the extra little OOMFH.
Don\'t let people like this get under your skin.
Live a little. It\'s fun! If you\'re not chosing the internet over healthier more social things. I don\'t see a problem with it, and anyone who does needs to PM me about it.

So Mega. I leave you with a secret...

EDIT: I apologize for the cursing.
dun b& mi plz

My question to you issss..

Why in hell do you care?

Huff is being a troll. I should know, I am one. If you feed the troll, they come back for more food whenever convenient for them. Stop feeding the troll and they will die of starvation.

You gave him what he (might have) wanted, though. A thread devoted to him and his trolling.

I guess I\'m not a good enough troll, I don\'t get threads devoted to me.. =(

Just ignore it X. Huff is just, as Hollow said, trolling. He/she\'s just trying to work you into a fit. The best way to kill a troll is to stop feeding it. Just ignore it. They obviously aren\'t mature if they have nothing better to do than bother someone on this board.

They should go.....pay taxes and such like a REAL adult. Yeah, I said it! I\'m calling you out Huff.

Ugh, This Huff loser obviously needs to get a life. God bless the Ignore list. What I dono\'t get is why don\'t you just petition his ban? If you don\'t want to ban him then just tell him to get out of his chair full of Nacho cheese go out and exercise his probably hog-sized body.

You don\'t have any proof to back up those claims. Don\'t exacerbate things.

...What\'s with you wanting to get everyone banned? If Doc thought that Huff needed to get banned, he would\'ve done so himself. There\'s no need to petition for someone\'s ban, it only works in extreme cases.

The question is: is Huff smart, and social, enough to show up on this thread?



Gosh, the NERVE!



And he is calling you a SPAMmer? Congratulations to Huff for winning the Irony Man Award 2005…



Wait wait wait, just hold it again, I gotta let this get into my mind… Mega X.exe, MEGA X.EXE, SPAMmed? When was that? I may have been here not very long, but anything, and I say ANYTHING, he posted was certainly not SPAM. For as far as I know.

Sure, I mean, becoming #1 poster obviously has meant a little bit of SPAM here and there, but that’s obviously a big-ass long time in the past.

And he said you are an inspiration to noobs? Heck, what you said may inspire me, but certainly not to SPAM. More like, listen to people’s opinions carefully - even more carefully than I already did – and think about what mine actually is before I post.




Huff, you got a brain. Use it. For all our sakes.



To plainly be an ass, wasting your time?




So what if Mega X posted 30 times a day? I’ve did it lots worse. Even just over 100. Yeah, that’s right. But do I look like I’m proud of it? No. Way.

So, he’s on your Ignore list now. Keep him there.

I made not have made such a vow. Yet. But I AM trying my very best not to SPAM. And whenever I go off-topic, I always try to put something on-topic as well.



I did. Gosh, did he send the exact same thing from ONE YEAR ago? Again, congratulations Huff. What action.



Huff certainly has feeling for drama, I give him that. Or that’s just how you put it, Mega X. In that case, you’re the drama king.



I hope for a good end to every story… and keep hoping…



Wait, Huff “grew up”? Well, he certainly “grew” with using drama and sarcasm.



Huff. Called. You. Immature.

o.o

And he said: “and my you never mature.”

Not only was that a MAJOR spelling error and a great piece of drama, it shows that Huff is the one actually being the immature one.



At least I have and give my reason when having an argument.



Yeah, Huff, why?



And it is curiosity that makes me feel the same way.

Huff, if you ever come here, tell us: WHAT IS IT WITH YOU?

Really, that sense for drama of you, the nerve of you…

Yeah, I guess it\'s never really a good idea to devote a topic to any type of undesiarable person, since generally the reason they are disagreable in the first place is for attention. Still, this is kind of wierd, don\'t you think? As far as I know, Mega X really doesn\'t flaunt his position, and furthermore, doesn\'t carry on chatroom conversations on the forums. I\'m just kind of confused as to why Huff would pick him. Then again, although I\'ve been around the block a while, I sure wasn\'t here when Mega X first joined, so I guess I don\'t know what Huff has to be angry about.

I don\'t remember any of Huff\'s posts seeming particularly aimless, although I do remember quite a bit of negativity, even towards specific members. I just have to wonder if he was after you just because you\'re getting posts fast; there\'s nothing wrong with posting a lot in one day. At any rate, Huff kind of vanished when I came, so I suppose I don\'t really know him well enough to comment extinsivly....

AGH! So much bad spelling in that!:eek:

[Edited on 28-11-2005 by AimMan v2.5]

Hmm... I never knew Huff did anything like that. I remember him being around when I first joined, and he seemed like a nice guy. Just goes to show you that you don\'t really know people as well as you think you do.

But MegaX, I can\'t recall a single time when you\'ve spammed. Just ignore immature things like this. Like the twenty PMs. Spamming a supposed spammer is still spamming (There\'s some alliteration and repetitiveness for you). Just take it in stride.

And Huff, if you read this, so what if someone posts thirty times in one day? It doesn\'t mean it\'s all spam. Maybe one or two, but certainly not all. If you think someone\'s a spammer, don\'t assume it just on their post count.

Perhaps I was not clear. This is far different from the thread I linked to. After all, in that thread I half-believed him. I don\'t believe him now, but I still wonder. In real life, my record for making enemies is fairly clean with but a single smudge. Oddly enough the hate is one-way, coming from my side, though I\'m working through it slowly.

As such, this leaves but a single enemy. One who happens to be online. And like my real life enemy, the hate is one-sided, but it doesn\'t come from me. If you are reading this Huff, know that I bear you no ill-will. Perhaps I did a year ago, but not now. Indeed, it is mere curiosity. For Huff is my only enemy, and I wish to know why I have made one.

