mods are 95% of the time, gay. But hey, for that 5% of the time, I agree. The key is not making it tooooo modable, or you get well, a lord of the rings mod for instance. :cough oughGAYcough:
Don't wanna be picky but don't you think that calling things you don't like "gay" is offensive? Also I don't see the problem with a "too modable game". If you do not like the mod - do not use it. Unless you dislike the sole fact that there exists something which is not to your liking.
Gay: 2. Showing or characterized by cheerfulness and lighthearted excitement; merry. 3. Bright or lively, especially in color: a gay, sunny room.
Of course, kevincompton meant that. Seriously, there cannot be people around who use other meanings of the word in a negative sense. That'd be outright offensively and mindless towards homosexuals.
My meaning is a common expression used in America to say something is lame or stupid.
I know it's common in US. Thankfully not in Europe, so maybe it would be good to bear that in mind. Also however common something is it doesn't change anything.
Do you really think we need someone to post "Nothing new to say" once in a while? I'm sure that when something new occurs the news will be posted ASAP. We waited a year for a patch surely a month more won't hurt...
My customs and culture are my own and I refuse to be embarrassed of them, whose to say whats an acceptable matter of speech and what isn't? Certainly not you, and especially not to me.
If you wish to discuss cultural differences in communication habits, please feel free to open a thread in the DMZ.
And you are posting on a website based in Germany, a website whose main audience is Europeans! "You're not in Kansas anymore, Dorothy!". You should keep that in mind when choosing your phrasing!
Dobber, did you not see angryminers post? Lets just discuss the patch only!
Also I should inform you that in most countries, referring to a man as a girl is a slap in the face.
Also I don't live in Kansas, that would be like me telling you that you live in Switzerland. I live in LA, California and I'll speak as I speak and not be intimidated by bullies. Also I would like to remind you this is the English forum so expressions common in my language should be taken for what they are from someone whose native language is english, not German.
well, to comment this discussion again (I did, but to follow Angryminer's words I rather removed my comment to keep the thread clean)
kevin. Your customs are your customs. If your custom is to offend everyone who says a word you like, it's your choice.
But Dobber is right. This forum is on German domain and all people here have to respect german laws.
I think that being respectfull towards others won't hurt anyone.
We already know that you probably find it hard to understand words like politeness or kindness.
btw, I didn't get the point of your post which started all this. I haven't found any post in 5 previous that you could comment.
And I guess Dobber just used citation from some book he suppose we (or at least you) have red
it's your right not to be polite. But you should be ready for the consequences: that you can't expect any politeness from anyone else than you.
you can see that Europeans (namely Doux) didn't even expect you could act impolitely and use that word in impolite way.
