When some random person comes running up to you and inspects you without asking does it annoy you?

Am I wrong to believe that this is the real life equivalent of chasing somebody down in the middle of the street and nearly turning their shirt inside-out to see what brand of clothing they are wearing?

Why is this always accompanied by "link ur weapons plz" or some inane demand like that?

Old discussion.. and I still hate it... Totally rude imo

Guess I missed out on any old topics there may have been. :)

doesnt bother me at all

i dont see how it has any bearing on anything

what if you never got the message that people were inspecting you?

you would never know. so you could never care.


if they are inspecting just to spam chat window with messages, sure thats annoying.. otherwise i dont see how it has an impact on anything else

I don't see why it bothers anyone. Who cares if someone wants to look at your gear?

It used to piss me off, I found it rude.
Now I don't care.

What Halo said.

Kad

wouldn't having a magelo be a bit hypocritical then? sounds like you are bitching to bitch.

One time Dashmoo told me and Fenanin it was like someone was violating her cyber-privacy like if they were going through her purse IRL. I think I spammed the group chat with NERD!

I leave inspect on, so when I am looking around and click on people, I get to listen to them get all pissy.

Well a Magelo profile is a useful tool for guildmembers and officers to know more about how their guildmates are equiped so they can work out drop assignments and whatnot and is entirely out of character. I love the Magelo profile much more for being able to look at flags, tradeskills, and AAs than for any kind of equipment it shows me.

If some dude came up to me on the street and stuck his hand down my pants to look at the tag on my boxers to see if they're Joe Boxers I'd beat his ass. I don't see how it is any different if someone runs up to you and inspects you in EQ. If I were on a PvP server I'd give them a good jab with a knife for it. :/

I never EVER say no if someone asks me, but if they don't then I hide and sneak out of their range because its ultra-rude.

Well a Magelo profile is a useful tool for guildmembers and officers to know more about how their guildmates are equiped so they can work out drop assignments and whatnot and is entirely out of character. I love the Magelo profile much more for being able to look at flags, tradeskills, and AAs than for any kind of equipment it shows me.It's so useful for guildmembers and officers that I slap it on every message I post, even ones where I complain about people looking at my stuff.

The EverQuest game engine allows you to look at other people's stuff. Get over it, turn off the message, or play another game. You don't have many other choices.

I don't care as long as they don't ask me for stuff. I don't see why people get so worked up about inspection. Lighten up.

Having a link to a magelo profile in a message board signiture is something that 90% of the people here do. Message boards are out of character forums where PLAYERS chat. Its not like some character is running up to me and sticking their hand down my pants to see what kind of boxers I wear. Its different.

Now if you're done being a sarcastic troll, I'm wondering if your post had an actual point in it?

People are only able to see my Magelo profile because I post it and I post it because I don't mind people looking at it. If someone in game asked me if they could inspect me, sure. Thats fine. Otherwise it wasn't something that I wanted them to do.

I think his point was that you are being hyper sensitive about something that's completely rediculous. For instance, he is not reaching down your pants looking at a label, he's clicking a mouse button in a game, god forbid. Get over it.

E-Karrma calling Palimax a troll?

Right...

See, you guys are acting like this is something that I take personally and makes me mad. Being inspected doesn't piss me off or anything. I just think its rude, so stop attacking me.

Christ.

I was always proud of the things I earned for my character. I never cared if people inspected me.

I don't see how inspecting could be considered rude... it's a function of the game. Its as rude as sending someone a tell or using the /wave emote.

"Its the same as running up to someone on the street and bla bla bla..."

I've heard that a million times, and every time I hear it it makes me laugh. If by inspecting your character I could see personal information about you, THEN maybe it would be the same. You act like your personal privacy is being invaded. Its not. Your character is pixels, on a server probably 2000 miles away from where you really live. Its not you, and besides that, it hurts nothing. If you don't like seeing the message, turn it off.

Sheesh... I'd hate to see you people who are bothered by inspecting on a REAL issue, like Carnivore.

