# I don't 'love to be negative'
I just don't care to have my screen all messed up when I try and scroll past.
I just reformatted last night and haven't installed my graphics card drivers yet, I was up until 4 trying to get everything else sorted, and now I'm having a bunch of internet fatties have a go at me for not wanting my screen to burst into fucking flame.

I apologise for being 'a touch cranky' as it were.
Bunch of fucking hypocrites.
Can you honestly tell me you've never been rude to someone on this board?

'There is somebody really annoying on the board, is it OK to be rude to them?

Absolutely not. If you are really annoyed by another boarder, you can click the 'Ignore' button under their posts and everything they post will be hidden from you (you can always un-ignore them later if you like). Please don't be horrible to other people just because they are new, or you didn't like their picture, or posted something that bothers you. If you can't say anything nice, then don't say anything.

you wanna quote it, abide by it.'

Jesus H Christ.
I'm going out now, to see real people.
Good luck with keeping the internet hate-free.

# I'm not disputing the filesize,
it was the two giant images taking up the screen, it was making it go all funny.
And the fact that it's written in the faq means there's not really an excuse to not know about image dimensions.

# Do fuck off.
I've tried ubuntu and I think it's fucking shit, so don't give me that.
Personal preference and all that.

i even put a "yeah, you got me to bite..." to make it clear it was a joke.

i'm bloody famous for paying out windows at every chance, it's called a sense of humour.

# ok, I believe you
but, the faq dimensions are not adhered to, "the 50ft post", for example. The rules must apply to all, or not at all.

# If your screen is likely to "burst into fucking flame" when viewing a couple of 75k Jpegs
that have been stretched to 1600px, then maybe you shouldn't browse message boards where people post lots of images, at least until you've got some kind of flame-retardant coating for your monitor.

That's why.

That's why your monitor is predisposed to some bizarre spontaneous fornicating combustion?

Eat some chocolate or something. And may I suggest you have the foresight to avoid b3ta on a Tuesday morning if you're not prepared to cut people a bit of slack?
