Anyone here who thought I was “better” than anyone else here - guess what? Can’t happen. You and I are equal to the lowest of the low. Kissing dick-ass is a profound waste of time but we’re all equal to those who do it. Dead equal. Neck in neck. I’m good at slamming slammers, but that doesn’t mean I’m not slamming. Just because somebody thinks it’s a good thing to slam a slammer doesn’t make it anything other than slamming on top of slamming which only increases the slamming. I’m \*\*\*good \*\*\*at it because “social approval” doesn’t mean anything to me which frees up my whole mind for some pretty acute observation and makes everybody’s “sore spots” stick out like a sore thumb. \*\*\*Many \*\*\*people worry about nothing \*\*\*but \*\*\*“social approval” from the time they get up in the morning until they go to bed at night. If they don’t get it where they live, they come to the internet and get it from other trolls. They don’t think straight, they’re always either angry or afraid and you can’t think straight with your head all fucked up in stuff like that. It gives me an advantage. Nothing to be proud of - just a fact. I don’t kiss ass. Big deal. Never have. Not because I think it’s wrong or that I’m right but because kissing the asses of equals is absurd. It’s so fucking time and resource consuming that I don’t understand how most people are able to even feed and dress themselves, most of the time. ---

We’ve seen hundreds of new posters come in here with pretensions of having original thoughts or being “edgy” when they were almost inavaribly just rehashing old discredited ideas or just plain stupid. Some of them figure out what this place is about and drop the act and end up contributing to the discourse, most of them either /ragequit when their schtick doesn’t work here or they get booted when they go over the top. We’ve even seen this hipster variety of “I don’t care what anyone else thinks, because I’m authentic” before and it stopped being novel while Bush was still in office. Don’t get me wrong, there are a few interesting thoughts in your posts every once in a while but thats true of a lot of posters here. ---

As someone who was called “sissy” and attacked and beaten up by other males, I don’t much appreciate the language you’re using there, **Bo Pai**. What the hell kind of problem do you have with sissies, and what have sissies ever done to you to generate this attitude? Believe me, it’s conventionally masculine males who are a hell of a lot more likely to follow the boypack and do whatever the other boypeople are doing and to be scared to stand up to them. It takes courage to be a sissy and disregard the opinion of other males about how male people ought to be. Trust me on this. ---

Don’t be daft. Most are just as silent and afraid as the boys, most thought it was rare and couldn’t possibly happen to them because they’re “one of the boys” and most occurrences are never reported. > [@](#): > > We’ve seen hundreds of new posters come in here with pretensions of having original thoughts or being “edgy” when they were almost inavaribly just rehashing old discredited ideas or just plain stupid.

I think you’ve pretty much covered all of your bases. No matter what happens, you can legitimately say the \*\*\*most \*\*\*prized, social-approval-seeking term on the planet - “I was right.”. Well done!! Hope I didn’t spoil it for ya. ---

“I am right”? The most prized, social-approval-seeking term? I’m pretty sure you mean “Woohoo, I just got a blowjob!” ---

It takes courage to be a sissy and disregard the opinion of other males about how male people ought to be. Trust me on this. I think you missed the point or got it backwards or something. And I’m not going to burden you with my trust - it’s a truly awful thing to do to somebody. Unless, of course, they’re a serial killer or something. Serial killers like being trusted - or so I hear. Not a big fan of “courage”, either. It’s basically fear, standing in defiance of the thing feared, double-dog-daring it to take its best shot. It’s not a “bad” thing, but nothing is, so… ---
