Who the hell do people on GameRanger think they are?

Today I had a very interresting talk with Serpes of the Network. He insisted that I vote for John Kerry for president. Well to make a long story short. Kerry has a long history of voting against military presents in other countries. He was elected into the U.S. Senate in 1984 and started his anti-war statements in the Senate there after. He has afected my life in ways no one on GR can imagine. I was in the USO club in Naples Italy when it was bombed by terrorists. I was not physically injured, but I have visions trapped in my head no one would want to see. He voted against having higher securty at locations that service men and women gather. That day in April 1988, I lost a friend and saw may others scared for life including myself. Because of this, my thoughts may not be very clear at this time. (thanks Serpes) The GameRanger community should remember not everyone signed up is in high school or not old enough to have served for there country.
Serpes told me to "get a job", after finding out I do WWII re-enacting to honor the fallen soldiers and veterans of past wars. I told him "what better way to honor fall soldiers than the portray one". He replied "yeah I can, let it end". Well for verterans today, it still has not ended. These brave men and women served and died for there countries. What have the general community of GR done for theres? Execpt bash the governments of their countries.
Granted Serpes, you did not know I am a disabled veteran. Still your personal attack on my typing skills and grasp for the english language, were uncalled for.(asking me if I was an immagrant) You opened images I have tucked away for years. (again, thank you very much) No one asked you to join the posts between Joka and myself. If you have nothing nice to say maybe you should have stayed out of the convo.
I'm not looking for anything from GR, just for people to think before lashing out in a public forum. Stop the attacks on peoples personal activities. If they are being an asshole, then by all means, fire away, they deserve it.
Damn people, this a gaming community, not real life experiences. Get a grip on it.

p.s. When was the last time you thanked a veteran?

Serpes had better appologize - at the
least
.
It's one thing to disagree, get angry, and say stupid or cruel things. It's something else to bash a person just because you disagree. And when confronted with the reality of your cruelty, to keep wacking away.
Serpes: you are a irresponsible bastard. Thanks for giving truth to the negativity presumed of liberals.
Static: thanks for getting out there and sacrificing for us all.

That's cool. I've thought about getting involved in WWII or Civil War Re-enacting. Where do you do it and how does one get involved?

This Serpes character seems like a grade "A" internet asshole.
Anywho, I seem to thank a lot of veterans whenever I walk by the VA hospital here in Westwood, many seem to genuinely appreciate it when you take time out of your day to thank them and talk with them a little bit.

Static, I think you are at least twice the age of Serp. Now, I'm not defending him in the least, as I completely agree with everything you said. What I feel you have failed to realize is that some people just say things to irritate others. Some people just say things to get a "rise" out of others. Some people say things that they have absolutely no clue of the subject of what they are speaking. I think you have encountered at least all of these scenarios with Serp. He's a young kid with little to know life experience in the real world. He wasn't even in kindergarten when the Gulf War was being fought. In fact, he probably wasn't even born yet when the USO in Italy was targeted. I hope that those little facts give some perspective to this situation without making light of it.
Just avoid people that annoy you or who you wish not to read a single line of text that they type into GR. I personally have 114 people blocked in GR, and most of them are just people I frankly do not care to deal with or listen to on any level. It keeps things nice and unstressful. Remember Uffy, I'm not coming down on you, I'm just saying that you are better than this and that you should just sweep it under the carpet. There's no use arguing with someone who has made up their mind. It will only serve to frustrate you more.

Wow! I don't have a single person blocked. Not even Typhy. When somebody starts shit with me (which isn't very often, come to think of it), I just ignore them. But what Serpes did was definitely uncalled for.
There's just some people in life I would like to meet on the street. Then I could show them my neat neck-snapping trick I learned in the Army.

Hello all,
My post was not to draw sympathy from anyone. It was to let the community know how out of control it is. People should keep their mouths shut on topics they have no clue about. What gives these people the right to lash out at people they don?t know? Making fun of them, and belittling to the point that it makes them stir up memories they are trying to put away. The whole thing started when Serpes stuck his nose somewhere it didn?t belong.
I do see your point, but still, that horrible day exploded into my again after he told me to ?let it end?. For friends and family of the victims it will NEVER END. The only thing we can do is remember the good times and try and forget that terrible day.
You said that he is probably half my age? Ignorance of history is no excuse for his behavior. Nor is it for anyone. Politics have no business being displayed in the main chat areas on GameRanger. If people wish to display support for a candidate, they should open a chat room and talk in there. I?m sure members from other country?s could care less about our government.
Again point taken, but people should think twice before spewing crap out of their mouths.

I agree with yah static....alot of people on GR are ignorant and out of place. For example, those people that ban eachother from servers. Its a waste of time and it ruins the game. I come on GR to play games and escape the reality of life, but those who ban me from servers for owning them just kills the fun of it. Then there are those on GR who talk endlessly without meaning and thats retarded also. Bah too much stuff to talk about. To make a long story short i agree with u static.

I hope I wasn't implying that it was. If anything, I was trying to say that he's not out in teh real world. He's probably still under the rule of his ignorant parents, but that doesn't mean he's going to be like this forever. He's a hot head most times, and definitely does not want to hear the views of others. I can't wait until he gets out of high school. If he doesn't join the Klan or get the shit kicked out of him at a truck stop, he might grow up to be a civilized person.

And that's exactly why I have some many people blocked. I mean yeah, I can ignore it, but putting forth the effort to ignore GR spam is far more effort than simply blocking the fools.

Not trying to bitch here, but you sound just as immature as they are when you say things like that.

Seems you can't take a fucking joke either. Oh, and why don't you fucking sign in. And lastly, you would care about my fucking skills if you met me on the street.
Now go eat shit and die like a good little bitch.
Now then, learn to take a fucking joke! What I just wrote is my way of joking around with you!

Payne,
SK lasted about 2 hours after I joined. MaD, well, I signed up on a Friday and following a cb against SSI on Sunday evening I left to join them. Sorry to bring up old times.
The rest of you,
OMG this is exactly what I'm talking about. You guys managed to turn this post into a flame in 24 hours. NJ, GG, well done. Try putting a sock in it for a bit and think before typing.
***BTs_static:points up at the subject line.......................................................................
Plain and simple. No posting unless you have something relevant to say, please.
Thank you and good night,
static
