Also your signature is really crappy. Grounds enough to be asked to leave or forum.
What? "Wacked"? Just because it doesn't agree with the majority or it's not [sometimes]in a grammatical structure that's easy to understand?

As for "frustration", what I meant is that when I'm not "shining" or"loving" and just totally random and unpredictable, it's that I want to say something but it can't be said. This applies in political threads, music threads, threads where an unpopular opinion would get flamed or banned [hip hop is trash, ban gay marriage, etc]

I could care less who you are or whether you spend day or night laboring this site, but what doesn't have a place here is a moderator dissing somebody just because they don't like them. No one is cursing, or posting pictures of 7 year olds having sex with donkeys, or even linking to mp3's or doing something "illegal", someone is just being different...

No wonder kids come crying from school with bullies and whatnot all the time, it even happens on the Internet, where more than 50% of people are outcasts and freaks.

That's what I mean. These inside jokes that DVDtalk have are just as random as my posts, and to outsiders or lurkers, they make as little sense as my posts. I feel bad because I am constantly flamed for it, but one little whine about everyone else and it's instant bannage or complaints from some high up mod...

There's a serious side to me, but online I can unwind. Why I can't do it on a board which I've enjoyed for the past two years, is far beyond me.

Areku --

1) If you go into any circle of friends, they will have a history and a lot of inside jokes that will make no sense as an outsider. If you hang around long enough and pay attention, after a while everything becomes clear. (You can also ask what a reference means if you want, preferably in an e-mail to long-time Otter.)

2) If you want to be treated seriously, post seriously. No more of this "shining love" crap, no more melodramatic meanderings, no more <3 <3 <3.

However... frankly we have enough "serious posters". I like the fact that your posts are kind of wacked. It makes you stand out. I say, use your own style and your own language, but stay on topic and join in the fun.

3) This is not a public forum. It is a private forum. More specifically, it is Geoff's forum. If the owner of a site recommends that you change your signature, you better damn_well do it and fast. Hell, if Geoff bans the use of the "heart" symbol, well, if you want to keep posting here, you'll stop using that symbol. Simple as that. He is the King, and he makes the rules. Intentionally antagonizing him is never, ever a good idea.

Food for thought.

I think some folks post with a certain style. Much like it is difficult to read in to someone sarcasim off a monitor, How many of you thought Groucho was a prick the first time you read one of his response? Yet after sometime you come to realize that groucho infact post like that and it is very funny. SARARARKAURARARA is I believe the same. he has a weird style to him. I find it funny as all hell, but that's just me. by the way NCnoobjo, lurk more mr. know-it-all.

Sararakuakararar, the inside jokes would make sense to lurkers or others who might have seen them in topics. You realize why people say Moran instead of moron by simply keeping up with what the forum's flow is. It's all cliches that eventually get old and are replaced by new ones. Just have to let them run there course I suppose. Don't get banned now, you're a funny cat.

I refuse to listen to someone with a inability to place apostrophe's correctly in their name.
