[Were Dono]

Iam 234 yearz old and am a werewolf lolz rofl
(EDIT: this is a joke. stop complaining)
....

....

I'm guessing that would be the type of intro alot of people are posting now a days.
But that, however, is not mine.

There is not much to tell.
I do not belive that there werebeasts. But the myths and articles on them and such do intrest me alot.

Reasons I came here?
Well I was introducee to the comic by someone really close to me. I found the deign and such to be outstanding. So, along the line I'm hopeing to squeeze in a few questions to the great man Leo.
And discuss facts about werewolves and such =D

That's about it...

Well, that first part isn't doing you any good. Still, I hope you are less... insensitive as time goes on, and you start contributing positively.

....Please do not go and tell me that you're one of those people who thinks they are a werewolf.
Gah.
If so then back it up, bub.
I'll be enjoying this.
And no, you cant just say...I feel this..I feel that. And you cant just say 'when I was 12 I trasnformed' blah blah blah. A claim so many have made. I have yet to see someone who is telling the truth

Uhm...who exactly would they be more sensetive towards? People who post that? And, in speaking of those people...do they really deserve all that much sensetivity given that they cram ideas so utterly proposterous down just about everyone's throat while at the same time offering no proof? I dunno about you, but I found it funny. It's absurdist humor. Kind of like Monty Python.

Anyway, welcome to the forums.

No, I&#39;m not. Perhaps you should&#39;ve read a bit of my introduction:

I hope I don&#39;t surprise anyone when I say I&#39;m an otherkin.* But wait&#33;* Don&#39;t jump and yelp for the fear of sudden surprises, let me reiterate my statement.* I have the modest belief that one&#39;s spirit/soul/character can be species other than human, and mine happens to be a dragon.

I didn&#39;t say anything about transforming- and this reaction is what I was referring to earlier when I called it "insensitive". Some people here feel otherwise, that "&#39;when I was 12 I trasnformed&#39;". If you also read (http://www.alphaluna.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=74&view=findpost&p=1052) some (http://www.alphaluna.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=12&view=findpost&p=92) of (http://www.alphaluna.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=12&view=findpost&p=118) my (http://www.alphaluna.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=12&view=findpost&p=128) previous (http://www.alphaluna.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=7&view=findpost&p=44) posts (http://www.alphaluna.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=35&view=findpost&p=548), you might find out that I am fairly neutral, trying to avoid mythological or even miraculous assumptions of how possible changing shape is or how much werewolves could exist. The forum is a collaborative effort, requiring people to be compatible to have a positive environment where ideas and discussions can be held without bias.

So in the future, please try to restrain yourself from making any statements that might be considered offensive to some members.

Again, man...I think you&#39;re being a little hyper-sensetive here. It&#39;s clearly a joke. I mean, given that you yourself have stated that you are in "otherkin" communities and have spoken with others who share your beliefs, you have to have seen those kinds of posts on message boards. And, since I believe you were/are at least somewhat experiences in said communities, that had to have pissed you off just a little bit. And, quite honestly, I&#39;d remind you that if anyone takes offense to what was said, they should offer some sort of reason as to why they would be offended. As far as I know, just about all the people who post things like that as their introduction are just looking for attention. This person&#39;s making a joke. Ease up a bit.

[Tyraelis]

And to state what should be known: I&#39;m not good with telling if a statement is a joke or an insult. Note the fact that I&#39;m trying to be logical- the last thing I want to do is to act upon my emotions.

Wolf Dono, I just want to say that other people might get into an arguement or start a shouting match, neither of which I want. I want peace on this forum.

[Flashpoint Gold]

Sorry&#33; I just skimmed through and didn&#39;t see that. :frown:

One way to tell if someone is telling a joke is if they put something that refers it like a joke, like lol or something. Which he did not. I want peace on this forum too, but please make it look like a joke if it is a joke&#33; Like Tyraelis generally said that someone might take it badly&#33;

...did...you read the post? Right from the beggining, there&#39;s an inappropriate use of the letter "z" as well as the truncations "lolz" and "rofl"...

You are being logical, and that&#39;s the way a mod should react to any situation. I&#39;m not sucking up, I&#39;m giving a compliment, and being perfectly serious. Leo picked a good Beta. :closedgrin:

[rhys]

Right from the beggining, there&#39;s an inappropriate use of the letter "z" as well as the truncations "lolz" and "rofl"..

Personally, I thought that that part of the post was more of a joke than the werewolf thing. I mean, we&#39;re on a werewolf forum&#33; If someone wants to claim to be a werewolf, they can go nuts. I doesn&#39;t affect anyone here. Let it go. On the other hand, I think anyone who&#39;s been on more than one forum ever has probably run up against the people who always post all in leet, or with ridiculously long abreviations that really make no sense, or the obscure spellings (X-tremez&#33;). Those people drive me crazy. It&#39;s not that I dislike them personally, it&#39;s just that their posts take so long to decipher and they rarely say anything worthwhile.

This is just an opinion, but from the sidelines, it seem Tyraelis did jump on Dono a little early after his first post. But then, I do think Dono&#39;s reply was out of line. As I said, If someone wants to make a claim about themselves, even if you don&#39;t believe it, why get all worked up about it? It&#39;s not like you two are gonna get together on Friday and go drinking. Just let it pass. Everyone&#39;s more or less anonymous here. None of us can prove or disprove anything about each other, and that&#39;s the appeal of forums to many people. They can be whoever they want to be. Everyone gets the same privlige, so why wreck it for someone else?

Now you two shake paws..... Good&#33;

Now were all friends again

Maybe we can&#39;t actually get together, bet let&#39;s go drinking anyway. Those of us who are of age, of course.

:wink:


EDIT: Cripes, I must be losing my mind. Forgot the topic. Hey there, Dono&#33;

[Were Dono]

:frown:
I really don?t see what the big deal is...
It was just a joke.
If you noticed the large difference in spelling and ways of writing you would be able to tell.
Not once have I used &#39;lolz&#39; or &#39;rofl&#39; in a sentence.
Cool yer jets.
And I didn&#39;t mean to offend anyone.


As I herd from someone else:
Hot tip of the day:
If you don?t like to hear other people&#39;s opinion, don?t post it on the internet.

[Tyraelis]

Speaking of not posting, I am considering locking this thread- not because I want you to stop introducing yourself Were Dono, just that it could start people making responses to your (misintended) joke, responses that I feel we both could do without (as in, responding to/defending).

If anyone wants this thread reopened (really, we all say hello to newcomers regularly), well, then just PM me with reasons why it should be unlocked.
