What's a "forum" without any arguments? - Damn boring! Reps have no value whatsoever, heck, I can't even buy one single stick of cigarette with it. And I admire someone who is not afraid to speak his mind, so long as it makes any sense and despite being on the opposite side of my own views. Having less reputation or none at all, one can earn my respect through words alone. Unfortunately, there's only a few of us here who's quite susceptible (open minded) on certain subjects.
Reps are definitely not worth anything, but I fail to see the point of deliberately losing them. Also, I understand that arguments really liven up a forum. If it's for the sake of a purposeful argument, I certainly don't mind voicing my opinions. Take for instance, is Lelouch dead or not? I remember posting about 70 comments in a day on MAL just for that topic alone. I definitely think he's alive, regardless of Sunrise says.
What I meant was that there is no point in simply replying to a thread like
this. Why waste your time arguing with screwed up people like that? There no point in shoving sense in someone already screwed up like that. Oh and if I were Jacob I would seriously ban him.

...don't you get that strong urge to prove someone his stupidity from time to time? Although I don't do it often, for when argueing with an idiot never makes a good case, first they bring you down to their level, and then they beat you with experiance (a czech proverb, or a quote from Hasek... or maybe one of the Capeks, nvm).
Well, when I see noobs around forums I stick at (which is all the time), I don't feel need to make them realize their stupidity because people like you and holic always exist to mock them. I find it pretty entertaining just as an observer, and I don't like people hating me. I don't even feel good when I mock them. I won't hesitate to help noobs in need though. When they pretend to know everything I just let holic and co (you included) to take care of it. :)

Anyhow, I'll do my best to bring some quality posting to this already overally high level forum.
Good. We need more quality posters around the place. See you around :)
