He will not change because first he doesn't know how to post properly with he's aspiness getting out of control. Second, he had already mention it. Third, Kingborg give him a spell check link wich he seems to decline. Clearly he doesn't want to change for the forum sakes.
He should be out already. Not only he's inappropriate way of posting wich clogs the threads, but also making racist comments.
*IP BAN*
Anyway. People attacked him constantly. He said he wanted to "make peace." That does mean change on his part. I offered clear and direct advice instead of yelling at him. Which maybe shouldn't be necessary but I felt like no one has done that and I would give him a chance to come up. If he wouldn't even make an effort after that. I mean I still enjoy his posts, personally. (If they stay away from things like "i dont want to be a getto black
" I mean wtf, that is seriously uncool!) But if he can't make an effort after that then I can no longer disagree with those who say it's time to go.
I was going to say, let's see what his next post will be before calling for bans and whatnot. So I just checked, his account is already closed. I guess that shows what the deal is. If he makes another account he better shift his posting style. Or it will be the same thing all over again.
The spellchecker is a bit off I give you that. Though it shows at least the effort by Kingborg to help him but to no avail. All his post afterwards were impossible to choose wich one was more retarded. Clearly he didn't want to change his antics.
How come you enjoy his post? I mean, they were ridiculously bad. Anyhow, he's out. Fuck him and hope he doesn't come back.Are you sure you want to delete this post? Yes | No

Windows95guy listen up. I don't know what this business about "getto black" is but it doesn't sound very good to me. For real not cool. 
Putting that aside, you want to make peace, I'ma try to help you out. It comes down to understanding how this board works, and adhering to certain conventions. People are protective of this community. Invested in it. That's good. Quality posting adds to the site. Thoughtless blathering does not. Your mind might race a mile a minute when you're posting, but if your communication is ineffective, it's not doing the job of sharing with other people in a way that they can, or want to, respond to. That is why they get frustrated at you.
1. [u]Punctuate[/u]. Just throw in a few periods and commas, where appropriate. If you don't know, just think about when you move on to a different thought. Signify it with the markers a grade school English teacher should show.
Two different meanings
For instance, your second reply to this thread:This is a thing I call "word salad".Windows95guy wrote:If you people dont want to exsept my offer then its your loss im sorry & im not trolling that would be you people if i was a troll i would go around calling someone a offensive name just for the heck of it & i dont do that & i was being serious about the Hitler thing it was not ment to be funny.
The 90s is the lettuce, the CDs are carrots, and MP3s are tomatoes
There's a whole bunch of stuff all mixed up in there, and getting any of it clear is not easy. I can understand how people take issue, even if I don't have a problem with it. With a little editing you can make it much easier for people to read. I think this will cut down a lot of complaints about you. Lemme rewrite that a little for you:Windows95guy wrote:If you people dont want to exsept my offer, then its your loss. im sorry, & im not trolling. that would be you people. if i was a troll, i would go around calling someone a offensive name just for the heck of it, & i dont do that! i was being serious about the Hitler thing. it was not ment to be funny.
Do you see the difference?? That's key in this. If you don't, you may as well stop reading.
Not perfect, but it's a start. It is a lot easier to parse. No one is actually demanding perfection. It's a simple matter of everybody wanting to be able to read what you write easily.
2. [u]The old thread thing[/u]. This is another thing that I don't mind, but many do, and I can see where they're coming from. Keep in mind that this website moves very slowly right now. I dislike that but it's just the way it is, nothing can be done about it. So when a thread appears, seemingly out of nowhere, with three or four or ten pages, it confuses some people. Then, they click on it, aroused by the promise of an exciting and lengthy new conversation in which they can engage. Only, look here! The OP (original post) was years ago! The person who wrote it hasn't even been here in years! And many of the people who replied to the thread are also gone! In any case, nobody has thought about the thread in at least two years. So, conversation relevant to the rich tapestry of the preceding five pages is impossible.
This is some straight-up fuckin BULLSHIT
If you are going to bump a very old thread, it would be best if you have something insightful to say. That way, you can spark new conversation along some lines other than "OMG stop bumping old threads!" If you don't have anything very interesting to add, well, nobody seems to mind much if you would start a new thread about the topic in that case.
This may be a bit of a balancing act, because one is supposed to avoid making duplicate threads. My personal guideline is, if it's on the first page of the forum, it's fine to reply. If it's not on the first page, and the last reply was over six months ago, you better leave that thread alone.
3. Finally, [u]relax[/u]! There really is something behind what people say to you. It doesn't come out of nowhere for no reason.
In the context of this site--which again is a fairly slow message board--you are a prolific poster. Because of that, you are going to draw attention. Therefore people's responses to your actions are naturally magnified. The appearance of a sentence that doesn't let the reader catch his or her breath because it is as long as two normal paragraphs and contains no written cues is OK once in a while. Somebody might be a little annoyed, and somebody else might make a joke about it. But when it happens multiple times daily, it starts to feel like the only thing there is to read. "Oh I can't read this. I will move on to the next thread... Argh! There it is again!" Repeat, ad infinitum. That will drive people nuts! So when they get hot under the collar about it, try to understand where THEY are coming from.
Much like your posting
If somebody makes a joke at your expense, you should not blow up about it. You don't have to counter every little thing. This is the internet, as you have said before. It's very casual. That means we can all be friends here, and at the same time, we can all make jokes on each other. If something strikes a particular nerve with you, there's a few ways you can handle it. You can make a joke back. This is the hardest thing to do, but it has the biggest payoff. If you have a reply that is relevant and is truly funny, you can win people over. Cleverness is impressive. Easier, less grand, but unoffensive, is a show that you can take it. "Oh ho ho, you sure got me there
" 
Wakka wakka!
is a lot more acceptable than "now listen let me tell you about something other people dont have such a problem with me i dont know why you have to but if thats so on
and so forth 
" People don't care about what you can tell them about other people. If you want them to recognize, give 'em something to recognize. As it is, some people take great pleasure in getting a rise out of you. Can't really argue with 'em, cause you kind of have extreme reactions. 
But you don't get this guy's results.tangspot2 wrote:Mrs. stake you say some nasty on my threads. Dirty bitchAre you sure you want to delete this post? Yes | No
