I've compiled a list of things in the forums that irritate the bejezus out of me.

1) [color=red]Using numbers for letters[/color] - Aren't you clever you devised a way to make a 7 look like the letter T. How very imaginitive of you! Could I propose using the number 6 as a b? Fantastic you say? You're an idiot, and I can't read anything you type.

2) [color=red]Misspellings of simple words[/color] - I know this isn't gradeschool...but you graduated from it didn't you? Oh, no you haven't 'cause you're 13. A typo here and there is fine, but for crying out loud, what is a "jackle" ?!

3) [color=red]Worthless subject headings[/color] - This is best explained via a list of examples:
- "Just telling you ppl out there" Just so you know, the word "people" only has 3 more letters than your stupid abbrev. (Yes, I did do that for irony's sake)
- "hALO 2 WEPONS" Also notice the inability to work the caps lock key and the word "weapons".
- "!!!! Something I noticed" The four exclamation points at the beginning is a nice touch.
- "HALO 3 IDEAS!!!! MABE BUNGIE WILL SEE IT!!!!!!!!!" If they do, they probably laugh at them and your pathetic obsession with punctuation.

4) [color=red]Flaming and empty threats[/color] - Yeah, you're a big and bad 95 lb. 14 year old, and I am convinced you can "pwn" me because you curse profusely.

5) [color=red]Worthless requests/demands and theories.[/color] - No, you cannot have everything you want because everything you want makes no sense to anyone except you. And yeah, there's an unresolved crisis at the end of 2. Unfortunately all of your plot ideas suck. You aren't the next Orson Scott Card.

6) [color=red]Claiming to know things that no one knows[/color] - This is actually related to two separate topics. A) You aren't the forum police nor the monitor of this installation. You aren't the webmaster (he is a big hairy hat wearing gorilla). You aren't an authority on anything, and if you were I'd protest. B) Before 2 was released there were people forming cults around single frames of fuzzy bootlegged video footage. Get a grip people. If you don't know, don't claim to. Save us your conviction. Chances are no matter how convinced you are, you're wrong. Everything you say is either your uninformed, uneducated opinion, speculation, or a damn lie.

7) [color=red]Hypocrisy and/or lack of a sense of humor[/color] - Apparently it's ok for Bungie employees (e.g. the webmaster) to write satire belittling ignorant people in an attempt to amuse a few readers but not ok for anyone else. Fine.

What about thoughts, ideas and theories in search of the tru7h?

Ironically, you've disobeyed a very important part of etiquette yourself: You've posted this in the wrong forum.

Not to mention you showed disrespect to another member's question. We do allow open speculation of the tru7h and Bungie games. Since Halo 3 doesn't fall into anyone specific forum, we just allow most miscellaneous theories to take place in the Underground.

No disrespect shown. Question asked; question answered. Belligerence, yes.

The question wasn't really answered properly, Ender. You're coming off a little pompous; as if you're trying to state your opinion as fac7. This is what these forums are for, life, liberty, and the pursuit of the tru7h.

I wonder how many 7's I can fit in a single post.

The question might not have been answered properly but it was certainly answered to my satisfaction. Clearly you don't like/understand satire. I'm guessing you probably enjoy knock-knock jokes a little too much, huh?

Now, it is my contention that generally the ideas and opinions of the average forum speculator suck. You can agree or disagree. I don't care which.

Wow Ender... Just wow... You yourself are being a hypocrite here, which is another rule broken. You flamed an intelligent post mindlessly, and posted in the wrong forum (This goes in the flood or the septagon), and by doing that you break a third of your "rules".
Bravo, I say. Bravo.

That's a very selfish statement. Your satisfaction isn't the only thing at stake here.

So I get it... All that matters now is your satifaction, not the enjoyability of the community as a whole? Just stop now, before you dig yourself deeper into this hole.

To save the expense of certain people and everyone else for that matter, I deem this locked.

With your permission...carring on. People get pretty worked up about nothing don't they? Seems like people are a little too sensitive and maybe a little too conceited. It's not about you! It's a joke!
