i'm having a vision right now. i see myself dancing over your bloody entrails, waving a spear about and ululating at the top of my lungs.
"I asked a question and he tried to help.."
more like you asked a question and he took it at as an opportunity to hurl invectives at me and dweebo, who are trying to make this site as much fun as possible, while he tries to break the rules.
"His level of English is not that strong."
That's entirely irrelevant and I don't see why you bring it up. Your english isn't too good either.
Karl stop being an idiot. Nosovs was not trying to break rules....not that its any of your damned business since you didn't even hang out here then. He wasn't directing anything at you or dweebo, just citing an example, perhaps not neutral enough, but hardly malicious. As for you and dweebo teaming up to make the site as fun as possible, dweebo's site has suffered from your contribution far more than it has benefited. Before you came around we had positively minded service oriented admins that had a clue and the only reason we have you to deal with is for lack of anyone willing to spend the time to do the deal. So congrats to you, but I can promise I can be so bold as to speak for the majority of people I know here and state that your voice wouldn't be missed if it disappeared. Del had a question and nosovs tried to help. Do everyone a favor-mind your business and shut the **** up.

If this is the future of Dweebos stone games? Nice knowing you Peter. You really have a good idea of how to run the site into the dirt. Just let a adolescent angry boy run most of everything. Good job. I am done..
Ummmmm Del did you miss the post about karl not being an admin anymore? Just in case ya did, Peter took his title and privelege away (see forum titled "admin").
Karl, I dunno if your attitude is actually as immature as it comes across, and therefore if this is even an issue to you, but my guess is that if you keep up the insults and offensiveness in general that you're gonna get banned from the site altogether. I agree with dweebo that you do have something to offer (see forum titled "admin") in the pente universe, but that doesn't mean that you're inexpendable. You have GOT to learn manners and respect, or alternatively, silence.
"Just let a adolescent angry boy run most of everything."
I honestly cannot begin to describe how inaccurate that is. in my brief tenure, I was an admin in name only; before dweebo slapped the stupid title next to my name nobody gave a flying **** about me, but as soon as i was granted exalted status, everyone wanted blood. as you are all no doubt aware, my "privileges" included NOTHING other than having co-owner status of a table that i didn't own. oh and having my name in italics! you call that being an admin? cuz i don't.
when people like nosovs accuse me of spying on people's computers, or people like del call me an adolescent angry boy, i take offense, and answer in kind. homebrew saw this dilemma and advised me to "suffer fools gladly and not stoop to the level of those who are complaining," and for a while I tried, but when all my efforts resulted in was more complaining and more hostility, i decided to say a few words in my defense.
so here we are again, with the 2 or 3 people on this site (squirrl, del, thad) who have some sick vendetta against me convincing dweebo what a terrible person i am. and squirrl, you'll notice that it's never me who starts these wars, so your cute little "learn manners or silence" doesn't really hold water.
so now i no longer have the words ADMIN next to my name. does that mean you sick ****s will finally leave me alone again?
LMAO karl. You are one truly deluded little man. I feel sorry for homebrew's name being associated with your defense. The only thing I've ever had a problem with is the way you run your mouth at my table, in the forums, in the main room......ummm well I guess its easier to simply state that you run your mouth too much. When I chime in to the defense of another the only reason is that youre bullying them with insults. Say what you want from here out child. You never have or will register on my scale of priority, kind of an insect if you will, admin or not......I just thought it a shame that peeps leave the site because of you so I wanted them to see that you really are nothing (and if you utilize that peanut-sized wad of tissue above your neck that the Doctor refers to as a brain, you might find that the only time I ever weighed in is when that was an issue, no vendetta here. lmfao. as if. ). Very telling that you applaud del leaving over your bullshit also. You have any IDEA how long he's been around here? You have any idea what kind of community you've all but destroyed here? After being gone for about a year and coming back & talkin' to folks about the weed that grew in Partica's absence (anyone remember her style?) its truly sad. Damn. How do ya get that back I wonder.
Del: Heya Del, ltns! Yes, Vista is paranoid, much like an attorney for a ladder manufacturer or a tobacco company. Also, it's sooo not ready for the real world; I recommend going back to XP if possible, at least until MS releases the first (ahem) “service pack” for Vista...
- "...if i'm reading your information, it's thanks to my 1337 haXX0rZ skillz..."
Karl: IF you are indeed reading Nosov's information by virtue of the "skillz" you're bragging about, then you are (among other things) a felon. Congratulations!
- "....so nosovs has an axe to grind... ...take your grudge elswewhere."
- "...filter your speaking - you are young boy who is speaking with rather old man."
Nosovs: Anyone with a modicum of social "skillz" would speak respecfully in all his/her communications, regardless of any age difference. The only exception is when chastising rude people, and even then such chastisement is best done indirectly...
"...you just need to get over yourself"
Irony Alert! Woop! Woop!... This after being made aware of an age difference...
"Karl is it necessary to insult everyone?... ... Can you not think? Are you incapable of actually putting your feet in a anothers persons shoes...."
After watching Karl play, I don't question his ability to think; I question his ability to feel (for others, that is)...
"...trying to make this site as much fun as possible..." Good job Karl; how's that working out? Not just for the only person you seem to care about, but for everyone else too?
"If this is the future of Dweebos stone games?
Hold that thought Del, and please be patient. Read on to the end, por favor...
"before dweebo slapped the stupid title next to my name nobody gave a flying **** about me"
I'm sure Peter is gratified by deference you accord the title, as well as the graciousness and tact with which you've executed the associated responsibilies...
"2 or 3 people on this site... ...who have some sick vendetta against me convincing dweebo what a terrible person i am"
Really. A "vendetta"? Two or Three? Terrible person? Think about these things Karl, and please stay tuned...
"...You have any idea what kind of community you've all but destroyed here?"
Sq: Seems you're expecting him to understand something he's never experienced before. Karl is not solely responsible for the deterioration of the online Pente community, although his attitude/behavior has been a contributing factor.
"...in Partica's absence (anyone remember her style?)"
Ah, yes, mi amoeba! (sigh!) I remember those days fondly. Back then, there was a true Pente "community", in every sense of the word. Perhaps I'm guilty of over-idealizing the "good old days" (to which I was a relative newcomer), but I was impressed by the comraderie among the regulars here at Dweebo's site. Seems everyone was ready to give whatever they had to offer, be it strategic advice, moral support, or a funny witicism to help lighten each other's day. A review of the discussion forums from that era tells the story; seldom does one find the sort of invective and nastiness that seems to pervade the boards now...
As far as remedies go, I have little to offer other than my own perspective. I am working on a (rather longish, I'm afraid) essay that attempts, albeit poorly, to put all of this in context and offers my own meager vision of how the DSG community might regain some semblence of it's former vitality (and no, it does NOT involve banning karlw, or anyone else). I can't say when, exactly, it will be ready, but I will post it in a new thread here sometime in the next few weeks. Not that I expect my pearls of wisdom to change the world or anything, just that I feel that I owe it to Peter and all my Pente friends (you know who you are) who once enjoyed a place that made your heart smile...
