Here’s the thing - Mike is a pain sometimes. He’s overly argumentative, and rarely owns it when he’s wrong. However, without him the discussion in this forum would likely be cut in half, and at least 50% of his threads start out okay before getting derailed.
Also, wizard starting a separate “let’s bully Mike, I’m one of the cool kids right?” thread is sad, especially considering his awful reputation as a shady cheater. Why draw negative attention to yourself?
I'll ignore the last paragraph because it was stupid.
Did you see the idiotic rebounding thread Mike posted trying to make a case out of IQ being an important factor in rebounding? It most definitely wasn't a serious attempt at coming up with a decent discussion. And then he had the nerve to start redlining people that disagreed with him.
He adds 0 to any discussion. He might pull you in for a post or two making a decent argument, but then it's trolling followed by " him having to get the last word in". Or the "I'm always right attitude" while putting two fingers in his ears and one in his *** yelling lalalala.
But what you don't understand is, people no longer post here because of his incessant trolling. He feels the need to post in every single thread and change the direction of the topic.
Aw come on, my last paragraph was spot on.
I’m just trying to point out that this thread seems a little obsessive. If we were in elementary school, this is the type of thread a girl would start about a boy she has a crush on. You can’t honestly tell me that the purpose of this thread came from a mature problem-solving place, right?
If you’re going to try calling Mike out on forum etiquette or a lack of maturity or whatever it is you think you’re doing, you can’t do so while displaying a lack of etiquette or maturity. That’s just silly. Given my history of conversations with Mike I’m really surprised that I’m on his side of the fence here, but this little obsession just kind of gives me the heebie jeebies.
