“Don’t be afraid to puncture some of these giant egos.” -Sez the guy clinging to his beliefs after being demonstrated wrong _over_, and _over_, and _over_… And then suggests maybe he’s being wrong on purpose just to be an asshole. Ohh yes, let us take lessons from the master…my ego’s in tatters, I can assure you! You’re doing a great job, Brownie! ---

As is mine from the tongue lashing I’ve received. BUAHAHA! Pot meet kettle. ---

More and more I am struck by the correlation between use of “hahaha” (and similar constructs) and the inept moronitude displayed by those posting in such a manner. Further research is required to establish whether the number of "ha"s correlates directly with the degree of asshattery. ---

I fear you were right about not being able to rise to the level here. “Pot meet kettle” doesn’t even make sense in this context. ---

Given your tone, I can see how laughter would be considered “asshattery”. I wish you luck in your research. I plan on investigating how one can sit and type with such a long wooden object inserted so far into one’s digestive tract. I suppose you’re right Truman. You doing a great job attempting to deflate my ego is nothing like adhar being an asshole to do the same thing. ---

OP: Is it just me or are you folks needlessly verbose? I have to say, as a newb I’m finding it such a turn off to have to slog through so much faux intellectual posturing to get to the point. Is this how this place rolls? ---

Did a question about verbosity and a generalized comment about intellectual posturing deflate your ego Truman? Are you feeling raw about and need a hug? ---

No. I was trying to point out that you **started** this thread trying to build **your** ego by labeling \*\*others \*\*‘faux’ intellectuals, then later admitting you probably didn’t have the horsepower to participate here up to speed. Projection much?:rolleyes: ---

I was trying to do no such a thing. My ego does not require building or validation and I don’t need the identification of faux intellectuals to accomplish that if I need feel it was necessary. If this was all about my ego, would I admit I’m not up to speed? No, I would not. So what am I projecting exactly? ---

My apologies adaher for the mistype on your name. Okay, so far insults have been a dig at my typos, I’m stupid, my past posts are few and far between, I’m a troll and an attention whore. Can some please accuse me of being under 15 and a man pretending to be a woman so we can cover all the cliche bases? Please don’t let anyone accuse you folks of being original. ---

I’m going to just go with attention whore as my number one. I don’t think you’re stupid. I received what you said about possible typos occurring due to a health condition, so I’ll let them slide. 😉 You also adequately explained the reason for the time lapse between joining and posting. So yeah, attention whore. Work it girl, work it! ---
