Yeah, I appreciate all of this guy's posts, but the Calumon thing is just annoying as fuck.
And the worst part is that I can't just not read it. It's there. I compusively must see what it says!

Do you get that too?

Actually yes I do. Once I start reading something I can't stop. It's why I have a love/hate with tvtropes.com

Yeah. I had no idea that trope tvtropes will ruin your life was actually real until I realized just how many hours I spent looking up all the crap I do. Honestly does anyone really feel a burning need to know what the hell anime anatomy is?

Why is half this thread complaining about Calumon?

It's none of your business how others choose to post. If you don't like it, just ignore it and move on.

Because it's annoying to us! Putting useless crap after everything you post and making it look like another character says it is not cute, funny, or endearing in any way. It's just a waste of time and effort to type and read and you can bet it's going to be read just because it's one of those things that you look at and think "What is wrong with this person? Does he have some sort of mental problem that makes him type these things after every post? Should he seek medical help? What am I to do with this?".

Rather than wasting my time picking apart your argument, I'm just going to refer you back to my first post:

If you don't like it, just ignore it and move on.

Unforgotten Realms was flash, wasn't it? 'Cause I nominate it. :D

Also, I think the whole Calumon thing is awesome, though being as upset about the English translation of that awesome show as I am, I feel the responsibility to point out that the name is actually "Culumon." But you know, whatever.

No. Pick apart my argument. You asked why we didn't like it and I gave you my answer. Now the metaphorical ball is in your court.

I pretty much agree and was one of the first people to call wtf on it. But since people have gotten suspensions for "flaming" against it my best recommendation is just to put him on ignore. It is honestly the only solution and he is technically free to do it despite it being annoying/ making people think he is honestly a tad mental. But in the end think of it this way, there are clearly people who don't like it and you aren't the only one and because of this he isn't exactly garnering any favor with what one might think to be an act to curry people's favor through "cuteness".
And to those supporting it, my person stance on it, it is fairly distracting and I have never had anyone on any ignore list for anything. He is the first and only person on any ignore list ever for me.

That said, on topic, anything from the "Awesome" series gets my vote, ie Left 4 Awesome, Metal Gear Awesome...etc.

Oh crap that's right! I forgot to contribute to the topic at hand. I nominate anything from the parody rangers series.

Honestly, I thought people were more mature than this. Fine then.

Putting useless crap after everything you post and making it look like another character says it is not cute, funny, or endearing in any way.
That's a matter of opinion really. Some might find it adorable/hilarious.

It's just a waste of time and effort to type and read
If he wants to take the extra time to write it, that's his business.
And it takes all of, what? A second and a half, maybe, to read it?

and you can bet it's going to be read just because it's one of those things that you look at and think "What is wrong with this person? Does he have some sort of mental problem that makes him type these things after every post? Should he seek medical help? What am I to do with this?"
I read it because it was there to be read. I didn't instantly ask myself those questions - that must be personal experience you're speaking from. I doubt everybody thinks along the same lines as you.
I found it quite refreshing. It's a change from the monotony of reading an ordinary post.
He presented the topic in an appealing way that helps hold your attention and keep it interesting.

There, happy?

Actually yes I am. I'm happy you actually took the time to respond to the answer to a question that you asked.
It was pretty much a rhetorical question in the first place.

I didn't mean "why is everyone complaining", so much as "stop complaining and grow up".

That's just it. We're not the ones who need to grow up. We're secure enough to find posting as ourselves acceptable. We don't have to take some fictional character in a kid's anime and pretend that he's sitting next to us typing halves of posts in an attempt to make complete strangers on the internet accept us. I'm sure there's a medical term for that but I'm not going to be arsed to look it up.

You really think everyone else posts as themselves? Hate to tell you, but this place (and the internet in general) is full to the brim of people hiding behind fake personalities.
You really think everyone is this polite and kind to each other in real life?
How about the people who make every one of their posts a joke? Are they really like that?

Anyway, I'm tired and irritable (as you might have noticed - I'm usually quite friendly), so I'm gonna go get some sleep. Nice to meet ya.

I'm not naive enough to believe everyone posts as themselves. I'd like to believe the majority do or at least come close if that's even possible.

Also sleep does sound like a very good idea. I think i'll follow suit.
