Okay... I know this is gonna seem bad-spirited, as I lost the vote. And I know, that some people will probably have already considered it when they cast their vote... and this will probably be ignored and its too late to change anything whatsoever.

But I just want to bring up two, judging decisions that gave Azi a HUGE advantage. Honestly, I could have brought up a stink about it - like I had done so before if you read back in this thread - but decided not too. After the judges ruling however. I am gonna have my say about it... and hell. This isn't everything I could say either, but I don't want to come across as super bad-spirited.

Ruling number 1. The stun.

You've all read it. You know what I’m talking about. I got my character to use a specialized version of lightning magic, to stun Snowfall... well, stun/paralyze. In the interest of fairness, Medicshy ruled that instead of being a total stun, it reduces Snowfall agility by 1, and limited her to one action per turn. Which is still pretty powerful.

But there is three objections I have to this.

1. Razorbeam himself has stated that in the end, its going to be the writer’s creativity that decides who wins and who loses. If think of a way for my character to successfully be able to stun his opponents, why should it be ruled against me in interest of fairness? After all, its unfair that I’m not allowed to use my character’s abilities to the fullest.

Plus, through this might make things one sided. Please note that my character also has the ability to manipulate air. Did you ever once see me RP my character sucking the air out of my opponent’s lungs? No. So I wasn’t using my character at his greatest of abilities anyway.

Not to mention I had already made efforts to balance the spell myself by making it only useable in meele range.

2. This hadn’t been the first time I had used the stun spell. In fact, I first thought of it in my previous battle, and used it to achieve victory. Now some can arguing that I’m hardly being creative in using the very same tactic, which is correct I admit. But it was far the only trick in my character’s arsenal, as I’m sure you all read.

My problem here however, is that in the previous fight. It was a complete and total stun. As I had used the same spell here, shouldn’t it have the same rulings?

3. Willpower has specifically been stated to be the magical defence one has. Meaning that a character with a ‘B’ in Willpower has your average magical defence, a character with ‘S’ can shrug of magical effects with ease, and that a character with ‘D’ has little to no resistance to magical effects.

With that in mind. Why is it that a pony with a D in willpower, is still able to move after being hit with a stunning spell?

So there we have it. The three primary reasons, why I think Medicshy’s ruling was wrong. Of course, that was in the past, and I’m not a judge. So it hardly matters and I’m sure plenty of the judges are just going to ignore it.

Ruling number 2. The lighting bolt.

On page 2 of the thread, my character tried to achieve a ‘deathblow’ by hitting Snowfall with a low-powered lightning bolt in the eye. Representing that a properly powered lightning bolt directly to the eye would most likely kill her, with the electricity having easy access to her brain. However, Snowfall sensed the static electricity build up and managed to dodge it... at least. Partially.

I went along with it at the time. But to be frank. The entire thing is BS. Like before, I’m going to split this into parts.

1. Her method of dodging the lightning bolt. To put in bluntly, its too slow. Sure, the physics are different on a horse then a human and different because of the situation, but try this out. Stand up in a place with some room (hopefully with something soft in front of you), go onto your tip-toes and lean forwards so your just off balance.

Notice how there is a little ‘lag’ between the off balance part and gravity kicking into high-gear to make you fall?

The same situation applies to Snowfall, it would specifically said that she was attempting to drop to the ground, by allowing gravity to do most of the work. Which, with her limited movement and ending up with her legs beneath her, would require her to unbalance herself so gravity pulls her to the ground.

This means that not only should she have been bruised slightly from the fall, but also that the little ‘lag’ would allow my character’s bolt of lightning to hit.

2. Reaction times. I have to admit, this is my main problem here. The reaction time that Snowfall would have. As reactions, are instant, messages across the body, aren’t instant. I can’t get any horse reaction times, but the reaction time of the human body is 0.15 - 0.3 seconds. With her agility being a ‘D’ at the time, and a ‘C’ naturally, I think we can say it’ll be in the later stages.

Now, 0.3 seconds is a short amount of time, I grant you that. However, first Snowfall needs to recognize the static electricity, realize what it means, think of a way to dodge the attack - which is not obvious by a long shot, even to a veteran fighter -and then start dodging. That all takes time. And Snowfall, simply does not have time.

