You're right, I don't know you personally, nor do so many others here, and so I judge you based on the actions and words that you've displayed so far. What I've seen up to this point during this entire debacle is a lack of humour, uptightness, a sour grapes attitude, and a continuous need to justify why you did what you did, in the tired and rehashed form of "not willing to participate in an exercise of self-promotion". Obviously, the poll was originally made as a complete joke and was never meant to be taken seriously by anyone (except apparently yourself). Thus, fast, in his usual playful and facetious way, took the liberty of having just a little more fun with this supposedly fun poll, and decided to elicit "help" in order to win this thing. I don't see any harm in this whatsoever, since it was CLEAR to anyone participating in this thing that it was all for s and giggles. Why you didn't join us in ting and giggling is completely beyond me, since you supposedely have such "a great sense of humour". |

I didn't see him with a sign saying 'flame me' and none of his responses were derogatory, those only came from you.

I only decided to flame him after he said off. I don't consider my original post of "out of our forum you wanker" as anything close to derogatory, since it was meant to be taken in jest, him being a UKTA, and supposedly someone who would see the humour of a non-british speaker using your colloquial.

this is exactly the point, it's a shame that altho most see this, somebody doesn't & keeps beating off about it. Coup is one of the best mods anyway who doesn't have take some off people, so he did deserve to go through, but i think the fact that he's pulled out shows that he doesn't care about popularity, just doing a good job as a mod. The fact he didn't edit it to help himself win also shows his integrity. Sure Swamper would win the final, but it was only for fun, no need for election like whoring, esp in more than 1 subforum from taha, and while he knows I like him as a person, I think he's ruined what was just some fun by getting too serious, if epidermus or whatever he's called wants to flame us for this, then fine, it only goes to show that he's missing the mark more than a blind archer

I would appreciate it if you layed off the pathetic play on words with my name (epidermus), seeing as you're clearly not fit to manipulate the english language for the purpose of eliciting humour in your posts. Furthermore, I find it laughable that Coup now needs Ian to defend him, the same person who opened him a thread for pormotional purposes in the UK forum. |

I always mess with names, it's a thing that 'we' do here in the uk, also check my 'sarcastic' manner in my status, that means that I do some sarcastic things, like fight a thread with an identical one, Coup is not making me come in here & defend him, and if people hadn't taken this out of the context it was meant to be, then we wouldn't need to 'defend' anyone.
Since Taha is such a great mod, maybe he can shut this thread now and let it all end :rolleyes: |

Too bad you don't mess with names in a funny manner. Your name-messing was pathetic. A noob could have done better. That was my point. And thank God for that little status line on top of your avatar. Could have fooled me. All this hoopla surrounding the UKTAs seems to be completely misplaced. Fun my ass. You were supposed to be the ones with a sense of humour. Even the French have you beat here. Anyway, I'm done here. |

i have not summonded ian to defend for me, i am capable of defending myself. Ian made the vote for coup thread while i was at work, and he only did it after taha started what he did, and he did it to keep my from losing a poll which i was winning, and losing it thro shifting the goalposts away from the original issue.
i dont understand why u are having a go at me for telling u to off when u originally called me a wanker? yes you said it in jest, or atleast not in a serious hatred way, but so did i. if you actually spent anytime around the uk forum, or the uk channel you would notice that we often tell each other to off about issues, so maybe you dont know as much about how the uk humor system works as u think u do.
U called me a wanker in the same tone and sense that i told u to off, it is you who took offense first, suggesting that you took this matter more serious than i did. |

You're completely in left field. This is what you posted after I said off:

no im not, but if someone abuses me i abuse them, thats how it works. |
You construed what I said as "abuse". To me, and to any other person who understands the English language, that's a reflection of you having taken it personally, not in jest. You thus decided to reply personally, and not in jest, which of course led me to flame you. So please, do me a favour and stop trying to change the story after the fact. I don't ever take things personally, as anyone in this forum can attest to, but I'll make a quick meal out of someone who doesn't share my light-hearted attitude about things and decides to "give me a go". They usally end up getting toasted. |

unbelieveable.
ours views are far too different to carry on this argument. just because i used the term abuse does not mean i took it personally. i get "abused" all the time at work, by people making jokes of me, but then everyone else at work can also say they get abused by people making jokes at them - it doesnt mean that everyone hates that person and is actually abusing them in a harmful way.
Our definitions of what terms mean from English are obviously very different, along with our style of humor. Carrying on this debate isnt going to benefit either of us, and im sure we both have things our time could be better spent on. I - although its not been that evident in this thread share a lighthearted and fun outtake on life, in which i could find plenty of examples on but im not that fussed to spend the time to find them, as i am sure you could find the same.
i think we should just both end this disscussion now. :cool: |
