There is nothing wrong with trying to help out but you come accross as "pushy" in the way you present yourself. Starting out a "help thread" by first blowing your own horn on how good you are comes off as pushy and arrogant even if your intent is not. If you want to help then by all means do so; but lay off the "I I I I I and more on the We WE WE WE.." and people will be more willing to accept what your are saying.

Oh, that, all i did was state my purpose on why im doing this. I mean, it would be nice for people to read a tutorial by someone who knows what they're doing which is why i wrote that comment. I didnt write that comment for any other purpose. In today's society people have no respect and tend to understand things in ways they know wernt meant when the person told them/wrote something.

That would be a bigger ego. You're not quite at that level, but you're still an egotist.

Oh, please. All of your detractors have at least as much skill with the language as you do. You're not some kind of literary genius, dawg. You make plenty of grammatical and syntactical mistakes and your diction is unremarkable.
Hell, even Moon God is agreeing with me to some extent

Yeah, he may not be the best writer or "literary genius" as you so plainly put it, however this tutorial was good reguardless for whatever set of reasons it was made. Yes, he may have a bit of an ego. But its not as if your not guity of the same crime aswell. "Hell" we all have an ego.

Kai, i dont "try" to act "smart", its just how i write. Like i posted in the career thread i made, i want to be a Journalist, which is why my vocabulary expands day by day. Im not trying to impress anyone, so i dont need to act like someone im not. You really should drop it Kai, and stop with this foolishness. Im simply trying to help out, so, i really dont care what you think about me.

Well, you do care to some extent, you wouldnt be responding if you didnt care at all. But yeah Kaimetsu is being a bit of a jerk.

I do care what people think of me, to the extent that they dont get negative feedback about the person i am. But, if i like something that others dont, for example, a hair due, or clothes style, then i wont really care much about that, because if I did, then i wouldnt exactly be the person i want to be. And yes, Kaimetsu is acting like a jerk, and when i said i dont care what he thinks about me, i meant that i really dont care what he thinks about me, ego wise. Doesnt matter to me if he likes me or not.

Thanks for everyone who actually didnt try to flame me and gave me some nice feedback

I don't think you should tell people you are good at something before you show your skills. If you are actually good at a certain thing, they should be able to tell own their own.

Just have confidence in your own skills.

Nice tutorial btw.

Gambet · #25 09-02-2004, 02:26 AM

Would you all READ WHAT IVE BEEN WRITING. I stated that, by the feedback that i got on my reviews, i implied that they were very well written and very well done. I NEVER said

"Oh im awsume at writing reviews, i own you all, i own!."

You should have just said "they recieved great feedback" not "they were well written... because they had great feedback". Please also note: you still have alot to learn about writing from what I can see from your posting and such, you probably already know that, but sometimes it seems like you don't.

You covered some good points in the tutorial though even though you lied about every server deserving a chance

Gambet · #27 09-02-2004, 03:08 AM

Yes, i do have much to learn. And i hope to soon perfect writing.

That may or may not be so. However, it is irrelevant to the points I'm making.

The difference is that my ego is entirely in proportion to my abilities.

I don't think I made that accusation. All I am saying is that you place yourself higher than is warranted.

Quote:

As soon as you objectively show that I am being foolish.

And you cannot see this as an expression of ego? You really do have a lot to learn.

No, you try hard. It really shows and usually doesn't work.

Is it? So my opinion and the opinion of others on weather or not his tutorial is good has nothing to do with weather his abilities are up to par with his ego?

And you don’t?

"Sparky! That would sound positively 'insultive', if only it weren't a made-up word!"
