CLIFF NOTES ARE AT THE BOTTOM FOR YOU LAZY BASTARDS.

Nimbus, you're right. You do slap me all the time, and you do make me look bad every time you interact with me. You continue to insult me to which I have nothing to say except "lol" or random retorts. I can't prove a thing to you in game because the account is canceled and i've no funds to renew it atm. You win several internets. Everything you say is right, Nimbus... and here's why.

Nimbus, do you know what a car is? Do you know what good credit is? I truly hope so because your most recent arguements hint that you do. Now, I don't know what you consider "rich" or "Well to do" where you come from, but for me, they aren't what most consider for their first choice. No, I consider family and friends wealth, and from the way you boast you are clearly leaps and bounds richer than I am. Do I care? No. Y'know why? Because what little I have I consider priceless. You can be buried in wealth but it's nothing; NOTHING compared to the irreplaceable people I have in my life. You can say the same thing, but I don't really care because my friends and family are unique and cannot be duplicated. You may be happy, but I can garauntee you i'm loads happier than you. I don't need to know you offline to come to this conclusion. The fact that you brought it up first in an insult tells me this.

There are other forms of more tangible wealth, Nimbus. Like cars and homes. Do you have either, Nimbus? Because I do. I drive a honda civic and I live in a roach-infested apartment complex. It may not be something to brag about, but it's more than what I can say for many people in my area. I'm happy with what I have done with my life so far. I'm only 22, I have plenty of time to improve. Nimbus, do you know what it's like to have your own home? It's a great feeling knowing that you have your own castle to return to after a hard days work. Sure, because of my income and my choice in vehicle I don't have much money left over for food or much anything else, but it's my choice, and i'm happy with it. My diet mostly consists of microwaveable noodles, and breakfast sausage burgers. Why? Because they are cheap and give me what I need to continue from day-to-day. Do you know what it's like having a budget, Nimbus? One that you are bound to and your parents can't help against? I do. And it's one of the best things in the world to experience. Though i'm sure with the way you prattle on about the offline world you have a two story house, and a two car garage that you paid for on your own?

Despite what little money I have for myself, Nimbus, I have hobbies. Like everyone else does. My main source for enjoyment comes from World War II documentaries and old war movies. Usually I settle for what is on TV, but I occasionally rent dvds to satisfy my hunger. My second hobby, is anime. It's not as big as the first, but it's ever present. I watch an episode or two every day and often skip a day or two when my body requires rest or when I have a prior engagement with friends. I have wallscrolls and I have figurines. Do you know why, Nimbus? Because it is part of the experience and I like collecting things. When I was alot younger I used to own every single Pokemon and Digimon card, as well as a humongous assortment of baseball cards and 2" plastic team hats. As I grew older I sold them and began to collect dvds and figurines. Presently i'm starting to decrease my budget on anime and related items because the bills aren't going away. I'm far from in debt, but if I continue like I am i'll be in the red with places like Nuvell calling ME instead of my parents. Do I see myself giving up anime anytime soon? Hell no. No amount of insults thrown at me will change the way I choose to spend my time or money. Call me childish. As long as I enjoy what I spend my money on, I could care less what i'm called. However if you feel the need to continue to insult me for this, so be it. You clearly have a superior job to me with your own home and your own mode of transportation, and you clearly make more than me. You're richer than I am, right? You have normal hobbies, right? You have gourmet meals every day, right? Then clearly you have the right given to you by god to insult the way I choose to spend my free time.

Nimbus, you talk alot about me offline. I wonder, did we grow up together? Is this a last resort? Is this an attempt to bait me? I'm puzzled how you can come to such conclusions when you really don't know me offline. Now, I know you don't want to hear that, but it's true. Typically when someone drags the offline world into the mix when they are ignorant of the persons life offline, it ends with both sides flamming both of their offline habits. I don't do that. Now i'm sorry if you are upset that i'm not much of a flame partner, but I don't get into the whole flame thing because I have no rage, hatred or love of the thing to vent. I have nothing to prove to anybody. I joke alot, and sometimes i'm serious. Most of the time when I joke it's obvious, other times it's not. Whether I am joking or not, you can't expect much of a flame out of me; my life thus far has been a great one. I've never been presented with an opportunity to practice flames be it offline or online, and I thank our great king in heaven for that. Why? Because look at how vicious some people can be... to think of where they got the practice to do these things is dreadful. Do I weep for them? No. Why should I weep for them if they do not wish to be wept for? Why must a persons merit be judged by how well they can flame someone? Sure, this forums name is obvious, but do you question anyone else similiar to me? No, not often enough to justify a "yes". Why should everything involved with you be dragged into serious FW's from a grudge you have with me? I realize that; racist comment or not, you and your people are the kings of insults on the fly. Be it by birth or practice in the "Ghetto", no one can challenge you kings of insults. Though, I speak from personal experience and so I am completely ignorant as to what the rest of the world is like, but I feel my experience is justifiable as an example because it is all that I know.

You flame my choice in pictures to post and then label me as an anime fanatic based on them. Do you know why I post these pics in threads? Do you have any idea, Nimbus? It is because it is the only thing interesting to me that I feel posting in a thread that is about to die anyway. Do you know what I do in threads, Nimbus? I help derail them. Usually one anime picture does the trick, sometimes their just ignored. Either way, it's my choice to post them, and your choice to ignore them or obsess over them. My avatar and sig contain anime. I have no justifiable reason for that other than citing it as an extension of my hobby. Every now and then I get an occasional PM or email asking for information on my avatar and sig combo from unlikely sources(sometimes unlikely). Many times i'm delighted to see follow up PMs or emails saying how much they enjoyed said anime. Does anyone send you PMs or Emails asking about your sig or avatar, Nimbus? If I can make even one person happy for just a moment, then I can continue my mission here on KI with pride, dignity(not much), and honor. This brings me to my mission on KI...

