you can see for yourself "Message edited by spook24 on 07-28-2008 at 03:37:31 PM" that was what 2 day ago?

and really the insults started with you

lack of knowledge(otherwise called stupid/dolt)

Since you claim to not be young - calling me a kid in a way i guess

so you should rephrase what you said about the insults buddy.

--------
if i go back right away and edit something its a quick edit where my spelling/grammar/punctuation may look weird or wrong for that matter.

"I'd long ago given up any expectation of you actually posting a proper reply to my initial post, but simply repeating the rather lame Websters comment that led me to post in the first place is a spectacularly dull effort. "

good i dont expect anything from anyone to begin with and get of my back about it. and if it is that lame then send me a PM about it I would of been a little nice and wouldnt of kept on posting on this thread. so in a way your the one to blame for all the spelling drama.
 
Yes, I claimed that you had a lack of knowledge regarding the use of "your" and "you're". And I stand by that comment, since you repeatedly got them wrong, which cannot be attributed to typing errors. I'm sorry if you took this to be a personal attack, but I don't my comments were unduly unfair.

I said "since you claim to not be young", because that's exactly what you had claimed! My next sentence was to suggest that the older users of the forum could (maybe should?) set a good example to the younger ones, so your age was relevant.
 
lack of knowledge is the nice way to say someone's dumb/stupid. and really it could be a typo 'your and youre' ok the 'r' and the 'e' key are right next to one another. who to say that i didnt forget to press the 'e' after i was done typing that word. it happens to alot of ppl out there. thats nothing new.

"since you claim to not be young" ok how do i explains this...hmmm oh in other words your calling me a lair. (thats not a question thats a statement)

speaking of grammar what does this mean?



but i dont my comments????

maybe(???) "I'm sorry if you took this to be a personal attack, but I don't. My comments were unduly unfair."


but then again i have a "lack of knowledge" of these things.
 
Wrong. Stupidity is a lack of intelligence - I never accused you of that. One can be ignorant simply because you've never been told/explained something. I've already encountered someone on these forums who got "your" and "you're" wrong simply because it had never been explained to them properly - I thought that may have been the case with you. I was very careful to say "lack of knowledge" and not "stupid".

The "e" excuse doesn't really wash, since "you're" also has an apostrophe. Also, if it was simply a typo, you'd only get it wrong sometimes, not consistently with the same error on the same word. You managed to get the "re" at the end of "nature" correct, for example. And you can't really attribute typing "could of" instead of "could have" to a typing error, can you?


I also wasn't calling you a liar. I have no way of knowing one way or the other, so I was relying on your claim - which I took on faith.

Hence, because you had claimed to Loftus that you weren't young, I was saying "since that is the case (i.e. since you are not young), shouldn't you be setting a better example?". You even agreed, saying that you'd hope younger members would learn from your mistakes. You clealry didn't take it as an insult at the time - I suspect you're now going through the earlier posts to try and find something in my first post.


Finally, my comment is clearly gibberish - the word "think" is missing. I would have corrected it had I noticed it!
 
He's 100% right, everyone else is wrong. Period. He couldn't grasp, and I DON'T mean this as an insult, there's no difference between a projector, an LCD, a plasma, a CRT, or a 3" black and white Sony Watchman. The thread had long since been derailed since it was about GTA4 coming to the PC. Not which was better, console or PC.
 


I feel the same way. you can talk to yourself about it from now on.

"Also, if it was simply a typo, you'd only get it wrong sometimes, not consistently with the same error on the same word."

I knew you would say that. i threw that in there so you would. like I said i can careless about my grammar/spelling/punctuation(more or less lack of sleep not knowledge). this isnt paying my bill so i dont have to be professional. and yes i can type how i like and what i like. who are you to tell me other wise or to tell me what to do.

" I thought " assumptions. this just make you a hypocrite.

"There are several ways to define intelligence. In some cases,(like this one) intelligence may include traits such as creativity, personality, character, knowledge, or wisdom." - i choose all of the above as you are criticizing my creativity, personality, character, knowledge, and wisdom.

lack of knowledge; lack of intelligence - similar not the same. but lack of knowledge is calling someone stupid. just for future references.

"I also wasn't calling you a liar. I have no way of knowing one way or the other, so I was relying on your claim - which I took on faith." - well you did and your "claim" should of been more clear.

all in all at the end of the day when all this is said and done with, who really cares? you will still try to run over me on what i say, think, or feel. thats a fact. its only making it worse for the thread. thats a given. im going to be the bigger man and quit while im ahead.

so we can agree to disagree.


 


Agreed with both of you. One of my friend's little brother is 7 years old and plays halo 3....
 
wow.....this is a god damn public forum about a video game. You guys are wasting our time with all your ****. please take your childish immature arguing somewhere else. If a post doesn't have something to do with the forum, it is a waste of my time, as well as everybody elses. Nobody gives a rats ass about anything besides what the forum is for!!!! My god, i am sorry that i am being so pissy but what the hell is wrong with you? Have some respect for other users.

thanks for your time.

Well put. I've seen this thread popping up every couple of days and finally decided to check it out in hopes of finding news about GTA4 for PC. But instead I have to wade through pages of childish bickering about spelling and grammer. Now I'm not one to say I've haven't been in my far share of message board shouting matches or flame fest but I say it was about 1996 when I realized how pathetic it was to argue about spelling and grammer.
Anyways is there any real news about this game coming to the PC? I've always assumed it would but only have marginal interest so I really haven't kept up on it.
 
^ , sorry to quote myself, I didn't read all through the flame war either. It appears that the listing referenced in the link has been taken down, but I have a feeling it was legit and was only taken down after Rockstar complained. Anyway time will tell.


 


I have only pirated photoshop cs2 and hypercam2 because they arent worth the money, hypercam2 is just to remove the "unregistered hypercam2" in corner and photoshop cs2 is a lot of money
 


Sorry,, I would have been earlier but was out at work.. I got home saw the email and .. Ahem .. Jumped for joy..

Good to hear that Rockstar are one of the few still making dedicated pc games as apposed to all the ported crap from other people...


Simple answer is dont buy ported games from the toy consoles..
 


a little late? we already know...😉
