Hiya. Pro tip on preaching about provocation – don’t command someone not to ‘provoke’ if all you’ve got is provocative lingo yourself. Your melodramatic salvos don’t help your case. Vitriolic exchanges on these forums are no more unusual, and certainly no more ‘personal’, than the explosions present on all online formats, from youtube to the average comments section on any news site.

You act like you’ve never read any disagreement online. Stop snowflaking out on me – it's whinging, whiny, withering, wimpy. The flippant crassness and holier-than-thou pomposity of LightingLockey was simply met with an equivalent dash of poison – I’m just more articulate about it than he is.

If either of you had any wits about ‘keeping the peace’, you wouldn’t actively pursue its opposite by referencing topics/people who were involved in disagreements in which you had no involvement yourselves. In doing so, at the very least you’re going to reignite flames that had already died out – why would either of you think that it’s a smart idea to preach and lecture, especially when the ‘debate’ had nothing to do with either of you?

A disagreement happened and then died out. Let the fucking thing stay dead by staying quiet. You were not involved. That’s a bit of wisdom you should both take with you in all walks of life – do not poke your nose in matters that were no concern of yours, and you won’t find yourselves with shit up your nostrils as a result.

Lastly, I could not give a damn about being barred, reported or otherwise prevented from commenting on these forums – in fact, do us a favour, anyone with admin powers, and please go ahead and cancel my account. It would save me from having to read and reply to this crap in future.

The ‘boast’ you perceived is a wildly subjective label born of your own imagination and insecurities. Why even mention something like that, unless again your intention is to provoke? One of my ideas was taken on board by Larian. So what? If you think they’re the only company to okay one of my ideas, you’d be mistaken – and I get paid a lot more money by the others who like what I have to say. So I couldn't care less whether it's acknowledged or not.

Just leave it be. There's nothing to gain from antagonising anyone on these forums. I never – NOT ONCE – antagonised anyone on these forums – it was always some gobshite antagonising me, resulting in a return shot. Don't be that idiot. And I won't make you feel like one as a result.