Every forum has five groups of people who post: The normal poster, the flamer, the spammer, the derailer, and the forum authority.

-The normal poster does just what his name implies: posts normal posts. He makes the threads in all the sections(usually) and carrys a wide-range of thread topics with him. These guys usually don't see too many flames, spam, derailing, and usually no moderation.

-The flamers are the ones who attack other members, but do so in a way that it cannot be classified as a personal attack. When they have their prey they attack with tooth and nail and don't give up until moderation occurs or the fish gets away.

-The baiters are the instigaters. They work with the flamers and plant the seeds that will sprout hatred or spawn some sort of confrontation between flamers, normal posters, and moderation.

-The spammers fill the threads to the brim with spam. They are usually the reason threads go from 1 to 10 within minutes. The flamers and normal posters usually aren't responsible for such events.

-The forum authority keep the other four in check. These are admins, moderators and web masters who insure that the forum is kept in a nice and orderly fashion.

So what am I, you ask? I am a hybrid. I fall under the "Normal", "Spamer" and "Baiter" category. I make my share of intellectual posts, as well as my share of spam and bait. It is because I am a hybrid that I have not been banned yet. If I was just a "Baiter" then I can almost garauntee that I would have been banned fifty times by now. However, since I do my share of other posts I have a bit of positive karma working for me.

This brings me to my final point, Nimbus. I am not a flamer. I'm not now, nor have I ever been a member of the flamer party. I simply lack the experience necessary to do it, so I work on my other skills which I have already stated. I'm sorry if you think you can get enjoyment out of me with a flame war, but you will be dissapointed if you continue to believe this. I sometimes mix my facts and jokes seamlessly and so for some it's hard to discern. I will not, however, lie about my personal experience. You can call me a liar as far as my accomplishments in game go, but you should know that it is no farse. Everything I have said that I have done in this game; joking aside(cheap shotting Genbu, etc), I have done. Believe it, or not. That's your choice to make and since I have no way to prove it(canceled FFXI, remember?), I am clearly at your mercy when it comes to proving anything in-game.

CLIFF NOTES:

You're right, Nimbus.
My car is shit.
My apartment is shit.
My hobbies are shit.
My friends are shit.
My job is shit.
My game life is shit.
My ability to flame is shit.

But you know what, Nimbus? I'm fucking happy with my life. I don't give a damn if you believe me or not.

NOTE the first: I made this thread because Nimbus actually asked me to. Not because I feel the ncessity to do so without being asked first.
NOTE the second: Grammar, spelling, punctuation, grammar again, etc, may be a little off. I typed this as it came to me here in the break room. The computers don't have spelling check nor do they have a way to check for other errors, so if it's a little bonk forgive me.
NOTE the third: Again, sorry for the emo rant fellas. I just felt obligated to post a counter thread to Nimbus after he is putting so much effort into me lately.
NOTE the fourth: Hopefully this thread will still be around when Nimbus logs on, and I get in from work.

EDIT: There's alot of things I should add, and a few that I should remove, as well as a ton of things I need to re-word, but I feel that it's fine the way it is. So back to work I go. Later.

And now, it's 'Let's make Ura feel better!'

CLIFF NOTES:
You're right, Nimbus.
My car is shit.

Does it have forward, reverse and park?
Can it efficiently use the 3 gears listed above?
Does it get you to where you want to go?
Obsessing over cars is retarded. Who cares if he makes up some shit about having a 'better car' than you?

My apartment is shit.

Does it have at least 4 walls and a roof?
Is it moderately affordable?
Then it's not shit. It's your home. So he can regale you with some bullshit about his 'crib'. Who cares? You have your own form of shelter, he has his.

My hobbies are shit.

Hardly. They keep you entertained. That's what they're for. Comparing hobbies and trying to argue whose are 'better' is like comparing your level of happiness, and who's happier. Everyone has a different definition of entertainment. Apples != Oranges, although they're both delicious.

My friends are shit.

I don't know you or your friends personally, but I do know they're your friends for a reason. Again, comparing friends is like that 6th grade shit when your level of popularity was directly related to the number of people on your buddy list.

My job is shit.

You may not enjoy it, but I assume it pays the bills. And who cares if someone has a job that's more fun? Hell, I'd LOVE to be the CEO of Google and make billions. But that's not happening. I'm content with my job in the stockroom of the local Target.

My game life is shit.

OH NOES! NOT YOUR GAME LIFE!!!!!!!1111112one
Cynical, assholeish, and sarcastic, yes.
But also true. As long as your'e enjoying the game(s), don't bother comparing your progress to other people.

My ability to flame is shit.

Honestly, the images you link are funnier than the first page of /b/.

Don't let some fucker over the internet get you down. What's he going to do? Type at you furiously?
Normally I don't defend people like this; I couldn't care less if someone gets shit flung at them over the internet.
But when something is obviously affecting someone's life outside the anonymity of the internet, I get pissed.
And by posting this, you're letting him win. He's just following you to piss you off, and he's completed his mission.
Don't think he'll stop because you posted this. He's still safe behind his keyboard, seperated from you by miles of cables. He can do anything he wants, because you'll never find him outside of the internet.

Honestly, your life should not be dictated by things that come from a cat5 port in your wall.
