The problem with this bashing is that everybody feels like they need to have the last word. If you just let everyone have their opinions, and only listen and reply to the sane ones, then the bash becomes one-sided, and it's startling how obvious the jerk becomes. Ignoring stupid and rude people is easy, and if they don't let up, report them to a mod or something.

And in the case of making comics which bash other members, unless the comic is EXTREMELY insulting, then the subject of the comic should just take a joke and not take it TOO personally (They could be telling you something, after all. Just in a brash manner.).

And why would I be jealous over something retarded like that? I didn't even WANT to bash Meg. I tell ya, compared to some of the other losers we've gotten, Meg was nothing.
HIM=Most annoying kid in the history of the world. HIM got one student expelled, another suspended for the rest of the year, and the two teachers who followed him to some of his classes to make sure he was on topic quit and moved to another elementary school. HIM is also known as Branden Bastard. And some of the other losers? Yeah. SoniC was very annoying, begging to know know to make comix, and remember that dude who kept bumping the old topics? But compared to the other people who were bashed *Cough*Kamek*Cough* WvsW must have gotten an F on his typing tests, and Meg was the only one who spelled that badly (Annoying, Simply annoying) And no one was jelous that I got to Meg before anyone else did.

Ladies and Gentlemen, for this demonstration, I will use subjects Kamek and Zak. These people shall represent all people in same and/or similar situations.

Basic formula:

Kamek = Zak as Zak = HIM

OBSERVATION/COMMENTS

You see, Zak, It highly amuses me when you are whining about people bashing, yet I see you doing it yourself. I highly despise you. I bet this Brandon kid has had a 10,000 times worse life than you. But yet, you still poke fun at him and bash him heavily. Why? Because you assume you have greater authority over him as kamek feels he has over you (But when Kamek is bashed he doesn't whine and cry for mom, which makes all the difference).

Which brings me to my next point. your whininess. You tell everyone how bad you life is, and all this stuff, assuming everyone else has had the glamerous life. Damnit no. There are many like you. I was once exactly the same way, and i bet many others have been. Quit trying to get pity for yourself, because it only sickens me when you say how bad your life is, when there are other, no doubt, have it alot was worse than you and I.

And to my next point. Your uptightness. You have to loosen up more, and don't be like "Oh my God Kamek! You said black, that's racist!" and "It makes me sad when you bash me and other people here, Kamek, your a meanie! Bash people like HIM, because he is so inferior to me, and so is Meg!"

Which leads me to my next point. Kamek has a good reason to tell people to shut up and stuff in his forum comic. Here's why:

Kamek's point of making the comic was to bash people. The people critisized it because it bashed people. People who critisized it like this, Kamek told them to STFU, because if you do not like it, deal with it. It was made to bash people. The crtisism he was looking for was "Oh, the humor was a bit off, graphics could have been improved slightly" That is constructive crtisism, and the kind he was looking for. If you are going to critisize it for its purpose it was made, Kamek chased people out of the topic, which is a very fine reason.

SOLUTION:

Zak, you need to take the porcupine out of your ass and don't be so uptight and so easily offended. You need to make your perspective on life alot more broader, and look at yourself and think a moment about what you are doing. If someone makes fun of you, don't get all hyper emotional about it. instead suck it up, and laugh it off (well, depends. If someone calls you like an ass hole , don't start laughing your brains out, that'll make you look alot dumber) then fight back with the language they use. Don't say "Oh, quit being so mean" It shows weakness, and people will only make fun of you more if you aren't stern and outspeaking. the person that calls you names objective is to offend you and make you whine about it. and they succeed, they keep doing it. What you need to do is ignore it, or fight back the way they did to you. If it fails, then I'm terribly sorry, I don't know what to do.

But I admire one thing, when you said that thing about Kamek deserves whatever or something. It shows you have dignity and don't change it.

And whew, I'm finished. Is someone reads that all, I give them 98754397597342 cookies.

Um, Phil, some of that stuff you said was completely different from what I said. A) I never told Kamek to bash Meg B) I said "Um, shouldn't you say "African American"?" C) I am being pretty stupid when I'm putting HIM into everyone of my posts, hey, he doesn't even GO to VGF, so what am I complaining about? D) Kamek tries to chase people out of VGF just because they don't like his comic? Every comic has someone who hates it, that means Kamek has no right to chase people away just because they don't like his comic. Do you see me chasing people out of VGF just because they don't like my comix? Um, no. And E) What is with all this "Constructive Criticism"?

^ You know, you're not helping the situation at all with that post. Just stop before you make it worse. Pretty soon, I'M going to want to start bashing you. (I'm kidding, of course.)

Amen to that.

OK, it seems like we've covered all of the major points, havn't we? It may be just me, but I think there are two key issues that need to be learned.

1) Zak & Co. need to learn to lighten up a little and stop making a big deal about everything, since this is just a stupid message board afterall.

2) Kamek & Co. need to learn to be a little nicer and a little more thoughtful to what other people are feeling, since this is just a stupid message board afterall.

Did I miss anything? Am I completely wrong? I still don't think this is a big deal. I agree with Kamek and everyone else who has said that this is all just blown up out of proportion. But it was still something that needed to be addressed. And hopefully we can now go about or comix/topic/forum ways and not get pissed off at each other over the stupidest things, which is the main goal, afterall.-jay

Oh yeah, the NC RPG. What about it?

^Yes, that would be a good idea.

Okay, this topic has used up all of it's usefulness, so there's no need to keep it around anymore.

(Sets up some explosives around the topic)

This could get messy.
Now why would you look down here, anyway?

So should we have another NC RPG or NC Grand Prix? Or both? I can set up the NC RPG. If someone wants to set up the NC Grand Prix, they are welcome to.-jay

I always try to think of things to say, but it's hard. There's only so much you can talk about concerning neglected video game characters.
