Enough with the Elitism
By Afania 2018-04-11 14:57:39
you can disagree with reality all you want but take it from me. the second you put on the white coat with the really really long sleeves your nose with get itchy.
fairness and unfairness/hot and cold/good and evil/light and dark
Perhaps I used the wrong word then.....
OP received more upvote than most ah posts. That means what he said is something people want to read, objectively speaking.
In that way it's more useful than majority of other AH posts, thus not useless.
If someone doesn't like it, or disagree with it, or claim it's useless post, they are probably the minority.
It's also the obvious reason why the other thread gets removed. It has no market because it's not positive.
Human are jerks by nature, but majority of human also like the idea of being positive. Deal with it. Having your friends vote for something does not count. And fun fact there are more crybabies than strong individuals in the world. I don’t agree with the elitest attitude but I also know what makes them angry. That is by not acknowledging their exist or letting the childish statements of “look at his REMAs and look at mine.” That comment alone made the individual childish not elitest. By acknowledging their exist or statement puts them in the same boat. Hell this was taught to me in elementary school wtf are they teaching kids these days? Cry about it instead?
Majority of upvote wasn't his friend. They are just readers that agree with him.
His post also didn't scream "die elitists die" nor target at anyone, more like share feelings by reminding us to be humble after witness some forum drama. It only became Darian v.s Alfy thing a few pages after, it doesn't change the nature of original post.
I don't think there is anything wrong to remind us to stay humble all the time, he didn't criticize others harshly either.
If you read the OP post as another elitist crybaby post, then you missed his point completely.
Quote: This post isn't directed at anyone in particular, but more so at all of us including MYSELF, that needs to be reminded at times where we come from. There was no point or fact. It’s an opinion which means nothing and that’s a fact. I am sorry you missed the truth.
Point = opinion. They are the same, lol.
I didn't miss the truth. I made a statement that it's "feeling" right from the start. Basically stating it's opinion. I have never say OP is writing a college essay talking about facts.
His post also didn't scream "die elitists die" nor target at anyone, more like share feelings by reminding us to be humble after witness some forum drama.
Once again, he shared his feeling/opinion. Some people like it and upvote, some people don't. If you don't then just don't read.
I mean, what point are you trying to make? Tell mod to delete the the thread? Tell people what OP said is not fact when it wasn't fact to begin with? Don't get it.

I normally read the first sentence then the last sentence the rest I just assume is filler.

I’ll dumb it down for you:
The simple point I’m trying to make to you is the OP many times stated he was defending his friend but from what? Life? Against an adult child? If it was a positive post the title would not have been “enough with the elitism.” Instantly trying to group people which is incorrect. The true way to prove a point is to not create a dialogue to cause a possible channel for drama or arguement which this created. If you try to say different then you’re as blind as Ray Charles. At the end of day while others have tried to make you understand this whole thing is pointless and you will not see the truth. The only mature way to handle this is to agree to disagree if you can’t do that my point shows correct.

To be fair through this thread we find out it's about Darian and there's really nothing to be done about an idiot of that nature other than public shaming and mockery as they're clearly not going to listen to a private conversation.

But remember this was about being “positive” and “humble.” It might be influenced by what Darian did but if we use him as the medium then it becomes a picking on an individual which goes against the point of this OP.

We would all be more positive and humble without people like Darian around.

Ah, Drakenv, sorry but I was busy doing adult things. You seem a bit annoyed based on your reply to me. Do you want to find a safe space so you can cry about it some more, or shall we continue showing how stupid you are? It works for me either way, as I love helping others when they want to demonstrate their stupidity. Trolling the trolls, as it were.
Wait, did you use the word "mature" in a reply on here? I was not aware you could comprehend the meaning of that word given your rhetoric.

Look, I am flattered that I inspire you to basically copy me but please if you want to insult someone try to think of a original thought for once. I get it the memory of daddy hit an emotional nerve so bad that you couldn’t think for yourself but it’s okay. We all can give you a hug now :). And using the term, “we” proves you must have multiple personality disorder which is common in your situation.

Ok, first, your blunt and childish tactics have bored me long enough. 2nd, as stated in the original post, this was directed at no one and I have refrained from mentioning names the entire time. The fact others wanted to jump out with their own names or make themselves look like idiots (yourself included) is on yourselves.
The situation with my friend is what inspired me to write this post, not the end all of the what I was writing about. As I stated earlier in the chatter, he had already confronted him and settled the matter thus meaning me speaking up as a defender to that particular incident would be unneeded. I simply wanted to remind elitist jerks to remember where they come from. Which I have I have a right to my OPINION. I include myself in that because sometimes I forget that I started at the bottom.
Talking about the OP this and the OP that, I told you many pages ago, that none of your insults or quips phase me, i've read each and every one of them, laughing at all the mockery's to my name and insults to my post. Afania even stated, if you don't like it thats fine, you're entitled to your opinion just as much as I am to mine, even have to the right to speak out against it, by doing so kinda proves my point though. And btw, yes I am a guy

There'll always be the haves, and the have-nots.
let's say that you are a "have not" and I am a "have". just for the sake of making this important point. we both die simultaneously and I had a hundred smidgens and you had one smidgen.
who in death has more smidgens? -neither of us we both have no smidgens we're dead.
a miser with unimaginable wealth can have an unhappier life than someone who starves to death. so who dies richer?

I'd like to remind everyone that when you started this game you were just like we are, and like everyone else. Everyone starts at the bottom. There are no exceptions, especially in FFXI. It doesn't matter if you buy your account if you buy your REMA's, your gil, your clears or anything else that you may need.
You still have to learn how to play, still need to figure out macros, job style, gear, ja's, traits, combat styles, strategies and anything else that the game throws at us.
This post isn't directed at anyone in particular, but more so at all of us including MYSELF, that needs to be reminded at times where we come from.
Recently, a friend of mine was insulted on this forum, being told he failed at the game for only have a few REMA's, the number of REMA's are not the goal of the game or what makes a player great. It's the attitude one brings to the table, the inspiration they put into others and above all the knowledge they have of the jobs they play. I know several players that have all that with 0 REMA, and i'd play with them any day over those that have 10+ REMA. So if REMA makes you the great player that you are and gives you the right to **** on people then you need to remember where you come from, because you weren't always there, and maybe you need to go back there for a reminder.
<3 always Muri :P
