<spyroboy> MSN should limit "nicknames" to 255 characters.
<spyroboy> er..
<spyroboy> 25*
<qwwqe> why people have so much to say
<spyroboy> a nickname is a nickname
<spyroboy> not lyrics or a life story.
<spyroboy> those are things to be discussed.
<Joshwaa_> spyroboy, in irc when you say something
<Joshwaa_> everyone in the channel sees it
<Joshwaa_> in msn they dont
<Joshwaa_> so if you have a conversation piece
<Joshwaa_> like song lyrics
<Joshwaa_> or a life story
<Joshwaa_> youre not gonna wanna repeat it 30 times
<Joshwaa_> or 300
<Joshwaa_> to all your contacts
<Joshwaa_> so you put it in your name
<spyroboy> I still find MSN inferior.
<Joshwaa_> so everyone can see it
<Joshwaa_> how is that relevant?
<spyroboy> and a very anti-social method of communication.
...
<spyroboy> well, your case scenario, they don't. the majority of my young adult family used irc. my cousins married to women whom they met on irc. their friends used to use irc.
<stevo32> qwwqe, channel based vs. individual conversations
<stevo32> (not that i agree with him)
<spyroboy> qwwqe, msn is strictly a 1v1. the group chats are fake since they're absolutely invite only.
<qwwqe> stevo32: you're still socializing
<spyroboy> qwwqe, low scale
<qwwqe> 'social' doesn't mean 'talk to as many people as you can'
<spyroboy> not what I said
<qwwqe> that's what you implied
<spyroboy> no I didn't.
<qwwqe> <spyroboy> qwwqe, msn is strictly a 1v1. the group chats are fake since they're absolutely invite only.
<qwwqe> that was your response to my question
<Joshwaa_> yeah it is
<spyroboy> how did I imply that?
<stevo32> ok but the way most conversations go back and forth on msn, you don't get a serious /group/ discussion going, evar, with MSN
<Joshwaa_> by saying antisocial
<Joshwaa_> and saying the reason its antisocial
<Joshwaa_> is that its only 1to1
<qwwqe> spyroboy: you implied it by giving me that answer when i asked how it's anti-social
<qwwqe> spyroboy: so you didn't evne imply it
<qwwqe> spyroboy: you explicitly stated it
<Joshwaa_> being 1to 1 doesnt make it antisocial
<spyroboy> I believe what I want. I've seen what I've seen. I've had my share. I say it's antisocial. You don't. I originally wasn't going to debate it and I'm not going to now.
<qwwqe> the openoffice autocomplete is the most annoying thing
<qwwqe> it keeps filling in the plural forms of nouns
<stevo32> qwwqe, i hate openoffice autocomplete so much too, first thing i disable
<stevo32> i don't get why after 892347982 years it's still enabled by default
<stevo32> i mean how many people even like it, nevermind tolerate it?
<spyroboy> Don't like it, I'll leave the channel. I have my right to voice my opinion and I much rather talk elsewhere if I can't voice what I think.
<qwwqe> spyroboy: we're not bringing your rights into it
<spyroboy> I'm going to eat.
<qwwqe> spyroboy: you have as much right as we do to voice our opinions
<Joshwaa_> spyroboy, he asked how its antisocial
<Joshwaa_> hes not telling you youre wrong
<Joshwaa_> hes asking why you think that
<spyroboy> He's debating it.
<spyroboy> I'm not.
<Joshwaa_> >_>
<spyroboy> End of story.
<Joshwaa_> he wants to know why you think that
<stevo32> >_> indeed.
<Joshwaa_> why wont you tell him?
<qwwqe> spyroboy: if you don't want to elaborate don't elaborate
<Joshwaa_> noones stopping you from voicing what you think
<qwwqe> spyroboy: we're not trying to corner you
