Maybe should have been moved to "Off Color"

An "off color" joke is one which might be considered not suitable for young audiences.

Because it *was* off-topic...

Maybe so, just wanted all players to get a good chuckle, I mean cmon, it's as cute and innocent as you can get, and btw, I heard that one from a nine year old nephew. He doesn't realize what it really means, and any kid who would has issues. Oh, and do we have anyone playing this game under 12.

It doesn't matter how innocent it was, it doesn't matter how funny it was. The subject of the topic was not of GalCiv2 or any GalCiv games and it's clearly a Off-Topic thread, so it's position in the forum has been corrected. If people want a good chucle they can go over to the Off-Topic forum.

Well, as I stated, I didn't think that anyone read those, as I know I don't. But if it bothers you so, maybe you should get out more and broaden your horizons alittle, ya know. I was merely trying to share a lighthearted joke with my fellow players. One way or another this whole site is about GC2. So to anyone else I may have upset by posting a simple joke or two(which you all know I have never done)I humbly apologize, I just wanted to share. And as for you Galaxy613, I would never apologize to someone who seems to be seriously in need of a personality upgrade, maybe from cold fish to luke warm rock perhaps?

Evil, I think you need to calm down, just because no one is agreeing with you doesnt mean you need to get insulting.
Even Kryo said it "*was* off topic" I'm sorry you're unhappy it got put some where you didnt want it, but really thats where it belongs.

I can't vouch for anyone else's reading habits, but I just look at the recent posts list. So categories are pretty irrelevant to me personally, I read or skim every thread regardless where it's at. But it is part of my job to shuffle threads around to where they belong if I happen to notice one is in the wrong category (which largely involves moving things to the OTF that got put elsewhere, and shuffling things in or out of Bug Reports as the case may call for).

We do know that you've irritated the hell out of a lot of people though. You were off-topic, it got moved off-topic. Those are the rules. Don't try and argue them, ESPECIALLY based on your personality, or the personality of others.

Because frankly, you're argument would be about as good as the speed of sound moving through space.

Heh. My joke was better. Crap, but better.

? Personality? Do you know me? What do you base this comment off of? Because I spoke the truth with regards to a game that wasn't working right? Did I address these complaints to you? And the sound in space? HA! Is that the best response to an otherwise highly debatable topic? I get a little bit pissed off when I'm in here and come across abusive assholes with nothing better to do than slam people because of their opinions. That is what a forum is for. I forgot how some of you live your life based on this website and nothing more. There. Shall I start bashing people? You guys can be a vicious bunch when it comes to being in here. I always looked at this site as a place to voice game experiences, opinions, and general banter among those of us who play (and love) this game. Sometimes this doesn't appear to be the case. I enjoy sarcasm/debate/and general nastiness in the name of good fun. But you guys seem to want to get more personal, more ignorant. Definitely closed minded individuals. I guess I could always just cease to log on, but that would be unfair to myself to punish myself because of others. Some people do post intelligent comments that are worth reading. Others post crap. I fall inbetween pending on my mood, but I never stoop to the pond scum level like some of you do. This was all just supposed to be fun and entertaining. The attitude levels in here however are drastically taking away from that once enjoyable atmosphere. Enough is enough people. Grow up. You know who you are. And the rest of you know who they are too.

It looks like you were the one who started abusing people.

Only after provoked Kid Charming, only after provoked. 
And my response has nothing to do with the joke post. Read around and tell me that people in here aren't ignorant. Now being ignorant in a friendly, joking manner, that's all cool. But to be nasty for no reason, and not expect to get a reply, well that is just stupidity.

If you have a problem with another user, take it in private. There's an email option on the forum, so use it. Airing your arguments publically can only lead downhill.

That's subjective. Truth is, in today's society if you tell enough of those in the workplace it can end up in court.

btw, I heard that one from a nine year old nephew.


oh, then it really must be cute and innocent.

of wait....
He doesn't realize what it really means

Yet the post referred to {#7} was no more than a lengthy #4

I'm curious as to where the provocation lies in #4 & #7, and if it exists why was only one told to do some horizon broadening?

You know what is funny, when posts turn into flame wars.
