Re: Action regarding Blackstar and Deepcrush
It's a reference to Don Quixote, one of the most influential books in modern liteature. To "tilt at windmills" has become a reference to noble but absurd behavior, or a hopeless cause persued in a ridiculous manner.Blackstar the Chakat wrote: At the risk of sounding stupid...what?

Good. Since "less unhelpful" means "more helpful," I'm glad I could help.

I'm not surprised, you went to school in America. It's an option to read in Grade 12 English here.Blackstar the Chakat wrote: Yet, this is the first I've heard of it

Wait till your around longer, you'll find that America is behind on a great many things. At any rate, good luck getting that apology.Blackstar the Chakat wrote:

I'm sure. But hey, being able to blow up the world more times then anyone else has to count for something, right?Cpl Kendall wrote: Wait till your around longer, you'll find that America is behind on a great many things.
I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic, but I think I'll need all the luck I can get with that so thanks. I'm probably going to need it.At any rate, good luck getting that apology.

Re: Action regarding Blackstar and Deepcrush
i'm really trying to help, here, Blackstar: IGNORE IT. I've lost my temper a few times here myself, mostly due to smarmy insults that I'd wager a lot of money wouldn't be said in person. Just skip the drama, and try to have a good time here, while always remembering my thought on the subject: "Sticks and stones may break my bones, just like I'd break theirs if they talked to me like that in person." It's easy for me, anyways.
So, blow it off, and ignore the bullsh*t. They aren't in your face saying it in RL.

So much for the matter being over. Did I miss anything important?

Nope everythings over and done with. Move on people.
What does defeat mean to you?
Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Aye, I can see that. They did a similiar episode on polygamous relationships which I thought was unfair towards those people as well.Blackstar the Chakat wrote:

If anything, you sound like a stereotype-monger emo.
