i suppose 'intentionally' does defeat me. But i had already given up before. I don't want to talk about it anymore, and i'm sure neither do you.

Who cares about rules. Live your life how you want to live it. And if that means you turn out to be enough of an asshole to get banned, So be it!

an·noy (ə-noi')
tr.v. an·noyed , an·noy·ing , an·noys

  1. To cause slight irritation to (another) by troublesome, often repeated acts.
  2. To harass or disturb by repeated attacks.

[Middle English anoien , from Old French anoier, ennuyer , from Vulgar Latin *inodiāre , to make odious , from Latin in odio , odious : in , in ; see in- 2 + odiō , ablative of odium , hatred ; see od- in Indo-European roots.]

Synonyms : These verbs mean to disturb or trouble a person, evoking moderate anger. Annoy refers to mild disturbance caused by an act that tries one's patience: The sound of the printer annoyed me.
Irritate is somewhat stronger: I was irritated by their constant interruptions.
Bother implies imposition: In the end, his complaining just bothered the supervisor.
Irk connotes a wearisome quality: The city council's inactivity irked the community.
Vex applies to an act capable of arousing anger or perplexity: Hecklers in the crowd vexed the speaker.
Provoke implies strong and often deliberate incitement to anger: His behavior provoked me to reprimand the whole team.
Aggravate is a less formal equivalent: "Threats only served to aggravate people in such cases" (William Makepeace Thackeray).
Peeve, also somewhat informal, suggests a querulous, resentful response to a mild disturbance: Your flippant answers peeved me.
To rile is to upset and to stir up: It riled me to have to listen to such lies.

Okay?

Good job Tuff!

"To harass or disturb by repeated attacks"

I think that was exactly what we were going for.

If we are going to play semantic games, then let us know the meaning of words.

I am not being sarcastic at all. Some people don't know the meaning of certain words. I'm being helpful.

Do not harass or intentionally annoy the ALEX or insult the website or website staff. If you do not like the ALEX or the rules, feel free to leave.
