You're a complete idiot if you think that's the case. There's not even the tiniest little agenda.

Disagreed, it may not be conscious, but I think its rather plain to see that its there. Don't rock the boat, newbie...you guys got more than you bargained for with me.

When you all first told me that my ideas were ridiculous/stupid/that I didn't know anything, etc...you were probably just hoping that I would shut up and either fall in line, or go away

No, people were trying to help (I'm talking about HD-related stuff). Maybe this is at the core of the problem ... you somehow actually think that people have an ageda like this, towards you or anyone else.

You're trying to change the argument here...I was talking about when I very first posted here about the OTR SOS rankings, not about the recent "Game Nonsense" thread. Even in the GN thread there's a sense of we're right, you're wrong, move along you don't know anything...you guys have flat said that before. To suggest that I don't start with one foot in the hole every time I post (which is majority my fault and I'll own that) I think is silly and incorrect. Y'all have a brashness of your own.

...well I don't play that, especially when I know I have good concepts and they aren't necessarily things I developed on a whim. When I'm licked, I'll admit it,

Part of the problem is clearly that you often don't know when you're "licked".

Disagreed, I think you confuse "when I'm licked" with you wanting me to just shut up already. Rightly or wrongly, I don't simply take things at face value.

but not until then and I largely think that part of the reason that people get ****** off at me here is because I don't give up easily when it wasn't what you expected...I just get that vibe. In all seriousness, I'm as bad as you guys want me to be.

Oh God. I just threw up in my mouth a little. Get over yourself ... it really shouldn't be that difficult.

Actions speak louder than words my friend...all anyone really wants here is a +1 in their W column...

I have too much fight in me to simply jump ship and join the "world" side. I'll take on the world especially as far as my rankings and concepts go, even if everyone here disagrees with me, that still isn't a good enough reason to stop believing in or stop doing what I'm doing. I am not your normal, average, every day person, and giving in just because everyone thinks you should is always a silly reason to do so


Can't argue that a bit, and as I said before, I think it's admirable that you have the balls to defend what you think is right. But sometimes you have to pick and choose your battles. You can't fight every battle every time, as much as I can tell you'd like to. Unless you're a fan of ulcers!!! :^)

YOu know how many arguments your would short circuit if, the FIRST TIME someone made one of those arguments, you would just accept they MIGHT be right Like I said, if you want to sway my opinion, I'm a tough nut to crack - that its even possible - do the minimal amount of research to find that out, and say "Ooops, my bad, you were right' . . and move on That has happened on multiple occasions, but what has really shown itself to be true is that you aren't so concerned with the argument, rather you're concerned about me patting you on the back and telling you that you were right. I often times don't know when we're having a sensible argument, or when we're playing beat the colonel. Again, I've apologized and conceded others points many times over, and if you fail to realize this, then we'll just keep butting heads., rather than instantly presuming ANYTHING you say has to be defended to the death and is a hill to die on, and that admitting you could possibly have even made an error anywhere in your life is tantamount to a session of torture? I/What I do is often times the thing on trial in "my" threads thus of course I'm always first going to defend who I am and what I do, and yes I'm aware that I put myself in this predicament, and I wouldn't do it if I couldn't handle it. Just because you think you have the right answer/solution to a perceived problem doesn't mean that said problem is going to be fixed and adhered to according to your standards...I understand this as much as anyone because I too have been on that side many times. My rankings and such are now better than ever because of the people here in 2004 and 2005 telling me not only did my rankings "suck" but also offering suggestions as to what I should do to fix the problems...it was a belligerent head-to-head battle there too, but I'm appreciative of those guys arguing with me, helping me to better my system.


And that goes doubly for when HALF THE BOARD tells you that something you have said is factually wrong. No matter how many people say it, you don't even accept it as a possibility until someone forces it down your throat. If every now and then you would just swallow the pill, the suppository wouldn't be necessary. Posts like these make it feel like your main agenda when replying to my posts is to prove me wrong.

ZI'm sorry, but fifteen pages later after having to have it forced on you by half the forum. .doesn't count. ANd there goes your infamous victim card again.

I do pick and choose my battles and really in front of this computer, I'm cool, calm, and collected when I'm posting. I started these threads, people are still posting at me in them...its only appropriate for me to return fire. The last thing I want is for people to not know where I stand because I didn't post or make myself clear enough. I virtually post to be understood


So really, for you, it's all about having the last word. I ask again, how old are you? Because that's about grade school level.......
