I am so grateful that we are finally having open, frank, and respectful discussion on the OP's point.
You can almost taste the irony
Pac, what happens is the same dozen asshats keep posting identically...then others just buy in or think that way.
This is why it's my offer for anyone to just prove me wrong...they can't but still want to say I just make shit up.
There were two very critical parts of my life that gave me knowledge that I have. One, my education; which I am proud of. 7+ years of college where I took on those harder electives and took both of two options (or three at times). Two, some of my past; which I am not so proud of but which also drove me to complete #1.
I am opinionated, I am a pretty loose guy to hang out with. Smoke a blunt, enjoy sex, think pokemon is fun...I may not want a part of it, but you aren't hurting anyone...so be it.
However; don't steal...mislead, lie...etc. Don't think you should have everything your neighbor does 'just because'.
I post this here. I give an honest opinion usually backed by cold hard facts. I don't believe in sugar coating something because reality is what you get in the end.
It's getting old...if I really wanted to play the troll I'd relish in it. The problem is if I go tit for tat, someone goes and cries for help. It's crazy. The only time I have gone to the mods for backup on anything is where laws/major ethical issues were being broken and there was a frenzy buying into it. We don't need copycats out there.
The sad part to me is many of the people that are part of the attacks on me are those I flat out proved wrong not out of spite, but out of knowledge. Then instead of chalking it up to a new lesson learned or a better way to do something...they want to smite me out.
