Sarariman: Yes, I thought that if I spoke of “the first Icewind Dale” it was clear I was playing the second.
It was not clear to anybody not knowing your mind. That is because of two reasons:
1. You make assumptions that everybody else knows precisely what you're talking about.
2. Because of '1', you do not put things into context.

It is precisely for the above reasons that when a forum caters for more than one game, any poster absolutely should indicate very clearly which game they are referring to.
Actually, it was clear if you managed to think about it. If I mentioned “the first Icewind Dale,” I must have been playing either IWD2 or the Enhanced Edition, whose name leads me to believe it's just a jazzed-up version of the other two, so I'd still have been playing IWD2. What else might I have been talking about?

You offer up a half-assed “analysis” of my character, so here's some similar speculation in return: If you go on about something so unimportant at such length, you're a boring bastard.

Get it into your head: it WAS NOT CLEAR. I DID think about it, but did not connect what you were thinking; YOU were thinking.

I gave no analysis of your character, I gave reasons that people would not connect what you said to what you were/are thinking. You continue to defend your assertion that people should know what you are thinking, which suggests something entirely contrary to your slur above. Nice move...
I explained why my remark was clear: What else could I have been talking about? If you wish to bellow that it WAS NOT CLEAR again and again and again, you'll have to answer that. You protested that you offered no analysis of my character but merely gave reasons why people wouldn't connect with me, however that's an analysis of my character, albeit a crap one.

Your remark was clear to you, nobody else. You have explained why *you* think it was clear. It is patently obvious that you are incapable of seeing things from anybody else's point of view -- you're right, ergo everybody else is wrong. You also have a very hard time grasping simple concepts: I never protested anything; I never offered any analysis. Please feel free to continue blathering. I will continue to keep putting you right, if you wish.
I explained why my comment should have been clear to anyone who spent a moment thinking about it, and you can't answer me: What could I have been talking about other than IWD2? I made this point twice; are you failing to grasp this simple concept? Are you unable to see from my point of view?

You bloviate that you never protested or analyzed anything after four posts of protest and analysis.

Considering how bad you are at it, you're welcome to keep putting me right.

Oh, poor, silly fellow, that one's easy, but I'll give you a hint... how about IWD1?

I spent *two days* thinking about it, while I was attempting to help you. Guess that didn't factor into your tirade, did it?

Parroting as well? Oh dear!
I spoke of “the first Icewind Dale,” which indicated that I was playing something else, and that can only have been IWD2. And this left you flummoxed for two days? Of course, with it being the fourth time I've said this, you evidently don't have much a learning curve.

What you call parroting I call repeating you mockingly, of which you shouldn't complain.

You really are as dense as you sound, aren't you. Oh, and if you're going to try to mock, at least take some lessons first; it's not working.
Right. So you've spent a number of posts going on about how my initial post wasn't obviously about IWD2 despite my explaining why it was four times. You can't prove your point. And your losing the argument makes me dense. I suppose that given your lackluster skillset, you have to claim that a defeat is a stunning victory if you're to live with yourself.

You just don't get it, do you? You claiming what you said is clear does not make it so, except for *you*. That is what you don't grasp; that is why I said you are dense. I'm going to say this one more time only, because frankly, I know when somebody has their head in the sand: It was clear to YOU, not me. Get it?
I don't get it because there's nothing to get. Claiming that my first post was clear can be taken as true because YOU ARE UNABLE TO SHOW HOW IT WASN'T – I couldn't have been speaking of anything other than IWD2. I've now explained myself five times but you don't get it. After five explanations, who's the one with his head in the sand? Who's dense?
Just as I thought.
Based on the quality of your posts, what you thought was nothing at all. There's certainly no evidence of it.

Oh dear.
The first post was not clear. Not undecipherable, but not clear.
Hickory is one of the most helpful Forum dwellers around, though sometimes doesn't realize when it's time to move on.

Time to move on.
