To preserve for posterity, as I believe there is a real possiblity it will be deleted, I submit to you my most recent response to Kazan. The post being responded to is here: http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index. ... #msg880547

The text of my post.

Aside from the gigantic ad hominem that was damn near this entire post, and the fact your fiancee's condition has no bearing whatsoever on the topic of discussion...oh wait. Let's not leave that aside.

Because it's true. Quite frankly, I don't care. Perhaps it's because I'm locked into logical argumentative mode, since I just finished a paper, but perhaps that's a good place to be for this discussion. And perhaps I just naturally have no sympathy for arguments that are intended to provoke it. Whatever gains of ethos you may have made were in any case erased by the rather personal and definitely uncalled for nature of your attack on Trashman, followed by empty boasting. Jesus man, it's like you intended to undo whatever you may have done.

Do shut up.

While we're here, let's also point out that you made nice unproveable assertions...and to be quite frank, given what I know of you, I have to state that I severely doubt anyone with much willpower would spend any time around you at all. You are just that unpleasant, that superior, and that goddamn conceited. The only people who would associate with you willingly that I can imagine would be those who end up being controlled by you. Perhaps you are radically different in reality, where people can punch you in the face for acting like you do here. I hope so, for your fiancee's sake.

I'd also like to register, as someone who was diagnosed as clinically depressed once upon a time, my subscription to Marcus Aurelius. "No man suffers anything he is not fitted by nature to bear."

How can he make another thread that where he basically calls someone a dumbass and swear he's not making a troll thread?

Anybody know if he lives in Minnesota? I could slap him for ya!

I always forget fat is a 'condition.' Or does his fiance have somthign else. Also hasnt he been engaged for like 4 years?

Holy crap. I've posted a thread in the admin forum advocating that we count this as strike three.

Meh, he's just Kaz.

Saying that does nothing more than excuse his behavior, though. He needs to get it through his thick skull that coming across as an utter ***hole with every post that he makes, even about the most non-controversial of topics, is not acceptable. If it takes utter ostracization to accomplish this, then so be it.

But this isn't ostracising - it's interference from a higher power.

Kaz reacts aggressively, Charismatic sounds like a 12 year old, TrashMan has the debating capabilities of a turnip, Fury (usually) rules with an iron fist of "give me moar powar(!)". Thats just a few examples - there are users with flaws throughout community, Kaz is just punished like this because he happens to be out of step with everyone else's opinion and is happy to be so.

That's the thing though; he isn't out of step with everyone's opinion. Some (I know aldo is among them on occasion) agree with his views, but his presentation is just so annoying you have to turn on him like a rabid dog.

Kazan is the sort of person who makes me want to disagree with him on everything

After all, who'd want to share opinions with such a complete and utter tosspot?

Don't be afraid to join the Dark Side, aldo. We don't bite...much.

That's exactly it, though. It isn't as though Kazan's beliefs are universally despised; it's just that his personality itself is. I have no problems with holding polite discussions with people who completely disagree with me...but being directly insulted and belittled post after post wears thin pretty damn fast. And with Kazan, it's just non-stop crap, thread after thread. He can't be courteous, he can't take a joke, and he sure as hell can't have a non-argumentative debate. Something has to give eventually; it might as well be now.

Ooh! Ooh! What are my flaws?

Stealing all our project avatars. I'd only had one for less than a week!

I still find it somewhat odd that not long after Goob got an Avatar, complete with Flux Capacitor, the posts all started appearing before previous ones etc on the old boards.

Always felt the two were linked somehow