Actually... I should have worded it "Your character is data on a server... 1's and 0's". Pixels would be referring the the actual displaying of the image of your character on the screen.

Its 1's and 0's, true. Maybe I'm just the sort of person that believes that some real life etiquette should apply to characters in EverQuest as well... meaning you don't just run up to someone and check out what they're wearing. Its... well... weird. :)

I mean, if I ran up to you on the street and was like "Hey, fuck you!" that would be rude. Saying "Hey, fuck you!" in EverQuest isn't any less rude just because its 1's and 0's, right?

I think the point isn't whether or not you're being inspected. It's that people are hoping that others will have the common courtesy to ask if they may inspect your gear. This becomes a matter of manners and overall if that's what you are hoping for in game it ain't gonna happen.

Yes it's a common courtesy to ask someone before looking at their gear.

No it's not a requirement to see someone's gear.

And bottom line is it's not worth getting pissed off over but if it does bother you make a note of that person's name and put them on you're "No help for joo" list

I have two of those.....

"No help for joo once" and "No help for joo ever"

Just my 2 copper worth

Alfax

dunno about common courtesy

i always figured it was simply another feature of everquest

i guess if you expect people to ask first, its your own problem

most people dont ask first, and it has no impact on anything but your chat window, so why get worked up over it

but, again... thats just my opinion

I could careless. Doesnt affect me in any way besides a line in the chat window.

I got inspected a couple times when I was running around with my little fire elemental pet. Someone's like, "wait, if you're a mage, how the fuck do you have the wizard epic?"

First time ever got to say, "l337 h4x." 8(

But yeah, honestly Karm, if you think it's rude you should really take your magelo out of your sig because the CB board has everyone's mag linked to their name on the members list for member/officer use.

Besides, your gear doesn't suck ~that~ bad.

My gear is about 2 years out of date. At this point its more of an honor, like when you are 30 years old and someone at the counter selling you beer still feels you are young enough looking to be carded. It could be an annoyance, but its all good.

Now if I was getting inspected every minute, well that would get old. Perhaps its time to go /anon and color your armor some generic color, like black or silver so it doesn't look like anything special. People are going to look at that guild tag first off and if you are from some extremely advanced crew, expect to be bothered alot. Price of fame, right?

Being inspected is like looking closely to what someone is wearing while walking down the street or mall. I will have to admit to having to look for a long time occasionally to read some t-shirts.

The only time I feel offended being inspected is when a beg for something accompanies the inspect. The auto-inspect feature is on or off. There is no easy way to make the inspect a command to be entered that I know of.

I am actually more disappointed when people are /anon or /role, but that is something that I also understand for the higher level chanters, druids, wizards, shamen and clerics because of the unsolicited requests for clarity, ports, SoW, and rezes. I have also had higher levels inspect my characters and then, on their own, bestowed some better equipment on me.

For the most part I think that players are good. There are a few bad people playing but they are like all other parts of our lives. I will often do run by buffing when I am in a position to help, but I will usually ignore "Buffs plz" or "can I have some money". I have to agree with some of the other people that a well formed and politely asked question will get more from me than the demands and rude begging.

Canizi

Why not just turn the inspect message off? That way you don't really know when someone is inspecting you.

I don't think I have had my inspect message on since not too long after I started playing eq and found it could be turned off. Sure there are times when I can tell people are inspecting me just from them running up to me stoping for a few seconds and then proceeding to ask me to link my weapon, item, etc. It really doesn't bother me though unless they start bugging me to give them stuff.

Carnivore does freak me out. A lot.

As to inspecting, it's a social issue to me. At least say hi...last I checked it was a social game, it's kinda odd when someone runs up and inspects you without saying a word. No, it doesn't affect me personally if they don't ask first, but it's so darned easy and such a common issue, would it really be that hard to do? Or to at least say hi, bow, or wave?

