Y’all seem to be enjoying yourselves, but if any of you want an unbiased opinion, **Aeschines** is a dull, repetitive, egotistical, delusional and pompous idiot, but, given enough time, which I currently estimate to be 27years, to mature, he could possibly be tolerable. ---

> [@Aeschines](#): > > You fucked up. Did he? His post appears at the top of page four on my browser. Perhaps your browser settings are different. That may be generous, though; I suspect you’re really just lashing out so rapidly, you’re paying little or no attention to accuracy. Anyway, on a more careful re-read, I’ll grant that the narcissism you mention in post #18 has some validity, but not the notion of an “overall narcicisstic [sic 😃 \*] strategy”, which kind of implies I try to turn every thread (or at least many threads) into a discussion about me. This is contradicted by your simultaneous description of me as a hit-and-run poster who makes negative remarks in threads and then abandons them. How do you reconcile these observations, and can you supply examples? \*Not that the typo is funny in itself, I just find the alliteration “narcicisstic-sic” comical ---

> [@Bryan Ekers](#): > > Heck, come up with a valid anything at this point and I’ll be impressed. LMAO! 😛 Kind of cuts right to the point there. For the record put me on with the others saying that Ekers is a fairly ammusing poster who is definitely an asset to the board…while I wouldn’t exactly be heart broken if anything, er, happened to Aeschines membership. Got to be one of the lamest Pit threads this month. Does anyone keep track for some kind of Pit Hall of Fame? -XT ---

This is contradicted by your simultaneous description of me as a hit-and-run poster who makes negative remarks in threads and then abandons them. How do you reconcile these observations, and can you supply examples? You make a good point. Your narcissistim is perhaps yet to be fully explored on the board. Look, at the end of the day, you were one of the skeptics who was always (according to my perspective) being a dick to myself and the other New Agers. You had a vicious know-it-all thing going, too. You seem to recognize in this thread that you make these drive-by quips and seem pretty proud of them. I don’t really find them funny. Those are my complaints. ---
