Apparently intellectual property theft isn't as big a sin as the evil weed :)



Of course not, his website links to the alimighty Kazaa too. This must be one of the lesser sins. We better cache his page before he changes it and denies all knowledge. :D

Fvck me, it must be all that weed that I smoked back in high school that's deprived my memory of that juicy detail. Forgive me?

If you go to his main page... then look towards the left and scroll down, in the middle of some text in his "About me" heading, there's a link to a picture of him...


Man, I hope he's got thick skin considering the number of ppl on here who mock him...

I really don't have it out for the guy. I may disagree with his stance on damn near everything, but he's entitled. What he needs to learn, however, is some humility. We all need to be able to laugh at ourselves and be able to see our own shortcomings, so that we are not so surprised and infuriated when others point them out. :)



EDIT: It looks like mine is spelling, heh heh.

I read his post, and totally disagree with it. Esp. the part where he wants to try to get the guy kicked out. Thats really bad.

but u guys on here mocking him like this? okay a few posts i understand but its getting a bit too much IMO.

kickin a man while he's down = not cool. what does it say about you when you are basically calling him a loser and then the next minute you are scrutinizing his homepage?

NightFlyer:

Your'e roomie is okay dude. give it a break. so he does weed. even if he does cocaine, if he doesn't do it around you, doesn't bring it in your room, doesn't fck with ya, let it be. I, for one, don't care if my roomie is black, green, purple, or brown, gay or straight even. If he's a nice person, easy to get a long with, and doesn't mess with my biz, i don't care what the person does on his own free time. you mentioned he smokes weed in his car... so whats it to ya? you said he doesn't bring it back, right? i don't smoke weed but you and i both know that a lot of college students do. thats not reason to try to get the guy kicked out, thats just vicious. last post for 2 nite.. gnite folks..

Things are going downhill for me. Tonight I come home to find my roomy looking at porn and searching frantically for something in his pants.

Great parody! Made me actually laugh out loud.
Oh and NF relax we just saw you got pissed off because of the stuff that went down in your thread and so we kept pushing. Don't let yourself be pushed further by wasting all that time responding in a waaaaaaaay to thought out essay. Just laugh it off or turn your back.

If I didn't have thick skin, I wouldn't still be here. I have my fair share of shortcomings as do all of you, and chuckle at them when they're harmlessly pointed out. Yes, I'm humble. I just wish you guys wouldn't, in all seriousness, start a hate-trend on my a$$. This was not mocking-in-fun today. Threads like these can get easily blown out of proportion with the general population believing and amplifying whatever biased stuff they see from others. I'm a good person and there's no reason for the majority of this place to hate me, just like there's no reason for the majority to hate other halfway decent people on here. Mocking people in a teasing fashion is perfectly cool. Mocking people in a hatred/serious fashion, and that's just not cool if everyone's doing it. Put yourself in my shoes today if you believed in standing up for the things I do- how would you feel? I'm no George Kastanza, so I don't really care if there's a couple people or half of everyone who don't like me- you can't please everyone, so tough noogies- but it's discouraging when everyone does.

Did you like the picture on my website?

I'm so amazed at the amount of trouble some of you guys go through just for me- it's incredible. The more you do though, flavio, the more immature you look.

Nightfly, you were obviously shocked and (at least) annoyed by the fact that ppl disagree with you. It's too late to deny that and say you laugh at it. Well, unless you can somehow access the ATOT database and delete your posts. After all, you wrote that you made a mental (hate?) list; that's a bit drastic for someone who claims to be amused.

I'm sure you have friends, but it's not completely illogical to assume that you don't. People that have friends have learned to accept and forgive the flaws of others. You could try and work out an agreement with your roommate, or you can even try moving out. (Don't tell me there's no place to go. I was literally sleeping on my friend's floor for a few weeks of school one year, but I still found housing in the overcrowded/expensive berkeley area.) But your general attitude seems to be "I'm a senior, I've been here longer, I'm right, and I shouldn't have to accomodate him." Nice people do good things, not because they have to but, because they are considerate of others. You claim to be a nice guy, yet you show little consideration (initially anyways) for the havoc you would wreck upon your roommate's life, even though his actions do not affect you greatly. And to think, he had the consideration to not smoke in your dorm. Imagine how you would feel if a copyright zealot was to report you to the RIAA...

Humor me if you will. Are you an only child with a very religious upbringing? Or maybe the youngest child? I'm just curious.

look at it this way...at least people care enough and know enough to be able to make fun of you...if it was me, they wouldnt do this because I am not well known. Bright side of everything. :D

I can't believe he's still at it...


I think he has officially graduated to Jerboy-esque, with all rankness and annoyingness as provided by that title..

NFGTI--

Some advice, take it with a grain of salt if you will. For the several years that I've been a part of ATOT, I have seen people like you come and go, and it seems there is a formula to it. What you need to realize is that we are all from backgrounds so vastly different, that while in your own eyes you are a good, humble, well intentioned person with moral beliefs and behavior, that may not be the image you project to everyone else. I'm not making a case for relativism, all I'm saying is that you need to understand that YOUR viewpoint is not the only way, nor the absolutely correct way, nor the modus operandi of choice for the majority of others on this board. If you could learn to respect that, then we could learn to respect you.
