If you made an analogy, then it was used mockingly in several posts and threads (by the same guy I might add) so many times that it became a meme and a signature, would you be offended?
He mocked you in one thread. Then for levity he started talking about doughnuts in a different thread. If you go back and search that thread you will see myself and others trying to explain that to you. We have even tried to explain it here. We nor the doughnuts are mocking you.
Man, now we are arguing about doughnuts.
Fine have some cake. At least then you can say you were lied to.
The majority of the people who come to these boards are coming here hoping to find a place to discuss a game we enjoy with other people who enjoy the same game. We are growing increasingly frustrated by the fact that on the STO forums, instead of finding those kinds of discussions, all we ever find are doom threads and countless threads complaining about every. single. thing. Cryptic. does. Its extremely tiring. And rather than moderating all of these threads that are reducing our enjoyment of the game, Cryptic mostly just moderates our expressions of frustration.
If you come here to do something other than discuss a game you enjoy with others who enjoy the game, be it to make a scene, to get attention, to complain, to accuse Cryptic of something, etc. etc. don't expect us to treat you as anything other than what you are to us: a source of irritation and frustration.
Jus tout of curiousity did you tell all the people who were asking for these items the same thing

So him making a series of donut jokes on one thread and then continued making donut jokes on another thread is in no way related? So what your postulating is that if I had never made my donut analogy, this still would have happened?

He made the doughnut joke in a different thread on a different topic. See... different. Not same. If it had been the same topic then yes, I can see where you would think that. However it was a different topic. So yes, if you had never said anything about doughnuts he still probably would have brought up doughnuts. Look, go back and reread that part in the super thread. I am not the only one who has tried to point this out to you. I gsve you my word it wasn't about you and it isn't. There was only one thread about the doughnuts and you. Come on be reasonable.

Of course not! By now you've established that pretty much any noun offends you.

I didn't see a dozen seemingly endless threads with the same three people saying they were being wronged by Cryptic for not having these items in the C-Store, or I would have.
I did say basically the same thing to the people demanding that the Galaxy-X not be exclusive to RaF, yes.
Very simply, you made me laugh with a previous comment. I want you to show William how to accept a Threadnought Donut. Would you accept one if it were offered?

They were both about the Pre-Order Exclusives being added to the C-store, how is that a different topic?
I paid extra money for a product therefore it was sold to me. If I walk into dunkin donuts and I but A coffe for $1.00 I paid for it. If I paid for a special $1.30 that was Coffee AND a Donut. I was sold the donut as well. That is business, if you can't understand something hat simple, you are the one who needs to understand business.
Then nothin but a bunch of donut mentions by him, a talk of adding it to game now, and a mockery signature. I would have quoted the rest but too much of pain now that its been closed.

Did you got the cstore section there are alot of posts there too people aren't happy not saying all not saying majority but enough that I think Cryptic should at least say something I have staed that wahtever answer they give will be the end of it for meI will not pushh anymore once they giva an answer
Really other than insults against my state, mockery of my analogies, and Gollum, I don't have many others.
Well, in the case of your analogies, all of them were very silly and only served to undercut your points.
But the fact remains, the donut meme took on a life of its own almost immediately. It stopped being about you after the first post I made, and the fact that you are STILL taking it personally shows a significant lack of maturity and good humor on your part.
I will say it one last time. We are not mocking you with that. It's not about you. You are not the center of attention. You were not even participating in the thread half the time when we were talking about it.

You forgot:
bears
Winnebagos
the word "pathetic"
the words "unemployed" and "jobless"
any mention of previous mockery
burgers and/or french fries
the use of logic
any suggestion that you may not be as entitled as you think
historical precedent
making lists about things that are offensive
I give up... It is hopeless to try to assuage you that you aren't being wronged by doughnuts.
So at this point I suppose you are going to continue to feel mocked by a pastry. I recommend you not go to the bakery isle of your local store.
I can see you complaining to the manager that the doughnuts are mocking you.
It's not that he made a joke, I get that and I moved on, then he propagated it so much it became a frickin meme and a signature. I don't think all donuts are mocking me ,just the meme he propagated into existence. I suppose though that the quotes I showed were not proof enough. It must be frickin coincidence that he propagated a line of jokes on my analogy about a subject then moved to another thread on the same subject and started again. Its like saying that the "In The Flesh" episode is not related to "Scorpion" episode.

Why would I accept a gift that is a mockery of me?

Because it's not a mockery of you, and it would be showing grace, maturity, and a sense of humor.

Oh, I don't know, maybe in order to show that you are mature enough to handle some ribbing, and to show that by accepting it, you were above it?
Other than that, no reason.

We decided it was Bonus Gate in the other thread.
Would you care to help me with something, since you're still watching?
Doughnutgate?
like what? ( I have to go cook soon )
Very simply, you made me laugh with a previous comment. I want you to show William how to accept a Threadnought Donut. Would you accept one if it were offered?
awesome I will accept the Threadnought donut
Excellent, then I bestow upon you a unique and exclusive Threadnought donut. Please add it to your sig and show it off proudly.
thank you, how do you like it.
Fantastic! See William? That's how it is done.
They were both about the Pre-Order Exclusives being added to the C-store, how is that a different topic?
Follow along with me
Srry, technically he didn't originally started, he just propagated its usage.
THen on the other thread

You are most welcome. I'm glad you can accept it with good humor and not feel mocked.
We are all made greater by this.

That said, I retire from this debate thread as well.
