Okay, if you want to completely ignore the fact that humans have brains and infer things that you don't directly say, I can play that way too. I will postfix these areas of my post with a '[/you]' tag
> Copping an attitude is not ad hominem.
Did I say it was? No. [/you]
> No, I did not insult anyone. You simply felt I did. Show me
> where I directly insulted someone, and I will apoligize.
So if I were to have said "People who demand unreasonable levels of respect from complete strangers in order to give them the privilage of playing a hack they made are fucktards" -- you wouldn't have taken that as an insult? I mean I didn't target it directly at you. But you see... anyone would half a brain would know that I would be talking about you. So pretend you're someone with half a brain (if you can)... and reread http://www.zophar.net/wwwthreads/showthreaded.php?Cat=&Board=romhack&Number=261869&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=0&vc=1this post</a>.
The insults are there... but like I said, you have to actually have a brain to see them. If you cannot see them, I recommend you get into more social situations with people. You obviously lack basic perception skills.

Again? That's the first time you said there was a difference. [/you]
> Accusing me of having an attitude
> is an abstract and meaningless personal attack
Well, I would say I'm sorry for saying you have an attitude -- but I'm not because you really do have an attitude.
It wasn't meaninless anyway. I was trying to point out that your work won't be received well. I was trying to show you, or give you advice as to how you could have your work received better. And I know that you claim you don't care -- but the mere fact that you posted this thread at all, continued to visit it, and now even fulfilled someone's request for an IPS prooves that you really do care -- even if you don't want to admit you do.
You want your work to be received by others. If you didn't, you wouldn't have posted this thread.
Now that you may understand my standing a little better -- reread my first post in this thread.
> Using your disagreement with my perspective to justify
> an ad hominem is your fallacy.
That's not what I did at all. Are you reading the same thread I am?
> Then I guess he should either ask nicely instead of

Can you point out where he demanded? Oh no wait you can't. Because he didn't.
He didn't demand. He stated the fact that hacks distributed in IPS form are received better. If the truth offends you, perhaps you should stray from ROM hacking.
> I don't want fans.
Obviously.
> I do it for the love of the game ;)
Posting this thread doesn't do anything for the game.
> I never called anyone an ingrate [snip]
> Show me specifically where I called anyone an

Re-read your reply to my first post in this thread. Though, again, you need to have half a brain to see it.
> You can't. So shut the fuck up.
I can, and have -- you just don't recognize it because you're clueless. You seem to think just because you didn't use anyone's name you didn't insult anyone. You hide behind poorly constructed hypotheticals which are completely transparent (but again, only to people who have half a brain).
> Because I did not like the way he was asking for an IPS.
So... you have a stick up your ass.
That aside, show me where he asked for an IPS. Oh wait you can't because he didn't [/you]
> I do not care.
I was explaining my logic. You were accusing my arguments of being ad hominem, I was explaining how they're logical.
> That's your opinion. I believe I've already covered the fact
> that I don't care about your opinion.
So you say. Yet you keep relying.
> I don't care how you justify your ad hominem. You started

It's not ad hominem if it's constructed on logic. My arguments are logical.
> No. But I would not commit an ad hominem either and expect
> him to say he's sorry.
Ad hominem is an adjective, not a noun. [/you]
Anyway, I got a good chuckle out of your "scrotum licker", "cunt", and other 13 year old insults... but I realize that by this point I'm talking to an arrogant moron who completely lacks basic social perception skills. So I'm going to leave now. Feel free to reply and call me a cunt 16 more times -- feel free to get the last word in.
