"No offense but...."
 
I hate this statement more than anything. Well, that's a lie, but I really hate this statement. It's as if every nasty, snide comment the person has to say is well-justified to the point where it's divine. It's a pussy-way out to avoid confrontation, and worst of all, it's well-embraced by society. An average man would have slugged a guy in the face if a total stranger went up to him and said "Your mom is fat." But if the same stranger went up to the same average man and said "No offense but your mom is kinda chubby.", then probably they would continue on a friendly conversation. It's the same ****in' message, but they end up to be chums who enjoy sodomizing each other.

Moral: Use that statement and you turn gay.

Spirit 11-30-2007 08:35 PM

wth? doh!

Is this spam - or do you want someone to actually justify that phrase?

Tadiakichi 11-30-2007 08:37 PM

No offense but you're an idiot.

This is a rant. And if my rants are spam, then everyone's opinions of life is garbage.

Zwivix 11-30-2007 08:38 PM

-Spam sense tingling again-

What is there to discuss?!

Lol, no wonder nobody wants to give you a hug...

Your connection with reality is very thin. You can't give hugs over the internet.

And if you can't find a well-placed comment for or against the current issue in this thread, then GTFO and find a simpler thread for your simple mind.

Spirit 11-30-2007 08:45 PM

Aren't you also the idiot that started the blacklist thread?

Thought so.

What the hell did I do to you?

Guess even though you said no offense, I took offense.

Zwivix 11-30-2007 08:46 PM

Wow, wow, wow. Calm the -insert random cuss word here- down!

I was just saying that who doesnt like the phrase "No offense but"

And you yourself made a thread I dont know where saying that nobody payed attention to you and didnt give you a hug...So I guess you just showed how fake you are. And well that also might give you an explanation on why people dont seem to care enough to give you a "hug"

Spirit 11-30-2007 08:49 PM

We need to just ignore the title thread and turn this into spam so a mod will move it there and then it will be lost and forgotten.

He opened the floor for a discussion then has flamed anyone who responded to it.

Already done I did it the moment I read his first post ^^

Btw here is the thread I was talking about click here

Spirit 11-30-2007 08:55 PM

So Zwivix, what timezone do you live in? Will you be playing tonight? I am hoping to get my fighter to level 30 finally. Then tomorrow, I will be on my Mage, who is my main character.

Valentines 11-30-2007 08:57 PM

Atleast now you're onto one of my points.

And you should really research your sources before you accuse someone and declaring it as true. It really makes you look like an ass.

You failed to grasp the main idea of that thread. If you would stop fixating on the single basis you conjured yourself, then maybe, maybe, you can finally see what I was trying to do.

In all fairness, I suggest for you all to stay on topic. It really can't be that hard.

Spirit 11-30-2007 09:02 PM

Who the hell are you calling an ass? I sure hope it is yourself. I asked a question. I answered my own question. If I was wrong, then I was wrong, it does not make me an ass. What makes you an ass is the fact that you opened up a discussion and then flamed the two people who tried to discuss the stupid topic anyways.
Find something better to do.

I think that was in due order, considering both of you did not respond to this thread and instead tried to shoot it down. I guess we're both asses, because you assumed I was the idiot who made the blacklist thread. And as the popular saying goes, "Assume makes an ass out of you and me."

Spirit 11-30-2007 09:10 PM

My initial post was in no way shooting this thread down. I actually had some very good arguements for it. You are the ass that turned it into a flaming war.

Done.

Tadiakichi 11-30-2007 09:16 PM

You have a very strange way of showing interest then.

I guess it's all a matter of perspective, because in my opinion I did nothing wrong, just protecting what I considered to be a thread of open discussion, but you also think you're completely innocent. And while we're on the topic of justification, just posting "Done." does not accomplish anything, it's just a stupid way of saying, "I am right, your opinions don't matter."

Old Warrior 11-30-2007 09:18 PM

calm it down guys- this ain't no war zone. Go kill your selves somewhere where no one is around...

Tadiakichi 11-30-2007 09:20 PM

This isn't flaming, it's debating. And did you ever try fighting with yourself? You get ****ed over either way. It's messy.

Zwivix 11-30-2007 09:21 PM

I'm not trying to shoot it down all I was saying was it was in the wrong section! I reported this topic and said that it was in the wrong section.

If you calling me an ass, for just stating my opinion on the topic (saying that there is nothing to discuss, how can someone say that they hate that statment).

