OP gets defensive
Anyone who didn't see this coming, please raise your hand and excuse yourself from the room.
I fully expected it. I'm not being defensive. I'm not allowing people to be jerkoffs just because this is ATOT. This happens in 3/4s of the threads here. The holier-than-thou crowd (of which waggy is a charter member) come flying into a thread and setup shop. Anything the OP says is wrong or whining, if they try to defend themselves that's even worse. It doesn't work on me because I've been around longer than most of them, and I know how this forum is.
It wasn't that I said don't bitch at me -- it was that I tried to give people fair warning that I wouldn't put up with the typical ATOT trash. If you don't understand or sympathize with my post then that's fine. The piling on of "durr, durr, you should have bought it" after I already mentioned that in the OP is childish. Most threads turn out this way on AT. Someone can say: "Hey, my gas stove flamed up really quick when I lit it, and it singed my armhair." At least 10 posts will berate the OP for not having an electric stove. A rebel faction of even larger morons will berate the for not wearing safety gloves and an apron or for standing too close the stove. The OP can be a professional chef -- and the posters a bunch of 15 year old WOW players -- and they will claim moral and numerical superiority.
Why? Because everyone on AT is perfect and makes perfect decision at the exactly right time. They all have plenty of money, so 20k is like one day of work to them. They not only would have anticipated the exact date of construction, but they would have lowballed the developer, banged his wife, cured cancer, and imported rare teak trees to plant on the property.
Honestly, does anyone on AT have a soul anymore, or can admit they are not perfect? Lots of you might not care because you are not a homeowner or have sociopathic tendencies, but the rest of you have fallen into the ATOT cult of attack every OP -- no matter if they admit they KNOW they could have fixed the situation in the OP.
Sad, really sad. Some of you need to stop posting 30+ times a day and go interact with folks in the real world.
huh...any time i ever made a post complaining about how ATOT is, i got flamed for it.
