Hey, we can change our names??
The answer to the question is no, we can't. I've been asking for a name change for ages now. I didn't just wake up one day and decide I wanted a different name.

Normally under these circumstances, Abe Babe would refuse my request, but since I've been here so long, made tons of new smilies for the forum, and have been asking for ages, she allowed me the name change.

Please understand that my circumstances are unique. The mere fact that I had a name change does not entitle you to a name change. The sad reality of it is that if we all keep changing our names, then nobody will know who anybody around here is. Since you are one of the less well-known posters around here (no offense) changing your name would cause a lot of confusion.

I would not so much like a name change, more like a name EDIT. I wish it I made the S capitalised.

Hey! Hey! Cock... I mean Codeck!

Can you get down off your high horse? Yeah... I'm getting a crick in the neck shouting at you!

Nate is not a lesser known poster... I certainly know who he is!!!! Thats a rather sweeping statement... a real indicator of how you see yourself within a social order ie ABOVE EVERYONE ELSE!

Not impressed...

I don't see myself above anyone else. I see myself on the level with the regular posters and older members. And I certainly do not appreciate being told to get down off my high horse by a newbie like yourself. In fact, I'd say you should get the hell down off your high horse pretty damn quick.

I also do not appreciate you flaming on Nate's behalf. If Nate has any particular problems with anything I have said, then he can let me know about them. And if he does then I certainly hope he expresses them in a more mature manner than you have. So far, he hasn't expressed any concerns, and I think that is reasonable enough. Starting an argument as you have and forcing Nate into the middle of it by including him in a flame-war without asking his permission is far more thoughtless than anything I've said about him.

Lately CB, you've been imposing, patronising, and imperialistic. It's not being appreciated by anybody, and I think I can safely speak for all our regular users here when I say that you should tone it down a LOT.

Nate, like it or not, is a newer poster, although he has been a member for a while. And correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm sure he had a period where he didn't post here for a considerably long time. As far as I know, he has only been posting since a few months ago. Therefore, he is not as "notorious" as the other posters on this forum.

Really?

Then don't post a personality that begs to differ... if you dn't want people to think you're a self loving highly opinionated... choose prefered adjective for stupidity... re-read and edit!

Hey... I may be a newbie but I know right from wrong... I could have just reported you... but no I'd rather warn you myself then involve our Teenage Stalin!

A "flame war?" What the f**k is a "flame war?" Ooooh!... you mean someone disagreeing with your righteousness my Lord!

Bulls*te! You guys need to get out more in the "real forum world" Nate hasn't been forced into anything... I...yes ME... not Nate is disagreeing with your tone and content.

I say what I see and I always point out what I see as posting that could cause offence and my reaction to your posting is hardly a shock after your responses to mine of late!

:

Again with the over genralisation! you can't speak for all regular users... anyhoo my behaviour is due to my treatment which you Death... sorry "Codeck" and DI started by having a go at me for sadly being unable to upload my photo and not ofereing any useful help when it was requested.. I will always match agression with agression... you've brought this on yourself... now deal with the consequences!

As may be the case but your original post was worded agressively and arrogantly...

If anything I have had to retaliate to some very very agressive posts in the last week or so... I post like with like... if you "flame" (What ever that is LOL!) me Ill flame you.

ClaireBear, none of this matters because Nate doesn't care. He's not bothered about what I said, because what I said is simply the truth. He isn't the most well known poster, he is a lesser known poster. Probably under-appreciated as I quite enjoy reading his posts. If for some, fucking odd reason you have a problem with that, then just keep it to yourself.

You're going off on tangents, big ones. You're saying that this arguing is because of something that happened in a completely different thread. There is no point in tallying it all up like that. You can't just have a tantrum now and act like it's justified response because of something I said last week.

In any case, you are not in a position to make a comment here. Don't think the fact that we tolerate your loud-mouthed antics means you can get away with anything.

I mean't no harm to Nate, and no amount of arguing, insulting, flaming and cursing on your part will change that or expose any form of underlying intentions. My intentions were to point out, firmly and clearly, that changing your name is NOT the new trend. I explained to Nate in frank terms that he is probably not the best person to have a name change. That is all I did, and anything beyond that is just a fabrication of your over-active imagination.

I cannot argue this case continually. You are fighting somewhat of a misnomer with this argument, in that what you are accusing me of is something that, if you were in Nates shoes, would've been taken as offensive, even though that is not how it was intended.

