First of all Coron,
I was not at all saying he was an idiot. I was saying he was addressing warlords as idiots. He was complaining that warlords were being immature.
Secondly,
I will say you are correct on quoting -
"There is no reason that you have given that he is truly inferior~" As I stated though, 'it seemed he was inferior.'
Lastly,
>that rank doesn't change mentality unless you aren't strong enough to handle
>the pressure
Precisely what I stated, but also I stated there was only a few that these postings are mostly direct to, And you know who they are.
>(though you stated rank has nothing to do with character) - About that quote. There's maybe a few people I -could- name that there rank has to do with their acts. Though those people are not strong enough to save there mentality that rank shouldn't matter, you should always act as kind as you were before.
One last thing to note - You misinterpreted my posting and I clearly did not stae he was an idiot. Just correcting him on saying that most or all warlords are pompous and all based upon rank seeking. He was misled somehow, and I was trying to help him to get a better mind set. Though, I see how you can misinterpret my posting. My apologies if you take it the wrong way. I was not trying to offend anyone.

"You're an example of what I'd call ' A lower ranking that complains and complains, but doesn't show he can be the better man.' I'm one of the lower rankings, but I don't pout about people being idiots. I think you're most definitely directing your words to a few warlords or barons. But we all know that little sum you are talking about. You'll probly name them yourself, but
as stated by Percival, they were already like that. Rank doesn't change
mentality unless you aren't strong enough to take the pressure. Some I must say of the higher rankings are title seekers which I am not. This game is all fun and game, though you my friend, seem to be inferior to the higher rankings. ~~ Words of advice. You do not have to acknowledge them, but just keep them in mind. And a few people may disagree with me, including yourself. "
Ummmm, e'er heard of joking? As far as I know Quizxs is just a big kidder.

With regards to the segments of your note:
"You're an example of what I'd call ' A lower ranking that complains and complains, but doesn't show he can be the better man.' "
Poor insult, cheap and used. No comment otherwise.
"I'm one of the lower rankings, but I don't pout about people being idiots. I think you're most definitely directing your words to a few warlords or barons."
Good for you, I just don't like idiots. And I'm not directing myself at any one person in particular, just the morons who cry, bicker, demean, moan, hop on bandwagons, and insult people for no reason.
"But we all know that little sum you are talking about. You'll probly name them yourself, but as stated by Percival, they were already like that. "
I never cared enough to remember their names. Yes, I am prejudiced against and Warlord or Baron who hasn't proven that they are considerate, compassionate life forms.
"Rank doesn't change mentality unless you aren't strong enough to take the pressure."
Well, then I'm talking about the weak.
"Some I must say of the higher rankings are title seekers which I am not."
I think it seems fair to go for the highest rank possible, for some reason.
"This game is all fun and game, though you my friend, seem to be inferior to the higher rankings."
In one sentence, you both admit that something is entertaining, but then try to decrease one's entertainment of that thing. Inferior?? I'm so hurt... help me.
When you can write a 100-word letter without a word of insult, write me. I prefer communicating on an equal level: i.e., Intelligent, considerate life form to intelligent, considerate life form. No, I'm not going to insult you by saying that you aren't intelligent. That would be hypocracy, something I let the judgemental go for.

"There is no reason that you have given that he is truly inferior, but instead called him an idiot for not knowing 'a well known fact'.. however, that fact was your opinion, as he has told his. So, simply on my opinion and my view of things, you called him an idiot and inferior to others of a higher rank (though you stated rank has nothing to do with character) without him saying a least bit
more towards you other than his opinion, which, although
harsh, should be digested and followed up by your opinion, not flame. I believe he has an open mind, Quizxz, or atleast hasn't given a juggernaut of proof against such, though, by calling him an idiot for such actions that only you have taken, I believe you're endangering your status as one who's open minded."
Coron, even when you disagree with someone, you still remain totally reasonable and logical. You are a role model to society.

Maybe you didn't say "You are an idiot," but you did say "You are inferior." Negative words and Stone Age insults aren't going to be taken well by most.
Misinterpretation? Insults lead to misinterpretation often. But that's ok. I don't get offended. I ignore weak insults, and laugh at good ones.

They were sitting in a semi-secluded area of the Inn, near a small fireplace. Lupton's arm encircled the woman's shoulder, and they spoke together in relaxed privacy.
Inevitably, the topic turned to the Duel of Swords, and then, to Lupton's retirement. Simini's eyes were serious as she asked her questions, watching his face intently as he answered. Then she nodded, and stretched up just enough to brush an airy kiss over his lips.
There was no more talk of dueling.
Hours later, they left the tavern and parted company under a sleepy spring moon.

Possessed? Get'm away, get'm away! Anyways, Quizxs basically summed up what I was getting at when we spoke briefly..you don't have to actually give someone the title of idiot to say it in other words, and saying someone seems inferior and someone is inferopr does not matter, if you don't give reason for the assumption or the statement. Blah, anyways, it was probably just a mix-up all 'round..I believe this cork needs a
full-time translator.
