    Stop perpetuating your condescension.
    You should probably lookup condescension since I'm not sure you know what it means. NOW I'm being condescending.

    You made a statement saying something which was untrue, and it's an untruth which is often tossed around.So I made the big shouty words about that fact. If you feel that was somehow directed at you then that probably says more about your ego than mine.

    Also it's macho and I don't think winning internet arguments makes anyone macho.

    To be fair MOnk - I might have taken offence at it as well - especially since Isengard had already explained it in a much more polite manner. And Shrike had already taken the points to heart. Anyways - no point in arguing the fact - this isn't the place for it.

    Back on topic - I'll be giving this particular test a miss as well, even if I don't want to - got to drive through to Durbs early tomorrow morning, so I'll be needing my sleep. If anyone does take part, feed us

    Actually Isen said this;
    While that's true...
    So he also believed it to be true even though everything he said after those words went on to show the opposite.

    Anyway whatever, it's just a pet peeve ok, let me have my vices!

    The rest of your post was very informative, interesting reading.
    Sadly also a little depressing, so I must confess, I lashed back a little hard ;-(

    Thanks for providing the good info!

    Tried out a sylvari warrior for a half hour this morning. I am very impressed with the sheer level of detail on the basic unarmoured models. Arenanet have done a lot of very hard work in optimizing polygon count to get that kind of detail.

    The combat animations are also telling in their complexity.

    I have to stop myself from playing more, I....must....not.....spoil.....the....shiny!

    Mucho
    Mucho is Spanish for much. (adverb)
    An example of mucho is when something costs a lot.
    Versus

    Macho
    adjective
    1. having or characterized by qualities considered manly, especially when manifested in an assertive, self-conscious, or dominating way.
    2. having a strong or exaggerated sense of power or the right to dominate.
    So unless he was trying to tell me I cost a lot, I think he meant macho.

    I was actually going for "if it makes you feel mucho leet" translating to: "if it makes you feel lots leet", to be more grammatically correct: "if it makes you feel very superior".

    Anyways, bygones.

    I did, I also know how to use the word withing the Spanish context, like Shrike did. It really isn't difficult, and I was just pointing out that you were looking for insults where there were none.
