I don't think attempting to artificially raise a stock price is "no reason to criticize".

I my opinion you should be fined the 25% they warn of in the TOS

Toughen up... There is a time and place to be sensitive. Such as funerals, weddings, the world series and such.

UMMMMMMM?????????????????????? what happened here?

dont go looking for sympathy; they will just rip your throat out and laugh at you for trying to have a discussion with them

been here 2 months now...but what does m_novotny control?

EVOTE PAYS OUT TOMORROW!!!!!!!!! YAAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHAT HAPPENED WITH ROCT? WHY SUCH A BIG DROP?

get a life

Hmm, let's see, Pgindie... You've told me to screw myself (or something like that), called me a stupid retard, and told me to go BACK to hell because you were intolerant of my opinion.

In addition, my dear Pgindie, you continually fail to spell my handle correctly. On the internet, that's like calling me by the wrong name. If it's too much to type, I'll share an ancient Chinese secret with you: COPY and PASTE. Google them if you don't know what I mean.

Also, my criticisms were not without motive, but you have shown yourself incapable of understanding my motives, so we'll let that one slide. One of them, keeping the forums organized, has been shot to hell anyway.

I'm curious as to what age has to do with it. If you're old enough to post in the forum, you're old enough to put your foot in your mouth and get called out about it, same as everyone else.

In conclusion: Can we start over? No, we can't... the bell can never be unrung. Can we be friends? Perhaps... the next move is yours. Be nice to me, and I'll be nice back; if you act stupid I'll let you know. That's a service I provide free of charge to friends, enemies, and acquaintances alike.

Kirby: I don't think I control anything here, but apparently my good will is desired by certain parties. Don't ask me why, I don't know.

kcondon: I'm with you. This is the internet... if one can't take the heat, then one shouldn't be in the kitchen.

I'm m_novotny and I approve this message. Come see me in the world famous www [dot] ppxchat [dot] com chatroom.

As a 14 year old, Novey made fun of me. As a result, I shot myself repeatedly in the head with something that hurt.
Seriously, you two, grow up. Pig 'n' die, learn to take it. He doesn't hate you personally, you're just showing your ass and he's calling you out for it.

Pgindie, there are others on her around your age and then there are not.
milk myself and others have had to work our ways up in the ppx status you best bet is to let it go and just play along
that is what i did.

come join us on www.ppxchat.com
but i will worn you m_ is on there so take your changes

chuckle...i am asumming milkweed was kicked out for having a good sense of humor...hey don't worry kid=pgndie. they are like this. you cant show your face on ppx w/o it getting ripped off everynow and then? anyways, skin does grow back, right? for me thats every week or so. i have lain low for awhile and here i am waiting to scrape it all off.

it really doesnt hurt...alot

its amazing how i don't bleed on the show=KIrby Right back at you YAH!

I'm 15 and I don't blatantly insult people for expressing their opinions. When I disagree with something, I express my viewpoint and display counterarguments and we all come to a rational conclusion in the end.

I think m_novotny is a very smart person who you can easily get along with if you actually take the time to understand his political/moral stances on many world issues/events/etc. I like him because he doesn't stop and think about the many biases that might be in disagreement with him, and rather sticks to plain and simple logical thought.

pgindie, let me tell you, in the mIRC room, there are a couple of guys there, young like yourself, that have been called "target" for a while. They take it, and they dish it. They are all good guys... And yes, some of us old folks get a little out of hand, but we always strive to make the good point. mike is a good guy, but he can be a little rough sometimes. The WORST thing you can do on here is react right away. Chill out, come to the chat room, and make nice. See how we all act together. Seriously, it is fun there. Talk to both fishers, avatarmage, and a few of the others. They will tell you we give them a healthy ribbing. What makes them well liked is that they are willing to stick it out.

Now mike, stop fuming. You cannot DCC a roundhouse kick to his CPU, no matter how much you try.

Hey Y'all,

I just skimmed this thread, and it's not really my business, looks like, but here's my two cents: please everyone be civil and compassionate, even if you feel strongly someone doesn't deserve it. I try to remember that every day in the subway... and it works in PPX and everywhere else too. We're all adults here (14 and 15 year olds, are, in my book, adults).

Barrt814-- good post. The chat room is a good place for people to interact, nice n' layed back and friendly-style.

Thanks,

t

Science is reinventing play, from extreme sports to gamification to ridiculous roller coasters to the playgrounds of tomorrow, and this issue is chock full of fun. Also, on a less fun note: Did global warming destroy my hometown?