It's like all the groups I join these days where everyone just sits and kills silently, without a word, then complains about how boring the game is. What ever happened to speaking to other players?

jesus, inspecting someone with out asking is rude? i forgot to read that in the memo

i'll be damn proud for anyone to inspect me, and ask for links, as long as its not all my equipment, when asking for links i would like to receive some curtesy as it does take SOME of my time

i still like it when you inspect someone and they move away thinking it'll do something =(

Karrma, Palimax had a point... Your complaining about someone looking at your equipment... Nothing else, if theres a problem with that it makes no sence that you have a Magelo profile linked on these forums, yes 90% of the people here do it, but the rest of them wouldn't go whining about it either, only you did... Casus Belli people post here, but this isn't the first place they would look to find your magelo profile im sure.

Being inspected is like looking closely to what someone is wearing while walking down the street or mall. I will have to admit to having to look for a long time occasionally to read some t-shirts.

No it's not, inspecting someone in a game is nothing like pulling someones pants down see what kind of underwear they use. Get a grip, its a game...

Yeah, some of you people are really tightly wound.

I mean, its not like EQ is a roleplaying game. =\

its like looking under my panties OMG! and if i take off all my equipment my character is still dressed, wtf?! i wanna see boobies!

chasing someone down and turning their shirt inside out is different because each clothing brand has its own thing EQ doesnt offer that specially with color dyes now you dont know whats what so it forces you to inspect. Should be happy to be who you are and what you have if you want to compare this to a RL life style. Dont be afraid to show off a little when people take interest in how you dress and what you equip yourself with. Just my opinion of course :)

This is so fucking stupid.

I feel so FUCKING violated when people inspect me. In game and in real life.

When people look at me I'm like "RAAAAPPPEE!" then I spray them with my mace.

<NAG limit break - Sure I'm USUALLY polite, but come on.>
**look away if you don't want to be offended**

What the hell is all this crap?

I asked "How do THE REST OF YOU feel about this?" and everyone begins turning this into a personal attack of sorts. So the fuck what if I want to have my fucking Magelo in my fucking sig? MY FUCKING BUSINESS TO DO SO. Trying to have a discussion is fucking impossible with you people. I don't put it in my sig so that people in guilds I may be in can see my Magelo, I KNOW they don't have to look hard for it. Its just something that is done as a courtesy for ANYBODY who wants to take a look. Its out of character.

If someone wants to look around in random Magelos to see who is flagged for what and send emails around asking "Hey, can you help me with such and such raid?" then this will help them.

That is just ONE example of the multiple uses for having a Magelo posted in your sig. So back the FUCK off.

Don't fucking bitch about MY OPINION on this you whiney pussies, have a little substance to back up how YOU feel about it since this topic is about YOU, NOT ME. Do you have nothing better to do than sit on your asses and point a finger screamin, "u r teh hypocrite!!1" Because they're two different fucking things. It doesn't BOTHER ME if someone wants to look at my equipment but its rude to just run up to someone and start rummaging through their shit in real life AND online.

</NAG limit break>

P.S. "OH MY GOD! He exhibits free thought! We the slaves of Sony Online Entertainment must obey our masters and CRUSH the free thought out of him!"

Fuck you. ™

You know whats really fucking stupid, MarzMartini? I actually thought that people could have a civil conversation in the NAG forum about something. :/

i could care less. if it annoys you turn inspect messages off and it magically won't annoy you anymore.

I inspect a lot of the people I group with.. especially if they're melee's. I never ask. :( Nobody has ever complained about it since like Dreadlands.

If I have a rogue in my group I wanna know what he's stabbing with, or if I have a monk in my group I want to know what he's whacking with.. For aggro reasons because I'm a warrior and also to guess what kinda damage we're gonna parse. I ask for links sometimes too if I've never heard of it or don't remember it.

It only bothers me when they follow up with the question, "How did you get to lvl 55 with such shitty gear?" and then they try to sell you something.

Its just something that is done as a courtesy for ANYBODY who wants to take a look

and so was the ability to inspect someone

What EXACTLY is your problem with someone inspecting you? Is it the spam you get? Turn off the message.... is it the fact that they can look at your equipment? That insecure with your newb equipment? ... Or are you just to good for everyone else... I dont see what exactly your problem is, and your whining in the first place is what got you all the damn attention. I dont see anyone on this thread except for you with a problem, and I dont see anyone on this thread except for you spouting such an agressive, profane rant.

oh, and just because i wasn't as rude as you were in your post...

