Hey Gung_Ho, i like you, your a real borderline something. see, sticking borderline in front of words for ****s and giggles is actually the best thing ever. Heres to you!
You seem to be lacking a sense of humor, the joke in spectres post is the way we conduct ourselves on the forums, your fly on the wall criticism of the forums is pretty much summed up in his thread, the reason we posted on it was that he actually did it subtly and therefore, humorously, but dont worry, when you become slightly amusing i will borderline tell you (that damn word again eigh?).
I cant really speak for the game forums, i stear clear of them because i dont really care about what is the best ship, the best trade route, the best clan, the best tactic. I fly, trade, shoot and dodge to whatever tune i please, i play the game when i want to, how i want to and do so for the purposes of fun and nothing else. j3rkoffs in there going on about their skills annoy me as much as it appears it annoys you, so thats why everyone kinda gives them meatheads a wide berth.
Why do forum regs come here? well because theyre regs. wouldnt really be a reg if you didnt now would you? People come here to piss in the wind and take the piss out of jumpstart canadians who take themselves FAR to seriously and think the internet is for the casual observers. Were geeks who like to talk about physics, red dwarf, computer parts, fave (this that and the other) and discuss topics of current issues. We enjoy arguing, insulting, discussing, joking and sharing and we keep coming back because its rare to find a web forum where you can do so without dickheads coming on and ribbing us about it.
Quick borderline quiestion: "but they haven't fired a blinkin' gun in the past 3 months"
What the **** is all this about? i fail to see what the hell this has to do with anything. I can tell you without quivication that i havent fired a blinkin' gun for at least 20 years. I fail to see the connection with firearms and posting on the forums, and we dont HAVE bio's what the hell are you on about?
In short. I may not agree with your opinion, but im glad we post in a forum where its taken on board and ridiculed.

The General Gripes Thread
This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.
there are plenty of other gripes we can dedicate our lives to. Let's move on to the next gripe, shall we?

...ative 
OK you want a gripe??
I am stinkin' sick of one of my chiefs. All he does is Bossing everybody around. Even after a hard days work he still wants me to go pick a few cabinets (heavy oak), he actually tried to smack me in the face after I refused to step up a ladder because I have a little fear of hights, The bag twitted twerp actually grapped me on the arm and tried to drag me there, I withheld myself because of 2 reasons: 1> I was too tired to make a fuss out of it, 2> the guy is 60
I did turn his arm on his back, and Gave him "kind" advice not to go physical anymore, he sodded of after that, to the Grand Chief of course, little geriatric twit that he is, which came to me after that. I told him the story on the most eased tone I could do, which was still pretty Hot-tempered, And he gave me right fortunately, he has never touched me ever since, Thank whoever for that.

y'see i could never do that. i have a severe problem with authority, especially when the person barking orders doesnt have my respect. If i like the guy and respect them, i will do it, but it gets me that someone just assumes they have it. Teachers were a classic example, there were teachers i would obey, and teachers who i would look at and think "you ****ing muppet, im not doing that for you"
If some boss of mine who i didnt really like started pissing me off to the point of physically moving me around, i would just turn to them and swear offensively until burly security men removed me from the premesis. Ive no time for people in charge.

Oh gawd, i used to get annoying little turds like that all the time at work at a newsagent. Fortunately my boss trusted my judgement and I was free to tell some of them to f*** off. We used to have nicknames for some of them. There was "Superman" who would be in the shop everyday by 6.30am and if he couldn't get his paper immediately he'd start panicking, or poking me while I was busy sorting out a paper round for one of the boys, or sometimes he would root through the paper round piles and screw everything up.
Then there was Rolls-Royce man who came in once complaining about a misdelivered paper, I acted all polite and handed him a copy. He then asked for the delivery charge back! I couldn't believe this tosser, he revved his engine on his Rolls as he parked to make sure everyone saw him and when he comes in he plonks his keys with the Rolls keyring on it, on the counter, to make sure I saw it, he's got a bunch of sovereign rings on his hands and now he's asking for a 15p refund?! I gave him it but I also added a quid onto next weeks delivery charges.
There was one guy who got so snooty he reckoned that he could get the bosses nephew fired because he wouldn't serve him while the door was being fixed due to a break in!
Then there's the customers who reckon anyone working in a newsagent is inherently thick, they slowly "help" you to add together their items, i normally tell them the exact price without touching the till the moment they start doing that and it shuts em up!
Then there were the yob kids who'd try and steal things and when i first started tried to threaten me.
i'm so glad I've since quit, it was great fun telling some of the customers where they could go stick their bloody missing supplements!

I am the signature virus! Copy me into your signature so that I can take over the world! Moohahahee!

Loc - You watch it, or I'll kick your ass-imilate!
Alright, I have one; shaving! I am getting SO sick of shaving with conventional razors! I go out and buy some good ones, and they are fine, but when you want to get some more blades, they cost twice as much as the razor itself! So you go and pay for a whole new razor with two blades, and have the same problem all over again! The electric ones are fine, however three replacement blades on my mains-power shaver cost more than the entire unit! It's a conspiracy, a conspiracy I tell you!
