Ephialtes is a pompous douche bag

[Illidan]

I'm saying what you perceive to be pomposity is just me behaving like a mature adult in response to people (understandably) behaving like immature kids.

as far as i'm concered, "mature adults" don't have to be like yourself, and act like they're far more important and better than other people.

all you've shown so far about yourself is that you know a few synonyms, how to use them, and how to attack somebody for being simpler than you.

i'd rather say hurf durf in an argument, like him, than sound like a pompous douche bag, like you

So you'd rather provide no actual learning experience or development instead of speaking the truth?

by the time i start using "hurf durf" in an actual argument, it's just turned into friendly mockery

[Chrono]

I'd personally rather be the starfish. Sure they'll be all angry and whatnot while you're arguing, but if they're actually listening, they'll catch the harsh truth in your words and be better off for the future.

[DrMobius]

I looked over your posts and you come across as an infantile troll who posts a lot of irrelevant stuff that I often have to clean up after.

Should I make a drama topic about you and start calling you names?

I couldn't help but notice that relevance is an issue here.  Can I use this quote to follow up?

How is that relevant? It's better to move this to a new thread instead of crapping up someone else's.

They are a 100% way to make you seem like a pathetic child and cause the person trying to engage in an intelligent discussion with you to give up out of not wanting to waste their own time further.

If that's considered winning an argument, then sure.

So, you're accusing tape of being a pathetic child?

You don't even have any examples of this purported douchebaggery to support your accusation.

I've always said that I'm a douche in situations that call for it, and only towards people who are also douches.

Maybe you could start by admitting how pathetic and dysfunctional you are. It'd sure make this drama thread a lot shorter.

Your e-snake is clearly large enough that you can pass judgment over the internet.  Did I get anything?

Do you see the issue here? You post a chunk of stuffty code and then say that - it doesn't help at all. If you want to argue this further, feel free to re-read that thread because I conveyed my point very well. If it still doesn't make sense, maybe cry and leave the forums again. When you get back, perhaps you'll be less ignorant.

1: You know exactly what the code was meant for, but you treat it as a copy paste like any new user. Instead of using sarcasm to make long posts which make you seem smart and cool to other users while also demeaning me and making noobs hate me, your time could be better spend correcting mistakes kindly and giving everyone an equal share of the love.

2: Your point you conveyed is "Wow, he posted some non-working code as an example. I should start a flamewar." where I must note you responded for the whole argument.

3: I didn't leave the forums, I got banned for an extremely long time due to your continuous trolling and discounting any post I make so that you gain more notoriety and postcount.

<-- Flame me for that, it's more fun and logical.

Sure. If I was having an argument with someone face to face and they started saying "HURF DURF" I'm going to assume they're either being incredibly immature or mentally disabled. I'm sure you'd just "HURF DURF" back at them and the high-five of the internet would be complete.

Taking quotes out of context to make them seem like hypocrisy is a pretty poor trick for winning an argument. One quote was talking specifically about this drama thread, and I was questioning why I was a douche bag in this specific situation. Anyway, If you can't find even one example of direct hypocrisy I'm going to have to dismiss your posts as run-of-the-mill band-wagoning as usual.

You judging me here also appears to be "passing judgement over the internet" so there's an example of hypocrisy for you. Do you see how this works?

Your profile says you're 18 - until you can put together a valid argument without using phrases like "e-snake" I'm going to assign you the average age of the forum users which is ~14.

Obviously Ephi lost.

Yeah, maybe if you're in the very middle of an argument. I typically don't start busting it out till the end, and they know they're winning an argument. I've never ever seen somebody start spewing it out in the middle of a serious argument.

(parts removed that i'm not going to address)

Just because somebody doesn't like you doesn't mean they're band-wagoning.

You know, I've seen plenty people of varying age use internet terms on the internet. Hell, my 44 year old mother occasionally says "facepalm", while I hear my 16 year old friend occasionally use words I've never heard of. Age has nothing to do with your vocabulary. You just want that feeling of superiority.

Can't we all just get along :u

It wasn't the fact that it's from the internet, it's the fact that people always throw the "e-snake" phrase around in arguments with me without actually explaining what they mean by it. It's just a poor attempt at forming an argument for the sake of arguing while not actually providing any substance.

DrMobius is also one of the many drama-whoring troglodytes of the forums so if he wants to weigh in on this thread I'm going to require him to put some effort into it instead of snowballing popular opinion, otherwise I'll just be dismissing all his posts.

He's saying you're egotistical.

So, what I'm getting from you turning the cold shoulder to him is that since he posts in this forum a lot, he has to put more-than-the-usual effort into his posts because of it. What?

Read some of this drama posts and threads first, you'll see the kind of effort he usually puts into this forum.

I was drawing a humorous comic of this topic but then I finished it, and realized it sucked.
