s_k - Sometimes I actually think you want to be helpful and nice to others simply out of the goodness of your own heart, but more often than not, I think you do it because of how you think it reflects on you. This is supported by the fact that at any given opportunity, you manage to make absolutely every fucking conversation you have about anything... about YOU. I think you revel in self-attention, and even though you're not exactly the stereotypical attention-starved individual, it's blatantly obvious that you enjoy nothing more than talking about yourself and padding your ego wherever possible. When you can't, you find ways to make the information you're offering relative to your personal opinion. In fact, when you read this, you will reply to it in a way that proves everything I have just said. You absolutely cannot stand it when people think negatively of you, and you'll do everything in your power to change that, which is extremely unrealistic, and pointless. You also claim that you have Autism, which I'm not contesting, but you most certainly seem to love using it as justification for your mistakes, and parading it around with the expectation that any time you're wrong, we'll pat you on the back and say "oh that poor, poor guy... if it weren't for his 'disability', he'd be absolutely perfect!"....

The truth is, you're just too socially functional for us to let you off that easily. When you fuck up, we don't blame the Autism... You're the only one.


djchameleon - To me, you come off as some cheap knock-off Hallmark card Encyclopedia of shallow, meaningless anecdotes designed only for the purpose of validating your worth to the forum. I do think you mean well, and you're not self-centered, but you simply say thinks for the sake of saying them without any regard for substance. And that's not even the worst part. Your incessant need to assert this hyper-dominant 'male' stereotype about yourself speaks to a glaring inadequacy as a male that I believe you are terrified of people realizing. It might even stem from the fact that your voice sounds ANYTHING but 'dominant male', and you might have a long history of animosity towards that fact, which results in your need to compensate wherever possible. It's like the classic "little guy in a big truck" syndrome, or more classically, the Napoleon syndrome... only in a different context. I think in reality, you're about as manly as a female kitten, and I think you feel the same way... and in an internet forum, you have a chance to combat it with over-the-top references to what manly guys might identify with. The fact that you go over-the-top with this really confirms that.

With all that said, I don't dislike you. I push your buttons because they need to be pushed. The real you needs to come out of the closet (not a gay joke) and not worry about what everyone else will think. I think that if you were more true to yourself, then you'd have a lot more to offer.


Dirty - I just wanted to include you because my opinions of you have changed. When you first came here, I thought you were a bit trollish and illogical, but the more I've read your posts, the more I've come to realize that you're pretty much the antithesis of djchameleon in the fact that you bare your opinions with absolutely 100 percent conviction and without regard for how they make you look. That makes the things you say worth reading, in my opinion, because you don't tailor your perspective to others. And more often than not, the things you say--however caustic--are usually very much correct.


holly984 - Sometimes, you make me hate the multi-quote button.


Vanilla - I love ya, but sometimes you have the decision-making skills of a newborn bird. I gotta say, though, that you're doing better as a mod than I thought you would. I love that you're fired up for the job. Being here as long as you have, it seems an unlikely trait, but you obviously have a huge part of yourself invested in this forum and it shows in your attitude toward maintaining it. I've come to realize that you're a perfect fit, and you excel where some of us don't, and vice-versa.


I guess that's it for now. I have lost steam.
