A former guild member who left the guild, in a not friendly manner, from time to time appears and makes snide comments in threads I either start or post to. I am just curious if this has happened to anyone else. I just ignore the comments, but sometimes it gets a little old. If it happens in game that is where it should stay, not to be carried onto the forum as harassment.

Strangly enough, no, which is odd considering how easily I can get people to hate me. Although I'm willin' to be alteast 50% of this forum has a hatred of me.

I saw the reverse happen in-game, oddly enough.
Someone in Gunnar's Hold or Sifhalla, I forget which, was yelling at one of the GWG mods(not sure if I can say who) in all chat for banning them from GWG. It was pretty funny.

That happens a lot. And you were right to play it safe and not post the name.

It's a good indicator of how little of a real life they really have. Sad really.

The nice thing about vB forums is that you can ignore users by adding them to your ignore list (and unlike GW, there is no silly cap on the number you can ignore)

Snide comments could be considered as an attempt to flame or troll and can be reported to the mods.

*sigh* As usual, people just can't let go of grudges. They hate the fact that someone else is right, blah blah, the usual. Never happened to me. I ignore them anyway. Stuff. Bring on the kitties, please.

As strange as it seems I'm sure it's not that uncommon. There are a lot of ppl who take the game way too seriously to the degree it affects their RL relationships.

No. That would just be... well, kinda creepy really. I mean if they're really taking a game this seriously think about their mental state.

I have seen people rip into each other on the forums, but I figured that was cause one said something to the other, on the forums.

Hasn't happened to me yet, I think... if it did I didn't pay too much attention to it. I've heard of the other way around though, but once again, I don't recall it happening to me.

It happens allllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll (did I put enough l's?) the time. We delete a lot. We have our own forum version of GvG, PvP, & AvA.

Oh! But to talk personally, no. No one has carried a grudge from in game to the forums against me or from the forums to in game. I know... it's hard to believe. I know there are a few who would love to though. It would only be because I don't announce my character names though.

I never fall out with people nor do I feed trolls so it isn't something I have encountered. Don't let other people bother you otherwise they 'win' at their stupid mind games but, simultaneously, lose at life.

I have all of their threads bookmarked.

BY THE WAY, I beat him with a W/Me with blackout. Auto attack did the rest

I normally see people from the forums in game. Occasionally some of the people who have met me on the forum deign to whisper me and meet me. A lot of people in Guru are in TAM, which is funny.

I'm surprised Silly hasn't kicked me for disgracing TAM for my snide comments here

I dont really look at peoples IGN's unless I'm trading with them or there wispering me, and most the people that wisper me don't use guru, and I don't trade often with people I dont know, so i guess i dont bump into people that seem to hold a grudge. And if I do, then they dont tell me lol

Oh wow, thank you so much for reminding me of this. I needed a good read.

As for me, I'm not one to hold grudges period so I don't take them from the game to the forum or vice versa. But there are some people on this forum who bug me a bit, but that's not a big thing.

Well, I had a guy (kid) here who I got in a silly debate with here. After I stopped posting in his thread (realized there is no reasoning with those who have no reason ) he started PMing me here. I didn't bother to respond to that either just LOLed. He then PMed me in game trying to continue the "fight" LOL told him that a debate on guru hardly qualifies as important as a shaving cut let alone "fight" laughed and blocked him.

Yeah, that's when I learned...some ppl need indoor helmets and stopped displaying my ign.

Pretty much the same here. On top of that I only make an effort to remember the names of people I like and never pay attention to the ones I do not. Some people do carry grudges and they carry them for a LONG time. I find my self to be happier to forget it about 10 seconds after the conversation is done (not that I don't argue, just that a week after the argument I couldn't tell you who I was arguing with as I don't care).

In other venues I have had people who later became friends say they were surprised because of something that happened earlier - I rarely ever know what they are talking about.

It is pretty annoying that they bug you, that can't be denied. However, I do hope you realize how unbelievably low that person is being. Having grudges in a game is one thing, but carrying it onto a forum??? That almost reaches passes the point of pity to hilarity!

I joined that guild with all those famous gurus in it. I didnt get along with one of the members (I dont think [s]he is on these forums). Anyway, I ended up getting kicked and Ive never had a problem on here about it.
