To ban Half-dude or not to ban Half-dude that is the question

Hey all,

The time has finally come for resolution, for a turning of the tides. Now is the time to decide my fate. I promise that if you vote yes I will personally ask Lep to ban me from the site, but first lets think back to the start of all this.

I learn much of the other member's thoughts on this subject recently on the "post your real desktop" thread and I am willing to devote a thread just to resolving this once and for all. :redface:

I will share my side of the story and I expect you to share yours. When I first joined Snark-pit it was my first real?time I had ever joined an on-line community I was dancing with glee at the thought of sharing and helping others and learning more about this amazing program known as "Valve Hammer Editor." But then it started first the simple commenting on my spelling which was terrible at the time I admit but I am much better now ain't I? Anyway, after that it seemed as if every single thread I started ended up turning into a fight complaining about me in some way. People even went as far as to carry on a fight about my whole "Hi all it's me Half-dude" which I know now that some people liked. And then I remember people thinking up anything they could to get at me especially when I was into Kim Possible which I hate to even think of shivers. Then by the time I finally got it through to you that I have a learning disability only then did you lighten up but unfortunately the damage had already been done. I still think today that you shouldn't make fun of someone even when you DON'T know whats wrong with them, just pretend you don't notice.

So thats my side of the story, whats yours? Looking forward to the votes

all who know me must vote!

No, I refuse. All it will do is enforce the illusion you have of poor self.

It will also grant you more attention than you deserve.

---

There is no history until something happens, then there is.

what about an option for "is there any REASON to ban half-dude?", or even one for "no"

so you got a bit of hard time for the way you posted. you've been here a long time now, longer than most of the active members, so you know that ANYONE who comes here and doesn't put some effort into how they post, gets the exact same welcome that you got.

obviously what the people here think of you is important to you, which shows that you still respect the community, so stop trying to drive yourself away. show some of the enthusiasm that you had for making your mod, which is what got people on your side, and less despair at some asshole you'll never meet not liking you.

Don't be such an attention whore!

Jesus you're LITERALLY looking for a sympathy vote!

A complete waste of a thread. No wait, heres a picture of Suzy Dent from dictionary corner. Not an entire waste now...

Yeah this is a ploy to grab attention, and to gague how much people
hate/love you, I refuse to participate. What a waste of cyberspace.

Posting And You

I have been seriously considering running for president of the Half-Dude fan club myself. :heee:

Now, I'll be first to admit, this member receives an inordinate amount of tongue lashing but nothing on the level to warrant this.

Hell, I have already lost count of how many times someone has said something that I found offensive, no longer than I have been actively participating within the forums. I was offended no less than 3 time today alone.

Get a grip Half-Dude. I find you more insulting in this light, than anything childish you say about others. If I have a choice between the two, I prefer it when you talk s**t and force Mr. Reno to edit it out.

If you are only going to give us those two choices I pick that one.

Grant's Gazelle









Grant's gazelles resemble Thomson's gazelles, and the two species
are often seen together. They are similarly colored and marked, but
Grant's are noticeably larger than Thomson's and easily distinguished
by the broad white patch on the rump that extends upward, beyond the
tail and onto the back. The white patch on the Thomson's gazelle stops
at the tail. Some varieties of Grant's have a black stripe on each side
of the body like the Thomson's gazelle; in others the stripe is very
light or absent. A black stripe runs down the thigh.

Physical Characteristics

The various types of Grant's gazelle differ mainly in color and in
the size and shape of the horns. Grant's are large, pale, fawn-colored
gazelles with long legs. The males are larger and heavier and their
horns longer than the females.

The lyre-shaped horns are stout at the base, clearly ringed
and measuring from 18 to 32 inches long. The width of the spaces
between the horns and the angles of growth differ among the various
types of Grant's gazelles. One type, in northwest Tanzania, has widely
diverging horns, with the tips directed downwards.

On the females black skin surrounds the teats, with white hair
on the udder. This probably helps the young recognize the source of
milk. When a fawn is older and moving about with its mother, the dark
stripe on the white background may serve as a beacon for it to follow.

Habitat

Grant's gazelles are especially fond of open grass plains, and
although they frequent bushy savannas, they avoid areas of high grass.

Behaviour

Grant's gazelles may remain in areas where food is plentiful.
Mature males establish territories they may hold as long as eight
months. A male tries to detain the female herds of 10 to 25 individuals
as they pass through these territories while they move about to feed.
At the same time males chase off rival males and try to mate with
females in estrus.