<NAG limit break - Sure I'm USUALLY polite, but come on.>
**look away if you don't want to be offended**

Your no one special, get over your self no one fucking likes you anyway. Attention whore.

blasphemous?

As a side note, I parked my ass in Crushbone after making that post so that I WOULD get inspected. :/


I R teh cured!

Rage fading.... fading... RISING! Fading....

You don't even fucking know me, dipshit.

Speak when spoken to.

Sorry. I have nothing to contribute. I just thought that was funny.

Sometimes it makes the world a better place. :)

Sometimes it makes the world a better place. :) Laughter? .. or my lack of anything to contribute? :( <cries himself to sleep>

Just saying that there are some people out there who REALLY should NOT speak unless spoken to. Prevents the rest of us from having to listen to their verbal diarrhea.

the rest of us? i dont see who exactly you have here that cares to hear the shit of thoughts you have to share, hmm July 18, 2003.. Learn your place newb.

June even.

You're nothing but a common flame-inciting troll.

When I create my account on the forum hasn't got a fucking thing to do with the validity of my statements and the way you try to incite flames I'd be more inclined to believe that you're a bit insecure with yourself.

Grow up, kid. Grow up. Until then, you're dead to me.

I inspect everyone everywhere if they have a cool looking weapon or gear that ive never seen before or cant remeber the name of it. I dont care if it pisses you off and if it does i laugh at you cuz its really really silly. I used to believe in etiquette too...that lasted till lv 20 when i realized that noone cares, no one gives a crap and everyone for the most part is out to get theirs. I don't trust anyone in game unless i know them IRL

peace

Don't trust anybody? Isn't that kinda hard to do? I mean.. gotta trust a Cleric from time to time.. gotta trust an Enchanter..

I just think its asinine that people are comparing this to real life. Granted the "dud3 wherd u get suhchs rox0rs gear" or "youR lev4l 65 anr ur gaers is teh suck!" tells would annoy the shit out of me, I'm not going to fucking compare it to having someone go through my wallet or my desk drawers at work.

It's a game. Deal with it.

Dear Karrma:

Don't let these folks get you down - you have a valid point, and your view is shared by more people than it would seem from the evidence here. It all depends on whether you view your character as being an entity that has its own right to privacy, and how much you feel that EQ is a 'social' game, I suppose. I don't like being inspected either (and also have a Magelo profile); when folks inspect me without asking I will send them a tell: It is polite to *ask* before inspecting someone', and usually they will apologize. If they start spamming me with inspects or abuse about it, I put them on ignore. It clues me in to who the jerks are, and makes life much more peaceful that way... :)

Man. Nydia is so nice. I honestly think the most perturbed she's ever been is when they gave access to tier 2+ planes to chars with the right levels.

/salute Nydia

Your politeness is really astounding :)

Its nice to hear some kind words when surrounded by a sea of h9ers... :)

Nah, Nydia just knows how to mock you with words big enough to keep the those who are being offended from realizing what's going on.

Some call it, "the high road." I call it the pussy way out.

Anyways.

Karm, you're over-counter-reacting. You asked for peoples opinions, and they're giving them, including the ones that involve you being a far-too-tightly wound up super-sensitive gimp.

If you didn't want people to tell you what they think, you shouldn't have asked. =p

"Your politeness is really astounding"

Lol! You might not be so quick to say this if you had ever tried to beg KEI off of me in an exp zone, rather than hiring an enchanter ;). But I appreciate the thought...

Warm regards,
Nydia

Dear Zehn:

OooooOOOooooh! You think so? Who 'pussied out' of the discussion on compassion, tolerance, and acceptance as regards people of other faiths? ;) I was ready to take the kid gloves off and hold your pointy feet to the fire, mister oh-so-full of bluster, but you cut out :P

If I'm guilty of 'pussying out', its mainly due to the fact that middle age seems to have mellowed me out about things that would have left me bristling and with something to prove in years past, alas. Not apathetic about my own position, but rather, less concerned that other people be brought to 'see the light' or else...