I don’t think it was ruled what the exact delay is between the static and the actual bolt, but I’m assuming that its not very long at all. So, I assume that Snowfall either A. Had just managed to start moving when the lightning bolt was launched or B. Hadn’t managed to start moving before the lightning bolt was launched.

Now, funny thing about lightning bolts. They are fast. Incredibly fast. In fact, they move at hundreds... neigh. Thousands of miles per an hour! At this lighting bolt being launched... it was at point blank range. Not even touch a meter in distance, most likely half of that at the most.

Lets do a simple calculation shall we? Lets put the speed of a lightning bolt at... 1000 miles per an hour, and the distance at the full one meter. Time = distance, divided by speed. 1000 miles per an hour, is 1600 km per hour, which translates to 1600 000 meters per hours. Which can then be taken down to 26666 ⅔ of a meter per minute, and 444 4/9 of a meter per minute. To make things easy, lets cut off the 4/9

So, 1/444 = 0.00225 seconds. Rounded to 5 decimal places. That is 2.25 milliseconds. In contrast, 0.15 seconds - which is among the highest possible reaction times for humans - translates to 150 milliseconds. Meaning that the lightning cross a space 66 times faster than the human body can react.

And that is at a meter in length. The attack distance is shorter than that, so it’ll take even less time to pass the distance. Plus, I defaulted to a simple 1000 miles per an hour, when some sources have put it in the tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands. Some even state that lighting moves at the speed of light, which is 670 MILLION mile per an hour!

I’m sorry... but I can see NO possible way for Snowfall to have reacted to the attack quick enough in order to be able to dodge the lightning bolt. And if that lightning bolt had hit, it would count as a death blow, granting my character victory.

…

…

…

Of course, nothing is going to come from this. Ruling’s have already been made, voting has already been cast.

I just... I just want to say my piece. To let people know how I feel wronged by the judges in this game.

710292 I would've let the stun pass. But that's just me.

710308
... And thoughts of my comments about the lightning bolt?

710311 I would have given you the death blow. As in, said you won by death blow.

Again, that's just me.

710324
I wonder what the others think... if they even decide to read this.

710354 However, I also would have called it borderline godmodding, and would have opened up a discussion on this forum. So.

710361
... I'm not going to respond to that.

Instead, I am simply going to wait to see if anyone else decides to comment on this.

710372 Yeah, me too.
...
...
...
...
...
I'm bored. What number am I thinking of?

710292
You're right, this is bad spirited. And if you had an issue, you should have brought it up at the time. I would have been fine if I'd been overruled.

Then again, that's just me.

Also, if you're going to use real lightning physics instead of magic lightning, then the path of least resistance from your claw to a ground would have been your body, completely negating the principles of the attack. Since magic lightning is not real lightning, different rules apply.

710292
I said, during the battle, in several posts, that if you felt a judgement was made incorrectly that you should feel free to protest it. You chose not to. It's a bit late to bring it up now.

As for the stun thing, you do realise that changelings are the single most powerful race in this whole tournament, right? Because of the way the stats are set and adjudicated, you had a literally insurmountable advantage over me, since earth ponies are, hands down, the weakest race in the tournament. I can think of at least four times where you could have gotten the one-shot you wanted and you botched it,leaving me a loophole to escape. None of them had anything to do with the effectiveness of the stunning spell.

Though the effect of the spell wasn't changed by my terrible magic resistance, the duration of the spell was. I had a lingering stat reduction that I was working under for quite a while because of that hit.

Dodging the lightning was decided by Razorbeam as being a legitimate tactic, so that argument is dead already, but just to prove a point here, I want you to realise that I failed that dodge. I still took the damage from it. I just didn't get hit in the eye.

Additionally, hitting me in the eye wouldn't have been a death blow, even if it had landed exactly as you wanted it to. The electricity would do the same amount of damage whether it hit me in the face or the hoof. The only additional effect scoring a hit on my eye would have done is blind me in that eye from the surface burns.

711431
So? It still doesn't change the speed of lightning. Just because its magical lightning, doesn't mean its slower then normal lighting.

