I still don't think his use of "expletives" undermined his point. I understood quite well.

The only thing unclear to me is how there is actually a debate over, "uuummmm!! u siad a bad wuuurd!"

Swearing at customers might adversely affect them later in life, but "kicking them out of any private programmes" can't help them earlier in life.  

I don't run the private programs, nor do I work with small children.  Walmart runs their own program, and hires based on employ-ability.  Star of hope runs their own Program and kids need to have social skills and medicaid eligibility.  Good Will runs their own program etc.  Not a single one will take a kiddo who swears or is physically aggressive.

High school starts at 14, and kids can't stay past 21-25 depending on the state they live in. In that time either they get what they need in order to go to college, get a job, take part in a private program, are cared for by family, or end up in an institution.  There is of course the possibility that kids will end up homeless as well, although that has not happened with any of my kids.  This isn't a problem, "later in life", it is a problem the day they graduate.  In some cases prior to that.

Our program is run well enough that parents move here from other countries in order to be involved.  At my school that includes countries in Europe.

Thanks for putting out your perspective Kruegs. I do have a lot of respect for fight guilds, and what they can do. They are critical in getting us to T3, which is my goal. You can't take (or keep) most things without some PvP. You can't get the best fights without taking or defending things they want. We have here a mutually beneficial relationship. I personally like both. I guess the only thing I really don't like are those who don't zone into WvW at all.

Darkhaven had this same polarization, just more intense. I had a great collaboration with the other pugmanders. Like me, we all wanted to get better at fighting. Most of us joined different fight guilds. The problem was, several of those guilds pulled out of WvW contributing altogether. They did only GvG and PvP, while only zoning into WvW to test out new tactics. I ended up solo tagging for 8-12 hours straight.

We're on the same side. Just please don't lose the war while you win the battle. Near as I can tell, half of your WvW population is idle because they think it's impossible to beat HoD.

I know this was written earlier but I am glad someone said what I have been thinking for weeks!!!
I have been soooo disappointed in our efforts lately. A few losses to blobby guilds from NSP or HoD and people literally give up. OI HEAR a lot of reasons and I can understand them such as back to school, back to this, tired of same matchup...etc. But what I SEE are guilds that were use to winning getting beat time and time again = quit. Not gonna fight like this, not gonna fight mega blob, not gonna do this, not gonna do that.
Simple fix, never give up, never never never never never never give up.
I use to play USTA tennis tournaments and my least favorite matchup was against this guy who literally had the form of a paraplegic 3 toed sloth, but he never quit. Every single point was so frustrating that I wanted to just quit playing.
So, be a paraplegic 3 toed sloth. Frustrate the shat out of whoever is red on a map. Don't play for guild pride and fight rules, play for a server!!!
Open field siege? sure, if it will win and frustrate a mega blob.
Blob together to take out a blob? sure, it is time efficient and this is not a gvg arena..it is a whole world vs a whole world.

My suggestion to those frustrated...don't read gw2wvw crap sites, don't worry what people say, don't worry how many times you get wiped. Get up, dust yourself off, try something new. It keeps the same matchup fresh and you learn something you didn't know before.

Rant over, yayyyy

TIL Interlocutor means a person who takes part in a dialogue or conversation.

I think I might resemble the paraplegic three toed sloth . . .

"Interlocutor" is a sexy word.

You just keep on waiting.

I will keep on waiting, because you can't. Which makes your screaming about balance in Guild Wars 2 completely stupid.

Thanks!

[Liric]

Your lack of ability to comprehend my posts combined with your obvious willingness to perpetuate needless conflict is certainly one argument in favor of additional moderators on these forums...

Is there really a point in embarrassing yourself further? Just stop doing...all these drugs. It's bad for you.

That wasn't the debate.  Crudeness and pretension are an ironic combination.
If you don't get the joke, that is fine, but it is still there.

[Liric]

That in itself looks questionable - what I see IS a lot of pretentious prattling over nothing of consequence, as perhaps some things don't convey well through text alone for those of us not overly familiar with individual senses of "humor".

How DARE I not indulge in this pseudo-intellectual wankfest masked as a joke! Ehmry is quite quickly becoming obnoxious.

Still waiting for you to present your pedigree, along with unverifiable real life expertise in whatever subject happens to be at hand.

[Liric]

I haven't thought of anything sufficiently ridiculous that hasn't been done to death already.

Edit: Something something GARBOLOGY.

How about some sort of superconducting biological nerve experimentation, to judge from the time of my post until your reply?

Garbology will only come in handy if we're talking about Greta or Eva, but if you can twist the thread in that direction your credentials will already be a matter of record.

My sense of humor is at times so dry you have to be careful to avoid dehydration.

As someone with a darker sense of humor, I find the fish image funny also. xD

Wow, the topic was, New and returns.  nice job on this thread, there is not this much douchebaggery at a massengill convention

[Rimmy1a]

Strict adherence to OP topics is for fascists.

When the people have literally spoken, things are good.

Besides, all the stuff for new and returns is on the first page - endlessly repeating the same is just mind numbing.

[cassy]

Yeah, it might have eben better to close the thread sooner or something.
