: Actually, I would wager a guess that anyone who has been here longer than you have has at least a faint dislike for you. Your pompous behavior being the key ingredient.
I would hope it's the ONLY ingredient. I don't ask stupid questions left and right...in fact, I barely even begin threads...every time I post here, it's a reply to something else. If you don't like me, great, I'm not going to do back-flips to gain your favor.
On a side note, Lynch is more abrasive and caustic than I've ever been, and you'd think he'd be somewhat of a villain on this board. He seems to be a favorite though, in my book as well.
:And while other posters who've argued with you may come off as just as pompous, they tend to have some tempering agents on their side, such as experience and an ability to discuss things rationally.
Not all of them. Many times, the regulars here join the fray without provocation. I'll say something that has nothing to do with them, and doesn't insult them in any way, and then they'll say shit back to me. And that's where it starts, because I won't take that, not even from board regulars. Why should I just bend over and let them sodomize me...I have to defend myself, you know. That's where the dislike probably comes in. The seemingly lack of respect I have for board vets.
:But with the cheers of those who have been here for an ever shorter time egging you on, you've seen to have taken to the notion that you are a big shot around here.
Well, I have acquired an unwanted following, and that wasn't my intention in the least. I'm not out to prove anything to anyone. I have a life and friends outside this board, I'm not looking for all that here. I don't think I'm a big shot, I just thanked them, because it's the good thing to do. Insulting an ignoramus
on a WWW board doesn't warrant conceit, in my book. And when I do demand respect, it isn't serious. Lynch will always rule the sarcasm, insults, and hilarity on this board. Smalls will always be the cop that shares different views than a lot of you(although I feel the same way as him on a few topics), and I'll always seem like a "newbie" trying to be the next Lynch. Well, I'm not. This is me, the way I've always been. Say what you will, but I'm not even like Lynch. Read some of my posts...I'm not trying to take a throne around here.
:Well, you're no bigger than anyone else, as johnboy pointed out with less vitriol.
And why would board veterans be any more important or higher on the food chain than a "newbie" like me? Because they discovered this board before I did? I've known of View Askew since Clerks, same as them.
And about johnboy, well, he likes wrestling, so I really don't even have to extend my troubles by saying something further...
