Quote: Hey, DeeBye,

Just out of curiosity, why did you feel compelled to repeatedly drag this thread off-topic?

Hiya Dako-ta!

I wasn't aware that I was singlehandedly dragging this thread off-topic. The great thing about forum threads is that many branches of discussion can occur at the same time. The initial thread topic is still there. All one has to do is post about it.

Quote:Is there some reason you don't think discussing RSI's (Repetitive Stress Injuries) is appropriate on this forum?

All I did was make a few jokes about getting old. I'll admit that it wasn't exactly on-topic, but since when has humour (even my own brand of lengthy unfunny humour) ever been taboo here?

Quote:For that matter, how come no one other than Munkay gave a serious reply?

I'm going to echo what Pete said. I don't have any problem whatsoever with RSI as a result of gaming, so any serious reply would have been a non-answer. Instead, I tried to lighten the mood and perhaps entertain a few people with something I made up about stereotypical old people problems. I didn't realise that so many people would take offense to it. I guess I misjudged the audience here.

Quote:However, if no one here gives a #$%&, why should I bother?

I, for one, give a #$%&. Just because I am not currently afflicted with RSI doesn't mean I am not interested in what other people have to say on the subject. I also have the ability to joke about getting old on one hand and be concerned about it on the other. I am starting to slowly go bald, but I make a lot of bald jokes to my older brother because he is a cue ball. I'm not exactly enamoured with the idea of going bald, but that doesn't mean I can't have a little fun with the whole idea of baldness.

Oh hey, look at how much further (farther? I forget) I am derailing this thread!

In summary, I apologise if I inadvertently offended you with my posts. I've always respected you.
