LOL, such a statement coming from someone that calls himself the "grand puppeteer".

You know besides your public display to ego stroking (grand puppeteer) they say that judging people over comments, left on internet, that has nothing to do with you is a sign of two things:

(1) It stems from a need to show that one's e-peen is larger then the other's.
And (2) it stems from the consistent need for ego stroking.

You know, grand puppeteer, your so called "behavior" is hardly a model for maturity.

Besides my statement was written towards DM and DM only.

So perhaps you should stfu, eh grand puppeteer?

This is what I call bad behavior in forums, you dont respect his ideas.

You know I wish the average person playing RO wasn't 5.

However, his comment towards me was hardly a sign of respect, especially after I posted a second comment explaining the context of why I posted such a statement to begin with.

If he had stated instead that I should have made my original comment in PM I would have agreed with him.

However, since he was so willing to throw stones - I needed to remind him that he sits in a glass house.

John L. Austin in How to Do Things with Words explains it pretty well.

The forum rules state perfectly that you may not insult players, either using slang, images, phrases or any transformation of this words/images. Reported.

You know since I majored in sociology and psychology I know much about speech acts.

However, claiming that somehow "stfu" is a speech act is to totally misusing the meaning of what a speech act is.

Speech acts are about racism, sexism and the like.

But there is little hope that people, not grounded in theory, could understand fully what it means, and thus misuse it for any little thing.

As you majored in psychology, your area focuses on what I quoted from you, but the meaning of speech acts is broader than this. AFAIK, everything that you say implies a speech act (which can be more evident or noticeable in some cases) because you speak to "say something", hence, "doing something".

Let me take a look to my notes first. Anyway, this isn't the topic of the thread and I recommend you to keep discussing this by pm, it's interesting to me.

This in some ways falls into the the tradition symbolic-interactionism in sociology.

However, your interpretation of speech acts seems to stem from philosophy, which looks at things in large generalities. The main problem with philosophy is that it's hard for philosophers to apply their generalities to real life situations and human behavior.

Thus, the need for science, test, retest and find where ideas, such as these, fit into our social institutions/consciousness and what their consequences are (how they impact social relations).

Social sciences have used speech acts as the basis to understanding social status, race relations/sex relations in terms of power and mobility.

However, if you are going to claim that I was in the wrong you have to first find out how I perceive aardvak2669's comment towards me. And to note I took it as a statement of disrespect.

So to claim that I am in the wrong and then to pursue a coarse punishment towards me is quite unethical isn't Xephandor?

Sorry, but why the use of profanity? Here you go:

That should help you increase your vocabulary enough so that you DO NOT need profanity to colorfully describe your words.

Good luck

Sorry then, I wanted to clarify my point of view. I didn't mean to be disrespectful, just to make you notice that there's more than one interpretation of the speech acts.

You were right, but not completely. I think you were missing the "big picture".
Regarding to ethics, I just try to follow the forum rules (btw, you were breaking them). That's the only part where you were wrong, breaking the rules.

LOL, Solarus! All I can say is bless you, but following that link shows the word fuck as a valid word:

But bless your moral crusade on profanity use on these forums, which there seems to be a lot of it!

However, you might want to give a link that doesn't support obscene words as valid words since you object to them.

Link is there for you to use so that you may pick a different word. However, if you choose not to then I'm truly sorry for your lack of intelligence or ability to conjugate a sentence (or thought) without profanity.
