Yes, bumping isn't wrong, it isn't bannable, but at the least bumping is good when the topic is worth it and you have something to input.Wasn't that insightful and enlightening? No, and you shouldn't bump if it's not with the intention of sparking more conversation because it clogs up the more recent posts from being seen. You've been here for a supposed 5 years or so. This isn't just for drama, it's for any board, it should be common sense that the reason why you have rights is to use them rightly.
An intelligible comment - I thank you for it.
However, I disagree with your statement for two reasons.
First, you assume that my intention was not to incite commentary in some form and draw attention to those topics.
It is both obvious and factual that I did so. Please do not presume to label anyone's actions with an intention (or lack thereof) here or anywhere else.
Second, I disagree with your statement about rights and the use of the latter.
Rights, though they are generally bordered by blurry lines, are what they are - Rights. You have the right here, assuming you are not violating the rules, to conduct yourself as you please.
You exercised a right by clicking on the topic and posting a reply.
You did not need to, and some would say it was not "right" but you did it regardless of the judgments others may have made.
it is not up to you or anyone to label an action as "right". There are rules in place, and if an action taken by any individual violates these rules, that is another matter entirely.
However, as I have neither violated a rule nor harmed you in any way, I would say it was foolish for you to busy yourself here. But again, it is not for me to say. Your right is what it is and I have no say on how you should use it. Please offer me the same respect.
Moving on to your second response -
I would like to point out that contradictive is not a word.
You had the right to use the correct word (contradictory) and you did not use it
rightly.
I did not say that I was dismissing the comment.
You may have a different ideal in your head as to the perfect self-defense.
I do not see defense as a means to an end - Rather, as a means for survival.
I am not here to end this, only to defend my actions, and my intentions.
I do not intend to solve a problem here.
I also have not stated that I do not care for any of the input from other users.
You've labeled me as apathetic towards others and, whatever else I may be - I do not have an attitude of apathy.
Now, if you see defense of oneself as a means to an end - End it here!
