Awesome, awesome post. I really must congratulate you, stsaturn, on trying to make me look like an idiot by making bizarre implications and ignoring all the vital parts of my post. Excellent debating strategy, I must say. Now, allow me to "defend" myself against your scathing wit, while utilizing the quote feature intelligently.
Quote:
Your postcount is irrelevant to the discussion at hand, as is any amount of money you donated. Furthermore, the unquoted part of your post is also irrelevant, which is why I left it unquoted. As you still don’t seem to understand what I was saying, let me elaborate. Complaining about AJ isn’t a problem. Complaining about complainers is dumb, but it’s not the problem here either. You’re welcome to complain about whatever you want, after all. The problem is that you have the gall to tell people what they should and should not complain about, while at the same time complaining yourself. This is where I got the hypocrisy from, because that’s what it is (along with being both arrogant and snotty). I am well aware that people will see this very post as being hypocritical, as complaining about complainers, but that just means the whole point is going over their heads. The point I'm trying to make is that complaining really is all right; telling people what to say and think is not. To continue, you made a good attempt at defaming my character by portraying me as a whiny little egotist, but if you’ll go back and read my post, you’ll find that there is no evidence to back up that claim whatsoever. To clarify an earlier question, I am a salesman at CompUSA, and it is store policy to try to sell 3 free months of AOL to every customer I help. I didn’t say whether or not I agreed with this policy; I made a statement of fact. The relevant part of the statement was that people complain to me about how much they hate AOL, how much it has screwed them in the past, and how they’ll never use it again. They’re allowed to complain about it, I have no problem with that. To explain the analogy, since it apparently went over your head the first time: I don’t have a problem with people complaining about AOL, and I don’t have a problem with people complaining about AJ. I understand that people will complain, and take it as a matter of course. I wouldn’t dream of telling them that just because they can get AOL/AJ subs for free, they have no right to complain about it. That’s just plain dumb. You use the same sort of fallacious logic in your final, somewhat off-topic point, which I shall now take the time to debunk. Quote:
Exactly where do you find the basis to ask me such a ludicrous question? Please oh please point to the part of my original quote that leads you to believe that I’m making a judgment call either way. Hint: it doesn’t exist. My opinions on the matter are absolutely meaningless to the struggles going on between the two groups. Whether I’m for or against the actions, the actions will still continue. The only point of your asking the question is, once again, character defamation. By trying to cast me as a hate sympathizer, you are trying to make your argument seem more intelligent because it’s not coming from a warmonger. Excellent tactic, by the way. It’s used in politics all the time, so I’m glad to see that you’re paying attention to the outside world. To answer your questions so it wouldn’t appear that I’m avoiding the issue, no, it isn’t right, and no, I don’t approve of such actions. But again, it doesn’t matter what I think on this issue, and to attempt to get back on subject, it doesn’t matter if I think it’s retarded to complain about complainers. It’s going to happen anyway. This may lead you to believe that I made a long and ultimately pointless post for very little reason, but if I can get people to see that being a self-deluded hypocrite makes you look retarded, and therefore fewer retarded posts get made, I’ll consider this a victory.

I think it's fine to complain about something.
I also think it's ok to complain about people complaining. Hey, I'm even ok with someone complaining about people compaining about someone's complaining. But what I absolutely can not stand is someone complaining about someone else's complaining about people compaining about someone's complaining.! Thats... just... so WRONG!!! Oh wait... maybe that's what I'm doing... er, nevermind. |

anyway I also think its fine to complain about something, even though its free(linux, irc, websites, doctrines, ideas etc.). What irritate me is the fact that people complain about a collection of people's hard(even though you may not agree with this word being use here) work. For gods sake no matter how bad the quality is, you still have to spend time to translate and encode. And yes i forgive you for thinking that I am complaining about someone else's complaining about people compaining about someone's complaining.

I dont think people would be complaining if some group released shit and went "yea, its crap, and we admit it". However, if someone goes "OMG, We r best" and releases free crap, of course people should be complaining because it is CRAP. It's like all that free software which claims to do stuff, and then sucks at doing it, you bitch at it for hours. Free aol for 45 days, it may be free internet for 1.5 months, but its shitty free internet! This "it is free, it takes work" arguement that people take to defend subbers is completely bogus. If you do a shitty job, you have no defense because it can be done better if you dont try and get it out the same [input any length of time]. If you don't bitch, they wont ever improve. |

 ff topic:Before Animesuki crashed and had to be reset I would look through old post sometimes and noticed many threads asking about Anime Junkies and everytime a MOD would close the thread imediatly saying the reason is that ANY thread talking about Anime Junkies will degenerate quickly into a flame war. I guess they know their business. Maybe this thread should be closed to since the arguments are only going in circles and I think we can agree here that nobody is gonna change anyone elses mind. Everyone should be allowed there opinion (I think we all agree) and everyones opinion seems to have been stated at least twice or more.

I don't download any AJ subs, and anyone who does is being a hypocrite when they bash AJ. No one has a right to talk about how much they hate AJ if they are still downloading their subs. If you download their work, then you just don't dislike them as much as you claim so please stop talking about it. As for those of you who don't download their subs, it is OK to say that you don't like them, but there is no reason to go to the wall bashing them. Simply ignoring their work is sufficent, there is no virtue in trying to make others hate them also.
