    5,741(2) Posts, and 3.5 years. And what have I learnt.

    People hide behind their internet connection, and when confronted face to face they turn into whimpering little girls ( c u @ lan etc etc )
    90% of people on forums like this are complete and utter wasters.
    5% of people on forums like this are bareable ( just )
    3% Are sound as fcuk.
    2% i have the utmost respect for.

    Most of the time your post count and join date do count for something.

    Being a Mod dosent give you diplomatic immunity ( it fecking should thogh )

    Kitteh's are the funniest thing the internet has come up with as of yet ( lolpresidents came close )

    You can find love in the wierdest of places, even on boards.ie

    Argueing with a mod never works, even when you are in the right.

    6.5 years and 10K posts and I'm still surprised by the idiocy people are capable of online. People take things and themselves far too seriously online. Just look at posts 21 and 22 for instance.

    Something along those lines but I realised the error of my ways. Some people just can't get over themselves.

    Oh god, I hope he does :D

    What have I learned.. Well since my main interest here is Martial Arts I've learned a lot about the styles I'd previously ignored.

    Thats about it I'm afraid.

    In my short time on Boards, i've realized;
    - 99% of AH poster are just looking for something to argue about.
    - Spelling mistakes are punishable by death (thats why it takes me so long to reply to anything:D )
    - Any post mentioning breaking the law, will have the OP flamed even though it might have nothing to do with them.
    - Some mods (very few) really are in danger of disappearing up their own ass.
    and finally
    - Hagar is probably the funniest man in Ireland.

    Add to that

    If you mean on a POV rather than a rule impeachment then arguing with mods can on the odd occasion work out fine. Being right helps. Catch them out of their native forum though;)
    Also kinda helps if another mod, who is right, agrees with you, otherwise you are prone to become a mod sandwich.:o

    I was going to argue with you once, but after having a premonition of this (your) future post, I decided to choose my mods more wisely.:D

    Right that's me marked for life.:eek:

    1. The word 'of' will soon replace the word 'have' in the English language.

    2. Poker is hard

    3. There are at least 17 conflicting sets of rules about sigs.
