Bink Gets Annoying PMs, Part I

Posted 09/16/09 at 6:54 AM by Binkenstein
Updated 02/04/13 at 10:24 PM by Binkenstein
So, every time someone sends me a silly PM, it's going to get posted here. I know some will think it's "elitist" and "jerky" etc etc, but for once I'd like people to think before asking me something that's been discussed here already, and with a little though you may be able to answer it for yourselves.

As they say, give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you get rid of him for the weekendfeed him for a lifetime.

Also the Lava burst 100% crit makes this trinket imba for us.

What do you think?
Critical Mode: On.
I have absolutely no idea how this correlation between LO crits and normal LB crits occured, nor how this mystery "double crit" translates into generating three charges for the trinket. Never mind the fact that the shorter cast times for Elemental actually make the proc slightly less valuable than you'd expect, due to the internal 2.5 second cooldown from generating a "proc" to getting the first charge on a new stack (which means you need to reduce your charge generation by a third of the chance of getting two crits in a row).

Mind you, the spelling, excessive "quotation" use, and the phrase "makes this trinket imba for us" really isn't helping either, but he's a Euro, so maybe that explains it. The recent registration and zero post count also suggests that Harrycane wouldn't survive long on these forums anyway. Especially since his main hasn't even killed anything in ToC10 or 25. (Guild Armory in case the direct link doesn't work due to silly letter use)

Stay tuned for more exciting messages from people that want me to do all their work for them!

The "British People" aren't really considered "Euros" as they speak English... which is ironic, since one of the four UK "countries" is England.

I'm amazed that your location is set to Europe and you don't know what a 'Euro' is.

No Malan, I'm saying that calling someone an "Euro" for bad grammar, interpunctation, etc. is fail because England is part of the "Euro-zone".

Generally "Euro" refers to the continental Europeans that don't speak English as their first language (ie: Spaniards, French, Germans, etc). Does this make it clearer?

Very bad term, but yes, perfectly clear.

What springs to mind, go figure, when I hear/read the term Euro, would be our universal currency, however, intrigued by this discussion, I went forward and visited the Encyclopedia Popularis (yep, Wikipedia) and disregarding the fact, that the top redirect to the term Euro is an entry dealing with the mentioned currency, I went on and glanced the disambiguation page, here here.

Thus, allow me a conclusion, that your term, to describe the naive inquirer as 'Euro' is not too different from his attempt at 'elitism' and maybe even 'jerkiness' by "excessive "quotation" use, and the phrase "makes this trinket imba for us".

I am a European and I am not living on any of it's islands.

On topic, do you believe that the people you intend on dissing in this Blog section really read your blog, TTT entries and more than a few of your posts on the forums?

I am being genuinely curious here and implying that your intention of teaching your 'fans' to catch fish, or try and win your weekends back, may prove futile.

  • Wow, an "elitist jerk" joke. Never heard one of those before.
  • See: Urban Dictionary: Euro, #5 in particular.
  • You also managed to leave one of your excessive quotation uses open ("Excessive "quotation")
  • how does being European have to do with not living on any of its islands (it's like saying that the ocean is water that isn't in a lake)
  • I know they read this blog section. I even have this one linked behind the words "but you have been warned" when mentioning that people can PM me questions. Maybe it's a honey trap. Who knows?
  • It's both a "dealing with PMs in a way that educates people" and my own personal BanHammer.

Who cares about 'Urban Dictionary'?
They claim that "Urban Dictionary is the dictionary you wrote."
Maybe someone has to tell them (*you*) that "Euro" is a currency.
[e] and known in the rest of the world for being a currency, despite of that poor little readership of 'Urban Dictionary' [/e]
But hey, I will call you "Buck" or "Dollar" and everything is fine for me.

Oh for crying out freaking loud.

Euro is short for European. Dollar is not short for American*. The only confusion between currency names and the labels assigned to people is that you can't comprehend the fact that "Euro" was used as an abbreviation to European (and you just happen to be one of those) long before it was used as a name for a currency.

The Urban Dictionary is not specifically something "you" wrote. It's a wikipedia like dictionary that allows Internet Users (the "you" it was talking about) to add new words & definitions.

* Nevermind the fact that I'm from New Zealand, and our currency is "officially" the New Zealand Dollar, but also known as the Kiwi Dollar (the dollar part is also dropped when talking currencies). Co-incidentally, the "Kiwi" is also the national bird, and New Zealanders also get referred to by the name Kiwi.

You love to get it wrong, do you?
Please point out where I said that Dollar is short for American.

I am saying that today everybody knows, or at least should know Euro as a currency. *Today* not ten years ago.
Europeans aren't Euros, you agreed to that before (you know, excluding England, Wales, Scottland, Northern Ireland and Ireland).

And I am saying that Europeans such as yourself should know that the EUR currency unit is not capitalized as a proper noun. Check with the ECB if you'd like. I'll wait.

Now pull that stick out of your ass and stfu.

And surprisingly enough, the Euro who has been in circular arguments with you here has a grand total of four posts, two of which have been reported.
