Poor Cath.

I find it very amusing that you fail to see the irony in calling other people hypocrites and trolls, Shatner. And getting uppity about ‘not being allowed to express your opinion’ is the icing on the irony cake, given that you seem to take great delight in denouncing just about everyone else’s opinions on here because they’re “not qualified to comment”.

Given the amount of criticism you level at VG247′s writers, I surmise you too are a journalist? Otherwise how could you possibly know what you were talking about?

Blerk, the rules do not apply to Him.

Blerk, give it up. The moment you decided to post “For fucks sake” you lost the chance to lecture anyone on reasonable behaviour and have them regard you as anything other than an insular hypocrite.

I’ve remained calm and reasonable throughout. I’ve asked reasaonble questions and been continually attacked for it. Seems like the mob don’t like certain people asking certain questions but the same mob don’t like being told that everyone’s entitled to an opinion – they’re too busy doing whatever they can to dismiss other people’s opinions. If you’re leading by example, Blerk, then your words are very very empty indeed.

Why should you be entitled to an opinion and not me? Isn’t that double standards? Hypocrisy? Discrimination? You don’t seem especially fond of equality here Blerk do you?

And, surely, it doesn’t matter if I’m a practicioner of what I critique. I’m still entitled to an opinion despite yours and every others’ efforts to try and dismiss it.

I’ll give you some friendly advice Blerk: if you’re going to do the “you’re only entitled to express your view if you’ve first hand experience” then you’re going to run into some pretty major hypocrisy seeing as the moment that view is reflected back on gamers they all uniformally wail about how they’re entitled to express their opinion no matter how clueless they are.

You’re also going to come up empty handed as another thinly veiled attempt to dismiss my opinion won’t work seeing as I do have first hand experience. Not that it’s remotely relevent to any of the points I originally made. You’re just seeking for yet another angle to dismiss another’s opinion.

So, please, stop trying to stifle, deride and supress the opinions of others. You don’t seem to like it when you believe you’re on the recieving end yet you seem utterly incapable of stopping yourself from trying every tired trick in the book to dismiss the opinion of someone else. You’ve been doing it all day.

That’s where the hypocrisy and trolling comes from Blerk. Right from your very first comment. Funny how you’re so blind to your own behaviour isn’t it? A shame it’s in black and white for me to quote back at you (although, amusingly, you totally ignore all references to your own behaviour. You’re far too busy judging others!). Perhaps you’ll start to practice what you preach.

Maybe, if we’re especially lucky, trolls like you and others will allow people to express their opions without trying to attack, dismiss and deride them for doing so. You (and the other trolls) have spent far more time attack me than addressing any of the points and questions I asked. You’re still doing it.

Heh heh.

“Heh heh.”

And that’s why you’re a hypocrite and a troll Blerk. And that’s why I don’t care for your views on internet conduct – you prove you’re incapable of behaving to the standards you expect of others.

You’re far more interested in making incendiary remarks and fuelling antagonistic behaviour.

Sandy vagina?

No, I think he’s just a hypocritical troll LeD. I’m not sure he even has a vagina.

What a loony!!

Er, I was asking you, actually.

Mind you, I’ve only caught the last few posts, so I’m not even sure what you guys are arguing about.
Next you’ll be asking me to s… the f… up, I’m sure!

Nah, he’ll more likely be telling you how much you make him laugh.

Actually I only brought up the “you’re only entitled to express your view if you’ve first hand experience” thing because that’s precisely what you do, Shatner. All the time.

“You’re far too busy judging others!”

Ooh, the irony is killing me…

“Mind you, I’ve only caught the last few posts, so I’m not even sure what you guys are arguing about.”

About the integrity and unbiasedness of this site. As they do everyday.

Ah, see, we’re back to trying to argue now that we’ve trolled a bit.

How very unexpected of you Blerk!

And I’ve only expressed that *specific* view when, just like above Blerk, I can dangle it in front of a troll’s transparent hypocrisy and efforts at finding some angle to dismiss another’s opinion.

(Remember that principle you were arguing a little while back, Blerk – about how distasteful you found the practice of dismissing and deriding the opinions of others? Seems odd you should be so determined to try every predictable trick in the book to deride and dismiss the opinion of one other person doesn’t it?!)

All your reasons and protestations Blerk, you only seem to like them so long as they work only in one direction. The moment those same principles are applied and used to argue against your view then you just change track and look for some other angle to dismiss whatever the other person is saying. Or you just resort to blatant trolling.

Why is it that you only care for certain principles when it suits you Blerk? It sounds grand and important to have a princple but when you only believe in it when it suits you to – well, that’s when it becomes evident that you’re just saying stuff for effect.

Not that there’s a whole discussion above that demonstrates you doing that or anything – right from your very first comment too! Nah, it must all be imaginary. Don’t worry Blerk – you just keep on ignoring your continuing mass of hypocrisy as you go and troll a bit more and ignore all your own behaviour as you try lecturing someone else on how you think they ought to behave.

I’ll be right here happy to point out your hypocrisy by way of reply.

And, for what it’s worth, my original comments still stand – unresolved, unanswered and gaining increased weight by people’s determination to ignore them and focus solely on attacking the person that expressed a view rather than the view itself.

The same little transparent game happens all the time: you can’t argue with what’s been discussed with any competence, so you resort to attacking the person that said it instead. Hoping to dismiss and deride their views in the belief that it’s the same thing as a properly structured and reasoned counter-statement. Feel free to go back on topic at any time Blerk. Or, you know, you can keep trolling and trolling just like all the usual suspects who think they’re such great human beings around here like to do.

