For example, I bet the OP is TRUELY an adept sexual predator, with an astounding IQ and a bankroll that never ends!

lol, cute!

i should toss that in: "...loves to play the 'i'm different thus superior' card, though actually falling into the basest, most simple form of goth-angst out there.

...in middle school"
crawling in my skin?

Just because he asks me to make sure my mommy isn't around whenever we speak doesn't mean he's a sexual predator.

And here I thought one of them would be: "Ooops! You encountered an error, we have let the webmaster know about the problem."

3. 99% of individuals have a highly inflated impression of their own self worth. The remaining 1% was emotionally beaten into oblivion by the majority, after posting either a high-school centered YAGT or accidentally presenting a story in a way that could cause the OP to be mistaken as a bigot. That 1% now hides in the shadows, waiting in futility for their name to fade again from the spotlight of notoriety ? but ATOT never forgets.

The median income of an ATOT member is $500k, didn't you know?;)

This thread would be much better with linked example threads for each of the 11 points.

Never will you post again without another individual taking it upon themself to reference (links and all) your past. This also works in the lower, less glamorous end of the spectrum. Your opinion is of absolute worthlessness once someone digs up a post you made 8 years ago, while inebriated, about how you thought GWB wasn't "that bad".

who was that?

I only vaguely remember that...wasn't that the one where different people asked for clarification and were then promptly banned?

I think I stayed the hell out of that thread.

And because it was time to hit the gym anyway.

Link to menage thread? :D
