Would some of of you please tell how I've been disrespectful in those other threads?

Very well. Next time, be more careful about making open wishes. We'll answer them.
The universe is, instant by instant, re-created anew. There is, in truth, no Past, only a memory of the Past. Blink your eyes, and the world you see next did not exist when you closed them. The only appropriate state of the mind is surprise. The only appropriate state of the heart is joy. The sky you see now, you have never seen before. The perfect moment is now. Be glad of it.

If you don't read the rules completely, then you can hardly complain about the consequences for breaking them.

And RAFians tend to be a friendly bunch. If you are ever unsure of something, ASK.

On topic, I don't consider any of the first 10 books to be filler since it's so early in the series and we are only just being introduced to everything.

For the millionth time, I was referring to the posting icons and their abilities like the quoting thing that Estelore whin-ER!-informed me about....

I didn't need to read the lengthy diatrabe that everyone needs to be nice here. It's common sense and I am in no way, shape or form trying to exempt myself from the consequences.

Yes. Friendly people. Anthony Fremont friendly people...

I know some of this has already been said, but I feel like it needs to be repeated.

Yorick, congratulations on being back on the forum for about 5 seconds before annoying everyone. I thought I made it clear that further bad behaviour would get you banned. I'm in a bad mood anyway, but I'm going to try and be reasonable with you.

It's your own fault that you chose to ignore (or not even read) the forum rules and ignorance is no excuse. It's common sense that insulting people and triple posting aren't allowed on any forum. I would also think that after receiving a severe warning and a 3 day ban, you might have tried to tone down your obvious bad attitude.

Finally, please do not go off topic or continue this argument in this thread. This applies to everyone, not just Yorick. If you want to argue, do it via PM.

This is your last chance Yorick.

Believe me, you don't know how much I held back.

I don't mean to annoy anyone. I just want to get to the bottom of things. I' annoyed myself but I haven't cursed anyone out and haven't yelled at anyone or done anything like that so far. I haven't displayed any bad behavior( and I most certainly toned down my attitude).

Like I said before already, not only did I not know you would even care about something like triple posting and I DON'T KNOW HOW TO ACCESS THAT QUOTE FEATURE.

I'm not excusing anything at all. Why aren't you listening to me? I'M the one trying to be reasonable now.

You know what? I will discuss this someplace else or not at all. I see I''m not going anywhere. Go back to debating fillers.

Just ban him, he's a dick.

You know, you should've edited out all of the books on that list that weren't filler.

#19, #32, #33? Give me a break. Aftran and Tobias being tortured were significant plot points. #32 and #41 are character development.

It could be argued that NONE of the Animorphs books are filler.

I think I've made it clear that I don't like Yorick either, but please refrain from insulting other members.

I agree that you could consider none of the books fillers, but that's only because everyone has their own opinion of what a filler book is. And I don't like to make a habit of editing people's posts. Those books he listed are his own opinion of which books were fillers, and I have no right to edit his opinion, even if I disagree with it. I only edited the post to add in the numbers of the books because I'm sure there are people here who aren't as familiar with the books (since many of you don't own them all).

I didn't list The Illusion. Before you insult me, please get your facts straight.

Character development is important so that's why I didn't list something like The Alien but what plot or character progression do we have in The Separation and The Familiar.

Phoenix, I can take it if someone insults me. Believe it or not but I AM glad that you can put ytour personal feelings aside for the benefit of equal treatment but being polite really should be more of a suggestion than a rule. I CAN take it. It's just a forum.

Take this post as you will and shrug me off as jsut being inconsiderate or dumb but I really am being grateful and sincere. All I can do is tell the truth at this point.

Remember that thing we said about STAYING ON-TOPIC?
We meant it. Please get over yourself or go away.
Thanks.


As fillers go, I think maybe (#12?) the one with the Jaguar and the Sario Rip is...less vital than other books, perhaps.

...Wow. Can't say I wasn't being mature, courteous, respectful and polite towards Phoenix. I will shut up though. I don't think I can take this any longer.

"As fillers go, I think maybe (#12?) the one with the Jaguar and the Sario Rip is...less vital than other books, perhaps.:"

You're thinking about #11 The Forgotten

*nods* 12 is the allergy one, which is also pretty filler-ish.

11 is debatable about being filler, though, since Sario Rips come up again in Megamorphs #2.

Speaking of Meagmorphs, though, I'd personally consider MM#1 to be filler.

In MM #1 Cassie gets the humpback whale morph, which she uses in at least one other book that I remember.

I wouldn't count 35 as filler because it goes straight into Visser. And either way, that's still only 3 filler books out of 10 books narrated by marco.

yeah, but that's like one paragraph at the very end. The books plot was practically 12 all over again: freaky morphs, celeb boosting the sharing, the only real no thing was nora, and see was a minor character before they axed her

And I will always count 33 as filler, I couldn't stand this holy, o poor tobias, by the way, here is some magic memories of daddy.
wtf? anyone, anyone; wtf?

"I hated him starting from when he put cassie as his least favorite, even below the auxilaries. Ok, so that's not really fair, since everyone can have their own opinion, but I still didn't like him. After that, I really don't like him."

I never even ranbked the auxilaries. You have me confused with someelse who has Cassie as their least fave.

Also, you can't dislike a person for having a different opinion.

which is why I said it wouldn't be fair...

oh really. sorry then. I apologise. still, you do hate cassie.

now back on topic.

getting morphs shouldn't count as being filler. they get fly morphs in #6 but that's considered filler.
