A note to the stupid :

The use of the word 'warez' in almost any non-derogatory manner (IE : 'check out these l337 warez' or 'where can I get some warez' or 'I am a stinky ugly little man with a small penis who enjoys warez') is an instant and immediate flag to the other members that

A) You have a small penis.

B) You have a moldy orange rind for a brain.

C) You are unworthy. Fool.

So if you make a post that has a violation of the above, and are suddenly noticing a distinct lack of sympathy, don't be surprised.

Fool.

That's right up there with Red Mage.

"Hi, I download a lot of warez, and keep getting viruses--can you all help?"

Or maybe I was just trying to make a joke? Plus my post has nothing to do with sympathy or the fact that I got a virus. I was just asking about reinstalling windows. If Delidgamond made the exact same post it would have been funny, har har. But whever I post anything, I only get crap for it. What the hell?

You should back up whatever you don't want to lose. To reinstall Windows, you have to format the drive completely. So back up any programs that won't install with Windows (IE would be excluded, sometimes Word, etc). Back up any files you want to keep (Porn, games, logs, writings, etc)

You should think about partitioning your drive this time. Set aside a small section for Windows to exist on on its own. Then have everything else either on other partitions, or just part of the rest of the drive. That way, when you have to reinstall, the only things you will need to redo programwise are programs that affect the Registry.

Guys, please?

Instead of harping on every little point, can you please just let it lie?

It's not confirmed he did indeed get a virus from warez Sage, so saying it was from his own stupidity might (Edit: add a not here, I can't type) be entirely true. There are many other ways you can get a virus.

Nem, D, Cadga, etc: Shhhhhh. Just don't make a big issue of it, okay? Do the Piney Fresh Druidess a favor on the eve of her wedding?

Az, I've given you a satisfactory answer. I think you should bow out of this one before more flames ensue. Not getting on you, just trying to keep the peace.

People think that would be funny from Delid because he's Delidgamond. Last I checked, you weren't. Want people to think you're funny? Do funny stuff, instead of posting the worst half-minded crap I've ever seen.

You have far too much faith in humanity. Really.

Cadga took a shot at something Az, hereforth referred to as "Ass" declared a joke, the warez mentioned.

Then Ass took a shot, in a stealth edit which already isn't cool, against something very major and uncool happening in real life. That does not fly well with me. And countless others.

No thanks, Mom.

No one said his virus was definitely from warez. He seems to think it was, though.

The clue isn't for us: it should be for people who do stupid things, then expect both sympathy and help. And who further complicate their lives by taking cheap, low shots at rather upstanding members of the community.

Why, exactly, should he not get poked for his buffoonery?

No one's just looking for an excuse to flame. Asseroth brought this squarely upon himself.

Doing something stupid, then expecting--no, demanding--help from others is a bit much. Most of us don't think warez is funny, and think anyone using it gets whatever they deserve in terms of viruses/crashes/computer problems in general.

He's not being oppressed; he's simply reaping the just consequences of his chosen illegal activities.

"Hey, I got a flat escaping from this robbery I just pulled off, can you help me change it?" is exactly the same kind of request.

To which I would also answer, "No," and call the police.

Add: and if you contend I'm on some kind of kick looking to flame random people, you should support that with evidence. Otherwise, I suggest you quit with the vague insulting generalities.

I wasn't meaning you, Ocyrrhoe, sorry you got that impression. I meant the "Ban him" things from the first post, etc, that aren't really necessary. I wouldn't say a word against defending your brother.

How do you get that he seems to think it is, Sage, when he had the "hehe" after his comment? I guess it's another edition of Lyinar Read It Differently. I read it as a joke, you read it as an admission of guilt. So your vehemence seems a bit over the top to me, but probably perfectly justified to you. Different interpretations, I suppose.

And none of you have to get snotty. I'm trying to ask in the politest way possible that you just stop fighting, especially over something so small.

Why should Cadga be able to insult people that live with their parents? Why should he imply they're less than people that live on their own?

He quite often brings up the Mommy/Daddy argument, and frankly, I find it very insulting. I live at home myself, because it's my most financially secure choice now, not out of laziness, or expecting things out of life without trying to get them myself. So comments like that bother me.

And I don't think Az should have posted that, especially in the snide manner he did. Some sort of attack wasn't unwarranted, however, so it's unfair to act like it was.
