All the best to everyone & to him too who tried to make a joke of my country.

Now this is what I was thinking of, what if there is a person here from India, than that would be insulting. I personaly have a Indian friend who wants to enter this contest, because he still uses the old ddr memory. My sister still uses the old ddr memories too though. Good luck to everyone.

No matter where they are from, they are most welcomed to join the contest.

However, there are "some" people who are indirectly insulting their own countrymen by behaving badly in our contests. I wouldn't presume to know what empire23 truly meant but I believe it's directed specifically to those misbehaving participants.

" Some " people like to discriminate with people.They enjoy doing that.Let them be happy.I really don't care.I've also registered to other forums but never seen such behavior to the forum members mostly to noobs.They tend to forget that they also were noobs once.

Anyways,I've asked my relative (who have just joined in this forum) that, not to take part in the contests
coz " some " people have objections about another Indian is taking part in the contests. Though, I need the DDR memories very much(I'm still stuck with my Athlon XP), I'm hereby requesting to make me out of this contest as some people are not liking that I'm taking part in the contest.Please tell them to stop making fun of me & my country.By doing this,they are also indirectly insulting their countrymen.

he is not discriminating, he is just fooling around ;p
dont take it seriously. you gave them a bad impression. thats why all this things happen. all you need to do is keep quiet at let things fade. you have been too provoking that is why it keeps on going. since you are leaving i would say bye. but do come back one day and try to be more humble when you post. stop using capital letters (especially your nick) and pretend that you are a new person ;p. nobody likes noobs who act big in the forum when they are new ;p

Sorry, Zy.I can't take my country's disrespect lightly.My country is not a subject that he can fool around about it .Please say him to make fool about something else & yes I'm keeping quiet for long time coz I don't like to get any more minus reps.I've also requested to put me out of the contest.

BTW, I'm not a noob here.Have a look under my username & it's completely upto me that I'll use capital letters for my username or not.Now what's wrong with that ? U have objections even about my username !!! It's ridiculous.

Who told u that I'm leaving ? I'm only out of the contest(as per my wish).

You know, this was never about your country until you brought it up in one of the earlier discussions, and again you're bringing it up even though Adrian never said anything disrespectful about your country in the first place

CALLOFDUTY05, allow me to be the first to come out and say what others have been too polite to say: not a lot of people will miss you if you leave this forum. Before you go accusing me, this has nothing to do with where you're from, or how new you are to the forum, but it's an accumulation of all the little things you've done from the get-go. You're right, everyone starts off as a newbie, but why is it that others are able to be accepted and welcomed right from the beginning? Think about it...

Hey Hey, no insult to anybody's county, not even my intention in the first place.

It's just that India's outsourcing industry is pretty big mind you, the biggest in the world, which many firms even hiring people to click on adverts, and many other internet based ventures. It's just like how China is known is known for cheap knockoffs of the real thing, or Malaysia for it's absurd endevours to break obscure and useless records or the Americans for their "Have some democracy with this AGM-65 missile!"..... geez take it light heartedly. I Seriously would have done worse if i wanted to insult anybody lah (people from LYN can vouch for me on this), it isn't a big deal really, countries all have their stereotypes, including my own, our stupid politicians are bar none, we could probably replace them with Brando Beverage Coolers and nobody would know the difference. Such is the bane of every nation man, and heck the outsourcing stereotype isn't that bad is it?

This is getting pretty old COD05. You seem to have a knack of polluting contest threads with out of context remarks.

A lot of companies outsource to India. Its silly that you get offended by something that helps your economy. No need to be so EMO. Enough of it kthx. Stay on topic.

And don't you start reposting the posts I delete like you have in the past. I've kinda enjoyed today with out anyone upsetting me.
