You know I think you're great. But you couldn't be more wrong about me.
Thanks for the rant.
Game over.
There have been enough meetings, golf and other things that I'm secure that people know that I'm not like this in the real world. This is a fucking message board!!!!! (as again, evidenced that I'm cognizant enough to keep it in one place) I KNOW people get tired of this shit... However, I'm NOT going to just be walked over...sorry...
To both of you -
When the only "personas" I know are the ones I read daily on this board, I think I am more than justified in being critical of you based on those personas. If you don't like the fact that you are being ridiculed based solely on the impressions you give others that read this board, then maybe it's time to consider a change of tone. I am supposed to be quiet and tolerate the constant bullshit because "Oh, you guys are really sweet little mushballs in person"? I don't think so. I don't care what you are like in person - I am pissed off by the way you are acting HERE, where others have to deal with you HERE. As the story goes, Hitler liked dogs - does that make up for the rest? Even if I did know you both, and think you were all sunshine and light in person, why should me knowing you are allegedly not a dickhead in real life justify you being a raging asshole here??
Yeah, Chop – it’s a fucking message board. If you want to use it as a means to let your inner asshole lose, be my guest, but understand that if you have the right to be an asshole, I reserve the right to tell you that you are acting like one. Doesn’t mean you even have to acknowlege my opinion (tho I figure you probably will) but I can still point it out.
I am who I am – here, in real life, wherever – which makes it a lot easier to keep things straight. I guess I just have a hard time understanding why it is so important for someone to be able to reinvent themselves on a message board. Just for the sake of argument tho, if I did feel the need to play a role on a message board, I think I would try and be someone that people liked, someone that wasn’t arrogant or argumentative or self-centered, at least not any more than I already am. The last thing I would do would be to openly admit “Yeah, I am acting like a dick, but if you knew me in real life, you wouldn’t think I was one.” Wow – what a cool dude you are! I really want to party with you, guy.
