um, next time, if you have more to say, just click modify and modify your post instead of double posting.

Nothing wrong with double posting. I do it sometimes.

geez..what's with all the smiting? someone likes to hold grudges?

haha. I'm an Animorphs fan through and through. I thought this would be a site where Animorphs fans come together and talk about the series and how great it was. Apparently some people are only interested in arguing and smiting others. ouch.

I went to the window and looked up at the stars. Somewhere up there, around one of those
cold, twinkling stars, was the Andalite home world. Somewhere up there was . . . hope.

<They'll come,> Tobias said. <The Andalites will come. And until then . . . >

I nodded and wiped away my tears. "Yeah," I said. "Until then, we fight."

I think it's time you get off your soap box and drop it.  Smart people don't congregate simply to agree on things.  Sorry.

I don't know, guys. I thinks this might be one of those times when you can't really blame anyone for what happened in the last book. Rachel did take on a risky mission, but someone had to do it.  I think Rachel's character contributed to the events in the last book, but so did all the Animorphs, the Yeerks, and who ever else was in the story did so as well by either making a decision or choosing not to make a decision. That makes it hard to place the blame on just one character. I think authors and directors do that sort of stuff alot. It makes you think about the movie or book more when it is less clear who you can blame.

And then they sell more books!

And make more $$$ ;)

I didn't know we were all supposed to be smart wotw....that's besides the point. Obviously someone has a grudge against me as I'm being smited 2 times a day. I never said we are all supposed to agree about everything, but you are quite the hostile one, aren't you?

I have yet to encounter anyone on this site who wouldn't qualify "smart" (yourself included).  Willingness to read anything is usually indicative of intelligence.  

I have no grudge against you but I don't appreciate personal uncalled for attacks.  Stay on topic and we will never have a problem again.

I am actually almost never hostile (except during hockey games when people get whiny about contact - It's HOCKEY!  I mean come on!).

You should, however, work on your conflict resolution skills.  Constantly provoking people with things like...

is unwise and inappropriate.  Frankly, it deserves a smiting or two.  And if you can't debate someone who disagrees with you civilly, perhaps you should be more careful about stating your own beliefs.

If you let this drop I won't smite you again.  I would appreciate you doing the same as I have done absolutely nothing to you.  I've so far given you pretty much one smite for every off topic response.

Let it drop.

Look under the person's name on the left hand side of their post.  It says "Karma" beneath the name and "applaud" or "smite" underneath that.

If someone makes a particularly good point you applaud them (gives them a +1 to the count under their name).  If someone insults you or steps out of line you can smite them giving them a -1.

You can smite/applaud someone once every 2 hours.
 
Some people care about their scores, some don't.

Hope that is clear.  ;D

No...you should have it as far as I know.  I remember having it as soon as I signed up...

Might want to ask Richard in the "Suggestions/Feedback/Issue" forum at the bottom of the mainpage.

Lol, definitely.  But be careful in case you get mixed up in a problem like I'm unfortunately in at the moment (see above).  Just always try to be nice even when you're disagreeing and stay on topic, away from personal attacks. 


i.e. think about what you type before you post...
