Marios Wins

[binidj]

Just looked at the "IC/OOC Offense" thread on the Maelstrom Forum of Rule 7. I was going to respond to Marios but then it struck me that far from trying to engage in discussion he's only interested in winning. I give up, I don't have the patience to generate the amount of noise that he does and the thread is largely irrelevant anyway.

But then again, most of the threads on Rule 7 are irrelevant ... which begs the question, why bother at all?

On the bright side, I now know that the best way to get rid of him at events is to talk to him OOC ... I'll remember that.

In other news, I've mostly lost my voice ... which is weird because I don't recall shouting at the weekend and my voice felt fine on Sunday.

I too almost responded to him and then realised that I lost interest in what he had to say a very long time ago. The board may not have an igore list filter, but in Marios's case my brain has long since adapted to filtering almost everything he posts out anyway. It's a shame really; I'm sure he occasionally has something worthwhile to say, but he's created such antipathy with his 'debating' style that very few people care.

I read his first few posts to see what the noise was about and he started off making some pretty valid points about the nature of IC insults in LARP and Maelstrom in particular. I can see why Bin didn't want to bother arguing when Marios fronted up to him though.
