it's oblivious because you're so focused on hammering your point (which honestly nobody disagrees with (and nobody in this forum thinks that DMs are (as a group) more bloated and inflamed than I do)) that you've missed the entire other half of the discussion. I guess if you just want the thread to be a one-way box into which you cast your miraculous insights, it's not oblivious. But in the context of what other people are saying in addition to what you've said, it is.

I didn't say I didn't know if it was posted on the website, I said I didn't know what the actual rule said. I can see now why you're having so much trouble with this discussion, you reply to what you wanted to read rather than what was actually written.

right, this is where you went off the rails, you took a comment using "you" in the coloquial manner as referring to a generic group (which anyone who has spoken english for more than a year or two understands) as referring to you specifically and reacted to it in the most bad faith way possible to drive the discussion into this ditch. Congrats.

but in reality regardless of what people "should" do and regardless of what the posted order is (or, even, the ad-hoc order dreamed up by the GA on the fly), people do what they want. And some people blow a gasket any time their subordinates do not hold THE RULES in the highest possible regard. That's how the issue ends up being discussed here in this thread.

Sure, my guy. You totally meant those uses of "you" and "your fweewings", etc., in the colloquially generic sense, and not in any way directed at me or my comments. :rolleyes:

In any case, I'm not going to contribute (further) to this rabbit trail derailing a thread that is over a decade old. We can agree to disagree about the entire discussion.

People do what they want, absolutely, I agree with you on that. At the same time though, people doing what they want doesn't make something right. But regardless if people are doing what they want or not, they are still by default in the wrong if doing what they want entails breaking the procedure. I also agree with your point about people blowing gaskets, I just think if people here are gonna blow gaskets over like Main 2 people hogging the gate area or trying to board early, DM's shouldn't get special treatment for doing the same thing.

can we start talking about snobby, self-entitled people and stories again please?

nobody thinks they're right, if they did, they wouldn't be posting in this thread

Then let's just agree that we have common ground here and agree to disagree on specific technicalities, I too would rather get back to the snobby stories.

ok, bud. main character syndrome.

Please

Please

Last word please

Please?

I've eaten too much popcorn reading the latest ongoings of this thread in the past couple of weeks. Thank you for the entertainment. I agree it is time to move on to the "snobby" DYKWIA stories we have grown accustomed to instead of infighting.

How many rounds are we into this fight?

If we got 1 MQD per round, we’d all be DM’s and then could debate whether we board with or after first class. :D
