Yup, people don't even read my posts or anything "OMFG 50PPD~ HAXX - n00b". And if they do call me an idiot, that is the basis for their argument.. Sound familiar?

it's not the PPD that make you look like an idiot, it's the posts
Wow.. you're really against me, aren't you? Why not change your name to "omgihatejoedrake"? I've never offended you, have I?
And for the record: I think I usually post with some sense of intelligence, as I spell most words correctly and rarely use internet abbreviations/acronyms. PM me a link to some of my posts you find idiotic (without being a wiseass), I'm really interested.

Idiotic posts with perfect grammar are still idiotic posts.

I have mixed emotions about mine. I used to HATE it when I was younger, but now I'm sorta indifferent. I like that the name is uncommon, but sometimes I wish I had one that was more common.

For example, some fast-food restaurants and coffee shops in my area take your name with your order instead of assigning you a number. Unfortunately, most of the workers at these restaurants do not speak english as their first language, so invariably I end up having to pick-up "Bart's" order or "Mark's" order or "Gart's" order. It frustrates the hell out of me.

It's ironic, too, because those restaurants do the name-taking thing to try to make the cusomter's experience more positive and friendly, but all it does it turn me off and make me not want to come back.

Well, if you'd be so kind, can you also PM me a list of a few posts that I have made which are idiotic? K, thanks.

i'm not going to wade my way through 3k+ posts just to find the ones where you happen to make an ass of yourself. my, and others, opinion is not baseless however. when you're not busy adding nothing to a thread, you're sounding like an idiot while adding nothing to a thread. i'm sorry to sound like such an ass, but it's hard not to notice these things when you make an appearance in every single thread.

Mine's fine (Ernest/Ernie), except a lot of people want to put an A in it (it'e er, not ear!), and now I might change it to add a D (but that's in the middle name, so won't matter too much, overall).