Grant's gazelles have developed several ritualized postures.
For example, the territorial male stretches and squats in an
exaggerated manner while urinating and dropping dung. This apparently
warns other males to stay away and reduces the number of
confrontations. Younger males will fight, but as they grow older the
ritualized displays often take the place of fights. When fighting does
occur, it also is ritualized. It starts with "pretend" grooming,
repeated scratching of the neck and forehead with a hind foot and
presenting side views of the body. If neither combatant is intimidated,
they may confront one another and clash horns, trying to throw the
other off-balance.

Diet

The gazelles vary their diet according to the season. They eat
herbs, foliage from shrubs, short grasses and shoots. Grant's gazelles
are not restricted to certain habitats by a dependency on water, but
obtain the moisture they need from their food. Grant's have unusually
large salivary glands, possibly an adaptation for secreting fluid to
cope with a relatively dry diet. They typically remain in the open
during the heat of the day, suggesting an efficient system to retain
the necessary fluid in their bodies.

Caring for the Young

Breeding is seasonal, but not firmly fixed. Gestation is
approximately 7 months, and the young are born in areas that provide
some cover. The newborn fawn is carefully cleaned by the mother who
eats the afterbirth. Once the fawn can stand up and has been suckled,
it seeks a suitable hiding place. The mother watches carefully and
evidently memorizes the position before moving away to graze. She
returns to the fawn three to four times during the day to suckle it and
clean the area. The lying-out period is quite long-two weeks or more.

The fawn eats its first solid food at about 1 month, but is
nursed for 6 months. Grant's become sexually mature at about 18 months.
By that time the young males will have joined an all-male bachelor
herd, but it will be some time before they become territory holders, if
at all. Males from the bachelor herds challenge the territorial males,
but only the strongest win territories, which they mark with combined
deposits of dung and urine.

Predators

All the major predators kill Grant's gazelle, but cheetahs and
African hunting dogs are the most prevalent. In some areas jackals prey
on the young. Because of its adaptation to semi-arid and subdesert
ranges as well as its good meat and valuable skin, Grant's gazelle has
been one of the species that scientists consider as a potential source
of protein for humans.

Payback time. 1.4 megs of totally useless information.

[edit] Well the question that I have always wanted to ask has now been answered. There is an upper limit on how much text you can post in a single reply. Apparently it is a bit less than 1 million bits. :heee:

OMG you people really are ass holes. I go here and try to apologize for something I shouldn't even have to and then you guys are like this. I'm going to start listening to what my friend warns me about you. Well you know what f**k you, f**k all of you! The only exception will be Underdog who happens to be the only one here who has a soul. So why don't you just go french kiss your Reno Ass holes.

Okay, Half-dude. Here's the thing:

• I'm not going to vote because this is patently ridiculous. It's worse than sending a note across the classroom in the form of a paper airplane that says "will you go out with me, check "yes" or "no" and send it back! PS I love you!" Why do you keep doing this?
• The only times i've seen you get ripped have been because you post things like: "you all are a bunch of f*cking snobs" and the like. That is the only time i've ever seen someone bash you. When ReNo takes off your nasty comments, you get mad at him, what in the wirld is that about?
• You need to put more efforts into your posts. Use things like periods, commas, and capital letters. In this community, things like grammar and spelling are important. Plus we all share a special kind of relationship: one where we say mean things to one another but we don't really mean them, and mostly everyone can take a joke and not be a smacktard about it.

Here are some lessons that will help you on your way to successful posting:

Thank you

OMG I hate you.

Half-dude, I don't know why you're so upset about this. So what if someone doesn't like you. That is no reason for leaving someplace. By going away in anger, you only let them win.

Instead, it's up to you to take the high road and stick it out. Let them know that they are not going to drive you away.

Stick around awhile, and ignore them if they bother you.

:smile:

To be perfectly honest, I will not miss you if you indeed go.

I'm not sure what you're trying to prove by going "Oh yeah? Look what I just sent Lep omgrofllolfagokthxbi"

You hate everyone, so as a final F you you're going to try and get
banned? Doesn't make any sense pal, if you want to stay,
fine. But don't do the stupid crap you've done lately.

