Now think about that. Don't go off on them, the last thing they'll care about is some teenager with a potato gun who just gave them a rant. Be civilised, use proper grammar, syntax, and spelling. And for the love of God, don't cuss them out.

Sorry, i meant that.
I used proper grammar etc. and was civilised.
In English we just did an essay which was a "letter to convince someone about something" so I think i did the email OK, The essay probably not so good

.

Cha'mone people keep pressure on them!

Edit- Post the replies they give you.

You mind PMing me the contents of the email you sent? I just want to take a look at it?

And anyone else who's going to send one, maybe send it my way, or the way of a mod to take a look at it. I'm not a mod, but I have experience with things like this, it might be a good idea to get a second opinion from someone before you send it.

Redcoat · Mon Sep 03, 2007 9:35 pm

Sorry Paaiyan, but I'm using hotmail and my "sent messages" folder is empty

.(anyone mind telling me why?)
When they reply i will post it because it will be there.

What a croc, that original press realease is full of untruths.
Liars, damn liars i tell ya

paaiyan · Mon Sep 03, 2007 9:36 pm

Alright. I'd just hate to see spudfiles get bad press because someone cusses out the news station and mentioned spudfiles.

EDIT: Yes novacastrian, lies and idiocy, but most members of the public believe what the news stations say, because it's the news, how can they be wrong right?

Redcoat · Mon Sep 03, 2007 9:37 pm

nah i didn't mention Spudfiles and i kept it as civilised as possible.
I Started with, "Dear Sirs,"

and I signed it with Esquire after my name. 8) .(yes i know it means i have to own land but what the hell i was in the spur of the moment.)

i hate these fuckers, lmao, some dumbass dies and they decide to ban the thing that killed him, even though his death was a direct result of his stupidity! its along the same lines as the brady campaign to end handgun violence, some guy uses a gun and hits this guy brady and they go on thsi tangent and now handguns are more regulated. spudguns dont kill people, people kill people. if people exersized a little responsibility they wouldn't kill themselves. in a MA town some lady managed to decapitate herself with a 3" mortar(firework) in front of her 3 children, and when my mom saw the story, her first word was, oh, fireworks are dangerous. not if you dont point them at your head they're not. seriously people, if you arent retarted with something, its not going to hurt you.

paaiyan · Mon Sep 03, 2007 9:38 pm

That's a nice touch, lol. And as for the hotmail sent items being empty, usually you have to specify that you want things saved there.

I disagree with you beebs. I think handguns should be regulated like thay are. Yes, people kill peopls, but handguns are easily concealable and make it much easier to do so. And you said fireworks aren't dangerous. Yes, they are inherently dangerous. It's just that you can avoid said dangers through proper precautionary methods.

oh okay.

Have you emailed them Paaiyan or do you like to spectate?
(I do that alot).

I hope they get the gist though and they actually change some of the article.

paaiyan · Mon Sep 03, 2007 9:42 pm

I'm not so much specatating as I am analyzingf the situation. And I shot a thought to PCGUY before I did anything.

Redcoat · Mon Sep 03, 2007 9:43 pm

good on you paaiyan. Your agood person, remember that

paaiyan · Mon Sep 03, 2007 9:45 pm

I'm a careful person. Always remember, once words have been spoken, they are a part of the past, and time is a thing that cannot be moved back.

Do you mind if i quote you in my theory of knowledge paper paaiyan? I'm trying to make a 1000 words on what beauty is and i'm at the point of throwing random shit in to get there.
Sadely my damn parents read the stupid article while i was taking a leak, so i've spent the last hour explaining to them why this dumb ass was a... lack of a better word, a dumbass. It seems that idiotic news is more infuential then factual news.

Oh my god, you picked a good one, didn't you?

Just throw some random douglas adams quotes in there and you've got a winner.
