let’s face it. one of the favorite pastimes of the overly sensitive is humiliating themselves. get in a disagreement over some insignificant little thing blow it all out of proportion, perceive it as a slight and run off to silk, licking imaginary wounds. the playing field is as level as it is ever going to be… some possess rapier like wit, others, a brooding angst. at some point in our lives we learn to live with our shortcomings and engage in endeavors where we are more adept. Perhaps we learn to adapt and bend in the wind; perhaps we learn to accept that tilting at windmills is an exercise in futility, even if we do enjoy it. some learn to use their weakness as an excuse to garner attention and an unfair advantage; “oh the poor sensitive soul, be easy on him.” these folks, may have their own self-pity eventually exposed for what it is. They then try to cover it up claiming "it was only make believe. now i have been shot down about my non capitalizatinanions by some guy who has three dictonaries in his wife er life. then i got two mod warnings, ‘hey dude, mod hat on, mod hat off’ some such thing. firstly, i am not merkan. i found this board to be a resource of human watching in the sense of how we interact. as a board never kill the seeds of what you need. moving on. we all play games. internet and life. not about me here. discuss what you see as differences. ---

Your lack of capitalization doesn’t bother me. At least you’re not using txt spk like that other guy. If it’s readable it’s good as far as I’m concerned. I don’t know what you got mod noted for, but you probably deserved it. 😛 ---

Dude. It’s _Blob_, with an L. Get it right! As far as your OP, I really don’t understand what you’re saying. If someone would translate I’d be happy to give my opinion. ---

You think you’re the only Australian on the board? Get over yourself and get with the program. Part of human interaction, even if only through a computer screen, is learning the acceptable social rules and cues of the local culture. Just who the fuck do you think you are that you can simply ignore basic human courtesy and behave in ways that run counter to local culture and be applauded for it? ---

> [@TheChileanBlob](#): > > If someone would translate I’d be happy to give my opinion. Here you go: “I’m Australian\* and can’t be bothered with things like capitalization or spell check. Stop being mean to me. You Americans\*\* should loosen up.” \*note: I’m not sure why this is important, but the OP believes it is relevant. \*\*note: I’m really not sure how this is relevant as many of the posters the OP has interacted with aren’t even American. ---

I’m with the Blob on this. What’s to discuss? The OP is unintelligible, though it makes a nice word salad. And ‘merkan’? You cannot be serious? And I say that as a Canadian! When come back bring coherent. (Mate!) ---

Claiming you are not whoring attention, is the same as not whoring for more attention. Protip: when you begin an OP, and have to note explicitiy “it’s not about me”, you probably look like you are making it about you. ---

sentrix, your posts make no sense and often contain complete non sequiturs. That being said, I hope you stick around because there is a vague sort of promise that you might post something I’ll think is funny/amusing one day. ---

Oh, I like the guy, and I hope he sticks around. He’s got a refreshing juvenile troll feel to him. Now, if he goes off on some anti-Semitic diatribe, boot his ass. Otherwise, let him stay. Conservative skirt sniffer? Sure, why not. Fox News is well known for having the hot blondes. Smoking hot, stupid, and insane chicks can be a ton of fun. ---
