Alphabet draft - the first letter of your XIs first/last names need to be 22 unique -

[mr_mister]

let's move on this is a really dumb thing to argue about.

 

[Red]

this is weird

 

[Test_Fan_Only]

Chill dude. I'm on your side.

You might think you are but you are not.

 

[mr_mister]

May I ask why shortening your name bothers you so much?

 

[Test_Fan_Only]

let's move on this is a really dumb thing to argue about.

I am not dumb, nor was my request. There is no need to insult me.

I have tried to be helpful in this thread, although my last attempt was wrong, sorry, so I do not expect to be treated like this over a simple request.

You can shorten my name to something other than the way you did previously if it makes things easier for you.

 

[Test_Fan_Only]

may i ask why shortening your name bothers you so much?

it is not shortening my name that bothers me it is how you shortened it.

 

[mr_mister]

In an indigenous studies class I did @ uni I got chewed out for shortening Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander to ATSI in an essay, simply to save time writing it out over and over again. My teacher declared it insulting to a group of people. I thought she was being irrational but alas...

So I get it... kind of. I didn't think someone would care that much about a forum username, especially one that obviously has nothing to do with your real name or anything

 

[Test_Fan_Only]

I withdraw this post, I will continue in the draft.

 

[mr_mister]

Because I was literally thanking you for helping out and your response was to be annoyed by something that you must realise could appear to be completely trivial to some people

 

[Red]

No one insulted you or made it into a joke. FFS.

 

[Test_Fan_Only]

All this fuss because I made a simple request about a very small matter, yet people saw fit to blow it up at of all proportion. It is not the way to welcome someone to their first draft.

My last comment on the subject, lets get back to picking players.

[Red]

This is a fairly lame attempt at trolling a draft.

 

[mr_mister]

i believe he's being sincere.


anyway let's just move on.

 

[Test_Fan_Only]

Red Hill is now on my ignore list so I will not be able to see their picks.

Red Hill is now on my ignore list so I will not be able their picks.

I don’t think you realise that people are actually trying to make you feel welcome here and fit in but every time someone does you seem to fly off the handle at them.

 

[Test_Fan_Only]

Another one for the ignore list

 

[Teuton]

Ankitj timed out so I will go

Gordon Greenidge

 

[mr_mister]