Hell, even if it was 10 times slower - 100 mph in speed - it'll still cross the distance in 22.5 mileseconds, which is 6 times faster then some of the fastest ever reaction speeds.

711445 711431
Yes well, I was being Kind. Generous. Sure, I was being Honest in that I did always say when I found a problem with the ruling. But it wouldn't be following the spirit of the show if I had argued about every single thing, would it?

... I'll be honest here. No one here knows me. No one knows anything about me. Which means none of you know my little past when it comes to arguing.

I've been kicked out of RPs & RP forums because of my persistence in arguing my points.

Maybe its because I was too stubborn to admit defeat, maybe the people I where arguing with where too stubborn to see I was right. Maybe it was both. I can't say for certain. All I know is that arguments had brought me a lot of pain, grief and anger.

So excuse me for not wanting to make the same mistake in this forum.

Excuse me for wanting to try and better myself.

Excuse me for attempting to follow the principlaes of the show...

...

...

...

An excuse me for feeling betrayed.

I know. Its stupid. No one knew, I said that myself. No one betrayed me, their simply doing their job as judges, and judging that Snowfall is more deserving off the win...

Even through my character had almost scored multiple death blows.

Even through I changed tactics not once, but twice.

Even through I took a pro-active attempt in defeating my opponent, when Snowfall did nothing but react to what Arcantos did, never did anything off her own initiative.

Even through multiple rulings by judges had already given Snowfall multiple advantages

Even through I went along with it all, when it was obvious that I was not happy with how things where going. I didn't complain about unfairness, or bias...

After all that... all that I did...

And my character was voted out...

Its... just a kick in the gut...

...

...

...

And this is probably just gonna annoy and anger people...

711525 I know that feel, bro.

Well, some of it. I've been blocked because of my inability to pick up social cues was mistaken for being purposefully annoying. So.

710292
If you look at both yours and Azzi's posts. I honestly do think that Azzi was the one that was most creative.
Being creative is more than just being able to write in varied ways, but also being able to utilize the terrain.

Did you notice how many times Snowfall used the terrain in some way to help her? More times than I care to count. Arcantos?
1 - The crevice
2 - The blast thingie in the crevice.

Apart from those two, I really can't think of any other times where Arcantos used the arena to his advantage.
Based on just that, I'd dare say that Aziraphael was, by far, the most creative writer of you two.

711941
... I'm sorry. But how did Azi use the terrain to his/her advantage?

711964
Attempted to smash you into the crevice walls.
Used the holes you created in the ice as 'boosters'.

Just to name two.

711977
... Used the holes as a booster? Snowfall never did that.

And trying to smash me into a wall is hardly creative.

712033
And tryin to tickle her eye ball is creative?

Being creative is to use what you have at your disposal to the best of your ability. And yes, she did use the holes, or some other holes, as a booster at some point.

712055
It wasn't an attempt to 'tickle her eyeball'. It was an attempt at getting a death blow.

Seriously. Am I the one one here that remembers that Razorbeam said its okay to do something like that for a death blow? Check page 5 of the contest discussion to see what I mean.

Also, trying to seal her in a dome of ice and suffocate her is a lot more creative then what Snowfall's done

And no. She never used the holes to her advantage. Ever.

712063
I recall that she did. Making not at that exact point, but she did at some point.

And as I said; A dome to suffocate? No, not creative. Not really.

And you said yourself: The lightning wouldn't do more than tickle to eyeball. It never was a deathblow at any point whatsoever.

712073
1. Well, you read wrong.

2. How is that not a creative use of Arcantos' ability to control and manipulate ice, as well as using the current situation to his advantadge? Hell, the only reason that Snowfall managed to escape is that I forgot to mention Arcantos taking her wings into account. When I mentioned he had taken in the other factors about her, and having just learned about those wings. Would of remembered them and taken them into account as well.

3. ... Read, and learn why the lightning bolt would count as a death blow.

712125
If you wish to say that a lightning bolt where you yourself say that it would do nothing but tickle the eyeball, then it will not count as a death blow. Simple as that.

