I'm sorry if I anger you...I think you an awesome member, honestly. But I've been wanting to say that for a while.

Of course, it could just be that I'm way too soft and just don't take things very well in general. You'd think someone like me would be smart enough to stay off the big, bad internet, but nope! Relentless optimism and faith always wins the turkey here.

Although it should be noted that the slightly out of the blue semi-accusation above me has nothing to do with the "Attention Whore" comment you made. That's actually very true in more ways than I'd care to admit, and I have to thank you for being honest in that regard.

I must say that I very much enjoy you coming to me in an earnest and honest way.

However, I must refute some of your points.

<blockquote class='ipsBlockquote' ><p>and it's somewhat clear to me that you really do let real life events influence your posts, to at least a large extent.</p></blockquote>
See, the thing is I don't, I really don't. I have no personal problems outside of the internet to bring onto the internet, I have a job I don't hate, I have a nice place to live, I am never hungry, I have almost everything I want or need, and except for this cold I've been battling my life is always grand.

That said, in the Skype thread I said I don't have any personal problems to bring to this forum from outside it because I indeed don't, however, that doesn't mean I don't have problems that exist solely on this forum and doesn't effect me anywhere else on the internet or in life.

That problem namely being certain members that are allowed to get away with acting a certain way that is clearly against the rules and should be bannable just because they've been here for a long time. Even I myself am allowed to completely run amuck all over this forum and at the end of the day I don't even get a slap on the wrist.

When I called you an attention whore it was neither an insult or flaming you, I meant it truly, because as you've admitted yourself you are one, and it is mega obvious all across the forums. Even in this thing that is suppose to be about me you had to slip in a little section about yourself.

But, hell! Even that is better than most of the members going around being assholes for the sake of being an asshole because they know they can get away with it.

Sorry, I really shouldn't assume these things. It's good to know that stuff on the internet doesn't affect you anywhere else, though.

It's sad, but the warped clique system this forum has is hard to deny or ignore. I'd rather not go dredge up examples, but the warnings and bans thread makes it pretty clear.

I didn't think you were flaming or anything, because "mega obvious" is a bit of an understatement. I don't like being so self-centered, but I really just can't stop. <img src='http://www.cavestory.org/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/koron.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':koron:' />

The forum isn't completely horrible of course, every member like myself has good points and bad points. But as a whole from an outsider's perspective it seems like we are all a bunch of grumpy old men yelling at kids to get off our lawns.

I guess so. If you look hard enough, you can find slightly redeeming qualities in most everyone, but that's harder to do on the internet...

You know...since most of the metaphorical old men here don't really look like they plan on leaving anytime soon, and there's going to continue to be a steady stream of new users coming in, I wonder if that will result in a forum that's pretty much divided in two? Or maybe it already has...
