Why is it that everytime I come on this forum someone writes a long post, you know at least a couple paragraphs. And they get flamed for expressing themselves through words. What has happened to this country that reading has become a thing of the past? why just post "wall of text" instead of taking the 2 min. to actually read the post and understand it? It is stupid that people will bother to post on a topic they didn't read all it does is lead to off topic posts and makes them look stupid. For god sakes people learn to read and respond with clarity or I fear for the longevity of this country. Thank you for listening to my two cents. Please post if you have anything to actually say.

Have a nice day. _BLISS_

What guide? You mean that big wall of text you typed up? No one's going to read that. What were you thinking?

This isn't Wikipedia. Sheesh.

Noted. I resemble that.

You've obviously never waded your way through a Foman special. I've had to take vacation time before in order to read his threads.

Have you heard of Foman123??

He can make a post that would take days to read, but he doesn't get flamed for it. But that's because he is "known" around here (Which I think is stupid since there are others who makes great points but don't get any recognition for it (No offense whatsoever Foman)).

Old school Bungie, born and raised,
In the Septagon is where I spend most of my days.
Relaxin', maxin', posting all cool,
Talking about Halo, life and some school.
Got in one little argument, and the mods got scared,
they said "You're gonna get banned and your member title'll be bare!"

Bah, Foman could use the ego burst.

He doesn't get flamed because people are speechless. They clutch their keyboards in terror, softly stroking the space bar, salty tears running down their cheeks, shouting "Why?" to the heavens. I'd like to have a moment of silence.

Foman's Keyboard. May you rest in peace.

Thats exactly my point when people do respond it usually has nothing to do with the origional posts and it makes them look stupid. Mostly it just surprises me that no one seems to read anymore maybe im just an old fogey. Thanks to those who are actually posting intelligently

Don't you mean keyboards?

I approach walls o' text differently. When Foman posts a wall 'o text, I'm scared, but I go through with it anyway (much like a child going to the dentist), but when I see a wall o' text that's obviously littered with misspellings and bad grammar, I leave it alone.

No, the Department of Sanitation in DC isn't allowing him to throw away any more keyboards in the dumpsters. I hear he's been trying to stick with one keyboard as long as he can.