Seriously, dude, just ignore them. Once you start, it will be easy for you. Like what french toast just said? Forget about it! Why should you care what he says? he's Canadian. :biggrin:

Anyway, just hang in there. Think about all the times you have gotten good advice and nice maps from here. Do you really want to leave the best online community on the planet?

Every time something happens that gives me additional cause to hate humanity I add another room to my Half-Life level.

half-dude, i don't think you realise just how many people have tried to help you here. and they would still try to help if you stopped the threads like this, and went back to asking editing questions.

as for people that don't like you/understand you, well, life is like that for everyone, so running away will only take you to somewhere else that's just the same.

---

So the point of this thread is......huh?

You ask us if we want you around, and then when people say no you get all pissed off? If you didn't want to hear the truth, why bother asking the question in the first place?

If I were a moderator, I would have done exactly the same as ReNo so don't put the blame on him. It's all you mate.

If this is how you react to people on the internet (that you've never met), I dread to think what you are like in real-life when someone gives you negative feedback about something...

Now, errr.... I HAYTE YOU ALLL U BIG BUNCH OF NASSTY PEEPLE! I HOPE U ALLL DIE...EXCEP HALFF_DDUUUUDE COS UI WUV HIM! :wink:

Why should you care what he says? He's Canadian :biggrin:

Man, you don't know how many times that's been said about me on various forums :biggrin:

I think he should have left #6 open. "vote here only if you are curious to see the voting results"

Personally I have more important things to think about now than H-D. My toilet paper roll is on its spindle backward again and its driving me nuts.

Are you STILL here. If you hate it so much then go. Otherwise stop being such a prepubescent s**t stirrer.

Thats allright, there is little to understand regarding my name.

Spool. You were banned for TWHL for continuously s**tting on the forums
and spamming accounts. So you really have no right to say "ooh ban him". Stop s**t stirring.

I don't see what the big deal is, for one I told the people on the "post your real desktop" thread so if you thought it was stupid then you should have said so. So it all comes down to this, there are good people around here like Underdog and Nickelplate. But there are people on here that I don't get at all like omegaslayer and others but not to say that I'm good either. But I defiantly feel like the victim here.

Half-Dude, do what the f**k ever you like. Noone was unfair to you and
everyone else has recieved the same treatment as you once had. If you
feel you can't handle this, leave. Personally, I don't give a damn
either way.

Let's act like "it" never happened because, whatever this "it" is, "it" never did happen!

I actually missed that rather serious insult earlier, and I must

You're not alone. I agree. Please stay Half-dude. If it weren't for you
this hilarious thread wouldn't exist. And this isn't the first time
you've posted something amazingly funny.



looks at post above

That picture was actually quite hilarious before Mephs went to work on it.

Seriously though, I can't see why you suddenly out of nowhere attacked
everyone in the desktop thread. I know perhaps some were a little harch
on you, but that was, like Yak pointed out, a long time ago. No point
in starting to tell the whole world to f*** of now.

[edit] the doggy humping image is a bit OTT. I thought there was a rule that you could NOT edit someones gallery image without consent.

Mr. Reno, can you edit out the image please.

Yeah the pic was OTT, it was more of an IRC joke anyhow. I won't lose
any sleep over it, but I didn't see Underdog posting "please reno edit

I note that the purpose of this contrived im-just-a-poor-boy-nobody-loves-me thread succeed:

He is the victim, anyone who doesn't apologise and forgive him (i never
even read the desktop thread posts) are bullies and thanks to the
courageous hero gotham is safe once again.

Mephs. Are you deliberately placing yourself on a level with H-D?

I was not under the impression that you were quite as disturbed as he and as such that his comments needed editing as well. I have however noticed that Mr. Reno deleted some postings, albeit, prior to my viewing them so I am almost positive that the editing process does not single YOU out in any way.

I apologize if I insulted you and will strive next time to observe the warning signs and have any offensive written material edited by H-D.

I am sad to think that you would take anything H-D says seriously enough to compare your action to his.

My deepest apologies.

[edit]

I swear, this is the funniest thing I have seen in months. With permission, I would like to keep it for my collection. May I?

I must confess I agree completely. I however also noticed that in his angst, he omitted the part at the bottom where the audience to all this is or would be drawn. I also notice that his prostrate form is not fully flattened. His rump end is in a receptive position. Perhaps he feels a bit like he is being screwed in all this and wants to illustrate it graphically.

I would have been more convinced had he been fully prone.
