Migal. Guess what I don't like you. That's perfectly acceptable under Renderosity guidelines. Being refreshingly blunt isn't. Now I'll give you that, Scott was refreshingly blunt which is contrary to recent behaviour from him where he's been irreverant, silly, downright daft, amusing and evasive. Blunt he was, and it was refreshing, but it's not allowed here. The tone, personal nature and language used in his comment to Lapis goes against the "laws" on this site. Of course, Scott will get away with it, whereas myself or Lapis or some others would get a warning or a 24 hour ban for it. But that's part of the amusement here. Finding ways to insult people without getting caught doing it. You see, the big black eared mouse that runs this site has a problem with allowing people to self regulate themselves, so we're all reduced to saying things in as round about a way as possible. That's why you're finding lots of anger and argument and very little achievement - but if you look closely you'll see a great deal of amusement also. It takes 10 to 20 posts for some people to say "screw you pal you're an ass" because it has to be done in the Disney way. This results in long threads full of screeching, screaming and howling, rather than half a dozen posts. Perhaps the most amusing thing in this case is that this thread had been dead for 24 hours before someone chose to re-awaken it. Personally I could give a flying F*&k at a rolling donut what people want to call each other but rules are rules and this site has rules. It has rules for the members, rules for other members, more and different rules for certain individuals and no rules at all for a very few where they're allowed to arbitrarily describe the entire population as morons. :) Welcome to Renderosity, home of obfuscation, rhetoric, pointless verbiage and a great deal of strangeness. It's better than lying in a sewer waiting for the flush and more entertaining than co-starring in a three-stooges movie. :)