And using your own abilities in a massive display of power is not creative, at least not in my book. No, to use a lot of minor things and random chances to your advantage, get out of tight situations with nothing but a small simple trick, the smallest thing like the weight of your armour. If you can turn the tides of a battle because of that, then you are creative. If you only use a massive display of power, then you are not.

Also: The links you gave me does not justify 'tickling the eyeball' as a killing blow. Yes, you could have charged up the lightning fully. But it would've taken more time, given Snowfall more time to dodge, and perhabs even dodge it fully.

Now: I'm done with this discussion. I knew you weren't fond of the judges stepping their foot down and not allowing you to do everything you want. Heck, your dislike of us was blatantly obvious in some of your posts. Especially the last one.

Anyway.
Arrivederci.

712148
...
...
...

Wow. Just. Wow.

You accuse me. Of disliking the judges, simply for doing their jobs... simply because I am upset about how the voting has gone?! And because I'm getting annoyed at your inability to listen to what I'm attempting to say?

Wow. Talk about rude.

712125
I am not here to entice an argument, but I would like to propose a problem with your links..

As you can see, in the first example, it mentions me. That was part of a discussion where we trying to sort out how an unofficial duel is done. (I.E., one in the training group.)

That was still in the planning part of duels. Nothing was set in stone as yet.

Besides, as idle further discussion, it was brought up that it should be accepted by both party's involved if a 'deathblow' really counted. Azi had a way out of each of your killing blows, minimizing losses.

712173
And don't you claim you were innocent. You were clearly rude to me in many occasions. Cite source - You claimed you would go to another judge because mine and Kap's verdict was too harsh on you, when what you were asking for was impossible.

I said you couldn't do that, you went off on one anyway stating that I hadn't claimed a verdict.

I will be happy to answer any questions you have.

712208
... Yes well. You where attempting to inform me what my character could do. What I meant when I said my character was a specialist in 'storm magic'. I admit, I was harsh. However, you where overstepping your boundaries as a judge by trying to force your view of my character's abilities onto him.

712213
I see... thank you. I doubt it will change anything. But still. Thank you.

...

...

No matter how things go. Will I be able to challenge Virgil to a duel?

712294
Let me preface everything by saying you're right: this isn't going to change anything.

However, I need to address a few things with you, as I find my patience worn quite thin with your reasoning, and not just with the duels.

I will be blunt and tell you that the first thing you will need to do to ever be 'victorious' in the future is to take your ego down a couple notches. Having read the things you say, I am of the opinion that you are overly full of yourself, and because of this you are rude to those you speak to, overly confident in your actions, and do not handle losing well. All of these are poor marks for any competitor, and even worse ones for a winner. I'm offering this to you as politely as I can in the hopes that you will take it to heart and prevent yourself from burning any bridges in the community.

I figured I would get that one out first, because it ties into everything else. Having read your duel, and heard much about it, you made a number of poorly determined actions that cost you a great deal of mana. If I had to venture a guess, I would say you did so because you had not thought through how many ways there might be to avoid it, because you were overly sure your idea was sheer brilliance. That's not how these games work.

In the event that you'd like to argue that point, I would like to point out that myself and other judges have mentioned to you your frequent "borderline godmodding". Since it's really just your character thinking to himself "There's no way they can escape", it's not really godmodding. But the fact that your character even thinks like this and that you write things in such a manner reflects that you are too sure of yourself to consider failure when you do something, and are then subsequently hurt when you do not get the result you expected.

For example, in regards to your lightning bolt... Yes, I imagine if you were able to complete surprise your opponent, it would be impossible to avoid. But have you considered that your opponent's intelligence ranked the same as Arcantos' own? Or that all spells take time to cast, and reveal themselves prior to casting in some way? Did it cross your mind that someone might react to the precursors before you even fire, leaving you with an unreasonably small time to react and change the firing point of your bolt?

These are the things that occur to judges, and these are the sorts of thoughts that work behind the rulings, and frankly I see no issue with it. The judges do what they do well, and though it sounds cold to say, I would not keep them as judges if they did not do their jobs thoroughly and fairly. Their job is to think deeply about what you and your opponent do.

