Tenebrae Invictus Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 A very interesting "harassment". They were somewhat humorous, but... what's with making Private Messages... not private?

fishers64 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Umm...bad idea. You have cancer? :(Plus also making generalizations based on a generalized message is overgeneralized. And Hapori is coming after you for the name, and the staff for betraying their private messages...maybe?

ExoFat Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 I agree with those who said that this would be more appropriate for a blog. Still, it's mildly amusing. :PIt's important to remember that the staff are just people too, though I wouldn't doubt that you experience some mild repercussions for posting these messages.

Peach 00 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 I'll be honest, it's kind of strange. =/ Not sure what to think. However, if you have cancer, I'm sorry to hear this. On the day the wall came down / They threw the locks onto the ground And with glasses high / We raised a cry / For freedom had arrived On the day the wall came down / The ship of fools had finally run aground Promises lit up the night / Like paper doves in flight I dreamed you had left my side / No warmth, not even pride remained And even though you needed me / It was clear that I could not do a thing for you Now life devalues day by day / As friends and neighbors turn away And there's a change that even with regret / Cannot be undone Now frontiers shift like desert sands / While nations wash their bloodied hands Of loyalty, of history / In shades of grey I woke to the sound of drums / The music played, the morning sun streamed in I turned and I looked at you / And all but the bitter residues slipped away slipped away...

Protodite Karzahni Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 I don't know which is funnier.

Sumiki Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 This made me lol and also made me rather wish I was on. I'm unsure what my response would have been but it probably would have been inane.(Just so you guys know, the old "Frowned Upon By Hapori Tohu" rank, reserved in the past as a custom title for those infamous members that dared to insult the mighty Tohu, is a kind of outmoded and vestigial tradition. Unless something changes, I would say that Hapori Boar's name is safe.)Like the others in this topic, I'm sorry to hear that you have cancer. I hope and pray that you will overcome it. avatar by Lady Kopaka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaleidoscope Tekulo Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 XD, this actually did make me laugh.

Still, you have to be careful. You can't expect someone to take a controversial joke so lightly. I'll admit, I understood your joke and cracked up, but then I thought about it.
