Seems most people don't care and the ones that are vocal about it are nasty and against it. Am I wasting my time or what?

    Don't flatter yourself, douchebag. You aren't the only **** with a big mouth here.


    You know what's "grade-school-ish" though? Running your mouth and writing checks your butt can't cash just to be abrasive and "cool" while complaining about something you have the ability to not participate in.

    See, I started doing it because it was a way to start conversation and keep you **** from arguing with each other about BS constantly. To a certain extent, it's worked. The only ones that have started negative stuff in the posts so far are the ones who have a problem with me. So instead of taking their issue with me up with me directly so I can promptly ignore and/or mock/insult them personally, they decide to make life miserable for everyone around them.

    Half of the negative opinions about the QOTD that I have been approached with were damning not of me but of people like you who can't seem to get it through your thick skull that not everyone shares the same views as you on anything and everything.

    I like the ones that are interesting; the ones you seem to do just for the sake of doing it not so much. IE yesterday's "Why." But the ones that spark actual debate (or at least comedic responses) are good.

    I liked the "Why?" one. I wanted to see how creative people could be. I was disappointed that so many didn't get the idea. A few did though and I liked some of the responses in the thread.

    Interesting....since I don't believe I attacked you, called you names. You asked a question...if you don't want to hear the answer,don't ask. You read way to far into the comments to your threads and meet them all with abusive language. It appears the only one being an ****, is you. Sorry you feel that way dude, but your mommy, I am not.

    You weren't in any way negative or abrasive. For whatever reason, if you chose to take any position contrary to his, he feels the need to lash out. That is why I have chosen to ignore him... Funny that nobody was negative in his thread until he posted that diatribe of complete BS.

    You've had a thing for me for the past few months. You post messages that even my friends won't say to me to my face and you expect me to take it as a "joke". Then you call me numbnuts and insinuate that I'm over sensitive. Then you tell me that I'm the one being an ****.

    Internet: SERIOUS BUSINESS.



    Seriously John, nobody has it in for you. Really. You do have a penchant for reading too far into posts. You seem to pick apart everything in every post to see if there's anything you can possibly interpret as possibly being a personal attack, and then blow up about it with personal attacks far greater than what existed in the first place. Just lighten up, realize that it's the internet and that nobody is out to get you, and everyone will be happier.

    But on the flip side, i guess that's you, and you wouldn't be you otherwise. So carry on. I'll continue reading your posts again just like i continue reading Xcapri's posts, and for the same reasons.

    Exactly. Which is why i kindof wish i hadn't posted the remainder of that post in the end, because he shouldn't give a **** what i think about him personally anyways, so the post SHOULD be useless.


    John thinks i'm a worthless piece of **** and that every time i post in the Clubhouse he hopes that it's something about me being arrested for his enjoyment. I don't really care, and definitely not enough to freak out about it or attack anyone over it.

    Everyone here may think i'm a gigantic ****. That's fine. I have friends in real life. :D

    I know you put me on your ignore list but I also know that you are clicking "view post" every time I post something. I know this because you claim to take the high road but you can't let things slip by. How do I know? Because, like so many that have come here before you, you have to tell people that you are taking the high road. You can't just do it without any fanfare or discussion. You're a drama queen and an attention ****. You need the attention, good or bad. Why else would someone post so much about their personal life that really doesn't need to be discussed in public, in general, let alone on the Internet.

    I don't respond to people who have a contrary position in a negative manner unless they presented their contrary position in a negative manner. There is a difference between being a blunt and brutally honest jerk and just an **** who is a ignorant and insulting jerk just to be an ignorant and insulting jerk. Not many people on the Internet get that idea. Then you get tough-guy loudmouths who are hardcore behind the keyboard but timid, spineless wieners in reality.

    Why don't you be who you are instead of trying to play others off of each other to service your own agenda? You've been here for over a year already and still nobody knows who you really are beyond what smoke you tried to blow up somebody's rear. That and the fact that your wife has you by the short hairs and doesn't like your...how did you say it..."pursuit of auditory bliss".

    I said to a certain extent. But sometimes people are stubborn and can't just let things be. We apparently have to exercise our right to voice our opinion whether it'd be appropriate or not. We also have to do so in a manner that is nasty and rude but not quite enough to be so appallingly insulting that we raise the ire others not involved so we can avoid being ganged up on. Then when we get met with a negative response, we have to blame the people we just blasted and tell them they have the problem 'cause it couldn't possibly be me and my suck-**** attitude.

    Oh and you must be prepared to defend yourself against every accusation, statement and action you have ever had, good or bad, in the history of time AND be able to recall specific examples for citing as reference in the circular arguments that you get harassed with.

    It's the way the Internet works, didn't you know that?
