I think it’s rather bold for you to think my future reply is anyhow ‘half-assed’, and it doesn’t bother me whatsoever if you choose not to respond to it. 
Let me get started
I think that if I were seeking attention I’d be doing what I do most on this site a lot more frequently, that being, long talks about a topic I want to discuss, albeit a person’s behaviour or a topic to do with Arcane Odyssey.
Here’s some examples out of my topics just for you to take a gander at.
Myself & Vetex's Rant
64arc's Takes on Just About Everything
Rather infrequent, don’t you think? Conduct such research next time you want to look through my mannerisms on the site.
Exactly as you said at the end of your own post regarding whether I give a ‘half-assed’ reply, @Mr_hyperspace is free to ignore my take on his joke, hell, I’m pretty sure he has the availability to hide my posts, which I am going to endeavour in doing so after I continue this ‘half-assed’ reply.
I don’t know if your context is just from this topic, but I’m not taking @Mr_hyperspace’s comments as jokes not because of their content but because of their frequency, if you’re going to take the piss out of someone on two threads within short notice and say ‘oh im joking 64arc don’t take it badly!!!’ you better expect a response from me in a similar manner.
I can’t comment on how involved you are in the clan community, but, I’d still love to help you understand the small inaccuracies you made in this comment to broaden your knowledge.
How someone acts and how someone is perceived is going to be due to their environment, no? I’m well aware that the forums isn’t as welcoming of ‘toxic pvpers’ or clans who will ‘rk for infamy’, it’s stemmed from that this is a more PvE-focused environment, and there’s definitely some sort of rift between I and a lot of the regulars on this site because of it. People here may perceive me as the final boss of Arcane Odyssey toxicity, just due to debates I get myself in due to various topics, whilst in the areas of the community I engage with more, not only am I more familiar with them, they’re more like me, meaning it’s much simpler to go about my day without being berated by people who want a piece in harassing someone who they think has a huge ego.
As discussed in my last point, the forums is nowhere near the same as the environment I host within Neptune, hence I don’t recruit on the forums whatsoever, if I see a clan-related post, whether it’s asking for advice or sharing experiences, or even a clan related suggestion, yes, I will talk about Neptune. I know I’m one of the fortunate few to have gotten their own to the heights of leaderboard briefly, and that does mean part of my presence on the site is to give any advice or put my input on things clan-related.
Do some more looking on my own character, and maybe even my own conversations with Hyperspace in different threads, and begin to discuss those instead of a baseless defence where you cover your insults with a capital letter and a full stop.