Given the right issue and the right circumstances though, I'm as good at foaming at the mouth as your average fanatic, though ;)

Warm regards,
Nydia

What does middle age have to do with mellowness? :(


My granny rides a Harley!

Karrma would you mind if I clicked the link to your magelo? I don't dare click without asking you. I'm afraid you might just hide and sneak your way off this message board.

You don't even fucking know me, dipshit.

Speak when spoken to.



Such a condescending tone from someone who can't even be bothered to level up his own character...

<insert obligatory 'I've been playing everquest since '99' post shortly after this>

You know whats really fucking stupid, MarzMartini? I actually thought that people could have a civil conversation in the NAG forum about something. :/

Naive maybe?

Other then that .. I have the inspect message of I don't give a fuck.

Everquest was designed to let you inspect without asking. If you don't like it... TOUGH SHIT

<insert obligatory 'I've been playing everquest since '99' post shortly after this>

Fuck that, I helped create it!!!! :rollin

Hell, Al Gore and I invented the internet! :rolleyes

-Xeck-

Im with Ytrok on this one. :)
(insert witty comment here) ;)

On a side note... I typically asked before inspecting just to cater to those who want to be asked. Personally, I could care less if someone inspected me without asking.

Ahh, the old topic returns.

The "inspecting without asking is rude" argument stems from PVP games, where inspection is generally a precursor to a ganking attempt. It has no validity in EQ. It is nothing like going through your purse or pockets in real life. It is the only equivalent that we have in EQ of "checking your score" or your progress in teh game, other than perhaps guild tag. For example, if a group asks me to join, and I see that MT is using a Lamentation, I need to decline...

Please, let the inspecting is rude thing die. Particularly if you don't understand the origins of it.

The only way someone in this game is going to violate your personal space is if your 'bubble' is about 1600 miles in diameter, in which case, you should have gotten used to it by now.

In fact, I think it's far morer rude to ask me to ask you if I can inspect first. That's 10 seconds out of both our days that could have been better spent watching hardcore lesbian porn.

i agree with the guy above me

Haha I am with runno on this one. You are a nobody attention whore who wants attention from a stupid ass topic that no one gives a shit about cause whats done is done. People can inspect you when they want weather you like it or not. Get known/attention fighting a real topic please! KK THX GFYS! WEEE :)

I disagree, Santerre. I also came from a PvP mud where /looking someone up and down (it was text, and your inventory could be seen) was frequently a precursor to an attempted ganking. That doesn't mean, however, that just because most of us in EQ are non-pvp, that one doesn't have a reasonable expectation of 'privacy' in the game. EQ has the benefit of being a graphical game; you can see much of one's equipment just by looking at someone without pulling on their shirt collar to look at the label, so to speak. I'm usually happy to link my gear if someone asks about it, or to let folks inspect if they ask to. If that seems a bit touchy or prudish, so be it, but I find driveby inspections annoying, particularly because they often lead to questions like: 'Can I have ur XXX?'

Regards,
Nydia Ywalmoriel

Privacy? It's a GOD DAMN game. I never ask when i inspect someone, and don't give a fuck if someone inspects me without asking. What's funny are the ones who step back when i inspect em, like they got some pixels to hide.

follow them and inspect them again

What's funny are the ones who step back when i inspect em, like they got some pixels to hide.

I wonder if people who do that have self esteem problems. OH NO HE CAN'T SEE MY SHITTY GEAR! :(

There is definitely a correlation between inspecting and following up with ridicule or annoying begging. It may not be strong, but it's enough for some people to be irritated.