Secondly, to address some people here.

@Hollow: I care because my personality is one that enjoys being on good terms with people. Add that to my innate curiousity and you measure that against what I have: I\'m on bad terms with Huff, and I don\'t know why.

Granted, I\'d probably be OK with being on Huff\'s bad side if I only knew why.

@Juno: Just a question, when did you first arrive on IO?

@Match: While I appreciate your calling him out, I can assure you that I am quite able to fight my own battles.

@Dranzer: Petitions solve nothing. Even if they did, my desire is not to ban him. After all, I believe in free speech. I just wish he would justify his comments.

@AirMaster: Kiryu comes to mind.

#Morphman: While I\'m glad I could inspire you the way you claim I have--and believe me, if I\'ve taught you that, then I\'ve learned it through experience. Hollow can attest to the number of times I\'ve gotten my foot stuck in my mouth, or how many times I\'ve pulled a stick outta my ass--but my first week or so was not exactly something I\'m proud of. Bumping the earliest topics, adding nothing, etc.

Now, I think there were a couple quotes you used to call Huff a drama king that were actually from me.

Not to say that Huff isn\'t dramatic. His PMs show far from that, in fact.

@AimMan v2.5: I wear \"Top poster\" as a bit of a badge of pride. After all, it\'s a distinguishing mark. All that aside, however, it\'s not much of a position to flaunt. At least not around mature members.

@BladeMan.EXE: I do not claim perfection, but I am glad to hear that my Post to Spam ratio is well within the acceptable range.

Well if that\'s all you wanted to know, why did you make this huge post? You could\'ve just put that in the PM and all.. If you wanted others insight though, I understand.



I can understand that, but also..if he is just a troll, he will most likely never tell you why..because there just might not be any reason! He could just be trying to get under your skin, which you have to admit, he IS doing. Personally when I\'m trolling someone, I\'m either

• trying to get them to admit something
  
• attempting to decipher if they are a lamer
  
• annoying them because they\'re \"holier than thou\" types
  

Mayhaps he thinks that you\'re bragging about your post count, or at least being too proud of it?


...yeah, he very well could be angry about that.



Thought I\'d bold that for the less..intelligent members.

Well PMs didn\'t solve anything, he simply ignored it. Somehow, he evaded my ignore too. So that\'s another bit of annoyance.

I\'ll admit he\'s gotten under my skin a bit though, I think that\'s fairly obvious.

As for the badge of pride bit, it\'s really more of a personal thing. I try, at least, not to brag about it, and it\'s really just something I can look at and feel set apart from say Aim. Feel like I\'m not just some random guy who signed up on IO one day.

EDIT: Well, there is the award thing in my sig. But that\'s really the only thing I\'m aware of.

[Edited on 11/29/2005 by Mega X.exe]

Well, it\'s the board. The Ignore and Friend thing doesn\'t even work.



You\'re really explaining it all here. You, intentionally or not, are making something so pointless as a post count mean something to you (and by putting the award and such in your sig, others too). Which in turn is making Huff reply in this way. He thinks that you\'re someone who -cares- about post count, something meaningless to him. Something only lamers and n00bs give a damn about. So to him, you\'re being a spammer.

No, you aren\'t \"some random guy\". Neither am I. But I don\'t need a big post count to tell me that. You shouldn\'t, either.

I\'m not trying to offend you at all, it\'s just really sad to take something like a post count and make a big deal of it. Your posts should be what we judge you by. If Doc removed post counts, would you feel lost in a sea of \"random\" people? If you would, well, Huff isn\'t the problem here.

That was one of the extreme cases. I guess that I don\'t have to remind you that he pretty much flipped off members on a regular basis. Huff is propably spamming your PM Inbox...but it seems like a isolated case, and like Hollow said, if you don\'t answer him, he\'ll just stop.

...again, it\'s the posts that count, though. Not the amount of them. You can be glad that you don\'t spam. You can be glad that you use the shift key, and general good grammar. You can encourage others to do so.

But what is the point of paying attention to post -number- over post -content-? That\'s exactly what he is doing. As I said, it\'s sad if he thinks the only thing that defines him are those numbers under his username.

I\'ve got alot of posts, but I know what defines me is my unique qualities..like how I can treat you like garbage but am always willing to help. I don\'t think \"oh, well I have more posts than Necro, so at least people won\'t just think of me as \'some random guy\'!\"

People still confuse me for Necro, and Necro for Hollow, no matter how many posts we both have. :rofl:

Eh, you know what? You\'re right. To hell with post counts.

Oh, and to hell with Huff for that matter.

And by \"friend\", I meant that Huff and I used to be on good terms, or at the very least, better terms than I\'m usually on with Hollow.

And yes, my pride is a fragile thing. Long story short, I\'ve never recovered from the proverbial \'fall\'. Progress everday, though.

You are strong, you are beautiful, you are woman!

...errr, I mean, good show. ;D

But yeah, Huff was and is an idiot regardless of your actions. He could\'ve approached you in a more mature manner but he did not.

It\'s alright about the fragile pride. At least with you, it doesn\'t seem to show as often as it used to. You don\'t seem to wear it on your shoulder anymore. Wait, shoulder? I dunno if I\'m wording things right.

Wait, you registered on 19 January 2005, it says in your profile.



Okay, so you have a nice feeling for drama and writing as well.

But Huff is the \'evil\' actor here, aint he?

God, it\'s Shakespeare all over again!

I\'ll confirm Juno\'s registration date I was here during that time and I remember it. At this point the best thing to do is ignore Huff and don\'t let him get on your nerves.
