I will try to reply but considering there was no spacing and just a bunch of run-on sentences in your post making it so hard to read and just a bunch of whiny pablem I submit for your consideration and guidance.
So the replies are to OLD posts. Do I have to be here every day to be able to respond to the NEWEST POSTS in the discussion I am in for my response to be valid?
I was not here for a few weeks. But I guess I had to BE HERE constantly for YOU.
So I use some CAPS when I post. Am I required to to express myself in some other way? Why do you get to criticize ME for deciding to capitalize a few letter or even all of them if I want to?
I have to conform my style to YOU.
You and a few others have to ATTACK anything I post because of LETTERS. For NO OTHER REASON than a few LETTERS. It is SO PETTY and such a WASTE of everyone's time. Yet here we are again. Jackass doesn't like it and everything I do have to suit YOU.
If you read things I say as a SHOUT that is YOU. That is you. I have explained to YOU several times that it not my intent but nothing gets through to YOU and your obsessions with LETTERS. Nobody makes you read any of this yet somehow YOU want to call all of the shots about who can post what and when and where and HOW.
Your point is garbage from beginning to end. Mind your business. Stop trolling me PERSONALLY. Your entire input that I am now responding to was not needed by ANYONE other than your own mind.
Ad it is YOU that was doing something to BREAK the FORUM with your post. And you know it. |

Seriously, it makes it hard to read. I can't take anything you write seriously, because I can barely get through it.
Use caps on one in a thousand words if you to use it for emphasis; otherwise, it simply turns off readers too much. |

I personally love that the forum on etiquette has degraded into a bunch of examples of bad etiquette. |

That got me thinking - is there bad etiquette? Or are there just more and less egregious breaches of etiquette? SHOUTING LIKE THIS
But back on the original topic - it's certainly seen as bad in some sports to score too much. I heard some radio jocks the other day complaining that a hopelessly mismatched student basketball game had concluded 110-0, as if that was a bad thing. (I can't think that's the case - if you think of the glory of England-San Marino last month, there's certainly something to be said for a ludicrous scoreline. And I say that as the guy who got salty when a Khorne team put 4 TDs past me...) |

There's no SPP in basketball. |

I think the complaints like this come from the fact that watching a stomp isn't as interesting as watching a more even game, not that there is something wrong with scoring as much as you can.
If anything, I'd say purposefully seeking out new players to get an easy score off them would be bad taste, for example. But that is not a problem with random matchmaker (there are other issues related to that). |

It was supposed to degrade into an examination of how wonderful I am, but apparently the relevant parties don't read my posts..... |