I make it a habit to inspect and ask the hp of all the tanks I group with. The only ones that seem to mind are the ones that have less hp than I do =((

I dislike quoting the trolls to make a point, but since I've been called a troll myself this thread, I thought I'd get good use out of it.Everquest was designed to let you inspect without asking. If you don't like it... TOUGH SHITYeah, that's it allrighty. Short of running around all bothered and ass-hurt, there isn't anything I can do from stopping people from inspecting me. I could turn off the message, a live in ignorant bliss, I suppose, but that wouldn't cause nearly as much of a ruckus as coming to these boards and making a Jenny Jones'esque topic like

Tomorrow on Jenny Jones: Inspections, Like 'em?


feh

Hell, Al Gore and I invented the internet!
That's preposterous!

...It was all me, of course.

The inspecting thing bothers me.

"Oh nos! Elazul's getting bugged my something so stupid"

Damn right I am. It's like I said to Karrma in guildchat...when someone inspects you it's like someone walking up to you in public, grabbing your shirt collar and looking at the tag.

Not only is it annoying (because most people seem to have trouble with it and have to inspect-spam because they can't right click just once) but it's also lame because you get the damn message popping up on your screen and distracting you or spamming you or both.

Do I bitch about it? No, well right now I am but I don't at the time. Will I get over it in a second? Yes. But is it still annoying? Yes.

What's my point? Eskimos should never wear purple fur coats.

Once upon atime(lvl 20 or so),i used to ask may i inspect?Be a real rogue was the reply,now i just do it.

I get alot of laughs some times,they really should alleast give the daggers different graphics.

Being annoyed by beggars/link askers is understandable, but being annoyed from inspection...
Hello, use /inspect off!!
OH NOO0Z!! I cant insespct anym0reZ!!1

Maybe that's the real problem, I don't want to be bugged by people who inspect me, but still I want to be able to inspect others...

Did I mention I don't mind at all being inspected?

I find driveby inspections annoying, particularly because they often lead to questions like: 'Can I have ur XXX?'

Different problem entirely. If I come up to you and inspect you, it's not likely I am gonna ask for anything. It would be far more likely for me to say "hey, would you use XXX?"

I like when people look at my stuff and make fun of me. I am the king of gimpco

To those equating EQ actions to RL actions... You really need to step back and rethink playing anymore!Perception is going down.:\

I love these game to real life comparisons.

I suppose shooting someone in Counter-Strike is like walking up to something and throwing an axe into their skull.

If the spam bothers you, you can turn the message off. That's one complaint out the window.

It's not like someone grabbing your shirt and checking the collar, because inspecting doesn't take anyone's time. Asking me if you can see my shit is far more annoying because then I ~do~ get 'spam' -and- I'm obligated to reply or I become the asshole.

I become the asshole.

How can you become something you already are!?!?!?!

hehe :rollin 8o

I am the one.

So did you get the dysentary problem handled? ;)

If the spam bothers you, you can turn the message off. That's one complaint out the window.
Someone told me there was a way before but never told me how to turn it off. Tell me how to turn it off and my rant is null and void and I am completely happy once more.

Please?

Um, it used to be in options. Dunno how it works now.

its not like someone is comming up to you and grabbing your shirt
its like someone looking at you from a far(if you have message on, its like they tell you they are looking), cause it causes you no stress and they don't interfer with you at all, someone grabbing my pants, would interfer with what i was doing at the moment. but inspectionms don't interfer with shit except certain peoples mindset, and if someone came up to me and said fuck you, of course thats gonna be the same, a insult is a insult, but its not the same as inspecting cause a inspection is not a sexual assault case

ease up and enjoi life more

My answer to this topic came to me when turning with my mouse and inspecting jackasses I had no interest in inspecting and saying oops sorry. No one ever said anything about "it's polite to inspect blah blah blah" when I said this I knew how to get around their whining. Now when ever I want to inspect someone and I'm feeling a lazy I just inspect and say oops sorry and no one bugs me... May be "pussying out" but at least I don't have to listen to anyone whine about being offended. *shrug*

Hey Xiao!!
Come back and play more!

Seriously though, does anyone know how to turn off the inspect message? I don't know if I'm just special and attract the tards but everyone seems to like to spam me when they do inspect me so yes, it is annoying.

