    Cale, putting it bluntly: I'm beginning to believe that you've never touched a drop of alcohol in your life and your claims about drunken behavior are a complete lie.

    When you are that drunk that you cannot control yourself, you certainly do not KNOW this during the act. Most people who are absolutely plastered do not know they are plastered, and certainly do not type with decent grammar. Their posts are an incoherent mess.

    And if you really do get plastered, to the point of no self control, you shouldn't be coming onto a message board where your potentially embarrassing and idiotic posts can be used against you to make you look like a complete schmuck.

    Plain and simple you're not getting around this. Either don't drink, maybe confess that you we're never really drunk (which is always a possibility) or don't come around here when you're drunk.

    Everyone has to follow the rules, sober or not. We will not be giving special treatment to anybody. It's unfair to our members who post here everyday.

    Don't flatter yourself, Cale. The only reason I bothered taking your comment into consideration for reply was because there have been members who have come to LPA drunk and thought the rules didn't apply when they were under the influence. Your post just allowed me to make that clear. ;)


    edit: Damn, unintentional double-wammy.

    I'm inclined to think that the people who act as though they can't spell when they're 'drunk' are the ones who haven't actually touched a drop in their lives. I have a couple of friends like that.
    I live in the same area as Cale, and the pubs etc he goes to are certainly real places.

    With that said, drunkeness shouldn't mean the rules don't apply, especially if something offensive is said/done.

    First of all. I never expected my infractions to be overturned. If i can remember I was just going along with what other people were saying about their infractions expiring. I almost never use smilies and I post as though everyone knows the way i'm talking. Probably gets confusing.

    Second of all. I hadn't lost control that time and knew exactly what I was doing. However alcohol messes around with your mind and hence knowing exactly what your doing drunk is different than in a sober state.

    Third of all. I'm not actually going to get drunk or smoke crack. It's Thursday.

    Fourth of all. Sorry to waste all of your time.

    Fifth of all. How long have I been on this place? It's happened once. Christ.

    Sixth of all. Thankyou.

    What if we just stopped bringing up the drunken behavior issue all together? Even if you're joking, we don't need to hear you continue the pursuit of this subject on a constant basis... especially in a thread such as this where we're asking the community for genuine suggestions.

    My genuine suggestions weren't replied to. Granted I suggested them in the most non-serious way possible, and weren't at all related to the people making death threats or the way the forum is moderated. But suggestions none the less.

    Tech Talk is good for about 2 threads a month and Writing and Artwork are both creative outlets. I'd say thats the most sensible thing I've ever posted.

    Might even free up a spot for a General Discussion forum. Any random thoughts in this forum and obviously you would be insta-banned.

    And that's that done.

    And yes. That is the most sensible thing you've come up with. I'm proud of you, well done :]
    I'm sure that's something that can be discussed at least.

    I highly doubt someone would actually care about that. I dont give a flying fuck if someone calls me a loser for being drunk. I'd rather be drunk than sitting home.

    Hell, I came here online completely drunk and made posts with no sense at all and I got no infraction or a warning for it.

    And why is everyone attacking Cale? Why would you not believe his drunken stories? Because you know him on a forum?

    People have got a problem with Cale's drunkenness because he seemed to deliberately make posts which bent the rules and tried to use being drunk as an excuse.

    At least that's what I can remember from that night.

    Just my 2 cents, but I know for a fact that when I'm drunk, I can think of many things to do that are more fun than sitting at home posting on a forum... like trying to eat a chunk of wasabi. Sure, sitting at home is safer for you, but I'd rather embarrass myself in front of friends than in front of a keyboard. :lol:

    Obviously. But eventually, you'll have to return home. Research says, drunk people cannot sleep before logging on forums and posting their asses off. Sorry dude, it's science.

    I actually love posting and chatting drunk. It's unbelievable how many times a human person can tap backspace to type just a single word.

    Ehm, yeah, off-topic, heh.

    That's what I kinda meant earlier. I'd rather be out with friends drunk than be online drunk. Dusan took it as if I was implying that drunk people have no friends. :rolleyes:

    When I was drunk I went to bed but my PC was still on so I decided to go to the LPA. Its lame to actually start up your PC. Useless aswell because you will fall asleep :lol:

    @ Luke: Can I imply on your last reaction that your implying that Dusan was 'dumb' to think of something like that?

    Well I got that impression beause you keep saying it like someone would grab a bottle of tequilla and get drunk sitting at home and surfing on the internet. Of course everybody here would rather get drunk out with their friends, but they're still drunk when they come home and that's when they post if they post at all. It's not the worst thing ever, even more, I think that people who act stupid and post stupid shit when they're sober are far more worse. Anyway, I'm not going to go further into this discussion, after all, everyone is free to do what they like.

    I don't believe he really meant that, but even if he did it's not like I care about what random people from random forums (no offence, but you really are a completely random guy to me) think about me nor should anyone else pay so much attention to that. Maybe that's the biggest problem of this forum or forums in general - people often take them too seriously.

    Maybe you shouldn't jump to conclusions then because I didn't imply that.

    @Chris: You can take it any way you like. ;)

    I wasn't implying anything in either post btw.

    Or maybe you should have been more precise. See, we've already started going in circles. So ok, I appologize if I misinterpretated your post and I think it's the best we left it at that. :)

    I don't mean to make any confrontation but I honestly don't understand how you could have taken my post the way you did.

    I don't understand why someone would come on to a forum drunk. Simple as. That's the point I was trying to make. Nothing more.
