He understood perfectly.  You wished to establish yourself as an asshole and you've exceeded your goal.  Well done.

Oh, and here's a smiley for you.  Evidently, that makes it all better. 

The topic is pretty well beaten to death at this point. Some people favor it and some don’t, it’s no big deal in either case. Everyone is welcomed to their opinion. It's only when certain folks feel the need to denigrate others simply because their opinion is different that the above stuff happens.

Any reasonable person can make their own judgment as to who first instigated the personal attacks. I feel no compelling need to argue the semantics of the meaning of what someone said nor do I feel any need to prove my reading comprehension. Like I said, any reasonable person has already made their judgment as to who the asshole is and who is merely responding in righteous indignation. I know I have.

To bastardize a quote from Mark Twain, "Between the two of us it seems that we know everything there is to know. You seem to know everything there is to know except that you're an asshole, and I know that."

This thread is a weetod.

I thought the same but apparently being an ass and posting a sig just to irk others isn't an act of assness to you because he is a friend of yours.

I treat punks like punks.

So, you admit that you know you were the ass who instigated it and yet you keep typing as if you have a point.  I'll bet your childhood story is tragic.  Not interesting.  Just tragic.   

That is my quote before you spinned it. What part of it do I need to dumb down for you? I'll do my best but in the end you basement dwellers will be featured on the new reality series... When Teachers Fail.

A whole gang of you and all you can come up with is calling me an asshole. priceless!

"When signatures attack" coming this summer on fox. lol.  

Delusions of adequacy.  I suppose I should give you a break for not being able to follow.  Evidently, English isn't your first language. 

My only question is how do you breathe?

Edit - forgot the smiley.  You likey the smiley, right?   

NT is right....you're going to have to do better than "asshole".

Not that I wish to hinder this entertainmant, but Stardock said "NO" to the signatures (for all you folks on the short bus see reply #4).

That should have ended it. But no, people come out of the woodwork and make a one eighty. Congratulations....you're fuckin' lost.

Hey asshole, get the cat off the couch and get the beer out....I'll be over.

(insert 'smiley where the sun doesn't shine' here)   

I have found that some people have (de)evolved into being able to breathe out of their asses.

On topic, can someone explain to me exactly why signatures are a bad idea? If you don't like it you don't have to read it, and if someone has an inappropriate sig you could just disable their ability to have one.

I'll get the beer out but I'm hiding the cat from you.

Mottikahn, you have a nice day. The grownups have work to do. 

It's miller time for me. Well.... Sam Adams time anyways.

The continuation of this so called 'conversation' has nothing to do with wanting or not wanting the forum supported ability to insert a signature. It has to do with the fact that some people feel that it's fine to denigrate others simply because they don't happen to share the same *opinion* on the subject.

In point of fact the actual subject is totally immaterial. It all stems from some folks absolute demand to be 100% right in all things which therefore makes any contrary opinion 100% wrong.

Asshole is certainly an appropriate appellation but actually troll is probably technically more correct.

So since you and your beer buddy are trolls, the only thing to do is to stop feeding you. Of course this will give you the mistaken impression that you've somehow "won" which is something you apparently need to offset your obviously well founded feelings of inadequacy, so feel free to dance about proclaiming your victory as your betters simply withdraw from the thread.

Hooray! Hooray! You've "won" an argument on the internet. You're on a roll (a troll on a roll).

Now is probably a good time for you to try out for Special Olympics.   

For once, i have actually refrained from calling anybody...anything. Insult me if you wish, but don't put words in my mouth.

I actually added the Adblock Plus line as an acknowledgment that some of you do not like the idea of sigs and i thought i would be tongue in cheek about it. I mistakenly figured those in opposition to the idea would be intelligent enough to see the humor in it, i see in your case i was mistaken.

If i were to behave like a punk about this, i would have lead in with something about your mom or you lack of penis length...or something similarly immature.

In fact you have caught me on a fine day and all i can say is, i am still amused by the fact that a 350 X 35 .png advertising my Galactic Civilizations 2 Metaverse Empire, a Stardock product by the way, has got you so pissed off that you are still, 2 days later attempting to insult others and make yourself feel better about a small and indignant life.

I have no issue with SD not allowing sigs...thats fine with me. Peronally made efforts are just as good, and have been in use across many SD sites for years. I don't see that changing any time soon.

Night Train and yrag...i have to ask. Does there happen to be an Interstate near you?

"Captain! I don't think the topic can hold this much longer! Her shields are down, the hull is critical, and we've already reversed the polarity!"

The problem is that they bring absolutely nothing to the table. They take up space, tend to be abnoxious and distracting, and they don't do anything useful. I think a username and avatar combo is all of someone's personality I need to know. The rest is in their posts. But to each his own, eh? If people really wanted them, I could live with the extra time scrolling. I'm sure the rest of the world could too.
