Hello people of the forum. I have just recenctly joined the forum and am introducing myself. I am stuck in rural America deep in the South Western portion of Oklahoma. My internet connection sucks, for now, but I'll get over it. I've played the two dialo games and played D II for large amounts of hours. I was sucked into WoW by a D II friend of mine and have been there on and off since. I have taken some new friends of mine into WoW and have had to inform them that I will vanish from radar as soon as D III gets released.

If a moderator asks you to change your signature, don't question just do it.
Call it a habit if you like but where I grew up you usually greet the person before talking to them. And it can also save on any confusion on a forum as well
Hallo Abimael, welcome to this site, nice avatar and sig combo
@ttandc
I can see how all that g'day stuff can be annoying, but i do see your point of showing which person in the thread your talking to. personally im more partial to use ' @ ' as it is universally accepted.

-Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's First Law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth.

Where I grew up my family was the only one with a computer and that computer had no internet. Real life in the flesh and internet are not to be confused with. The bolded "G'day" just kinda looks strange and takes up space... I like "@" or "To" better... when you have all those bulky bolded sentences your message becomes a lot bigger even when you hardly said anything....
I apologise if I am offending people I didn't realise that the australian language could be. I admit I may not be as knowledgable in internet ettiquette as some but most of the forums I have visited start their replies with a greeting.

I may not have interpreted what you said correctly but it seems as though your making out the internet and the rest of the world around you to be two seperate places. Is that right? If so do you act differently on the internet than what you would with a face to face conversation? Sounds like a lot of work. I'm sorry I just can't do that. I reply to a person just like I would if they were standing right next to me. If I didn't then I would feel like I was telling lies to the people I reply to.
And when you refer to all those bulky bolded sentences, your referring to the greetings, right? Wouldn't using a quote take up even more space most of the time? If using @ or to is what you have grown with then that's great but I don't feel as though others should have to conform to that. I believe the internet should imbrace all cultures into it's dialog not just a one or two. I may speak english but it is the Australian version of english. Not American and not British. I don't see one as better than the other just parts of a greater whole.
If the way I speak is offensive to the people here on the forum then I apologise for that offense as it was not intentional and will sadly say farewell. I will not change the way I am and the way I speak for anyone, just because I'm on the internet. And I do not wish to continue to offend the good people here at Diablo3.com. So the only option I would have left is to leave.
Who cares. Whats the fucking difference between doing @ or gday in bold? At least he says who hes talking to...i can remember countless threads where an argument started because someone wasnt clear about who they were talking to. At leats he makes the effort to be polite and show manners and respect. Fuck, whoever seriously cares about his use of greetings can go and (as carlos would say) play in traffic.

For a flegmatic like me, excessive reading. It's more of a subconcious thing than anything else.

I do not "purposefully" act here differently from how I act in real life, I simply have no choice. There is no way you can be the same here as IRL because there is no visual perspective, there is no motional perspective, and no verbal perspective. You do agree that reading a book and watching a movie is different? Same here.
Also, I do not say Hi to anyone anywhere if I just said hi to them. I don't say hi every time I address a person. I may say their name if some time passed, but I don't greet them every message. And that is what you are doing. You already said G'Day to me, I already met you, why do you continue saying G'Day?
Nationality has nothing to do with it, I'm Ukrainian myself. But bulky posts, yes. The G'Day part makes a post 2 lines longer, and it is bolded. Bolding is only used for special circumstances and since almost every post addresses someone it's not a special circumstances. In other words, your post is gettins show off, too visible, too big, too special, you see where I am going here?
I certainly don't consider it "offensive", that's seriously over the hedge. I just like to explain why a person like me in particular may not like something like that.

such as in the following example
Oh, and we have the quote button, btw.
Thanks, and I'm glad you like the avatar and the signature.
To the rest, thanks for the welcome.
