Should Lifers get some sort of Golden Key?

I'm way over myself. You'll never see me pimp posting an "elite" thread. I care not one whit for any title.

What I posted about the genesis of the "lifer" title is merely 100% accurate. If you can't handle the truth, so be it. Attacking me does not change that.

I'm sorry you thought I was pissing on your parade. I didn't know there was a parade. I thought you guys didn't take your status seriously.

Nate, I know you've got a good sense of humor. So you should be able to laugh at yourself for pontificating to me so lugubriously:

"In the end, Perknose, this is an internet forum. It's cheap amusement, at its worst, and it's deep human connection at its best. I've found some amazing people here with whom to converse, and I can assure you that none of us give a damn about our postcount any more or less than we care about our Elite title, because when we walk away to do things in real life, it just doesn't affect any of us that much."

about this site. Can you not appreciate the irony? A guy who posts 20 times a day telling a guy who posts on average about 1 1/2 times a day not to take the whole thing too seriously!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!😛

Cheers!

Where was I attacking you? I'll ask you again to use your mod powers to reset my postcount, I don't care. What I do take offense at is you attacking me for poking fun at some of my cohorts.

And, yes, I can appreciate the irony, as I'm that guy... and, yes, I'm telling you not to take it seriously.

I didn't attack you at all. What I posted about the history of the term "lifer" is 100% historically true and accurate, and is not even my opinion at all, but simply FACT.

However, as I said before, I didn't mean to piss on your parade, as I didn't know there was one.

I can see I've been insensitive. So PLEASE accept my apology, and I will darken this thread no more (unless attacked).

I laugh when I see "lifer" held up as a badge of distinction. It was instituted as a sarcastic mark of derision for those who had proven beyond any doubt that they had no real life -- like putting "kick me" on the back of a dork. Like it or not, it was meant to be synonomous with "loser".

Still, terms take on lives of their own, and "lifer", like "niqqer" and "freak", has been proudly appropriated by those it was meant to deride. So, wave your "lifer" flags high and sing along with CSN&Y:

Almost cut my threads, it happened just the other day.
It's getting? kinda long, I coulda said it wasn't in my way.
But I didn't and I wonder why, I feel like letting my lifer flag fly,
cause I feel like I owe it to someone.:music:

before you judge me take a look at you
can't you find somethig better to do
point the finger, slow to understand
arrogance and ignorance go hand in hand

it's not who you are it's who you know
others lives are the basis of your own
burn your bridges build them back with wealth
judge not lest ye be judged yourself

holier than thou
you are
holier than thou
you are

you know not

Pot is calling the kettle black again. 😛

Sorry. Just found it ironic that you use your lack-of-post count as some sort of defense, even if it is tongue-in-cheek. 😛

Better be careful when attacking a mod.
