I'll stop posting the photo because Alex asked me to. I find it beyond pathetic that you're attempting to frame yourself as the innocent party- you're not.

Also the reason why I posted it was to express how much of a dick I think you are.

The whole Starburst/Opal Fruits debacle still hurts to this day.

"1) I've seen articles on the Internet where that picture you post of Picard is used to specifically say:

"Words cannot express how disappointed I am with your sexuality, and what it will eventually become.""

Google Picard Facepalm and see what you get. For reference look here in Urban Dictionary and if you can find one reference to a facepalm being a expression of disapproval for your sexuality I'll buy you a rainbow coloured spaceship that runs on the power of pure love.

"2) So, even though I am not a homosexual, I think it is incredibly offensive that you are either deliberately or accidentally using the Picard picture to send a message to me saying that people on this website may some day become a homosexual, in what I interpret to be an offensive way."

And in English what the hell do you mean here? Do you understand how even by your own rather low standards this makes absolutely no sense? Can you honestly blame people if they openly wonder if you're over medicated?

All I take from that is that your offended that some people might be gay, what's so offensive about being gay?

"3) I am currently doing business in the U.K., which means this picture of Picard you post has an even greater affect on me. I really think I could get you in quite a bit of trouble, especially since there are some violent anti-homosexual groups who use that picture of Picard as a symbol of hatred."

I suspect that you aren't in the UK, hell I'd go as far to say that you're probably not even on this planet. However feel free to report me to the police-

0845 113 5000 ask to be put through to Little Park Street as that's my local station - and see what they say.

"4) You have broken laws by posting that picture of Picard. As I said, that particular picture you often post is used as a symbol of hatred by at least one group I know of. Now that you know this, it truly is a poor decision to continue posting that picture."

With your simplistic argument I suspect that you're probably a 14 or 15 year high school student and as you own a 360 I'm guessing that you're probably in North America. Well this is a website for ADULTS who play video games and ADULTS who make video games.

Piss off to Gamespot where you belong.

"5) Your IP Address can be tracked, too...And you will be identified as the person who "started" the conflict on this website."

Make an official complaint- I REALLY REALLY want you to make an official complaint.

"6) You will also be identified as the person who did not accept a professionally written offer to avoid conflicts like this in the future by not posting any more pictures. Remember, I am the courteous one who offered to end this peacefully."

I will post that facepalm every time you post something because frankly it's funny and you deserve to not taken seriously because everything you utter is the biggest pile of absolute gobshite that I have ever read. That says a lot coming from me as I've posted my fair share of shite in my time.

"7) Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo all have policies in place to work properly with people in a way that is not based on sexual orientation. Those companies are behaving perfectly. The only company that may be seen as culturally out of line is Sony, because they recently closed Japanese factories and fired Japanese employees. This violates the Japanese tradition of hiring an employee for a lifetime."

You see, you can't even have one single conversation without bringing in your ridiculous "must bash Sony" campaign into it. What the fuck does Sony sacking people in Japan have to do with homophobia?

Wanna talk about homophobia? How about gay people being booted off XBOX LIVE for being gay and or bi-sexual and daring to put that on their profiles? Granted they've now rectified that but it was fairly draconian*.

*Look it up or ask a teacher.

"8) No, you are lucky you are not a militant gay. Based on what I have seen here, I doubt someone like you would be able to avoid "telling.""

I said militant not military numb nuts. If you don't understand what that means perhaps you should attend your classes rather than spend time pretending to be some industry insider. America's tax dollars well spent, I think not.

Also why the fuck shouldn't I feel comfortable being open about my sexuality? In any case I've been on here for a few years now and I bet to most people the fact that I "came out" on here is the first they knew about it.

"9) Do you see where I'm going with this? In a Tennis court the ball bounces both ways. That symbol of Picard makes me feel awful because I see it as a sign of hatred against sexuality. Although this doesn't apply directly to me, it applies to others I know. I don't like that, and I will have to report it if you continue to post that picture."

You've made absolutely no coherent argument so no I don't see where you're going with this and I refuse to consume the narcotics need in order to get me in the same frame of mind as you.

"10) You have no right to tell me to "Go away," any more than I have a right to tell you to go away. Both of us have a right to speak freely and openly. I have apologized for potentially offending you or hurting you, and I have courteously asked you not to post any more pictures of Picard. The best thing for both of us to do at this point in time is to avoid those types of pictures that send a negative message."

Go away.

"Like I said in my other comment, I have no plans of proactively posting a picture from this point on. However, I consider the picture of Picard offensive and I will not hesitate to defend myself in an aggressive way if need be. I wish you the best, Arron, and I hope you have a nice weekend.

Sincerely,
Industry Insider"

I hope your parents take your internet away from you and I hope you get out of the house more.

Could you just point me to where I said the pictures were the issue? The issue is the blatant homophobia that is apparent in the WORDS he/she chose to accompany those pictures.

I suspect that you either don't understand what's being discussed or you're wading into something in order to have a go at me- either way perhaps now might be a good time to leave it alone?

DRM only seems to hurt legitimate gamers. Be gone with it I say.