Your job, when you don't like it, is to question it. You didn't until now, so I classify you as simply sore that you lost, because otherwise you wouldn't have mentioned it at all. If you'd won, you would have ignored this, I'd wager.

Furthermore, what you think your character is capable of in this universe, and what it actually is, are two completely different things. You and I have already had past struggles over your respect for and understanding of my universe's mechanics, so I don't feel the need to really rehash that. But my point is when you say your character can use storm-based magic, that's all it means. It doesn't make you Thor, God of Thunder. It makes you a changeling who specializes in lightning, water, air, and cold magic. As such, he is limited just like any other mage, despite his unique specialization.

The judges understand these mechanics. You do not seem to. In fact, you seem to rather enjoy ignoring them, perhaps in the hopes that others will as well and allow you an advantage.

I've reached the point where to say anything else would be going in circles. I'm certain parts of this sounded less than friendly, but understand I am being frank with you in the hopes that you will see what faults were truly preventing you from winning your duel. If you can read through this and understand it as an honest criticism, rather than a personal attack, I think there is much you can learn from it. However, if you choose to be offended and angry, you will likely learn nothing, alienate people over it, and just generally suffer for it. I hope you can reflect on all of this with a calm mind.

In the words of Gandalf the Grey:
"Do not take me for some conjurer of cheap tricks. I'm not trying to rob you; I'm trying to help you."

712778 ...wow. Just wow. I now see where I went wrong with, like, every single social interaction in my life, and I'm not even joking.

712793
And it wasn't even aimed at you.

712778
Now this, everyone, is how you end an argument like a boss and gentleman. Nicely done Razorbeam.

712977

Thank you kindly.

712993
No problemo, amigo. I just love how you handle stuff. Strong and firm, yet your words speak of your wisdom and kindness. And true leader if I ever saw one... or just read his words.

713050
Well, I don't know about all that...

712778
Arrogance?

Rudeness?

Sore loser?

Is that all you see of me Razor? For if that is. Then you, like so many others... are blind. Blind to the truth.

Maybe I have been overly confident. I know I have made mistakes. Hell, its how Azi had managed to squeeze her way into victory. That, and the judges decisions.

Rudeness however? No. I have not been rude. The ONLY. ONLY rudeness I have directed at ANYONE. Is when judges overstepped their bounds. That is the ONLY time I have been rude. Apart from that, I have been nothing but polite and respectful to everyone.

Sore loser? No. I only spoke up because I feel like the situation and some of the rulings where unfair, that they had given Azi an advantage over my character. However, I only brought up two things. There are many, many things I could of argued about. I could of argued against every single ruling that was made in the battle. But did I? No. Because I am not a sore loser.

Rainbow Bob complimented you on your kindness. On your wisdom. I say no kindness in your words. I see no wisdom. I see NOTHING which sets you apart from those around me. In fact, I could even go so far to say that your words speak of arrogance, more than any arrogance I have ever shown.

Like all the others, you are blind to the truth, and accusing me of things when I have been the opposite.

Accusing me of rudeness, when I have been nothing but polite and respectful.

Accusing me of being a sore loser. When I acknowledged that what I said won't change anything. That I wasn't even trying to change anything. I simply wanted to speak part of my mind.

Just. Like. Everyone. Else.

714146
You have it so much worse than I thought. So be it.

714148
Worse?

That depends on what you mean by worse.

But as it is. You seem to refuse my words.

Where is the kindness in that? The wisdom? The generosity?

There is none. Nothing, but arrogance, and ignorance. And forever more, you'll look down on me. With contempt, or disgust. Or even pity. Negatively, simply because you are blind to your own follies but so eager to point out my own, even when they aren't there.

714149
Oh, please do point out mine.

I critique you honestly, you respond by saying I am the rude one to have done so. You say I am blind to my faults, and proceed to refuse to acknowledge those of your own I have laid before you. I'll have to add hypocrite to the list of negatives regarding you, though of course you will refuse to acknowledge this one as well.

Clearly you think yourself above the opinions of others. Or perhaps you simply fear they are right about you. Whatever the case, you can accuse me of being arrogant, unwise, and unpleasant all you like. It will not change which side of the fence you are really standing on. You put so much faith in yourself that you are incapable of understanding, for you consider not the thoughts of others. And I fear without understanding you will never improve.

