Well I would hope you value your life more than that. Donny erased the part about me "trolling" under another account from this post (though I still have it quoted under one of my post). Take what you will from that Dsimon. As for my credibility, I don't really care what you believe. Maybe I am lying that I'm a lead engineer for a Codemaster's project, or maybe I'm telling the truth and moved down to Orange County because of said project for an incredible increase in pay. Maybe I regret moving down here for money. If you don't believe me, why is this your 3rd post directed at questioning that? You seem to care more about my occupation than I do. btw, Software Designer/Software Engineer/Software Developer are often used interchangeably. The nomenclature is often not rigidly defined between those terms.
I erased "trolling" - and ONLY that word - because it confused you. I never said "trolling under another name." People on this forum get accused of "trolling" under their normal alias. Trolling is about looking to post to get a rise or to stir up controversy or old arguments. It doesn't necessarily mean you use another account. I DID say you were trolling and viewing the boards even when you supposedly "weren't here". Trolling/troll: someone who posts controversial and usually irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, with the intention of baiting other users into an emotional response<SUP class=reference id=cite_ref-0>[1]</SUP> or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion.<SUP class=reference id=cite_ref-1>[2]</SUP> <SUP></SUP> You were "gone" and weren't coming back ever again...yet occasionally your posts would surface. So, we know - and you know - that you were reading the boards and staying up-to-date and very much waiting for the right time to come back...even when you were "gone forever." :: And don't you - and others, not saying it's just you - OFTEN post to bait and get a rise from other posters, especially regarding Manny and his opponents? DOn't bother denying it, really. Funny you come back right after a Pacquiao victory...and now are trolling to convince the forum he won a clear fight. So I still believe my post was accurate. So....you help make video games. That would have been much easier to say, wouldn't it? You're part of a development studio and are on a team making a game for Codemasters U.K. Who are you with - Spark? Liquid Entertainment? inExile Entertainment? Obsidian Entertainment (ex-Black Isle)? Activision Blizzard, Pandemic, etc.? Someone in California around the Irvine area. I hope it wasn't Sparkle....Turning Point: Fall of Liberty is not getting good reviews. :: But it happens. Happens in my world too. I'm somewhat of an avid gamer myself. Wish I had more time for it. That's actually a pretty cool field. BTW - it wasn't THAT long ago that you were talking about "attending prestigious universities"....so don't go pretending it's a 'distant memory.' :nono: :: See ya.
Right that's why you did it. Not because you tried to claim I was trolling and posting under another name while I was gone. I don't see where I said otherwise? :dunno: Publishers invest tens of millions of dollars into SKUs and like to "chat" with the development team. Being the lead engineer for the Xbox 360 SKU, I'm often asked to chat with these managers. I know their skill first hand, and you obviously aren't on that level. As for me visiting this forum, I never said that I never visited this place during the past 9 months. I did every once in a while to check PMs because it would directly go to my Gmail when I was PMd. But I never posted during that time or even took time to read discussions. I didn't even know that Hanzy was gone until I looked around the off topic area. Face it Donny, you are dishonest, and a lot of people have called you on your bullshit. You post under the guise of being even handed, but in reality you aren't any better than some of the trolls that have passed through here. This entire thread became a discussion about your bullshit call on trying to over moderate banter between fans of two fighters. When people overwhelming called your decision stupid, you turned it into a thread questioning "me going to university" or "me conferencing with managers of multi-billion dollar companies." That's the hypocrite and child inside of you Donny, and that's why you moderate this board for free instead of being paid to manage by a real company. Aren't you in your mid-40s? You seriously need to grow up or move up the ladder at least. ::
No...none of your assumptions are correct. :: And yes - you did post while you were "gone." Come on now. You said you were gone for good. :: It's like boxers going into 'retirement.' And please...don't keep talking down to me or insinuating things. It just makes you look even sillier, truly. :: The irony is RICH. As far as the thread, I actually wrote a post acknowledging that the feedback from MWS, Rabid and YOU was right on and I was stepping back. I even gave you credit for that. It was YOU who turned it into a personal thread and started calling my personal life and "management skill" into question. Which is absolutely hilarious. Dude, I HIRE people like you. Please, get your facts straight...they're on page 2, with you initiating it by "talking to me seriously about management". ROFL!!! My first post regarding the flaming wasn't even directed at you by name. Chronology and reading comprehension are important. That's all. Enjoy Codies. Peace.
