I'm sorry Admin, I just like treating people like assholes because I am completely insecure of my own sexuality.

Here's another one of my treasured observations...because I know you all care deeply what I think.

Your performance reviews, wherever you work, must be riddled with comments like, "uncooperative, cannot take constructive criticism or praise or feedback in general," and "resents any commentary on performance."

When someone makes a judgment about one of your posts, good or bad, you push back. You can capitalize on someone else's opinion, or detract from it, but God forbid (I forbid) someone makes a judgment on the value of your post...They'll be burning brightly in the seventh circle of hell.

You must enjoy pushing buttons. So do I, but in a different capacity. I like heated emotional arguments, it's a quirk. You like to argue issues, but HOW DARE anyone praise you for a nice post or provide any opinion of your post because it is not relevant to the issue you're addressing. You point the finger at others for taking your comments too seriously, but in reality, you can't let anyone's opinion of yours slide... YOU NEED TO LIGHTEN UP.

Whether it's a kick in the ass or pat on the back, you should disregard it if it makes you "squirm." Just read right over those posts...

Like that? Now I'm using your verbiage on you...I learn from the best.

You really make me laugh sometimes. The only reason I made that particular comment to admin is because he has a habit of often telling me when I make an intelligent,rational, and worthwhile post. I would tell you how arrogant that comes off, coming from him and knowing our posting history, but you would have a difficult time understanding that because your head is almost completely up admin's ass. I've seen some other complementary comments about some of my posts from others and I don't push back on those. Maybe I'm the only one who can see admin's subtle arrogance and slightly excessive fondness he has toward his intellect. But what the hell do I know?

I keep hearing how I'm not capable of any criticism, but in real life that if far from accurate. My performance reviews actually look quite different than you envision. But I guess you just have to take my word for that...which you probably won't.

Your undying love for admin seems to be clouding your judgment. You seem to come to his aid every chance you get lately. Let me ask you a question, Fucking Christ. Admin really had minimal issues with me giving sarcasm to other posters for quite a while, especially the ones that opposed him and supported erac. But once I started giving him some sarcasm, he became hurt, offended, taken aback, etc... Why is that? I agree with a lot of what he has to say, but he just comes across sometimes, to me at least, as a guy who thinks just a little too highly of himself. Sure you can say that is the case for me. But, you would simply be wrong. I love when you tell me to not take things seriously because I actually don't. I'm sure you disagree, and that's totally cool.

Truth be told, I would like to cup Admin's balls and place them on my chin. Admin, please give me a mushroom tattoo.

Because of your history and responses, I haven't replied to your posts or commented on them for the past month or two because I was just too pissed off and I didn't want to encourage you. But you seemed to be making particularly useful posts the past couple of days and I wanted to bury the hatchet a bit and since one of my roles here is to encourage useful, informative posts, I gave you succinct simple praise for a post well done. I made it as simple and clear and without baggage as possible.

And then you slammed me for it and now you're claiming that when I make a positive comment to you I'm somehow actually being arrogant and having a fondness for my intellect? Can you at least consider the possibility that I just want to run a quality discussion board?

Why do you keep doing this? You tend to make sharp declarative statments and then finish off with "But what the hell do I know" or "You shouldn't take everything so seriously, including me" or some similar phrasing that basically retracts or nullifies everything you've just said. It's almost as if you want your stinging insults to hurt but then you want to pull them back and say "Just kidding!". Look how many of your postings have these final-sentence retractions.

This feels very passive-aggressive to me. You want to hurt people but then you also want avoid responsibility for it. If you're going to intentionally be an asshole and insult people here, then just do it, and not try to weasel out of responsibility for it at the last second.

There you go again: A strong statement followed by "I'm sure you disagree, and that's totally cool."

JFC,B is a solid contributor here and yet you insult her several times here. You're not making any friends here. You're like the disgruntled, pissed off, uncooperative, sullen, morose 14-year-old who won't come out of his room.

What's wrong with you, realitycheck? This isn't just a bad mood; you've been an asshole for a solid year.

Why do you say things like this? Did someone drop you on your head?

That's because no girlfriend would put up with someone as passive-agressive as you are.

You probably tell her she's fat and then immediately say "You shouldn't take me so seriously!".

Followed by "You're ugly" and then "But what do I know?".

Insecure of your sexuality seems about right. No one will get near you.

<bangs head against table>

<bangs head against table one more time for good measure>

First off, the fact that you've been pissed off for a month is fuckin' stupid. It never pissed you off when I was an asshole to other posters that were complete jerks. It never pissed you off when I was an asshole to the mindless green bleeders that challenged you at every turn. You seem to have become pissed off right around the time when I started aiming some of my sarcastic comments in your direction. What a coincidence.

