An Open Letter To Scenario Designers

[BeirutDude]

So some people might want the scenario missions pre-defined and it takes just a couple of minutes to delete missions you don't want and define your own. I really don't see the problem.

Also I do design scenarios to be played from both sides (thus mission are necessary for the AI) and many times use the function to exclude some missions when played by the human...

Silly thread ... lets drop it guys.

How's the weather

Hello,

Since you asked, my weather is warm and sunny, but I see that you are still a little cold at times.

Your new BFF,

Doug

...and I'm talking to you Doug.

Hi

I'm really glad that you like talking to me, because I do like talking to you, too. In fact, I'll be talking to you again real soon.

Your new BFF,

Doug

[Rory Noonan]

Can you guys just leave each other alone or take this private. It really detracts from any thread where this goes on.

The block function is quick and easy to use; literally two clicks.

[HalfLifeExpert]

Yes seriously, these arguments need to be put to an end.

[DWReese]

Sorry, Rory

But, if you look toward the top of this thread you'll see that I tried to initiate the "avoidance thing", but apparently ol' wood didn't want to adhere to that.

I reported his actions, once again, to the Moderators, but they didn't seem to want to get involved. So, left with no choice, I apparently have to deal with him on my own. That's not a problem.

Apparently, thewood wants to become BFFs as evidenced by the fact that he continues to send me messages, talk about me, and reference me to others. So, we ARE going to become BFFs. Be careful what you wish for.

Perhaps if wood would have adhered to my wishes, and refrained from contacting me, OR if the Moderators would have addressed this issue as they should have in the beginning, then you wouldn't be seeing this.

But, here we are. So, as HalfLifeExpert stated, if it bothers you then you can simply ignore it.

Responding to a post in a thread is not the same as "contacting" you. As I have already told you, in this particular instance, wood's post was completely appropriate as a fair and accurate response to something you said about a feature in the game.

There was nothing to be gained by responding to him in the way you did, regardless of any past disputes with him.

I'm not a moderator, so I don't know of any specifics of what their operational doctrine is, based on my own observations, past and present, Wood's comments (i prefer to use forum screenames if you don't mind) arn't really enough to warrant serious actions.


As far as I can tell, this is only remaining a thread damaging issue because you and a few others keep making it one. We all need to just remain mature about all this an not make federal cases over every little instance of percieved rudeness.

That being said, this thread must come to an end, as it has drifted from the OP and I think it has been made clear that OP's demand's are without solid foundation.

Dear HLE,

Respectfully, you need to take a seat on the sidelines and stop telling people what they should do. You aren't the forum policeman.

thewood is my new BFF, and we are going to get to know each other real well. I'm actually really looking forward to it.

Had the Moderators removed him a couple of weeks ago when 16 people in 13 minutes indicated that they were in favor of it, then this forum wouldn't have to deal with him any longer.

Sorry if it bothers you, but in returning your OWN advice back to YOU, "if you don't like it, just ignore it." Remember saying that? It's time to take your own advice.

Says the guy who is demanding another user stop contacting him.


And 16 people is hardly the majority on this forum.


You are the one who keeps bringing this up when myself and others are simply posting in the thread that the situation must be defused and the thread close before things get out of hand.

[thewood1]

If you use my name again on this forum I will work as hard as I can to have you banned. It is uncalled for and not needed.

[thewood1]

In fact, I think using my full name is a blatant attempt to encourage harassment outside the forum and will make sure that message is brought Matrix loud and clear.

I'll give you 24 hours to remove any mention of my name or I'll take other re-mediating action.

NSS......As I requested before, please DO NOT RESPOND TO ME ABOUT ANYTHING. I DO NOT WANT TO HEAR ANYTHING FROM YOU.

Talk to anyone else that you want, but don't respond to me, or about me. Pretend that I don't exist and we will be fine. Period!

Doug

I am quoting this part so it doesn't suddenly get edited for posterity's sake.

You may have a point there, I'm honestly not sure, since you name is on your profile, but you may have a point. I've been sticking to screennames as proper etiquette.

[DWReese]

Do you want me to list your address?

You caused this, pal. I told you to leave me alone, and stop talking about me, or to me, and you you refused. So,

Apparently, you don't like it when the bully (you) gets bullied.....Hahaha

[HalfLifeExpert]

See Reese, it is exactly that kind of behavior that destroys your argument and just makes you look bad.

[DWReese]

Your full name is listed in your profile, dude.

[HalfLifeExpert]

Responding like that just demonstrates immaturity Reese.

[thewood1]

But not in the open forum. And the way it is posted is obviously an attempted to spread my name. So let's see where we go with it tomorrow.

[DWReese]

After 30 years in law enforcement, I AM now an attorney, so I already know that if your name is listed (as it is) then it's not protected, and it is free to use by any member. So, you're going lose legally on that front.

When you bully people, and they ask you to stop and you don't (as was with me), then it is YOU who will suffer the consequences.

Don't worry about me erasing anything. I have absolutely EACH AND EVERY ONE of your messages from the very beginning (over two years worth) all saved, so I a quite prepared to have my day with you.

you picked the wrong guy to bully and it's going to comeback on you. The world doesn't care for bullies any more, especially those that hide behind their little key boards.

So, you in correct, we will see where this goes.

Doug
