Just an observation, but I have to ask.

[Paulson]

Now, I know most of you think Anand is your all time favorite guy (or at least his site kicks ass)

anyways, why is it though that most people tend to make him sound all famous. Now, I guess if he wants to think that way and has supporters of it, that's fine, but really, why glamorize him so much? He's got money, but is that what makes someone idolized?

I don't know, some of you guys make it sound like he's god or something. I wonder why?

Dammit, someone reinstalled Paulson 1.0!

oh, thank you for your outgoing contribution AMD. I guess all those quality posts you have don't consist of this right?

Ya, I thought so.

What do you mean by this? Give us an example. You're not being very specific/descriptive.

Anand is to be admired and respected not because he is "famous" or "has money", but because he has busted his ass and earned everything that he has.

Well, I'm too lazy to search for threads in the past, but the would you take a bullet for anand question just in itself made me think is he that glamorized.

I mean, give him credit, he has definitely taken a vision and made it possible, and has something to show for it, but I don't know if he wants everyone to think he's some god or that meeting him would be the coolest thing. (I guess I could understand if you got more excited meeting him rather than the president )

Anyways, I know in past experiences (I've prolly done it to some extent) but I see a lot of ass kissing, or something like that...

Exactly. Don't we all wish we had done what he did. I had a dumb website, did I post daily reviews to my website (remember those days...lol) no I didn't. Anand got what he has because of working hard and making good decisions. I look up to him for that.

 

[Paulson]

I see your point Russ.

I'm not saying he shouldn't be glamorized, I just think sometimes people can take it too far.



(or else mainly I'm talking outta my ass which I've been most of today)

Actually I think they installed Paulson version 1.0a by mistake

 

[SackOfAllTrades]

I respect Anand for his hard work, but if this site shutdown I'd just have an extra fifteen minutes in my day.

 

[Soybomb]

I think you might be overemphasizing that thread. Just because I make a &quot;would you take a bullet for blake&quot; thread doesn't mean that we're kissing your ass

 

[Paulson]

Ya but who would do that?

It's just me. A big oaf hiding behind an elf.

I think Paulson means: if you saw Anand in public would you go crazy like some little girl who has seen nsync?
