Do you take flames seriously?

brc64 · Jul 11, 2002, 10:51 PM

With all the stuff going around lately, I'm starting to worry about some of the people here. Do you actually take the mindless flames people create seriously? Some of the things I've posted may seem to suggest that I do, but I can honestly tell you I don't give a damn about anything I read here.

So, when somebody insults you, or posts something otherwise offensive, do you actually get angry about it? I would THINK that most people here know that nothing should be taken seriously, but I'm starting to wonder about some of you..

No I dont, as u can see a majority of the flames here are humorous(sp) and not really all that offensive. I think most people here flame all in good fun, and the people who are just plain lame. Well I don't give a rats ass about them, so how can I take them seriously?

UberLord · Jul 11, 2002, 11:16 PM

Its supposed to be tongue in cheek, humurous and stuff. Just a place to blow off steam. As such, it cannot be taken seriously.

This post is far to serious - who votes it should be moved to off-topic?

JavaFox · Jul 11, 2002, 11:53 PM

Two votes for yes?

If you read my posts in the FlameZone, and then read them in any other section, you'll see that the attitude is totally different. Same with reno, or any other person, with the exception of perhaps Ijustwannaknow. What does this say? It means we're being out of character in here for shits and giggles.

So don't take it seriously.

It's always serious when you're caught short and you've got to *gasp* use a public toilet *gasp*. OH the horrors! Is there any paper left? Did the last user diddle on the seat?

If the flame is outside the flame warzone, then I take it seriously. If its in the flame warzone, then I just lower my intelligence level half a notch and begin to senselessly babble with only the goal of angering everyone else.

It is only you complete half-tarded jackass's that don't. Everything in life should be taken seriously. Ever wonder why your still flipping burgers? Ever wonder why that even after 4 years of hard work you haven't made shift leader? Ever wonder why being over 30 years old you still live with your parents?

Think about it imbecile. START TAKING THINGS SERIOUSLY. If you did maybe, even with your lack of skills and intelligence, by your next life you could make manager at your McDonalds.

Shut the fokk up and get serious.

It would figure you live in CA. I wish someone would shove a balistic missle up your ass. Tree hugging, too scared to fight, liberal.

I'll pretend I didn't see this. When I check back I'll expect you'll have a much better response than this.

Oh no, I don't think it's gonna be that easy for ya. You made me work, I'm gonna make you work to find out on your own.

(Besides, if I told you it would take all the fun out of it!)

I'm still sort of waiting to see you and Billy go head to head sometime over the merits of Rage3D....I'd pay money to read that thread!

No worry about the almighty Zardoze, you've already got him fooled. I mean, who else is so dumb he thinks "getting lucky" is finding a penny on the ground. But i don't mean to "flame" him because he has too much yardage between the goal posts, if you know what I mean.

Do you think we could "help" him if we started a Zardoze relief fund?

And of course one of my favorites; I fart in your general direction!

The 6 YES votes are from attention seeking yanks, who lost access to their shrink after losing their fast-food job at the trailerpark.
