Jita Park Speakers Corner

The "type the persons name to not get your ship stolen" idea is ********; it would just be abused by people typing on non standard, non English keyboards. Cant type a o that looks like and but really is some messed up character you cant see because the person want you to type the name of standard named alt instead so he can steal your ship no matter how aware or able to type you are? Too bad you just lost your billion isk ship thanks to the power of a non-latin charset.

No thanks.

I respectfully request that you point out one example where I have done any of those things (fallacious statement, misrepresenting what somebody has said, contradict myself, assert your lack of valid points, or more insults than points). Hopefully you won't take my respectful request as a demand, like you did the last one, and in doing so provide another example of misrepresenting what I have said. I truly, genuinely, would like to see how you came to that conclusion (as I did with my last request of the same nature). Having been a Lecturer in Higher Education I feel compelled to address misconceptions and fallacies.

I also see no reason whatsoever to address a post directed at somebody else, especially when that post is another example of misrepresenting what somebody has said (as trolls do). That example being the assertion that when Tasiv said "troll", he/she meant "saying things that you don't agree with". Sure, you put a question mark at the end, but you phrased it as an assertion.

My interpretation of what he/she said was quite different. I do not consider Tasiv incapable of making his/her own response, nor do I believe myself to be so brilliant as to be able to read their mind to determine what he/she meant. I don't know about you, but I tend to use the words that people say/write to determine what they mean, however flawed that may be.

So I will make another respectful request, this time of Tasiv Deka - what are your thoughts on these two varied interpretations of your use of the word "troll"?

(stuff)

So stop being part of the problem.

In my first response to you, I gave you the benefit of the doubt (about whether or not you were a troll) and addressed the flaws with your suggestion - far more than anybody else seemed to be doing at the time.

Your response was pretty vile actually, especially when I was the only one actually giving you the time of day. Sure, I supposed that you were either naive or a troll, but what I didn't call you (even though sorely tempted) was an idiot.

Also, you clearly have no idea who I am, much as I have no idea about your background, so I'll let you know that I am an award winning game designer (Best game in student showcase, NZGDC and TUANZ eVision Entertainment award) who has taught 3rd year Computer Game Design at the University of Otago. So when I talk about game mechanics I have some authority to do so and am not just parroting what I have heard from others.

Now, armed with this background knowledge, go back and read both of those posts and come back and tell me what your response would be to your post. Wouldn't you think this strongly added to the case that you were trolling (by my and Tasiv's definition)? While you're at it, try re-reading all of my posts, and in fact all of yours. If you would like to continue this discourse, stop trolling (whether deliberate or not).

I'm kind of leading an invaison of Branch right now and setting things on fire, apologies for the delays in posting itt.

Sometimes I think Chribba spends all day hitting refresh on search for "Chribba" in all posts, and responds whenever someone mentions him :)

Stuff.
