The "Freeola Customer Forum" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
Not because of the what you were talking about, but the way you were talking about it.
It wasn't necessary, neither the provocation and the retaliation. If you don't believe what someone is saying, fine, don't believe it. If you really feel it's necessary to tell them this fact, then ask yourself why this is. If it's so obvious that they're telling lies, then other people will notice as well and so there is no issue; if other people don't react as though they're lying, then would you please at least CONSIDER the fact you might be wrong? Just because the opinion is yours, does not make it fact.
If you want to offer advice that you think isn't what the other person will want to hear, fine, do that. However, there is no need for you to sit and insult them at the same time. If you think they're looking at things all wrong, tell them why you think this. There is no need to call them an idiot and attempt to belittle them so you feel superior about yourself for a bit, not everyone thinks like you do. Offer advice, not orders.
And if someone tells you you're lying and insults you, don't go nuts and declare your intentions to perform lewd acts with their close family or some such thing, it's just a comment on the internet. In a way, talking about something on an open website is like standing in the middle of a shopping centre and saying exactly the same thing, some people will react favourably while others will oppose almost anything you say. Just as there might be concerned people willing to offer advice and help you, there will also be those who think you're just being a "stupid gay f****t" and will try and make you mad.
The primary difference is that online you don't have to look anyone in the eye while you're doing it and it can all be anonymous. It might be easier than talking to random strangers in person, but you have to accept that there will be the same responses. If you can't tell them that you're not lying without using vocabulary that would make your grandmother faint, ignore them. They're just people hiding behind their computer screens knowing that they'll likely never meet anyone they antagonise. If you don't react, they get bored and leave, there is plenty more sport available for them.
And if anyone wants to object my deleting that thread, feel free. But don't even try and argue that you have "Free speech" or some such crap and can say what you like. Free speech does exists on the internet, when you have your own website, hosted on your own server, in a country that doesn't object to the content. There are rules, there is a filter. The filter is not there to be ignored and worked around.
If you think that any of this rant is directed at you, then it might well be. Consider it a warning, nobody's been banned because of it.
I'm finished now, I'll go back to working.

A gimp is a bondage term for a person who dresses up in pvc and wears a mask and gets whipped. Dude you have to right to make allegations like that.

I'm not the kind of person to pick posts apart when they make no sense.
But.
Well, that made no sense.
Unless you view it as:
"If you're attempting to get yourself banned, don't bother, just leave."
Maybe it does make sense after all.

Good topic too. What's this about? :0)
Take the toys away and the kids will make new ones just to fight over.
Please, everyone, stop. People sometimes have difficulty growing. Some people don't even want to grow.
Don't attack people who are desperately trying to grow, and keep strength. There's no need for any of this. If you want to be banned, just leave. Otherwise, don't bother.

*Nods*
all this is way over my head, did someone get offended by something?
no offence but don't leave yourself so open to insults then, people WILL take advantage. this isn't the nice warm safe cozy comfort of a psychiatrists chair ....
If you're having problems, try to express them in a way so that people can help you rather than take the p*ss ...
take it easy
