I didn't mean it totaly literaly.
You have to be so careful what you say on here, someone always finds something wrong.. It was an expression of speach. And my response here is a perfect example, you may not of been responding to point out that I have used the word "everyone" way out of context. Your response may have just of been to say you are one of the lucky ones, and completely understand that due to the quantity of people who have broken megatron in someway or other, that I used the word "everyone" not in a factual way but in a more expressive way as to highlight what a wide spread problem it is.
[So far you haven't broken him, lol, it just hasn't happened yet!]
My point is that when you write something it is hard to convey a tone of voice, and it is hard to reply straight away to explain what you meant, we all make mistakes and we all have trouble conveying what we mean, either due to other peoples interpretation or due to our own method at that moment we are writing our post, I'm sure we have all at some point wrote a post, and then later on been away from our computers and thought I wish I'd explained it in a different way. On our return some one has been lieing in wait just to pounce on our mistakes, and at the same time we look at that response and it may be purely innocent but we also make the mistake of interpreting it as an attack correcting us when it may be just a mistake of interpreting what they have said.
Now after some thought I beleive I probaly jumped the gun, but due to so many people ho have jumped the gun on my responses before you can't blame me. Some people get there kicks by trwaling threads looking for a post they can tear to shreads. I'm all for debating, but in future I think people should reconfirm what someone is saying if you deeply disagree with them. I clearly wrote "EVERYONE" although I didn't literaly mean that, I thought that would of been obvious. kirbenvost reply is just as ambiguos as mine. But it just goes to show that what may appear black and white maybe grey, and the internet is a global phenomenom, so even though everything here is written in English, we all use it in different ways. But even thoughs who are in the same enviroment can get it wrong, you only have to text a girl, and have it misunderstood to see how dangerous wording can be without tonal expression. I think texting and being forced to limit our words in a message has played a major role, as I spell in a breviations when I don't have too. I'm the first to admit I'm lazy when it comes to spell checking, and I have been judged for it.
All I'm saying is there are alot of worth while debates to be had, but lets make sure that we all know what we are debating over, I beleive there are to many people on here who use forums to vent there anger on people, maybe they are being bullied themselves in real life, so I'm not gonna start having a pop on them, after all we are all here because we love the same thing right! lets not ruin it.
Ah well, cool for those who don't have them yet.
Well, I haven't transformed my Megatron in a long time, but I always try to be very careful as well. As for the 'rust', it's more like tarnish as it's easily removeable, but it's still annoying that it happens at all. I still think he's worth owning.
