No, that's NOT what you did. It may be what you think you did, but it's not what you did at all.
You've made your position quite clear. Your "wishes for luck" were wrapped in the bacon of snarkiness and stabbed with the toothpick of condescension. You've pontificated from on high and painted all of us who are trying to determine the best response as some kind of shaggy barbarians who lack the culture you so royally display. Yes, a mean look at someone in Wal Mart is clearly the most effective strategy to combat things. Just leave them with the royal hand wave as you mount your coach and pull elegantly away. Pffft. Does nothing to address the underlying problems.
Of all your moments on this board, this is your worst.
Continue to attack me and fire away at Prowler. The minute you realized you weren't going to win the day and get the rest of the board to fall in line behind you, that's been your entire effort. Fuck the message, attack those who present it. As you said, we can take it.
Nobody's lost any sense of anything.
Can't speak for anybody else, but I've heard all I need to hear from you on this subject.
Child, please? Original title. I have a better one, but will be the bigger man.
Child, please.
I never tried to "win the day" - unlike you, this is NOT some sort of competition for me. I don't need the approbation of the masses to make me feel like a big man. I called you and Prowler out for looking more like updykes than Auburn people in the things that you posted. That bothered me and I called you out. So what? MY OPINION.
If I am a snob because I prefer to cut an asshole off with a cold look rather than actually lower myself engage them in a detailed conversation about how they are nothing but an inbred updyke motherfucker, then yeah, I guess I am a snob. I was raised better than to respond in kind to stupid meaningless attacks by strangers in public.
If y'all are being honest, the reality of it is that in situations like that, we all reflect later on what we WISH we had said, or WISH we had done, but unless you practice your witty comebacks in front of a mirror each day before you venture outside, it never turns out like we hope. You cannot control what "they" say or do, but you can control them being able to chuckle through their toothless mouths for the rest of the day about how they got to that barner this morning...
I deal all day every day with business decisions. I give the ops guys a risk analysis of a project contract and let them them make a business decision as to whether or not they want to assume that risk. My job is to offer my opinion as to that decision, but the ultimate choice is theirs. No skin off my nose, as they are the ones that answer to the Board of Directors if things go south. So I am used to my opinion being brushed aside or overlooked. I genuinely don't care as long as I have done my job by stating my opinion.
So don't try to tell me what my intent was and was not. You are not omnipotent. I hope you get your Anti-Machine Club up and running and hit them where you think it will hurt. You and so many others on here seem to think it is both necessary and critical to the survival of Auburn University and the Orange and Blue way of life. And if that is how you and others want to spend your time and efforts, THEN FINE. WITH EVERY OUNCE OF SINCERITY I POSSESS, GOOD LUCK. BEST WISHES!! MAZEL TOV!!! KICK SOME ASS! SERIOUSLY! NO KIDDING! GOOD LUCK!
Like WE!! said elsewhere - you should expend more of your efforts trying to rally those who are already convinced of the righteousness of your cause, rather than making personal attacks on those of us who have simply stated that we disagree with you.
And yeah, Prowler, I do think you are a message board Neanderthal. If you are different in real life than on this board, well, maybe that opinion will change if I ever meet you, but until then? All I have to go on are the posts you make and the stories you tell about yourself. So yeah - good luck with that fire thing.