'bama is a good looking pinoy, with a hot and perfect girlfriend, who earns a lot of money, drives a BMW, lives in a "cool" place, have the perfect job and the perfect parents......fuck, I want to be him
It is completely irrelevant to ANY online discussion - and there is no way to verify anything said, ever. Meaningless.
Haymaker, you're just fanning the flames. This stuff doesn't belong in the general forum. As for the others, it takes a SMARTER person to stop baiting others. If you want to do it in TAAA, fine. Not the general forum, guys. Soon I'll just have to start closing threads.:dunno:
Point taken, Rydell, and I apologize for my part in it - though I won't apologize for defending myself. No more from me. Peace.
Donny you really are clueless, so I'll put this as simple as possible. Just look at the general forum and see which threads are the most popular. You'll find a large amount of Pacquiao related threads where Marquez and Pac fans are going back and forth. You call it "baiting and trolling", I call it message board activity, something this place has been lacking for a long time. That's what you tried to shut down until the membership of the board correctly told you to fuck off. Basic logic would tell you that as long as people aren't turning threads into a forum for personal attacks, or other personal bashing, then why the hell would you need to step in? You've been moderating this board for free over a 5 year period and that didn't click in your head? Open your eyes. This place is dying, and you tried to put a nail in the coffin at the beginning of this thread. Thank whatever deity you believe in that the membership of this forum is a lot smarter than you, and spoke up. Like I said earlier, prove it, or fuck off. You seriously are a sack of shit Donny for continuing to try and push this bullshit under the guise of being a good moderator. Give me screen names, IPs, or other information that proves I posted while I was away from this place. We can even have David confirm if the information is true or not because he knows how to check IPs against screen names.
Jeepers, I feel like I just chastised the pope. Donny's always been more openminded and clearer-thinking than me. Could it be that the birth of my son in 8 days is starting to make me grow up? Peace and chicken grease. :clap:
Bammer, you know I like you, and this is type of posting is really unnecessary. He has said he didn't mean screennames. He said that you tend to watch and post while using the invisible function (Or at least that's what I think he's essentially saying). The namecalling and all the rest is uncalled for in the general forum. Take it to TAAA or to Smacktalk, please.
Why do you insist on mixing up topics to suit you? I said you occasionally posted under your own name...while you were supposedly "gone." Not other names. That's true. Yes, you do bait...and occasionally troll. That's true. Of course it sometimes gets alot of responses...that's what baiting is for. :: And Pac-Marquez II is very recent and was a close fight, so yes, I expect those threads to be longer. I have already admitted that you guys were right and said so back what - 3-4 pages ago? But you keep bringing it up as if it's a topic I insist on. Transparent. As for the rest - my posts stand on their own and are largely unanswered. Insulting me doesn't make you sound more mature than you obviously aren't; nor does it add any weight or credibility to your post. It just reeks of desperation and frustrated adolescence. G'bye now.
It's cool. Just let it go. GF is for debate, not shitdisturbing. Healthy debate is one thing, but talking about a person's job, girlfriend and life just to mock them is another. Be good here or start up shit in TAAA. GF has to stay clean, everyone. :clap:
No David, he's changing his point as I call him on his BS. Now he's claiming: Notice the constant update of "what he meant"? I'm just asking Donny to stop making shit up. In fact I want Donny to clear up what he said so others can understand. Did you mean I posted under my name the past several months? Or that when I post I usually post under invisible? Or something completely different? Great. I'm done with this shitty thread.

Meanwhile I am a loser, I am not Pinoy, do not engineer software, do not care for Pacqio..... Oh whoa is me!!!! :: I am going now.... but first I plan to kick myself to the curb for good measure!! ::
Dsimon I don't understand what your problem with my personal life is, but you're being a total loser about it. I thought better of you before.
I'm gonna learn from previous mistakes and not overmoderate. I think talking it out can and should be done because we have a bright lot who can cool off without making it worse. Let's chill and talk boxing. Debate the sport, not the debators...to paraphrase Booker T. :clap:
And dsimes, I know you are mocking yourself at the same time as Bammer, but why throw lighthearted gasoline when the fire is being put out? Trust me, dude. I haven't lost my sense of humor, but I'm being the diplomat here, so no favorites in here. :clap:
yeah he was totally useless when he fought JMM who's >>> very good boxer. :: the way Casa fought Katsidis, i cant se how Pac cant beat him.
