Thanks for the helpful and constructive comment, oh friendly-as-always-CDZ-admin, and nice to see you obviously do not.

FYI, I was aware of Arghis's internet problems, and the location of the SP-save...

Eldakkar · 24-02-2005, 18:02

hi! Arghis can you please edit your post, because i don't want this mail-address to be known all across the internet.

Thanks in advance

Thanks kemal for noticing that.

You have the rights to do that don't you anarres? Was it that much trouble to edit the e-mail address?

anarres · 24-02-2005, 18:29

I'm gonna try to do this without being sarcastic or coarse, but I have to admit I am very wound up today...

Hmm, perhaps arghis or anarres should edit those posts for spam-control?

I am very sorry, but the words "edit those posts for spam-control" read to me as "merge these posts in to one because Arghis multi-posted".

This led to my (IMO perfectly valid) response of:

I was essentially saying: "why are you complainging about spamming the forum (an issue you shouldn't care about), when you should be asking where the save is".

Even if I was trying to ignore the fact Eldakkar's email was in Arghis' post I hardly think your snub of me is appropriate. I would not use that smiley *at* you, EVER. Consider that please.

FYI, I find "FYI" quite patronising too in this context.

anarres · 24-02-2005, 18:30

And of course as soon as I understood I edited Arghis' posts.

Eldakkar · 24-02-2005, 18:32

Thanks for editing the post anarres! Obviously you misunderstood each other posts. Things like that happen. Btw playing right now. barb horsies suck.

Kemal · 24-02-2005, 18:35

Okay, please don't take the smilie as an offensive gesture, I was indeed aiming at removing the email address from the posts, and was (also validly, if you read my original post as I meant it that is) wondering why you replied to my post without fixing the arghis posts, but obviously I worded it very poorly.

Just a case of misunderstanding here, and didn't know you had so much problems with the

smilie, again it was not meant the way I think you are interpreting it.

We both had a rough day I guess, again, sorry to have offended you.

anarres · 24-02-2005, 18:39

In that case I suggest you read my PM remembering that I wrote it 10 minutes ago.

anarres · 24-02-2005, 18:45

Just to be 100% clear here Kemal: It's not the smiley at all, it's the context.

I use it at CFC to say to people I don't like "god you are so bad". It generally means I have ZERO respect for the poster I am using it *at*.

When I use it in posts to people I like it is often ironic, or used to extress extreme distaste for a particular thing I am talking about.

It just seemed to be personal, so I'm sorry for misinterpreting.

Kemal · 24-02-2005, 18:45

I just did... lets put it this way, I won't use that smilie again, that's for sure, we misunderstood each other, lets just forget the whole thing and carry on with the SP.
