Topic: On the LoS series

[Flame]

I'm personally rather fond of Sumac and his 'tude. I was never offended or bothered by it. Just part of his personality. I find it a unique character trait. It doesnt warrant all the flack it gets, IMO. He's not nearly as inflammatory as his bad rap would suggest. His snark is easily ignorable.

I tend to agree with him on some things, and I find his views (and CV reviews) to be good reads and stuff.

So you like a attitude that belittles and puts down others opinions?

Not trying to pick a fight, but that would actually say a lot about what type of person you yourself are in my opinion.

How anyone could be fond of that type of attitude is beyond me.

It doesn't help discussions, it only harms them and inflames them which is why Jorge has warned and banned him in the past.

I've just never really been bothered by it. I'm not the kind of person who easily gets upset. I'm very difficult to get upset. I just ignore or shrug those things off. Like I said, I just find it a part of his personality, and aside from it, he's alright. I've probably just seen worse, more blatantly inflammatory behavior on other forums, so it just doesn't seem that bad to me. (Or forums where nobody really cares about that kind of attitude and just roll with it)

Its great that you have such restraint, but a lot of other members do not and thus a attitude such as his will only make those members defensive for their views that are being belittled and thus the discussion will go downhill.

It has happened many times in the past, and should Sumac ever return with the same attitude it will again.


But alas, this is all offtopic, we should end this discussion now, I myself am about to go to bed and I'm sure Jorge will not like this constant discussion regarding a member he just banned.

He was warned in the past, and now he is banned, we really should drop it here.

>_> Weeeell, a little discussion on a banee isn't nessecarily a bad thing, but it is derailing the topic... (and I'd hate to get on Jorge's bad side)

I just want to say one thing. Someone mentioned me, but I want to state that I was always respectful and just expressing my opinions, which is the finality of the forum. I'm sure many users said what I said in previous months or years, but I'm relatively new here and I said what I felt, always without being disrespectful.
I've had some arguments, mainly one, with Sumac, but it was also within the limits of respect and tolerance of each other's opinions. Only once I could see that attitude they talk about, and I reacted, I think it was Jorge who jumped in, and so we continued to discuss respectfully, both of us, and in the end we calmly ended the debate, defending our points of view but accepting what each other thought.
A week after that, I was even reading his reviews, and talking with him about it.
I find them to be good reviews, by the way, though I may not agree with all of them, but they are good pieces of reading, and especially the N64 one was almost exactly what I think of the game.
I don't find him bothering or anything, I'm cool with him, and even, I believe he provides colour to the forum. If we all were saying the same things, this would be no fun, am I right? He also provides some good posting and materials in various topics.
I'm OK with him, his personal tastes and personality shouldn't be an obstacle in getting along together. All of us have personalities who can bother someone, but this is a nice community with all its variety and nice people.
I'm not with this judging Jorge's call, but I just wanted to clarify that I didn't do anything wrong and that I have nothing against him, but on the contrary.

-1ing me wont will stop me from protecting someone that didn't do anything wrong, only letting you know this. Now we can return to the main conversation of this topic please?

[Shiroi Koumori]

I won't be commenting on the posts above regarding the suspension/ban order.

Before the topic was relegated to that, there's this post.

I don't think even Dave would say such things and besides Cox does have an account here.

Eh? Really?!

[Maedhros]

My two cents on this matter: forums aren't based on democracy. IF Jorge wants to ban him, it doesn't even matter the motives (but he has them).

Sumac is/was the only person on this forum in my ignore list.

[Nagumo]

Eh? Really?!

Yes, it was just used for hype, though. I believe the only thing he did was say hi or something.

Oh yup. I found his name in the forums. 7 posts then he vanishes.

[Dark Nemesis]

hes done nothing worse than what happens on this forums on a daily basis

You are wrong, because most of his posts are insults to others.

[Flame]

Oh yup. I found his name in the forums. 7 posts then he vanishes.

So that's him... Huh. he joined after me, but I somehow missed all his posts. Then again, considering it was like 7 uneventful posts... In a Lords of Shadow thread, that's not surprising.

Also, I think I tried to avoid the thread till I had bought and beaten LoS too... Hhhrrnng... bad memory... Can't remember... 404...

That doesnt mean that its really him, anyone could create a account with his name for trolling.

actually, at the time of him joining, I believe he said something about visiting the Castlevania forums in 1 of his tweets or interviews.

That is why it was believed to be him since this is the biggest castlevania forum on the net.
