Reflect

[Glamdring]

sorry I touched a nerve here. this was meant for US players. It was EXACTLY for what it seems, when you're logging in for whatever on Monday when you normally would be at work/school, or even doing something else, like celebrating your pool being opened for the year it might be nice to remember that you don't have the day off to celebrate THAT. You have it to honor all those who have died in the line of duty. Take a moment.

Either way, this thread is irrelevant and off-topic. You should not have made it solely based on that fact.

U.S. Memorial Day is Monday, and the OP had a point to make about it. How is that irrelevant? Irrelevant to you, maybe, but there will continue to exist a given country that observes a given holiday with or without your express approval. Why would your kneejerk reaction be to try to silence the OP, rather than try to understand and engage (if not necessarily agree), or failing that ignore?*

Also, by what standard can a General Discussion forum thread be judged "off-topic"? The OP had something to say to others here, so he or she said it in the most appropriate place he or she could find. What more would you ask, and on what authority would you ask it?



*as someone who's spent a good amount of time analyzing the existence of white privilege in the United States, this thread is utterly fascinating to me

(oh one other thing: the ship pretty much sailed on reflect when they put dancers in the game; sorry bros)

Have a Happy and safe Memorial Day America.

To those who are serving their countries in Iraq, Afghanistan and other war theaters around the world, regardless of Nationality, who can't spend the weekends or any time with family and friends or playing FFXI, thank you for your service /salute. I wish you a safe return home.

To the countless millions who have lost their lives in defense of their freedoms and to keep it intact for others, this:

"At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember you."

I would love a reflect spell.

Once again. If a thread has no relevance to you, then just ignore it. You don't post in every single thread you see do you? You don't need to post here either. First of all, every one of your negative, childish responses is not only extremely offensive and completely ignorant, but also creates new stereotypes of your own. So now should all Americans come across someone from another country immediately believe that they are immature, uneducated, and completely self-centered? You wouldn't like that very much, would you?

I don't need to go on reading your badgering posts representing your kneejerk debates why you think this is irrelevant to the forum. You're making it relevant to yourself by taking part in this discussion, and I suggest you leave it to those who do care about the OP's topic at hand. It's not even a topic of discussion really... Just stay out.

Lol, freedom of speech and opinion until people disagree with you right? People in other countries don't hate American freedom, they despise American hypocrisy.

Don't people have something better to do than spend all day bitching about the slightest little thing?

It's a thread on a forum for goodness sakes. The guy was doing what members of a forum community do in a General Discussion board. If you feel it really is that much of a deviation from SE's purposes and what this section of the forum is meant for, forward it to a moderator and let them deal with it.

And if you're so concerned with the way the forum is run and its purposes, then:

Since you cannot see each other on the forum, your words may be taken the wrong way or may have a negative emotional affect on others. Please try to maintain a polite manner and review your entry before you post.
Please show respect and consideration to other users. Users of this forum come from various backgrounds, where their ages, sex, occupations and residential areas differ.

Everyone hates America. Boy, you sure do sound intelligent and not at all bigoted and like a tool.

Maybe so, it's still pretty much true throughout the world though.

I can't wait until the day comes that there's enough interracial sex in America and enough time has passed that I can call you a racist.
