I agree with that, to the best of my memory, and I agree with your assessment of his actual English-speaking abilities.

But...

You seem to be forgetting all the snipes he made at Sailor Steve for no other reason that Sailor Steve once made the mistake of commenting on 4Para's grammar. From that moment on, it was as if 4Para had the green light to constantly pick on whatever Sailor Steve said. He was always brusing for a fight. If not a direct one with Sailor Steve, he'd often 'insert' himself into an argument between two other people (or preferably between Sailor Steve and someone else), by commenting on what one of them had said to try to get a response.

I didn't really see him as picking on me, or on anything I said. In fact, he did PM me several times to discuss, in his odd manner, what had been said and what I thought of it. While I never really considered him a friend, I also didn't think of him as a bad person or as a troll, though sometimes it's hard to be sure.

I also tried to explain why some people did have a negative reaction, and he seemed to take it in stride.

Quote:

He was, as I recall very rude to Sailor Steve. Sailor Steve is of course well known as a pillar of the community, so to have someone attack him was quite jarring and particularly notable, as it takes a 'special kind' of person to hold a grudge against the affable Sailor Steve.

Again you may be right, or you may be seeing it in a different light, but I never actually felt any real animosity from him or for him.

That said, it is hard to take someone seriously when you're not sure what they're trying to say, or if they're trying to say anything at all.

Amen to that brother.

One less Drama Queen is +1 to this forum.

I hope you left your wallet before exiting. I need the cash.

Reece · 09-01-10, 09:01 PM

I for one had nothing against 4Para whatsoever! I quite liked his "Old English gentleman's speech", I'm kinda sad to see him go!

Well I'm off for a jolly good cuppa tea!!

Task Force · 09-01-10, 11:32 PM

err, oddly enough, till now, I never knew he existed.

McBeck · 09-02-10, 01:42 AM

Too bad he left...I enjoyed the different posting style...it kept things different.

And we as a community should be open to people who are different.
That he PMed Steve after the "incident", tells me that he wanted to make sure that Steve was not mad at him. If he was a dramaqueen, he would have continued the drama in public. I think he is just more emotional than most of the people here.

How about starting a thread announcing that you're leaving the community?

Not an issue for me either way - he's on my ignore list anyway so I only get to "enjoy" his ramblings when others quote them (ie such as in this thread).

The ignore list is, IMHO, a great way to deal with Subsim "white noise" (and the best thing is, it doesn't judge the member either, so ignore one, ignore many, the choice is yours).

Venatore · 09-02-10, 03:32 AM

No wonder you never talk to me JScones

Damn ignore list

JScones · 09-02-10, 03:34 AM

Rest assured, only one person has made it so far. And you would be one of the last on my list.

To everyone, my fellow sub simmers, farewell, it has been a privilege.

To the subsim forum, thank you, (and look after my crew, there the best Ive ever had.) This is my last post thank you all, 4 para, steven, out.

I'm sorry, I think you have me confused with someone that gives a ****!
