So even though you were told in your other recent blog that you know you shouldn't post multiple blogs close together, here's the third one.
Remember how you asked why you were banned from the forums?
I told you it was because you whined about it in public rather than settling it in private with the website's staff. I never got a response.
After you're banned from the c-blogs eventually as well, and whenever you head to your next website, and ask there "why was I banned from Dtoid?"
I'll go ahead and tell you now. It's because you don't listen.

Come on guys, at least be fair. I didn't actually publish (make live) this blog until about 5 hours after my last one. I just wrote it earlier and for some reason when you go to publish it, it places the blog back at a time when you originally wrote it.
If you actually READ my blogs before jumping all over my timing of them then you'd see that there are some valid thoughts in there- rather than THREE of you guys posting up to give me a verbal.

Why are you worried about the validity of a point?
Are your writing to win an argument?
Do what you do man. Its your Dtoid as much as anyone's. But you've got guys from the community telling you, from some experience with the site, what the cool etiquette is for the community.
If you don't want to gel with the way the community operates (When people have tipped you off on the etiquette), why do you want to post here?

In answer to your questions no and no. On the other hand you seem to be a little argumentative- or maybe I'm just misreading you. But don't you think that if one guy posted up to tick me off then that would be enough? And how much space should I put between blogs? Is 5 hours too short?
Bah. In retrospect, whatever. We have the fap system now. Spam posts dno't bury the good stuff as easily anymore.
But for your own sake, space out your stuff. If for nothign else, than to give people time to mull over your writings and to appreciate what you do.

general opinion is 1 or 2 a day, maybe 6 hours. From my perspective, if I see 3 of the same author's posts over about 6 articles on the blog roll, its a bit much.
Yeah, I'm kind of a jerk about people not joining the flow of the conversation, and retreateding tired concepts. Do you realize that someone posts a "What's the deal with the Wii?" article here at least once a week? If someone takes the time to either visit our forums or do a search for the topic, you'll see that its kind of a super-old topic. in my opinion at least.

Also, we don't organize these things. :) "Fail" comments happen, and they often come from the heart. Destructoid is generally not shy about saying, in some way "I don't like this". Sometimes its constructive (usually to start), sometimes its for lulz (Usually when it seems like the point should be clear). Such are passionate people, I guess.
Again...
We give you advice. You fight back and call Tubatic opinionated: if you knew him, you'd know he's the most fair and partial member here.
Now I can clearly see why you're chain-banned from forums

You're the kind of person who disregards other people. People are telling you that you're doing something wrong and your response is essentially, "Well if you paid ATTENTION you'd realize I'm not doing anything wrong."
Let's be honest. People say this when they think they know better than others. Does this, or does this not, sound like something an asshole would say? You keep on asking people if you are one, well seriously think about that.
When you have more than two articles spanning the ENTIRE front page you're hogging the spotlight. Just because you're posting in the lull period in the middle of the night when nobody's on, it doesn't change the fact that you have 3 articles right on the top of the page. Some people spend countless hours on their articles. The C-Blogs are a relatively slow moving area and that's how it should be, because if it moved fast nobody would have time to read much.
It's not fair that just because other people aren't pushing out articles every five hours that you think you should. If everyone acted like you all the really great and thought provoking articles would be pushed off the page to be replaced by quickie-articles. If you want to have a lot of quick-fire discussion, go to the forums.

Once you saw that the blog was thrown back down to near your other two blogs, you could have easily hidden it again, copied and pasted the text into a new blog, and reposted that new one instead of arguing with the people trying to tell you want the rules are -- The ones laid out by the people who run the site.

Why should I actually bother to do that? farting around closing opening and repasting blogs. You forget that although I am not new to the site I haven't really done that many blogs- and when I'm up and about (in the UK) you're in bed. I'm just laying some thoughts down.
I'm not arguing with anyone at all, but I do think you're trying to provoke me into some sort of reaction

Ok NOW I just think you're a troll.
See, what trolls do is purposely push people's buttons, then ask why they're the ones who are arguing
If I went into a movie theater and screamed "FIRE!", and then in the parking lot people asked me what I did it, would I ask them why they're getting so defensive about it? Of course not.

It's true that technically he's not arguing. He's ignoring peoples' points. And actually, yes, we are trying to provoke some kind of reaction. That reaction is listening to what we are saying.
For sake of argument, let's say you AREN'T a troll (although that's debatable).
What am I supposed to take away from this "article", that you like sports games and wonder if I think you're an asshole for it?
First, tt doesn't matter what anyone thinks of your gaming habits. Second, this is article is sloppy and borderline incoherent with grammatical and spelling errors all over the place (ie "for the Does this make me a complete arsehole"). If you want people to read your thoughts at least take the time to revise them.
Maybe the 5 hours you spent posting 3 blogs could have been better used tightening up this one blog, and people wouldn't be ripping into you as much.