I cautioned you against reacting this way. I was calm and collected, and warned you that you would burn bridges if you couldn't take my criticism with a grain of salt. Little surprise to me that you've ignored even that friendly bit of advice, as you've chosen to ignore everything else I've said about you.

Do the both of us a favor: if you are so eager to accuse before recognizing what you are accused of honestly, then don't waste your time. I am happy to admit to my faults, if ever you decide to touch on any I actually have, and you do not. I wish I could say the same for you. Silence would suit you better than an argument here.

714146
If you will, then please answer this question.

What truth?

714151 714161 714156
Enough.

I know people. I understand them. I've been in this situation time and time again.

I know I will not be listened to. I know people here now have nothing but contempt and disgust for me now.

Congratulations. You have proven that through you are all fans of the show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. You have no understanding of its teachings.

Goodbye.

714194
You preach a truth that you refuse to share.

You are what you are called. Hypocrite, Arrogant, Rude.
You refuse to see your own faults even when they are pointed out for you. Why did Razor say what he did in the beginning? To try and help you, to try and make you understand where you did wrong. But even help you refuse.

To be honest, it is you that have not learnt its teachings. You were cornered here, and now you flee, where did FiM teach you to do that?

714206
I recognized that I can be over confident, arrogant at times. How is that refusing to see my mistakes?

As for the truth. I have already told you what it is. But you have chosen to ignore it. Instead labeling me as a hypocrite, and rude.

714239
If you say that you have already said what truth it is. Then please say it again.

And yes, you are a hypocrite.

Let me show you why.

You have proven that through you are all fans of the show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. You have no understanding of its teachings.

This is what you wrote hardly an hour ago.

And, oh, lookie here. Someone hasn't even watched the show!

2. I have not watched a single episode of FiM

And just knowing that you can be those things, isn't the same as realising it.
Have you tried to not be arrogant? Have you tried to think "Why does the judges constantly disagree with me?", or "How come no one sides with me in this debate?"

It's easy. Because you fail to see where you're wrong, where you do wrong, but also why.

And before you say anything: I am rude, right now. I am well aware of that. Don't need to point it out.
Listen, here's what I wish for you to do, and I'm going to try and say it without being rude as before.

I want you to realise that how you've been acting towards just about everyone, has been agitating. You've never once tried to view it from a perspective that was not your own.
What is 'it' then? 'It' is just about everything. From how you blatantly criticise and insult the judges in your battle posts, to how you go to other judges because you are dissatisfied that we do not let you do borderline godmodding stuff.

What has really irked people is your refusal to learn from your mistakes. I haven't read all of your fights. But from what others have told me, and from what I can gather by listening here and there, you have been borderline godmodding the entire tournament, and you still did it in round three.

Understand that when we criticise you, and make those very long posts. It's not to annoy, irritate or even anger you. It is to help you. You cannot see where you've done wrong yourself, so we're ponting you in the right direction, hoping that you'll listen to our words and take them to heart.

I remember one instance in particular. Man Gell and I told you that simply just blowing up a metric ton of ice and incasing Snowfall in it, wasn't going to work for just 15% mana. Furthermore, a spell of such magnitude would be incresingly difficult for a changeling with only B will.
We ruled that the mana cost would be 25% or higher, seeing as it is a massively powerful spell that you just pulled off. After 1½ hour. One and a Half! You finally had enough of us not just allowing you to create a inescapable prison for Snowfall, and went to Razorbeam with it. Even he, said that what you wanted to do was borderline godmodding (which Man Gell and I had said too). I don't know how long it took with him, but I know it took some time before you finally managed to rewrite it enough that it was approved.

You've shown blatant disregard for the judges, disregard for the rules, because; According to them, Man Gell and I could've gotten you disqualified. There's a limit of 5 times where you are warned about godmodding, I don't know how many times we warned you about it. More than five at least. Yet, we didn't. Now, I'm not trying to make Man Gell and I saints, because we're not. I've accidently made some godmodding in my own posts, was told about it and changed it. You did that too, but it took hours and three judges.

