Chill out John Simmons
-
Sorry I didn't see your earlier posts until now, you kept suggesting FPS titles to challenge me, but didn't you know I'm Fatal1ty's dearest secret mentor? I'm quite busy mon - fri, if you want your ass kicked, we can have a CP frag party this sunday. We can also play HL2 deathmatch, so I can frag you with a toilet with a gravity gun, which is my favorite. Also, I have never stalked that woman once! So, stop making up story. Thank you. :)

Looks like John's worst fears have come true - Link is a gamer guru!!!

Ah, that's true. You stalked her, what, thrice? ;P Marc

I don't mean to ruffle feathers, but I don't see why people pick on Link and vote down his posts, and tell him he is a nuisance. Some of his posts may be inane, but I have never seen anything malicious about them. Is he the focus of ridicule simply because he's a little different?

I think the majority of it is people following the crowd. As for me, the posts I don't like of his are the inappropriate ones. Outside of that I don't vote his stuff down. He's gotten much better about it, but only recently. I think it got bad because for a while everyone was saying chill out with the improper crap he was spewing but he didn't listen. I reckon it just got to the point where we all just unleashed, and I don't think people are done having their fun yet.

It's the historically sustained human behavior of picking on the odd one :-)

Yep, same here. Those "why doesn't she love me" threads he had running a few weeks ago were pretty much insane. And he did overdo the Youtube postings :-) But outside of that, he definitely seems harmless. Though he seems to have a strong insult-proof personality :-) I don't think a JohnSimmons-MichaelMartin combo would have much effect on Link.

And if you mix all three of those into one personality, hmm... Let's just say I'd be afriad, very afraid of what the result would be. :-D

Different? What, like most of us can't identify with being lovesick and bored? Please. To the extent he gets teased, it's because he throws out these inane posts and then proceeds to ignore any serious or compassionate replies, instead focusing on the joking or insulting ones. To borrow a term from those ever-scatological Brits: he's just an incorrigible "piss-taker".

Great! Now I am confused. Where should I put my money on you or on John?

Holy crap ! You dont stand a chance of lasting even a minute unless you are intimately familiar with these games (weapons, moves, key combos). I tried to play HL2 with my 12 year old nephew, it is hopeless. From the looks of it John should ask for one month practice time before taking on Link.

I got to the point after I was feeling sorry for myself about turning 30 he told me that I need to chill and go birth some children.
