And as usual with me, you just have to give me a few days to burn out and remove it.
Generally it takes a few days (so just deal with it), but calmly reminding me with a PM sometimes does the job :p p.s.: wow thayer kicked hh's ass |

Pot to kettle: You are black. Seriously, that last bit is about as valid as if I were to say that if your next post contains the letter M, you're secretly Elvis. You can't define the purpose of something that hasn't been created yet. I also can't seem to find what, exactly, you have contributed to this situation. Originally posted by Thayer Context, context, context. The post you've quoted is a direct reply to your own in which you quoted Xk. It should thus be obvious to most that the 'that' I speak of is Xk's post which you quoted. Said post contains not one piece of information regarding what, specifically, was changed.
This may be true in exact by-the-book English, unfortunately, nobody actually does it by the book. While 'explicit' can, technically, mean 'specific', in practice the only widely accepted context is 'explicit language', 'sexually explicit', and similar varieties. The definition 'specific' of 'explicit' is outdated and for all means and purposes invalid. It's obvious from your posts even before mine that you want no more than to incite a flame war. The filter was intended as a harmless joke, and having realized the problems it caused, Xk has announced that it will be removed. If you really wanted to simply point out the problem, there would have been no need to make your initial post and reply so negative. Either you have an attitude problem that you should look into, or you simply wanted to be an ass about the whole thing. Oh yeah, and next time you have something to say to me, try just coming out and saying it. You can work a PM, can't you? To have someone else relay a negative message that you're perfectly capable of sending yourself is something a coward would do. Get over yourself. I shant be reading any more of the drivel that spews from your modem. (Hope that answers your question. ) (edited by HyperHacker on 12-28-05 04:03 AM) |

Originally posted by HyperHacker Now that's just retarded, I reported this situation, I want it fixed, I'm not staff though, unlike you, so it's not like I can actually fix Xkeeper's script (which is still running, but he said a few days...). Originally posted by Thayer Using context, my points only make more sense. You're in a terrible position HyperHacker to argue about this.
It's not an outdated definition, it's often used actually, especially where I live, it seems.
1. That harmless joke was more flammable than anything I've said. 2. If it was your website or your friend's website that was going to a non-existant URL for weeks and weeks, you'd be upset too. 3. He only said he would remove after this thread.
I really don't know what you're talking about.
Thank fucking god then, perhaps you won't respond, and this thread can actually be left alone until Xkeeper actually fixes the filter. Unlike you, the majority of my posts had some purpose. The really sad thing is most of the time when people say they won't be back, they come back anyway, which means I'll probably have to see more of your posts in the future, and probably in this thread too. |

Um...
Explicit 3 entries found for explicit. ex·plic·it (k-splst) adj.
Also: Explicit Main Entry: explicit Part of Speech: adjective Definition: specific Synonyms: absolute, accurate, categorical, certain, clean-cut, clear, clear-cut, correct, definite, definitive, direct, distinct, exact, exp Antonyms: ambiguous, confused, implicit, indirect, obscure, unclear, vague Source: Roget's New Millennium™ Thesaurus, First Edition (v 1.1.1) Copyright © 2005 by Lexico Publishing Group, LLC.

Originally posted by HyperHacker Maybe it's not true in yout part of the world, but everywhere I've been, if you use 'explicit' where you menan 'specific', people just look at you funny. Dictionaries can be 'wrong' in the sense that languages are constantly changing and vary from place to place. To say you masticated something for dinner is correct too, but how many people actually know that? Also, Thayer, I know I said I wouldn't bother with your posts, but I did scan to see your reply to my 'having someone else send your messages' remark.

I never asked Iggy or anyone else to say anything for me, he did it completely on his own. :o
[20:26:54] <@Nick> I want to help HyperHacker learn to read [20:26:58] <@Nick> but I don't know how I should go about suggesting it [20:27:08] <@Nick> perhaps I'll send him a private message [20:27:15] <@Nick> with the phone numbers for adult literacy classes [20:31:17] <@Joakim_von_Anka> I'll tell him myself |

Hyper Hacker, reading through the whole thread, I have to agree with Thayer; you're not making a load of sense.
To sum up what happened for you, the .net part was changed, and it made linking very annoying. When Xk said "Exploicit," he meant "explicit," which was obvious, because he said that it was a typo afterwards. Originally posted by HyperHacker Originally posted by HyperHackerIf you can't understand that post, then there's seriously something wrong with you here. Xkeeper's post was perfectly understandable from my point of view, which is just about as normal as yours. Originally posted by HyperHackerThere is a large difference between a flame and disapproval. Thayer posted a notification of annoyance and disapproval about the change of the domain name. It was not an attack, therefore it cannot, under any circumstances, be considered flame. Saying it's a flame is like saying a good review of a Nintendo game makes that person a Nintendo fanboy. I've said it once, I'll say it again; you're hardly making any sense. Such little things that you can't understand makes you look like a nine-year-old. This post is not a flame - it's a message of disapproval. (edited by Blue Warrior on 12-28-05 03:44 PM) |

Turn off your bitchiness, the board.acmlm.net filter (hey look) was removed a long time ago.
...edit: upon actually reading this thread, can someone please remind me why he's staff again? (edited by Xkeeper on 12-28-05 03:50 PM) |

Alright, I think we're almost done here. Only two things I feel I need to reply to this time.
Originally posted by Blue Warrior Now if people are going to complain that I supposedly don't read others' posts, wouldn't it be good for them to read others' posts? Specifically, the ones where I already addressed this. Always keep in mind that the Internet is worldwide. Language, however, is not. Maybe where you live, people use 'explicit' in place of 'specific'. If you do that anywhere I've ever been, people simply scratch their heads. To compare, what would you think if I said I had a lot of crap laying around? Around here, it's common that 'crap' = 'junk, while elsewhere it only means 'bad things' or 'poop'.
This is mainly a matter of opinion. Personally, when someone says things like "it's retarded" and "way to be lame", then that's leaning toward being a flame. If he'd said "I think it's retarded", that would be a different matter entirely. |

So... Because you live in a place (Canada, in fact... Nothing against it, just letting you know I noticed) where it's unusual for explicit to refer to anything but definition 3b by Elric's useful post, it was wrong for him to post that. That's your stance, right? That because it would be hard for some people to understand, he shouldn't have posted it?
Okay. Let's not post anything from now on if there's even the slightest chance that someone won't understand it. Right. I suppose I should have mentioned that I'm talking to HyperHacker here, just so as to not violate this rule I just uncovered. |

Way to bump a old thread, besides the issue is resolved. Yes Max is spiteful he lost a position, but there was reasons why certain people lost positions during last restaff...
