Yeah, but see it from our perspective. We finished one story following your rules, and since you weren't online to start another in your own thread, we made one that followed different rules, because we only thought that your rules were to be applied to your first story. Then you come along and abruptly put an end to the story we were building because you want to start your own. This may have seemed justified to you, but from everyone else, it looked like an asshole move. I'm sorry if you were offended by an of our "Polluting", but it seemed justified from our perspective, and you shouldn't have negative-repped bfg10k17 for simply leaving the thread, as that was uncalled for.
No, I negative repped him because he started the whole thing. It just happened to be on that post. Secondly I can't be on fakku 24/7, I need sleep. Thirdly I said you could start your own. Anybody can start and end a story. The reason it needs to be in second person narrative is so that people who read it feel like they're part of the action. Saying "I" this and "I" makes it sound too personal. What I did was not irrational because I clearly stated in my first post what I wanted for this thread. It is my thread after all.
Okay, this will be my last post here I promise, then I'll stop interrupting. That said, he started the thing because he wanted to continue making a story in this thread once one was over, and to hold him at fault for that would be patently ridiculous, especially since YOU SAY IN THE FIRST POST TO START NEW STORIES. Also, saying that the reason it needs to be in second person so that the reader can feel like a part of it, then saying it can't be in first person because that's too personal makes no logical sense, feeling like a part of it
IS personal, so you should have had no problem with first person. Lastly, and this is the most important part,
you can't own a thread and just because you made the topic doesn't make you lord and master over all of the posters in it, so you can't just feel justified doing things that make you look like an asshole simply because you are having an ego trip, and can't tolerate differing styles or opinions in "your" threads. The cool thing to do would be to neutralize your asinine behavior by +repping him, but do whatever you want, you have obviously proven your high level of maturity by taking the high road here.
