Thanks... but I don't get the relation with this thread...
"the phrase is mainly used to aggravate another user during arguments about physical fitness."
unless.. it's being used as
"the phrase is mainly used to aggravate another user during arguments."

Gil, I'mma sum it up for ya, in meme format:

Deal with it. 8]

See, this is a forum that Tiberius created pretty much for free. I assume that the majority of the rules on the site were instated by him, and likely by anyone who helped him with it. The fact that a consensus has to be reached [so it seems] by moderators and admins about a decision to warn and/or ban someone is a fair way of determining whether or not the decision should be carried out to do so.

Now, see, if you were, say, a monthly donator, at least your words would have some point to them other than sounding like obnoxious snark because you could make the case that you were concerned that the forum you were helping to keep alive was not going in a direction you much cared for.

But get this, your name is blue, not purple. You haven't donated anything, so your place to complain about the rules is somewhere in the realm of "nowhere." You don't like it, then either deal with it or leave, those are your options. Being a snarky obnoxious brat and complaining about something that doesn't even affect you anyways? That, too, can be an option, if you want to just devolve into being a troll whom nobody likes and nobody really says anything to.

Personally I almost want to petition the admins for a new rule that states "no crying about the rules; valid complaints can be made if there is a point to them but bitching about them is not allowed" since this isn't the first time this has come up. RaphielDrake comes to mind.

I have been stalked by someone before, it ended badly for both parties. so I am sensitive to any type of threat on the internet.

I am just saying, if you try anything I will sue you.

Creed, whether you donate or not has nothing to do with whether your complaints will be heard as valid. It is the complaint itself that needs to hold merit, not the complainer. The only reason why the staff ignores him, from my experience, is that his complaints are retarded. Chuckles said he was going to kill people and fight people who defended those people to the death. Bottom line. He stays fucking gone. At any rate, this one probably really isn't up for discussion, but most stuff is, as evidenced by the ridiculous amount of shit the staff took over the April Fool's fiasco last year.

Maybe we can raise more money for the site by selling "indulgences".

No, no, bad paladin for even suggesting that. Sorry.

Wat. Forum is 100% free.

He can be Ghengis-fucking-Khan, and his words would have *exactly* as much 'meaning' as if he donated 200,000 USD.

Creed, you're being colorist

... I stand against that petition, whiners may not be the most enjoyable forum members, but they facilitate change and shake things up.

As it turns out, the answer to the OP's question is: "Because you're an enormous douchnozzle."

Any complaints against indulgences should be nailed to the door.