You seem reluctant to accept that it was not intended to offend, and this is an exhibition of typical CB behaviour - The "I don't want to accept that because it would mean ending this argument". Flamer and troll behaviour. You enjoy arguments far too much for your own good.

No! I hate arguements... if I had a web cam linked up to you... you'd see I'm fighting back tears.

I'm not a troll of a "flamer" (What the hell is flaming!) I just won't let a bunch of people who've never seen me... who don't really know me... shout me down or insult me. I get enough of that sh*t in real life.. now kindly leave me alone before I do something I live to regret.

Okay, you are going through this little debate trying to make Death... Umm... Codek look stupid by implying he is the only one who uses the term 'flaming', when in reality you are making yourself look the fool as this is a very commonly used term on message boards throughout the internet.
That's my part.
Carry on.

Hey Facsimile there's this thing (its really rather illusive to many obviously including you!) its called... A LIFE!

You know... there's sky and trees and animals and friends and family and pubs and clubs and gyms and cinemas... and guess what?

Yup... no computers or forums or internet... its all real! Weird huh!?

Some people have a life and so don't know every gaming/forum/internet term known to man!!! Strange isn't it?

Pretending you have no idea what the word "flamer" means does not suggest you have a life, if that is what you were trying to suggest by it. Most people would've put two and two together and realised that a "flamer" is someone who argues strongly with a lot of cursing and character attacks.

But what really gives it away is the fact that you could've looked up the word on dictionary.com, wikipedia, google, or any other net slang website, and probably find out what it means in a matter of minutes. But for the purposes of this argument, you apparantly didn't. Well done you.

EDIT: Hmm, this is going a bit off track. I think it would be fair to ask that a moderator close this thread now, as it has served its purpose.

I seriously didn't know what it meant... so shoot me! I figured it meant something along those lines... but character assassination... purlease!

The only person here getting really personal is you.

Just look at yourself... constantly chipping away at whats dead and buried... sheesh... since you've become Codek you've become a real... a real... a real... I can't be bothered to insult you, nay to tell you the truth.

Why would I? As someone who doesn't know the term I am obviously not exactly computer or internet savvy am I? I can't even edit or upload pictures... it never occurs to me to google anything! It wasn't in the real dictionary I used though.

Just leave me alone.

I called you bonkers and you took it as an opportunity to spring me with truce. Uh, how about, no?

Errr... If I'd known how much trouble my request would cause I never would have asked.

In defence of Codek, yes I'm not the number 1 poster, though I haven't been too bad in the last few months.

In defence of CB, you were being a bit presumptuous codek saying that I didn't mind because I hadn't responded. Not everyone can spend all day every day online checking the forums. And yes, I did step out of the forums for a while but then so did you.

In defence of myself, I was not the only person other than codek to request a name change. And I really think that codek had no right to give any response as he's not a mod. AbeBabe & co can give me any answer they want and I'll accept it happily.

I was presuming you didn't care because I wanted CB to realise that she is arguing for you when she doesn't even know whether you have a problem with it or not. The idea was to shut her up but it didn't work. I don't expect you to be checking the forums all the time.

The reason that I felt I had the right to respond to your request for a name change, is because I was told that if I had my name changed, then I would be in danger of setting off a trend of name changing. Or at least requesting name changing. This would've led to a lot of people being turned down, and a lot of questions about why I got a name change and they didn't. I felt that I was the only person who should be taking a reasonably active step toward preventing that happening, since I am responsible for it starting.

You are right, I am not a moderator, but I am well aware of the situation. If people start getting the wrong ideas about my name change, then the moderators may have all sorts of problems on their hands, and I may end up with my name being changed back to Death. I hope you understand that I was merely protecting myself and the moderators by cautioning you like I did.

Although what I said wasn't exactly "nice", it had to be said. You need to understand that. I'd rather sacrafice my time to a small disagreement now and avoid a whole big disagreement over name changes later on. It saves a lot of grief in the long run.

CB, you've really reached a new low in this topic. What little respect I did have for you is gone now. I'm still in disgust at some of the things you said. Wowza.

Death...er...Codek, I commend you for how well you reacted to all this. You carried it all through in a very mature manner and kept your head, I am very proud of you. Definitely took the high road here, and for that I respect you very much. Kisses.
