Ah, I have been distracted from our classy discussion on the meaning of life, the universe, and all things classy due to a certain assignment that needed completing. T'is done now, but sadly, until I recieve a reply, or certain individuals show up on the stream, I am not at liberty to discuss this. Let me just say I carried out an oath I swore. Two in fact.
The meaning of life, there is none. Our purpose is to live and make as big an impact as we can before we go to the big Chan above. We must do this with class! The universe has no meaning. It is a void, as much of a void as the Chan is when the trolls are dominating the forums. We must keep this void in check with Class! Everything Classy should stay classy. This class must be preserved with the most classy of individuals. As a "Protector of Class", I have vowed never to let trolls dominate any forum. Chan, Pony, Gaming, or anything. The classless must be cast out. These classless are the trolls that are so determined to undermine this class.
Ah, it seems you are one of those that we would call Lawful Good, perhaps Lawful neutral. Being closer to True Neutral or Chaotic neutral, I always see the dichotomy and irony of the world. To me, trolling and class are neither, for I have seen some classy trolls, even if there are more that are not such. Trolling, if properly managed, is a tool like any other, and can be used to control entire boards. For what purpose you use this power, however, is entirely another matter. If one chooses to use the power to control trolls to spread rage, then they should be removed from their position of power, regardless of how much class they have. However, if one manages to use trolls to spread class, perhaps some chaos to break the monotony, then is there truly a problem?
I consider myself to be Lawful Evil, actually. People fight behind faceless beliefs, and they defend them to the end. But I defend nothing. Should someone attack me, I merely state that they tell me where they got their evidence, and how I am acting without class. Should it be about my religion, I could really not care less. Everyone has their own opinion. I help whoever needs it, and often times, my own foolishness weighs me down. But someone of my class shall not let others weigh him down, only myself. I am my own demon. And nobody else is mine. I do not help those who do not deserve it; This is why I help so many here; many of them do deserve it.
The same could be said for you, my good man. I, myself, see you more of a Chaotic Neutral. That's just me, though. People of our Class need to be able to resist the urge to get mad at the trolls. Otherwise, we are worse than the trolls themselves; we give them what they want.
Many have said that I am Chaotic neutral, and perchance they are right. However, after seeing the most Chaotic this world has to offer, I began to doubt them. In any case, the trolls are thrice weak against those such as us. First, they must get past our bronyhood, which has taught us to love and tolerate the opinions of others. Second, they must get past out experience from the Chan-wastes, which have tempered the steel of our logic and emotions. Lastly, they must get past our class, which in itself can cause them much delay, even without the above defenses.
You are exactly right, my good man. Thank you for your time. This has been an exquisite conversation. *Sips the last of his tea* Off to my Classy bed in my Classy Bedroom. Thank you, DanSze. Keep it Classy.
I won't claim to follow all this fancy talk on internet-anatomy. But really, wasn't there a nicer way to solve... whatever exactly happened between Saiko and Manehattanite? It felt so... not pony. Back to ponies nau?
What happened between Saikyo and Mane? You mean the trolling? That was dealt with in the first few posts of this conversation by pointing out the trolling. For some reason, that works wonders. The rest was just lulz.
That you did, good sir, that you did. Sadly, I am otherwise taken at the moment, and as such can not keep another conversation up, or at least reasonably so.
What happenned between me and Manehattanite was this: Manehattanite was trollin', I be Counter-Trolling. He can call it whatever he wants. Quite the contrary, my good man. I meant every word I said, even if it was in a classy manner.
You say this, and then continue for three pages rambling about nothing. OK. After offering repeatedly to talk privately about this matter meant nothing then. What a shame. I was so excited. This is not true. Many people agree precisely with what I have said. Because you don't have a grasp of fundamental psychology (or self-awareness, really, but that's something you share with these raging depressive types) doesn't mean that how I view the "depressed" trend is just "negativity". Again, bringing up valid points in the previous thread that made a few people angry =/= troll.
On topic, if your friend is annoying you, you can try explaining how you feel. He/She might not get it, so in that case you should ignore them. I agree that it felt non-pony. But it's okay now. Aw, Mane, can you explain what you meant by this? I think "mind you" was just a phrase he picked to mean "just so you know", so there's no reason to pick on him. Maybe that wasn't your intention, but it did sorta come across that way. That's probably my favorite saying. I think everybody should try to be nice to each other. That's okay with me, because I wasn't expecting to see "Lawful Good" or "Chaotic Neutral" referenced twice in the same thread. Original D&D phraseology for the win, sir.