Anyone? Anyone at all?

I dont give a fuck if they wanna inspect me and look at my ghetto gears but they always get freaked out and flip out after seeing my inspect msg. /shrug

Is it

"I'm really a 47 year old man with bitch tits. And yes, I will cyber you."

Oh, and El.

Open up EQclient.ini

search for

ShowInspectMessage

Set it to False.

Merry Christmas.

Forget to add,

No, you're not special. Like attracts like. And seeing as how they're tards...

this thread is still going?

Its 1's and 0's, true. Maybe I'm just the sort of person that believes that some real life etiquette should apply to characters in EverQuest as well... meaning you don't just run up to someone and check out what they're wearing. Its... well... weird.

i know im late and i only read the first page of posts, but im bored so sue me.

if your comparing it to "real life" i dont need to to undress you to find out you wearing a nike shirt or blue jean pants. inspecting someone only gives you very little info on what they are acctually wearing. think of it this way, inspecting is verants lazy way of seeing what you are wearing with your eyes, we wouldnt need to inspect if every item had a unique look to it would we? linking them or showing them the acctually item with stats is more of what you say putting your hand down someones pants and checking the tag.

i wish there would be more things to do at my place /sigh

damnit just read all the post, everything i just posted was said already argh, i never post on time.

ignore me please

I wonder... Would you have even thought it was annoying to begin with if someone else hadn't bitched you out for doing it previously? Some anal asshole started this whole 'inspecting being annoying if they don't ask permission first,' on some day when he hadn't eaten his Wheaties and was in a lot of pain from the stick being so far lodged up his ass. This anal asshole was the demise of inspecting. Just a thought I felt like sharing.

Honestly, since when does a bored person just bringing up a small complaint just really to start a conversational topic become an "anal asshole"? Really.

I know Karrma didn't start the whole 'inspecting being annoying' thing but he did start the thread and his intention for starting this thread wasn't complete vehemence to scream at everyone with a giant rod sticking out of his ass. So since there was no anal assholishness involved, why flame? Well, I didnt read the ENTIRE thread so I dont know if any anal assholishness really was involved but still...

A lot of weird things bug people a little and don't bug others but when they mention it just lightly do you call them an anal asshole? Wait, maybe ya do but still I'm just saying lighten up a bit on this whole thing and go eat some wheaties without piss. Because if you stop and look at your own post it's far closer to anal than his was.

:)

Maybe because he/she/it is being anal?

And the asshole part came later when he/she/it started freaking out on those of us who posted our opinions an calling us trolls for pointing out he/she/it was being anal.

If I say, "How's this shirt look?" and the person says, "It makes you look fat." Should I be pissed because they commented on how the shirt looked on me? Afterall, I just wanted to know how the shirt looked.

You should try to read page 2 and 3 Ela. ;)

Elazul... you're dense. I wasn't talking about Karrma being the anal asshole. I was talking about whoever yelled at him for doing it when he was a noob. Some nameless schmuck, to start this inspecting nonsense. Anyway Elazul... don't get me started on you having a problem with being inspected... I don't think you'd like what I'd have to say.

/shrug

I mentioned I didn't read the entire thread. But that doesn't make me dense, it makes me lazy. And to that I'm guilty as charged.

I just figured you were attacking Karrma over something so stupid and trivial and figured I'd say something. But it usually helps to know the full thread before ya post. But I'm too lazy to read 6 entire pages of blather and that's a good waste of my precious time that I could be wasting on other stupid shit.

And what do you have to say about my issue with inspecting? I said I hated the message because it's spam. Because people are tards and can't just click once. Where's the analness there? Or are you gonna dig far enough up my ass to find some kind of analness? Go ahead, but I warn ya I may like it...

El likes to stick pipe fittings up her ass. I encounters a T-joint twice. 8(

I will hunt all of you people down and inspect you a bunch of times.. then when I am done I'll ask you to link your shizzo, then after that I will ask for 5pp. I figure if I get enough 5pp donations I can buy my last spell =]
