And, going back to real life, harassing and being jerk can get you into a ton of trouble, maybe even result in serious legal action taken against someone if it is bad enough. Keep that in mind also.


Harassment, yes
Being a 'jerk' - no

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

Some might find someone acting like a jerk to them threatening or abusive. Either way it is immature and should not be tolerated in any form. there is NO EXCUSE for it.

Hey I am a big Bungie fan ever since I played Halo 2. I love the series, I love Bungie. I have made a few Bungie logos in my metal shop.

Hmm kinda

That's debatable, and it would be too off topic to continue on that subject.

My point is there is no reason for anyone to act rude to others on the mains. If people choose to do so they should be punsihed, nothing is forcing them to act like jerks.

Everyone gets cynical as they age in relation to everything. Can't really be helped. People just sort of lose their wide eyed mysticism relationship with the world that they hold when their young.

Some people even buy moderators drinks, ingest snake alcohol, and get their hands duct taped.
This is the best post in this thread.

10/10 would quote again.

Get off my lawn.

Damn kids and their prized title bars and prefixes. And their memes. And their parody threads. And their fan-ego. And their narcissism. And their nerdgasms at quoting those with status. And their defensiveness at criticism. And their precious firsts. And their drama threads. And their exclusive clubs. And their Schadenfreude. And their misunderstandings of what ex-employees actually did. And their misunderstanding of who actually comprises 343i. And their need to fix everything. And their console/game/forum wars. And their sick jokes. And their bad jokes. And their lumpy pudding. And their martyrdom. And their PPD. And their K/D ratio. And their obnoxious Coups. And their treating of their opinions as fact.

...I think it's not so much age, but experience, that determines how jaded you can become. I think it's a sign of maturity to be able to look at things objectively and not get caught up in it, but on the other hand, it can appear attractive to get lost in the heat of the moment. I can vouch for that.

Anyway. Lawn. Off. Get.

Hello! I'm Bunie.net's resident medical student (hell i'm sure there are more but I'm the only one who openly declares it!) I love my emblem, and I am periodically active.
I have a Twitter

Ok here's my two cents.
Some of you may recognise me, whatever, i hope you do - I used to post a lot. My activity has dropped out a little. I saw that something was stirring on twitter and I have come back to have a look. I'm shocked.
I recognise a lot of people on here, and what has happened is disgusting, I just don't get it, there was never any specified hatred when my activity reduced. We were a friendly community, anxious about Bungie's silence, prepared to last the long haul in hope for the release of the new IP. I remember one of the last threads I was very active on was one where we swore that we were the core, the people that stay in between IPs because of our dedication to this company.
I came back today and i don't see that at all, we're shattered and splintered. This isn't a cool thing to come back to!
I think we're all frustrated, we're waiting for news and whilst that is all happening we're infighting to entertain ourselves. Can't we go back to how we were before, excited and nervous in the face of the biggest blackout ever from Bungie?

Or, people like arguing with him. No one's forcing anyone to respond to his posts. You do that for a reason. Maybe you should ask yourself what that reason is.

  • 09.09.2012 1:36 PM PDT

Only the unloved and unnatural hate.

I have a skype! Feel free to add me if you took the time to look in here xD cody.dwight.morgan

My dragon sense called me to this thread.

But yes, I would agree the longer you're here the more cynical you get, I though do try to keep my emotions out of my posts when trying to help people.

Ken, for once you've done nothing wrong.

Everyone else; Stop making this thread about a specific user. What happened to this community? In the past we'd talk about frog blasting vent cores and other random stuff. Now for some reason everyone quotes ken as if he has gold text.

Shut up and move on.

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

Spending half a decade plus, doing the same thing will make anyone a cynic to some degree. Its like the COD games being the same over and over again. Stops being fun after a while.

Make one post in relation to Ken and suddenly I'm fawning over him?

Fawning over you too right now as well am I?
