This day does not belong to one man, but to all. Let us all share together in the days of peace...

I bet you didn't know you share the same birthday with 2 other people who voted "Not my problem", Dostoprimechatelnosti... You, Moto the Wise and Sal y Limon are all born November the 30th. Isn't that the coolest coincidence ever!?!

Nope, I think it is merely the forum's default birthday setting.

No one is forcing you to do anything, which is painfully evident in your continued use of capital letters. However, you will learn that there are consequences to doing what you're doing. Feel free to type however you want. Just be prepared to have people ignore your posts as a result.

To be honest a mass ignoring would have been a lot easier in the first place rather then going through this whole charade.

Because:
a) it's annoying, as many people have shown, and I should've thought it'd be common courtesy and decency to accomodate others when what you're aggravates them and causes very little or no inconvenience to you and:

b) you said you would. You expressely promised that if a hundred people signed a petition you would. And not only did you change the rules of that petition halfway through, after it was done you admitted you never had any intention of changing it anyway.

I think its kind of like a personality trait and therefore you should continue to do it if you want. Its not like youre typing in all caps. If you like doing it, then do it. Screw what people think. If they chose not to "like" you because you capitalize every first letter, then theres a bigger problem at hand.

I'm glad to see you heeded my advice about the sig.

I'm not trying to make you conform, that is not what my vote was about. I'd just like to be able to read your posts without making a relatively big effort just for the physical act of reading them.
Look, up until a few weeks ago I slurred my typing horribly, not because I can't spell, but because it is rather hard for me to type correctly. Nevertheless, I'm making the effort now because I realized how hard that made reading my posts, just acting upon common sense and courtesy, I say. Oh, and maybe that little voice in my head wanting my posts to get read.

So, please refrain from flaming, and reconsider whether you might want to use some common courtesy as well. This is not about subjugating you, it's about actually wanting to read your posts.

A response to Anarchic Conceptions from a few pages back.

As to the issue of my name, well, I apologize if the term Veritas bothers you. I find the word within itself to be nice sounding, generally soft. A term that emphasizes my ideals, a term that defines and seperates me. Is that not what a name truly is meant to be? As such, if you request I will change my callsign, though fear not, another, perhaps less applicable, one will arise from it. I am sorry if my naming is offensive once more.

Another comment for the people here. Why do you insult him? You have won, so will you win honorably? Why do you attack his character, his beliefs, his personality? Have you no respect for your opponents? If you are trying to enforce maturity upon Ritlina, perhaps you should look to yourselves as well.

Or we could treat him like the forums token Sentinelese, and put an exclusion zone around him.

For his own good of course. His writing style represents a unique 'cause' and it would be unfair to foist upon him our western standards. To stop him submiting to the humiliation of writing normally, which would destory his unique cause in the process, we should stop all contact with him.

And get the Indian Navy to enforce sucha policy.

For his own good, of course.

So you'd be perfectly okay if I put every post in size seven font so I'd be sure everyone read it, right?

Also, Do You Beat Up On Everyone Who You See Wearing Something You Don't Like, Because You Know It's Optional What They Wear?
a) Come on, chill. Few, if any, are "beating up" on you. The majority is just telling you that they don't like your typing style.

b) No. I wouldn't care, as much as I wouldn't (and don't) care about the many typing styles floating around General, as long as they don't make the posts being overly hard to read. A more proper analogy would be that guy in my one class who wears a gask mask to class, which does indeed make it horribly hard to talk to him, and yes, I ignore him / refuse to talk to him because of his choice of wearing that mask when talking.

A response to Anarchic Conceptions from a few pages back.

As to the issue of my name, well, I apologize if the term Veritas bothers you. I find the word within itself to be nice sounding, generally soft. A term that emphasizes my ideals, a term that defines and seperates me. Is that not what a name truly is meant to be? As such, if you request I will change my callsign, though fear not, another, perhaps less applicable, one will arise from it. I am sorry if my naming is offensive once more.

It doesn't bother me in the slightest. I just wasn't sure if the connection with Robert Kilroy-Silk was intentional or accidental.

It is not "censoring" you, as we are not stopping you from saying anything you want. I refuse to believe that you cannot stop easily, unless you actually DO type this way for essays and the like. Capitals punctuate and stacatto words. It destroys the flow, and makes it needlessly complicated and difficult to read. I don't want to have to take extra time to figure out what you are saying, that is rediculous.

We asked you to change, you said you would, and then decided not to. Therefore, it is perfectally reasonable and logical that people may now block you or refuse to read your posts.

no, because it is poitlessly difficult to read. We asked, and you now know that atleast 100 people are annoyed by that typing style. You won't change, so now they have their ways of dealing with it.

Though looking back it appears I have all bases covered since each time I wrote "Petulence gets you fame" I used a different spelling.
Yes, I think the one is American. Not sure. British text-books tend to use petulence.

There's a reason why I haven't voted.

See, I'm sure I've seen some of Ritlina's posts around. But I didn't even notice the caps thing until it was pointed out.

Now, I can't miss it. Every time I see Ritlina's posts, all I can think about are the caps. It really takes away from the actual context of the post.

But is that Ritlina's fault? Or is it the fault of those who pointed it out as an annoyance? I certainly understand the annoyance. But I don't know if it annoys me because of the caps, or merely because it's all I see now. One of these is Ritlina's fault. The other is my own. I'm not prepared to vote until I know the answer to that.

But I'd like to point out that most of us have our quirks when we post. There are some people's posts that I can tell who wrote them without even looking at the name. I am willing to bet that most of you can tell mine right away too. I can get used to it.

On the other hand, I wonder why Ritlina does it. Could it really be habit? Or is it an attempt to annoy people and get a rise out of them? That wouldn't be mush different than trolling, really. Punctuation Trolling.

I'm just not prepared to make that call. But I understand why others might be.

You can ignore words on a monitor. It's not the same at all.

It's the exact same intent, though. Don't tread on me and all that other happy horseshit. Are the people blaring Megadeth at 3am just standing up for their personal preferences against the majority opinion, or are they assholes?

I've had enough of this. Ritlina; you are showing no signs of stopping a habit that has annoyed a lot of people, despite being asked to repeatedly. As such, you are going on my Ignore list. I can't be bothered reading capitalised posts anymore. I can't stop you from posting like that, but I don't have to suffer it.

And I never thought I'd end up Ignoring someone for this. Only in General:rolleyes:

No. Pathetic would be if I compared him to Hitler, Terrorist is risibley inane and exaggerated. To put it clearly here is a line:
<------------------------------------------------------------------>
Hitler___Terrorist_______Rational argument____Good Analogy

Anyway, a better analogy:
I like to listen to Rammstein, and I like to "sing" along (my command/pronunciation of German is passable). I understand that not everyone wants to hear this, and so I only do so when no one else is in the room.
Were I to walk onto a subway with an mp3 player and start belting out a chorus of "Amerika", I'd get kicked in the shins and for good reason. Life is already Hell, there is no reason for people to make it an annoying Hell.
Ahh! Fellow Rammsteinien! Jawohl!

Then, if necessary, he'll make you stop.

OMG, I so have that. I was told I was dyslexic though. Is it the same thing?

Nah, Dyslexia is eyes to brain, this is brain to hands, we got stuck with the retarded cousin....do you have bad handwriting and/or hold your pencil weird?
