Likewise with everyone else I've Mumu'd with.
The opportunities have been there and I've yet to see them in any great number.
Also, childish slang for vagina in Germany.
I find that very hard to believe.
I find that arrogance and narrow-mindedness are the worst attributes to have for anyone striving for greater understanding of anything. Dantes has too much of both. Most posters here are comparatively open-minded and humble, which provides room for much greater personal development given some critical thinking.
I'm not sure how old Dantes is. Early 20s, I think? That's far too young to begin arriving at conclusions the way he does. He's defined his own limitations with those conclusions. Unless he gets rid of his attitude, he'll progress slowly or never at all.
Intelligence goes far beyond the bounds of knowledge or education, and is nebulous. Being stuck in one's ways and making narrow considerations, however eloquent expression might be, I find to be the strongest arguments against intelligence apart from blatant idiocy. I don't see a whole lot of idiocy here. Drama and silliness, yes, but not anything that would indicate that the membership are incapable of critical thinking or advanced considerations and learning.
One cannot just be intelligent. It requires upkeep, progress and application. And that's essentially what I see here -- we might be a bunch of silly drama hounds, but we have our passions and we apply them with an attitude that values the acquisition of knowledge and experience with requisite self-analysis.
So if he's arguing because he wants to argue, then cool. But if he's arguing because he actually thinks he's right about stuff and everyone else is wrong and he's the best arbiter of good taste in western animation, east Asian animation, shmups, JRPGs, and the like, then I facepalm.
Sometimes this sort of backtalk feels like baiting: the bro will come out of lurkitude to defend himself, with a high chance of making drama and thus being banhammered.
IJBM: the song "Dueling Banjos" involves using pointedly-mooded banjo playing to insult fellow banjo players, rather than actual Devil-Went-Down-To-Georgia-style dueling of musical virtuosity.
Noimporta,
Well, I don't really know what Mumu is, but I was talking about this place, in which there's a rule about importing drama that came to be because people wouldn't shut up about X person in TV Tropes/Something Awful/Random Forum Chagen visited.
Aye, I think there were some problems earlier about people complaining about specific tropers here at least. I mostly disliked that kind of thing because it tended to be pretty rude and made IJBM II seem like some kind of "treehouse" or club.
As for talking about people negatively behind their backs, I agree that people should be told why certain users were banned. Still, I feel bad about going on and on about someone's negative traits when I know that I have many negative traits of my own. I guess it is the implicit idea that the people remaining on IJBM II or some other site are better than those who were banned that bugs me. I might be looking at things a bit too idealistically though considering some of the rather objectionable things certain banned users have done.
Even so, I cannot see much good that can result from complaining about people who have already been banned.
But i can't honestly have much respect fort someone who engages in that level of self harm in order to try and gain sympathy from others.
Also, a blockhead at one time or another barely describes dantes.
Oh, and i'm batman and alex is wonder woman
/turns into a cat
Bugger nitya about it.
Are you playing with us.
Or is Vanilla.
But the point is that it's not private, as it is stored in a public chatroom log somewhere.
There, you now have the courage to ask cygan herself, cowardly lion.
Anyway, it was just dantes hilariously misaimed ttempt to appeal his ban to cygan via sympathy or something.
I don't think it was an addiction, though.
