One question, is your making this thread any more mature than Melantes? The better person would have just said, okay, whatever and blisted them or something, but instead, you come onto the forums and post this in order to spread the word about it. It is just as childish as what he is doing. Possibly even more because more people are going to see this thread than the people that are going to see him /slap you. These types of forums are just ways for people like you to lift themselves up and look like the better perosn by 'warning' everyone else. Really, you are as you so elequently put it. If someone ticks me off in game, I confront them about it, and if they can't be mature about it, I blist them, I don't make a post and just ruin their name.

Xellith is more immature than Melantes because he posted this?

Hontoo rate me down... I don't know Melantes as well as a Melantes does (hopefully) but he used to be in a linkshell I was in. Melantes is not an ******* or a scammer. Yet he does like to 'hate' a lot. By 'a lot', I mean Melantes 'chooses' (even if it's an unconscious choice; must accept responsibility) to take everything negatively and react in kind to it. Naturally with this attitude on life you can tend to blow things out of proportion. The irony is that the more Melantes hates, the more people grow to dislike him. The more people grow to dislike him; the more Melantes hates. It's a vicious circle.

As far as creating a thread about Melantes. There is 'another' reason to opening a thread besides self gratification. The other reason is so simple you probably discount it but no matter. That reason is to 'punish' the opposing party. I agree that it serves no purpose to 'punish' Melantes because it just feeds into the cycle of hating. Yet saying Xellith is worest than Melantes for trying to 'punish' Melantes for said actions is erroneous IMHO.

In contrast, the solution I see is to simply ignore people's negative responses. We all make a choice (whether conscious or unconscious) on how we react to other people's actions or reactions. I don't mean to say 'forgive, and forget' but rather 'control yourself'. This game is what you put into it. If you are negative about everything then the game will be negative about everything. In contrast, if you 'try' to be positive and optimistic then the game will be more positive.

Melantes wouldn't hate you if he didn't precieve you as hating him. So my point is simple.

Don't be Hating! ^^

20k is chump change

im a whimpering baby? gimme a break. sure i came down to his level. wanna know why? because its all he understands. i tried to reason with him. he just sent me some profanities then blisted me. If i post here i know he gets it. basically like chatting in LS chat. (public)

He insulted me before and now i just wanna annoy him because i know i can. i dnot really care anymore. not about him anyways. Cant believe i took the time to write this? i cant believe you actually did what you did and then ran away so you didnt have to face me. that was funny as hell.

Basically im not upset with Melantes. i just like giving him sh*t. its funny to see what he will say or do next. i guess i just love his famous one liners.

Im not here to punish Melantes. more just give him hell for being abusive to everyone out there. i tried to be nice but noooo. He tries to be a bully and stuff. i dont let nobody push me around or think they got the better of me. Melantes is just a small fish in a big pond. He neds to realise the world dont revolve around him and that good things and bad things will happen and he has to take them in his stride and move on and learn from his mistakes. instead he is a "hater".

I can sink to this level because i know i am always gonna be better than Melantes. If he appologised to me then yeah i could say sorry back. I can admit when im wrong and can call a truce when i have to.

But this punk thinks he's the best thing since sliced bread. This just isnt the case (Note: i dont give a /toss about being mature or the better man. I just wanna see fools learn there lesson and/or move on).

I dont hate Melantes as much as this post makes you thnk. I wouldnt care if i ever saw him again or not. I just say all this stuff to annoy Melantes because its fun because i know that he sligtest thing will peev him off. I dont set out to annoy him or anything. i only post stuff like this if he starts something with me. (revenge is not a nice thing but its sweet and i love it)

Im normally a mellow person. i just like seeing this fool make an even bigger fool of himself. its amusing.

p.s.
Nobody foced anyone to read this. you read the topic then decided to read it. dont gimme any sh*t about me posting his for everyone to read. im not a coward. i can say what i want without hiding or running away.

