That&amp;#39;s like sticking your finger in a light socket and getting MAD that you get electrocuted.  No one made you do it.  You didn&amp;#39;t &lt;i&gt;have&lt;/i&gt; to read it.  You don&amp;#39;t like the blog, you go somewhere else and we don&amp;#39;t have to listen to your pointless ramble.  And I can&amp;#39;t count the number of parties I wind up in where I wish that one guy out of six (or two - or three in the most dire cases) wouldn&amp;#39;t just shut the hell up.  The pointless bitching in a party scenario NEVER helps.  That&amp;#39;s why I prefer to lead.  My party members wind up with a bitching jackass?  That group suddenly has a miraculous free slot open.  I don&amp;#39;t put up with much.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25324432/1560451349936909402/comments/default/6952773375713388516'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25324432/1560451349936909402/comments/default/6952773375713388516'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bannable-offenses.blogspot.com/2009/12/how-not-to-be-retarded-vol-2.html?showComment=1261419119096#c6952773375713388516' title=''/><author><name>Andi</name><uri>https://www.blogger.com/profile/10820513433372369925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://bannable-offenses.blogspot.com/2009/12/how-not-to-be-retarded-vol-2.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324432.post-1560451349936909402' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25324432/posts/default/1560451349936909402' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty name="blogger.itemClass" value="pid-1266415915"/><gd:extendedProperty name="blogger.displayTime" value="10:11 AM"/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324432.post-3596318239197573859</id><published>2009-12-21T09:53:03.319-08:00</published><updated>2009-12-21T09:53:03.319-08:00</updated><title type='text'>&amp;quot;You want fun, go play outside or something.&#xa;...</title><content type='html'>&amp;quot;You want fun, go play outside or something.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or in traffic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whatever.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Best words of advice ever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think i agree with hannahj.  there&amp;#39;s ur next lesson dave.  be humble.  i don&amp;#39;t care if you&amp;#39;ve played your job since ffxi launched.  there are still some things i&amp;#39;m sure you could learn about it.  even *gasp* from someone who&amp;#39;s 60 levels below you.  nobody likes a know-it-all.  the moment you display your arrogance and condescend people, that&amp;#39;s the moment that we tanks &amp;quot;forget&amp;quot; to voke when the mob attacks you, or the healers cast haste and &amp;quot;forget&amp;quot; to heal you before you&amp;#39;re booted out of the party (or everyone gets the tell about dropping party JUST before the teleport to vahzl to leave your ass stranded there).</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25324432/1560451349936909402/comments/default/3596318239197573859'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25324432/1560451349936909402/comments/default/3596318239197573859'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bannable-offenses.blogspot.com/2009/12/how-not-to-be-retarded-vol-2.html?showComment=1261417983319#c3596318239197573859' title=''/><author><name>Hylian</name><uri>https://www.blogger.com/profile/08071910096988205119</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://bannable-offenses.blogspot.com/2009/12/how-not-to-be-retarded-vol-2.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324432.post-1560451349936909402' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25324432/posts/default/1560451349936909402' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty name="blogger.itemClass" value="pid-1411212548"/><gd:extendedProperty name="blogger.displayTime" value="9:53 AM"/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324432.post-3785367147050361386</id><published>2009-12-21T02:05:27.519-08:00</published><updated>2009-12-21T02:05:27.519-08:00</updated><title type='text'>instead of how not to be retarded maybe your next ...</title><content type='html'>instead of how not to be retarded maybe your next theme can be how not to be so ignorant.  who uses the word retarded anyone?
