I come here just to watch you and folks like you wind yourself into a complete foaming-at-the-mouth fit about a piece of pixilated jewelry that's ruining the game. It's Flames. I have as much right to come here and laugh at you as anyone else.

Now see, if that's all you got from yesterday's blog you got a serious reading comprehension issue there that your SLP obviouly missed. More proof, that when it comes down to it, you're just another whiner who didn't get enough attention as a kid and feels the need to shout down anyone else because no one's kissing up to you for your brilliance.

Poking at people's kids. Really. I almost said I thought you were above that, but that's my optimism showing through again.

Okay... I don't really speak often on stuff like this... but that was COMPLETELY uncalled for. Calthine is an awesome mom - takes a real man to try to attack something like mothering skills. Her mothering skills, her family, her personal life, and anything pertaining to her children has NO PLACE here, Gaige. I've never rightly respected you as a decent human being, but this is just absurd. If you're going to argue about itemization, ARGUE ABOUT ITEMIZATION. You prove NOTHING with personal attacks but that you are scum.

As for Domino, she has done more for tradeskilling in a SINGLE expansion than has been done since launch. She has made it, god forbid, fun and challenging. Friend of mine or not, she's amazing at what she does.

I'm sorry the game isn't turning out the way *YOU* want it, Gaige. I'm sorry the world doesn't revolve entirely around YOU and YOUR single subscription.

I HATE being rude, mean, or anything of that sort, but you are the one and only person I can genuinely say offers nothing to the community. I sincerely believe that people like you are the reason wire hangers still serve a politically incorrect purpose.

I'm feeling sympathy for your kid, I'm not poking at him.

Quote:

Second, there was on particular teacher with whom Kiddo had horrible behavior - melt downs (remember when they were tantrums?), hitting and biting, all of which are absolutely not normal for him. We thought it very telling that when that teacher was absent he showed none of those behaviors, but the school would have nothing of that idea. They told us our kid was broken. Maybe ADHD, maybe Asperger's, at the very least he needed serious behavioral counseling.

However the insecurity you feel as a parent has you going:

Quote:

Needless to say he's not there anymore. (I won't drop names publicly, but if you're in my area and have a need to know, leave a comment with a contact e-mail). Now, we've known Kiddo's behind a little bit socially. He was an only child until he was three, didn't go to day care, and we've no peers with kids, so his experience is lacking. But to tell us our kid is broken because you're too whatever to take the time to teach? Yeah, bugs me too. The consensus thus far is he's just a KID. and a BOY at that.

We realize he is behind socially but how dare those teacher's imply that he has real social development issues, he is just a KID and a BOY!

The saddest thing is that your denial only will hurt him more in the long run. So I feel compassion for your son due to your lack of understanding, however I realize its easier for you to assault me for "making fun of people's kids".

This:

Quote:

He's being evaluated for language and cognitive development. So far we've just done the language evaluations, but there's no red flags. Yeah, his social language is a little behind in abstract concepts. But we're hearing things like "He has an astounding vocabulary!!" and "He's very smart! " and while all the evaluation reports aren't back yet, no one has seen anything worrying.

Only has me hoping you'll look more closely into Asperger's instead of dismissing it, but whatever.

Quote:

So I'm taking it as a Celestial Hint that Kiddo just needs to be home with me right now.

Probably easier than accepting that your child might really have a developmental disorder I suppose. Ignorance equals bliss is what they say.

Yes, you're right I take this game way too seriously, I mean I get paid to write about it and... oh wait... This game is MY hobby it is YOUR job. Even before it was your job you posted way more than even I did on the official forums. So before you come here citing your detachment from the game...

You had as much right to be here until you bailed on LFG and this site because you were unable to hack it. To me those that tuck their tails and run always get a less than warm welcome when they show their face and spout their opinions later, when they feel they can handle it.

Calthine · 03-04-2008, 04:58 AM

I don't know why I'm bothering disussing it with you, dear, but you completely missed the bit that Kiddo's evaluations are not done yet. It's completley fruitless to put him in child care until I have more informataion on issues he may or may not have. The local child care situation just makes me feel better about having him at home. I'm not in denial at all, and you have far from the whole story.

And I left for a better paying job, flat-out. I know you read it completely differently, because you're psychic and stuff and can tell everyone's inner motivations, but that's the fact.

Just like my blog, this is a public place, and unless LFG says different, I can (and do) hang here, just like you read my blog. You air your laundry in public you're gonna get commentary, a principal you just applied by practically reprinting my blog here. So deal with it.

Don't you have some pop emo music to sing about your amazing plastic vagina and being married to a straight homosexual man? Or are you busying blogging on your WINWIN situation blog in a desperate attempt to get a job at SOE like your idol Domino? I'm surprised you took time out of your busy schedule of manfucking your husband and petting your kids to reply to scum like me. I feel honored. Its not everyday a transsexual wannabe game developing pop star addresses you via mean text in faggy purple on flames.

Now what were you saying...

Her mothering skill, her family, her personal life and anything pertaining to her children has no place here?

Hmm. So by here do you mean the intrawebs or do you mean Flames. Lets just, for sake of arguement, assume you mean the intrawebs since that is where flames is housed.