Your choice!

LOL!!

He cracked ages ago.

It already “ended” when nobody could competently answer my simple and reasonable questions adequately.

The rest is all posturing and bluff to make it look like the act of dismissing another’s view is a noble and good deed when someone chooses to do it.

LOL!!

This nutter really IS serious business!!!

I wonder what a *real* psychologist would deduce about someone’s mental state if they watched them stalk someone and then repeatedly threaten them with physical violence simply because they didn’t agree that their ‘opinions’ were the same as ‘facts’ in an internet discussion. Would the fact they’re obsessed with violent videogames be a factor? Probably!

I think someone’s in deep, deep denial. The more frequent and desperate their posturing the more evident that it’s just a reflection of their own unhinged state. The refusal to engage with this ‘mirror’ helps the troubled individual believe that their comments are strictly about their target and not themselves. Classic denial symptoms really.

^ Shatpost of the year.

HAHA!!!

The mental head case has been trying to ignore me all day, but finally reverted to his ridiculous type.

LOL!!!

Yes, Jonarob. There’s someone here that felt that threats of a shotgun blast to the face was the appropriate response to their self-proclaimed ‘facts’ being more accurately labelled as ‘opinions’. Continued remarks and threats and obsessive internet stalking behaviour have been commonplace since then.

Clearly, the output of a rational mind!

Telling then, that the same mind is so obsessed with judging the supposed mental state of the target of his threats.

You don’t have to know much to see it’s a classic example of reassigning one’s own issues onto some semi-imaginary target. I have nothing by pity for the poor guy.

Nobody mentioned shotguns in the face!! LOL!!

Shotguns are for the back of the knees…

Glocks work much better in the face!!

“You don’t have to know much to see it’s a classic example of reassigning one’s own issues onto some semi-imaginary target.”

Heh heh. Post #66 says hi! In fact…. most of your posts in this thread are queueing up to greet you.

Hmm, I don’t recall making a big noise about how unfair it was to deride another’s comments after I’d derided someone’s comment and then continuing to deride someone else’s comment.

And, as predictable a troll as always Blerk – you still fail to demonstrate you’re capable of doing ANYTHING besides continually seeking angles to dismiss the opinions of others.

I know you think you’ve just been awfully clever but you’ve also just gone and shown that you behave in precisely the way I’ve described. Perhaps you’re not quite as clever as you think you are, hmm? I pointed this out to you in many earlier posts and even warned you of doing it in my last post. What a shame you don’t read comments before replying to them!

It seems that, despite your best efforts to continually overlook your own poor behaviour, hypocrisy and trolling, you keep on providing more and more and more evidence of exactly that. Whoops!

You’re incapable of allowing one person to express a view without you seeking to dismiss or deride it. Given your so-called ‘principle’ on such behaviour (you know, the bit when you were between troll-posts doing the ‘I’m a reasonable guy’ act) it’s hilarious that you continually act in the way you claim to dislike so much.

And, just as I said before, even though YOU are resolutely ignoring your own behaviour, you leave a slimy trail of it all over this topic so we can all see just what an inconsistent, hypocritical, antagonistic troll you are.

Looking forward to your next post Blerk. I’m pretty sure I know how it’ll read though! All I have to do is predict you’ll be trolling, hypocritical or seeking to dismiss another’s view (possibly all three if you’re feeling especially clever) and wait for you to hit that SUBMIT COMMENT button.

I don’t think anyone will miss him.

Jonarob – see what I mean?

Did you notice the DELIGHT when he thought his projected alter-ego was acknowledging him? What a big deal he made of it?

Can you see now how the dark brooding returns, talk of violence and finality when the attention isn’t given?

Textbook stuff.

I wouldn’t be surprised if we start seeing more desperate attempts at joviality (an obvious act) and some imaginative story-telling crop up pretty soon.

LOL!!!!

So transparent!!!

Proof of the symptoms!!:

“After several years of one stressful event after another, he developed an obession with [Sony] money (based in reality, but even when repeated shown ‘proof’ he clings to it). This elevated into paranoia about the people involved with [Writing stories on forums] the money and then into his being [victimised by other forum members] investigated by a government agency”

That’s actually nothing bi-polar about Shatner’s attitude.

Bi-polar is the emotional act if irrationally shifting from one extreme mood to the other without little cause or reason. Shatner’s attitude, extreme as it may be, is always consistent in what it’s trying to express.

It’s not quite as straightforward as that Michael.

See what I said about increased efforts to gain attention Jonarob? More desperate pontificating? Excessive use of capitals and exclamation marks. Creating imaginary events that he can apply to his projected alter-ego to satisfy himself that his ‘opinions’ still count as ‘facts’?

And the nail in the coffin? Someone as evidently unhinged as he (witness his ramblings over the last 60 minutes) assuming the tone of authority on any mental condition.

When you read his statements and realise that his words actually apply to himself rather than his projected alter-ego they become quite unnerving.

I’d donate money to a charity but until he acknowledges his problem, nobody can help him.

…

“irrationally shifting from one extreme mood to the other without little cause or reason”

Sounds like the type of person who would make a rational sounding post in one conversation then, seconds later, leap into another conversation screaming in capitals, using excessive exclamation marks and acting in a bloodthirsty violent manner.

Even his name, written entirely in capitals, is a clear demand for attention and validation.

What a total nut job!!!

LOL!!!!

Clearly bipolar… The proof is there for all to see.

I like games. Do you like games? Games are fun!

I have to say having gone back to the earlier posts I would have to say Shatner made some valid points.

G1GA, make a meaningful contribution to the debate or stop posting.