Whatever I think we should just leave him to rot here on this thread...I should also report him for using foul language all the time.

Tad, why did you post this thread in the first place if you didn't want people to state their own opinion...

WTF!!! I wouldn't normally say anything here, but YOU are the idiot ( and you are messing with my buddy). What does this have to do with Fiesta, because Fiesta related posts belong in this section anything else belongs in spam. That was her point you ass. How old are you 10? I am going to stop now.


EDIT: crap you people post too fast

Rightclaw 11-30-2007 09:38 PM

Guys, this is a perfectly valid topic to be put in General Discussion. Cut out that spam/flamebaiting, and get back on topic.

O-mie 11-30-2007 10:19 PM


Saying "No offense" is implying that they don't really intend to offend you. Sometimes the truth offends people, therefor they have to say it to make it clear to you that they intend no offense while trying to speak the truth.

I've said it a lot to people, though I don't recall saying "No offense but your mom is fat" or whatever. Its not a very big deal, so I don't even remember what I said it in conjunction with, or who I said it to.

In all reality, it depends on if the person is actually sincere about not meaning offense like I am when I say it, or if they're just morons looking to pick a fight behind a verbal shield, like saying something such as "No offense, but you're an idiot."

The end~

Yosei 11-30-2007 10:21 PM

I hate that statement too. My friend once asked me to make him a wallpaper for his PC, so I did. When I gave it to him, he was like "No offense, but this is crap." You know when saying that, you're going to offend the person, its personal to them, they made it. So its useless saying "no offense"
I know they're trying to lighten it and look more kind. But sometimes, it just doesn't work lol.

O-mie 11-30-2007 10:25 PM


Hm, if he believe it to be crap, he could say something a little more constructive. "No offense but it doesn't tickle my fancy. Perhaps doing this or adding this or removing this would make it better."

Constructive critique is win.

Most of their opinion is in the form of idiocity which goes off tangent.

If you read carefully, I didn't call you an ass. And your opinion had nothing to do with my topic and obviously you have nothing to say on the issue, so there's no place here for you. You could leave me to rot here or whatever, but I think that it would be best if you get the hell out of my plain sight.

That would be best, because you're only hurting yourself. First off, this is "General Discussions", meaning I can post whatever **** I want as long as it invokes a discussion and it's general, which this thread clearly is. Secondly, I'm glad you're standing up for your friends, but calling me an idiot with a false basis is just way off base. Thirdly, I'm old enough to grow pubes out of my pubes.

Sometimes, people say "No offense but..." naturally, which really irritates me. Hell, even I did it a few times without thinking about it. People get so accustomed to it (especially the shy ones) since it obviously avoids the crap that's supposed to follow it. The thing that really gets on my nerves is that some people actually use it as a conversation starter. Like, "No offense, but why are you so gay?. That used to be really common a while back. But meh, maybe it's just the people I hang around with that's weird.

O-mie 11-30-2007 10:53 PM


Maybe you're just making a mountain out of a mole-hill =p

Also I don't condone you calling spirit an idiot either. If you want to have a discussion, I would suggest keeping it civil and restrain yourself from opposing people with differentiating opinions.

Tadiakichi 11-30-2007 10:57 PM

I thought people would see the humor in it, but apparently I failed. But that's okay, because people get really constructive when they're pissed off. (Defensive is what most people call it, but allthesame anyways.)

O-mie, you do realize that a half-baked accusation is not the same as an opinion, right? I don't care if you oppose my thread (that way discussions are made), but if you call it stupid or spam, I will in turn call you an idiot.

O-mie 11-30-2007 10:59 PM


Mm, still, sarcasm isn't always visible in text. =3

Lilian 11-30-2007 11:12 PM

I have a funny feeling this thread could have been grounds for discussion, before it was wrecked after the very first post.

Now I don't really feel like writing anything about it, so suffice it to say, Tad, that you get a point from me for creating a topic that would potentially have made me reply in-depth, should it not have been spammed before I got there.

oh well, I am now adding to the same spam.

Tadiakichi 11-30-2007 11:16 PM

It's the thought that counts.

You'll have another chance soon. Rants are something I'm chock-full of.

Then act like it, and not child who can hide behind the internet.

Also when she said "done" she meant she was done with you and your thread not that the thread was done. Obviously she can't end the thread. DUH!