It's threads like this that make you afraid to party with certain people. About a month ago I was hunting Jack and Melantes offered to party with me once I got the pop because he had TH2 and I only had TH1. I didn't do it cuz I was scared from what people had said here.

Then a few weeks ago I was in Qufim and our party needed a replacement DD. The next thing I know, our leader invited Melantes and I was a little hesitant once again after reading these boards. He came in and did a kick a$$ job as a NIN and we had no problems whatsoever. The best part though was what came next. When I had to disband he took the time to /tell me that I did a good job as a puller and that I was a good THF. When someone pays you a compliment that 9 out of 10 people you pick up party with won't, that makes them a little higher on my list than most people. But these boards/personal hate lists almost made me miss out on a good party experience with Melantes. Just my 2 gil.

I think people just remember Melantes, cuz it's an easy name to remember.

I actually encountered him twice in my FFXI. First one was in the Dunes the first round for me I was a subjobless newbie. Basically the PT I was in with him got me killed. I disbanded cuz I got killed (yea, I was a Noob once) and also cuz I had to log off in about an hour (whms can't leave PTs easily as melees). I think I got him a little upset, but I don't blame him...I acted inappropriately due to my Noobishness at the time. Sure it was my first encounter with a mad person that sent me nasty tells, and sure, I was a bit surprised but hey, it still happens at my current lvl :P (It's all part of the training!)

Second time was in Yhoator Jungle (I can't spell without auto-translator, so excuse me on that). I was in a double WHM party, and when I came on as a second WHM in his PT, I was greeted with a "We don't need another stinkin' WHM! We're getting P-lvled" So I thought, "Whoa, this guy remembers me from the Dunes, and he's STILL angry at me?" Not wanting any confrontation, I offer to leave, but my WHM friend says I should stay. So I stay, do my thing, and he actually sent me a /tell to apologize for the rude comment.

...I haven't seen him or been in a PT since with him... So it could be that if one reacts to his comments, it just gets worse. I think some ppl think that it's OK to get a bit aggressive, masked by the animated characters and hidden behind the internet. But afterall, I'd like to think that we are all rational, socially adjusted ppl behind it and that we would eventually realize to take note of how one's actions can make the other feel, and perhaps, take a little more consideration when reacting/acting to certain situations... All I wish is for that more people, including Xellith and Melantes can see this as well :) be more considerate to eachother.

However, I do agree with Xellith how harassing WHMs (who don't have much means of income cuz we can't kill much, and if one can't craft, Outerland Teleports are a pretty good source of income..)just because Melantes had a bad day can be a non-issue. That's just not right...

Just a thought from this little taru.

Wow... all this just 'cause of someone dropping a few [/slap]s?

i agree with both sides, even though i've never met Melantes. sound liek Melants has a notoriously bad reaction to things, but that's okay, he's allowed to do that. but getting annoye dto teh point of making a thread on here abotu it... that's a bit much... save it for the REALLY offensive ones, liek the guys who /check you twice, /stare, then send you a /tell that reads: "[Hume] [Hand] [job] [can i have it?] 50 gil!" I won't name names, 'cause i already asked a GM to look into the matter. but that sort of thing is what should be mentioned here, not who slapped who... >_<;;

Remember folks, it's a game... let's get out there and try to make it enjoyable for everyone, yeah?

This game is/will be the downfall of you all

This isn't a game, This is life.. In fact just the other day my professor started shouting "2,000 gil for Test answers, /tell Professor".

On a side-note, take these topics to your linkshell, I met melantes once, didn't bother me and talked to me a bit about emperor spawning forever. I have no beef, but from what I've seen on these forums I'd say he likes to talk before he thinks..

Anyways.. Calling someone a fool because they got scammed and then expecting a reply along the lines of "Oh my god your so right, please demoralize me more by pointing out the fact I mistook another's trust to be sincere", is foolish in itself.

Anyways, stop bickering and help me level Mah Dragoon. :)