Have you ever seen this:

Another Broke Mom

Why its a blog where a poor broke Alaskan game loving housewife of the red haired variety talks about, oh let her say it:

Quote:

Diary of a Mom in Alaska, with a focus on being thrifty, cheap, and even broke! Recipes, budget helpers, ideas for pinching pennies. Adventures in kid raising, always a thrill a minute!

She talks about her financial struggles, her children, their behavorial problems, their inability to buy their kids awesome Christmas presents...

If her family and her mothering skills are such a sacred deal, WoMAN then perhaps she should leave her trials and tribulations OFF THE MOTHERFUCKING INTERNET.

I mean she even links to it on the official forums, asking players to PLEASE READ IT. I'm a player, I read the official forums, well fuck she said PLEASE I better read about her life and her kids and her financial situation, who am I to deny a mom when they say please.

So a kindly: Fuck you, PlasticVag. I wouldn't have been able to bring it up had she not wrote a fucking online novel about it and then advertised it to everyone who subscribes to EQ2.

Now go fuck your husband and try to convince yourself its hetero.

I'm sure that is 100% true and it had nothing to do with your inability to cope with the environment here, especially since you almost quit on LFG when I posted my glorious peen for all to see. However, hindsight being 20/20, I think you screwed the pooch leaving when you did, if your primary concern was pay, but hey who am I to judge.

Oh please humbly excuse me for assuming you yanking him out of the school while at the same time inferring his behavorial problems were the fault of the teacher and then implying that he is just a BOY and a KID led me to believe that you were in denial about anything possibly being wrong with him. I just pulled that out of the left field bleachers along with your commentary about the charm items being fabled I suppose.

Calthine · 03-04-2008, 05:08 AM

You're making assumptions. I did not yank him out of school.

Edit: And I've made no comments or commentary about the charm items either. Anywhere.

Yes so hard I, as a non-crafter, leveled from 70 to 80 in 5 days and finished the TRADESKILL EPIC in 3 hours. Wow, SO CHALLENGING.

As for being amazing at what she does, I'm aware. I've only posted for pages about how amazing she is at fucking up progression, fucking over raiders and taking away dev time needed in other areas so Achronix can design items for her GU updates instead of fixing VP loot, artists can waste their time making appearances for the crafting cloaks (because OMG adventurers can't get EPICs unless crafters do) and programmers can waste their time on mannequins. Maybe they should've hired a dev with experience, but hey at least she posts a lot!!!

I'm very aware at how AMAZING she is at being worthless to the parts of the game that matter.

I know, me and my assumptions, first the fabled, now this. Sheesh, where do I get off...

Quote:

Let's see. Kiddo's not in any preschool or daycare right now. They told us our kid was broken. Maybe ADHD, maybe Asperger's, at the very least he needed serious behavioral counseling.

Needless to say he's not there anymore.

Perhaps I was trying to be polite and didn't want to poke at your kid and say he got kicked out of school for biting other kids? Ah well, that is what I get for trying to be compassionate!

Ulric · 03-04-2008, 05:15 AM

Gaige, if you're action was based on being concerned that someone else's kid might have Asperger's Syndrome or something similar I'd think you try something more subtle like, "You know... I deal with this in life and it kinda sounds to me like there are some warning signals here. I recognize myself in some of how you talk about your child. You should check out this info or ask a specialist, etc..."

Instead, you're attacking. It's not the same thing. Don't hide or confuse one with the other. There's better ways to offer insight, help, or a counter point to an idea. This might be EQ2Flames, but that doesn't justify your tactics.

What you just wrote isn't the right way of doing things. My only consolation as a reader who doesn't have a vested interest one way or the other is that something is making this strike too close to home for you today, and so you're lashing out as a coping mechanism. I hope you find a better way to deal with whatever that is.

"Be kinder than necessary for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle."

I'm not perfect and I don't remember those words as often as I should. If I did, I'd be happier for it though.

Peace.

Already with this again? Fine. Sigh.

As I've previously posted, you said here:

Bueller? Bueller?

If you want something good enough to call Fabled Crafted, you have to expect that it's going to be a bit tough to come by. Otherwise it wouldn't be worth calling Fabled.

The name of the thread is - "Chromatic Essence only off nameds?"

You say "if you want something good enough to call fabled crafted" FABLED CRAFTED.

So, to summarize so far, in a thread complaining about how the CHROMATIC ESSENCES are acquired you implied about things needing to be tough to come by if the items are good enough to call FABLED CRAFTED.

Then if we mosey over here:

gu43faction

Quote:

Provisioner
30K Riliss faction - Riliss chicken foot (chromatic essence, 2 cockatrice meat) level 77 charm slot item, 25 STR/25 STA +50 combat art damage

What is that, the charm items coming in GU43 from RoK faction recipes require a, wait *rubs eyes* - a CHROMATIC ESSENCE.

*scrolls up*

Didn't you just reply in a thread complaining about CHROMATIC ESSENCES that if crafters want to craft FABLED CRAFTED...

So wait... items requireing CHROMATIC ESSENCES good enough to call FABLED CRAFTED...

Yes, I'm totally offbase. Good call!

Calthine · 03-04-2008, 05:25 AM

No where do I see me talking about the charm items. I was responding to people complaining that the components would be too hard to obtain.

It could be read that I was supporting your argument.