Bury the hatchet? Christ, man. For the love of all living creatures, big and small, lighten the fuck up. As knowlegeable as you are about internet technology, you really don't grasp the concept of online tone. Re-read some of your shit. You come across condescendenly whether you think you do or not. I know how I come across. But, you seem clueless sometimes as to how you come across. You preach how you encourage informative posts, yet you post a ton of shit that doesn't contribute to anything. But when myself or many others do it, you feel the need to give us one of your patented lectures on how that's not instrumental to the progression of the board.

The reason you get so many damn unique IP addresses flooding your board is because this site is truly unique, in that you let so much shit fly. That is genuinely cool. It makes the board fun. Sure it may turn away some of those overly astutue types that want to tediously discuss the positives and negatives of damage waiver and supplemental liability insurance. But you secure so many more posters that want to be entertained while having a discussion. The fact that you think I impede that is funny. I really only do reply to a few people. Hardly a difference maker on the board. Why DOES it bother you so much when I challenge you? I like your board. I agree with much of what you say. I totally support what you're doing, taking on erac. But sometimes, you annoy me and I just let you know about it. You do the same thing, if ya haven't noticed. Coincidentally, this solid year that you claimed I've been an "asshole" you've annoyed me with some of your posts.

I truly believe that people take things way too seriously. I see it every day. People getting pissed off because of really stupid shit. People genuinely treating others poorly (in real life, not on some anonymous discussion board) for no reason whatsoever. I saw this occur so often during my run at erac. I'm not being passive aggressive (Did you get a dual Master's in Psychology). I just don't get why the things said by some person that you don't even know, that you'll never meet, sting so bad.

As for Fucking Christ... I like her wit and passion. I really think it's cool. I'm not trying to insult her. She gives me sarcasm. I give her some. Could you not make an argument that she's tried to insult me? Of course you can, but you won't. Because she tends to agree with what you say and you like that. I don't feel insulted by the things she says, so she really shouldn't feel that I'm trying to insult her. She is giving me a dose of my own medicine, and I'm giving it right back. Not that complicated. (Fucking Christ, if you really do feel insulted, like admin claims, please don't. That is really not my intention).

Admin, I really do think you're a good person. I can tell by many of the things you say. Some of your posts are annoying to me, that's all. Why is it ok when you give yourself the green light to say what you want and how you want it to any poster that disagrees with you, but you throw a hissy when I do it to you?

I do hope you realize that wasn't me. It's someone that is trying to mes around with me. And I think it is actually pretty funny.

great, that makes me happy...I'll be here all week.

I would tell you how arrogant that comes off, coming from him and knowing our posting history, but you would have a difficult time understanding that because your head is almost completely up admin's ass.

I'm working on getting my shoulders in the birthing position.

I like reading Admin's stuff. The only reason I feel the need to post about your comments to him is because I love to argue and I know you'll defend your reasoning. I used to pick on Admin to argue, but he stopped responding to my posts for a while (must've figured out I was looking for an argument) so I needed another victim. (welcome home)

I'm manipulating you to post longer things that I can pick apart like this for fun. My rationalization: I have to be nice to people all damn day, then I can come home and nit-pick your posts and push for your rationalizations. You handle it well and I know for a fact that I'm not going to hurt your feelings or make you cry so it doesn't make me feel guilty. I can't say that for everyone on the board, I would feel guilty going after most of the posters in this fashion. Your an asshole most of the time, or at least aspire to be, so it's a painless way for me to channel any pent up aggression from my day. In other words, it's cathartic for me to engage you this way. Feeling dirty yet? Poor guy, you'll get over it.

I also tend to fight for the underdog, and believe it or not, I would imagine the creator of this site endures one hell of a lot of abuse. I also fight for ERAC here because, on this particular site, ERAC is the underdog.

Maybe I'm the only one who can see admin's subtle arrogance and slightly excessive fondness he has toward his intellect. But what the hell do I know?

So what? I'm fond of my own damn intellect... So are you. You read as being quite fond of your fodder and you think that picking someone else apart for praising you, or even noticing your posts in general, makes them arrogant. Here's a thought: maybe you're overcompensating and feeling guilty about your own arrogance then lashing out at Admin.

I keep hearing how I'm not capable of any criticism, but in real life that if far from accurate. My performance reviews actually look quite different than you envision. But I guess you just have to take my word for that...which you probably won't.

You ARE an astute observer.

Your undying love for admin seems to be clouding your judgment. You seem to come to his aid every chance you get lately. Let me ask you a question, Fucking Christ.

It's Jesus or Bitch. First or last names are acceptable identifiers. (Somehow I'm guessing the latter is preferable.)

I agree with a lot of what he has to say, but he just comes across sometimes, to me at least, as a guy who thinks just a little too highly of himself. Sure you can say that is the case for me. But, you would simply be wrong. I love when you tell me to not take things seriously because I actually don't. I'm sure you disagree, and that's totally cool.

I'm glad I somehow provoked you to write "love, fucking christ and totally cool" all in one post...that's entertainment.