You recognise that you can be over confident and arrogant. Good, that's first step. Now here's a few other things that would really help you.

Realise that you're often rude
Realise that you're hypocritical at times
Stop being rude
Stop being hypocritical
Stop being arrogant
Listen when judges, or other people are there to try and help you.

As a final note: I have no contempt or dislike for you. Why should I? Yes, you have irritated me quite a lot, have frustrated me to the point where I had to ask you to send the post to a different judge to avoid me being biased against you. But I have no, and I repeat no reason to dislike you. If I really did, why would I write all this? I write all this to try and help you.

... You dare... you DARE TELL ME TO TRY TO UNDERSTAND THE OTHER SIDE, WHEN THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING TO UNDERSTAND ME!

Yes, as a matter of fact, I dare. Writing in capslock and in red is not going to intimidate me. Doing that is just shows that you're childish.

What "your side" have we not tried to understand? The side that says "I am allowed to godmod, everyone who does't let me is stupid" ?

We judges are judges because we see both sides. What, pray tell, is it that we haven't tried to understand? What side is it that we have ignored?

If you truly believe that we have been a bunch of ignorant apes, then he the reasonable human take the first step! If you think you're better, then be the one to BE better. Don't go and make rediculous posts like the one you just did. We're on the internet, it won't intimidate me. It only makes me laugh.

I can't help but notice that you're only responded to a single sentence in the over 700 words I wrote to you.
Tell me, why are you angry?

Why am I angry?

Because every since I posted my protest. I have received nothing but belittlement, and criticism.

No attempt to understand my reasoning. No attempt to understand the emotions behind my posts.

Just 'OMFG YOU FAG, STOP COMPLAINING YOU WHINNY WHORE, YOU LOST, GET OVER IT BITCH, BTW WE ARE GONNA LIST WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU WITHOUT EVER LISTENING TO YOU, JUST ACCEPT YOUR WRONG ALREADY YOU DOUCHEBAG'

The basis of this forum is a show. A show, that has teachings of friendship. Understanding. Empathy.

No one took Twilight seriously, in either Lesson Zero, or A Canterlot Wedding. And looked what happened there.

When did I belittle you? When did I say you were a whiny whore? When did I call you bitch? When did I ever do any of those things that you just metioned.

You speak of criticism as if it is a bad thing. Criticism is a constructive thing. None, and I mean none of us have at any point insulted or belittled you. We have mentioned your flaws, telling you what you could do better. Why are we liked so much more than you? Because we try to keep our flaws in check, you don't seem to do that and that is why we point it out to you.

You mistake constructive criticism for insults.
I agree, though, that we have not ever taken your 'side of things' or your 'emotions' behind your posts or complaints, into consideration. But there's a very easy answer for that.

The protest you posted, wasn't a protest. It was a complaint stating how you were dissatisfied with how things were done. You stated yourself that it wouldn't change anything, so why complain, or protest for that matter?

Unless you can change something, there is no reason to protest.
There's a reason people don't protest against it snowing in february. That's because they can't do anything about it.

However, people do protest against a certain, say, bill being brought up (SOPA or PIPA for instance). People protested against that because they could stop it by shouting out that they didn't want it.

So I ask, why did you "protest", when you could not change anything?

Edit:
You have not watched the show. Don't go preach about its teachings.

I'm done.

I haven't read your full post. I don't need too.

That edit tells me all I need to know.

714146 Look, bro, believe me or don't believe me, but I understand how you feel. I probably would react the same as you if I were in your position. Fortunately for you, it's not me in your position; it's you.

So, I have a piece of advice to give to you, and I realize full well how much of a hippocrite I'll sound like, but here it is: just let it go. That will make everyone's lives infinitely better.

Have a nice day.

You fail to learn your lesson.

If you wish to be the person that not one person can tolerate to be around, then that is your choice.

I have tried, and been patient and polite towards you and still you refuse.

Goodbye

714320 You used the Tenth doctor to illustrate a point?

My day=made

714325
I'm glad I managed to cheer someone up at least.

714311
Yep, you just got all the info you need from that tiny edit. Anyway, have a nice day, enjoy yourself, and whatever else you'll do with your life.
