Children, calm down. This used to be a very civil forum. I am surprised and upset.

So upset, I will not make any complaints about the excess of Political Correction (or "well-meaning censorship) that I hate with all my heart, and I will stop here not to put one more flame in the fire.

What Political Correctness? And the reason you haven't started a new thread is what?

Jose I don't believe I have ever posted a derogatory post to anything you have posted.

Jose your right we are acting like children, well at least I am

I just do not like to see my fellow beta testers get ripped by anyone and I do not want to go back to the old Bo of two years ago. So not to offend anyone anymore I will cease and desist.

Bo


Since I am the only one that has been publicly singled out in this forum for "Hunting".

I can only assume you have considered me as some how "ripping" the beta testers which is untrue. I have not singled out the beta testers in any way. I have responded to caustic posts by individuals.

Are beta testers posts now exempt from being replied to?

If this is true then your going to have to have someone post their names since my list only goes up to August 7, 2009. After which their names were no longer posted on the forums as having being admitted to the beta test.

No,guys, don't take me wrong, I don't know all the facts nor I want to. I guess there has been some disagreement and problems within the beta testers team and forum members. All I wanted to say is "could we moderate the anger?" We are adults and we used to be fellow (pacifical) forum chaps. I have in a high consideration Extraneous, Bo, Warspite, Centuur, ...

As for the PC, Extraneous, it was not about you, but for one side-conversation on "aborigens". I hate to be told (or that someone impose some other person) how to address a person or group of persons (as far as he is not insulting) for political matters.

IE I consider "nigger" nowadays is a pretty degradating epithet (it wasn't upon a time, when it simply meant "black" -from latin "niger"-, which is descriptive), however I hate to have to say "african-american" when I want to say black. 'Cause black is not an insult, as much as white is not. Or aborigin for the case:

From the Collins':
aborigine /ˌæbəˈrɪdʒɪnɪ/ n

an original inhabitant of a country or region who has been there from the earliest known times

Etymology: 16th Century: back formation from aborigines, from Latin: inhabitants of Latium in pre-Roman times, probably representing some tribal name but associated in folk etymology with ab origine from the beginning

Extraneous, beta testers are not exempt from being replied to, And I did not feel you should have taken it that way.

I will delete the word ripping from the posts as it probably was not accurate.

Caustic statements, now that is a pretty strong word [caustic] I felt, maybe wrongly so, that you were looking down your nose at some of us who just happened to be beta testers.

Centuur: Is writing hard for you [&:]
Oh, I'm sorry. I see now you didn't really mean to post it this way. [Beta tester]

Jose: What Political correctness? And the reason you haven't started a new thread is what?
[not a beta tester]

paulderynck: Yes I know but you should have said:
There's just a ton of posts about the game right now in the development forum that ONLY that the beta-testers have access to.

Do you know what a mainframe computer is?

Do you know what a flow chart is?

Yes I have met several have you?

Have you ever had a job or are you a professional student?
[Beta tester]


Steve: You only know six computer languages?
[The head boss]


Bo: Look it up Australia is considered a continent. I did know that honestly.

"Talking down to you on the other hand is required so you can understand." Well everyone here knows that, big deal.

If your not part of the beta testing team tough. "Tough"?


To the general posters here: "I asked you all politely to post something about the game last week and you all appear to have refused." You must be talking to the beta testers because the general posters know nothing of the computer game.

Look at the above Extraneous and if you feel that you have been polite, kind, nice, informative, and do not deserve the comments made to you in the forums then okay I stand corrected.

If you notice I did not use the word "trolling" as I felt you were not doing that.

Hi Jose

I too do not like to be told what I can or cannot say about race or anything else in the forums, but in deference to Greyshaft or others I feel somehow I hit a sore spot without meaning to, apologized and moved on.

Hey Bo, I can write [:D]. However, I've decided not to respond to any of Mr. Extranous posts, since that seems to be contraproductive. At first, I thought he was a nice guy. Unfortunately, I've concluded he isn't.

Well done Joseignacio. Since I agreed with you I wasn't going to post. But I must say I didn't mean to ignore bo's faux paux but I had quickly forgotten it.

I would like to thank Steve for starting a new thread Screenshots for the Players Manual.



Centuur I will hold you to your post.
