Regardless of what I've said to people in the past, better believe I wouldn't be going out of my way to try and insult or make fun of someone over an Internet gaming forum these days.... and ill be the first to tell you in a battle of wits/intelligence, you'd win hands down. But as a human being you just come off like you kinda suck. Anywho, Rob I love you lets get a drink this week
I appreciate your post, actually, as I think it was pretty mature. I don't disagree that my persona on these forums might give the impression of someone who is kind of "sucky," but it's all in good fun for me because the vast majority of my trolling consists of posting "jimmies rustled" photos which I don't see as being some heinously offensive act. To those who know me beyond surface-level impressions, I think they'd say I'm a decent guy as I do go out of my way to help those who need it (and would to anyone reading this message...EVEN POLAK or those I don't know). I have done so for a handful of people since returning to the scene a few weeks ago. Regarding life stuff - people taking advantage of that psych education~~~~. Also I've received a lot of PMs from people asking about health/nutrition/exercise, including people I don't know. Always willing to help them out as much as they ask.
In regards to this thread: I got called out over something completely false (i.e., Rob hinting at me lying about being in graduate school). Of course I'll get somewhat defensive when he's making up nonsense and reaching really false conclusions. Any "shit don't stink" attitude stems from me trying to explain Rob's false accusations. Do you have anything to say about him making ridiculous claims with zero substance? Or are you just pointing out my response to said claims? Are we overlooking his role here? Is he not coming across as douchey? That's how I saw it.
I do my best to refrain from
personal insults with people who don't know me. Corey knows I like him, Rob knows I like him, my stabs at them are mutual (meaning, they have similarly taken jabs at me in vent and on the forums). I like to joke around with lots of people I know. If it hurts them on a more personal level, allow me to apologize to them right now. I have not received that impression because neither have said anything to me about it. But again, if it has, I would absolutely apologize!
