I'm sure that most of you already have begun to hate me, merely because I stood up for hating living contradictions, but that's alright. Everything I expected to happen from my most recent post about Method went exactly as I thought. I was hoping I would get a fun little flamewar out of it, because I love the ignorance often brought to the table, but no. Instead, I get Method merely giving a green-colored-shit response. However, quite a few things striked me as fascinating in that thread, and the one person who made the most impact on my understanding was a user by the name of Tom. I will now pos, piece by piece, what he wrote, and give my honest reply to everything.
--------------------
"This interested me greatly, Methodius. Someone said something you didn't like, just your average ubersite burn, and you accused them of being stupid. This is not Nazi Germany. Dissent does not equal stupid or evil. Get a grip. "
Correction- what he said was not something I didn't like, but rather, laughed at in the mere fact that an "established" user criticized me of stealing his name, which I have had since the beginning. Reducing every one of my posts' ratings because my name "looked" like his completely contradicts the fact that he's established as an uberuser and is highly "respected." And yes, whether this is Nazi Germany or not, if someone starts an arguement over a fucking name and takes time from their day to reduce this not-worth-a-shit rating, then it is, in fact, stupid.
--------------------
"I liked the way you said 'I am the change that ubersite needs', as if A) You actually are the change ubersite needs, B) You're actually going to make a change, and C) This website has some gravitational pull on the way history will unfold in the universe. "
First I want to apologize for the opaqueness of the statement "I am the change that uber needs." Don't get me wrong, I'm not some attention mongrol that thinks they'll actually change something. The purpose behind that bold statement, which is quite the focus of hatred as of right now, was to merely say that I speak more of truth and not opinion. Opinion does come into play, but the truth is sacred. If one can hold truth as dear to their heart as they do their own family, inspiration to others can be galactic in size. In every sense do I hope that everyone gets something out of my posts, good or bad, light or dark, agree or disagree, because that's the greatest way to increase intellect. Because I didn't quite make that statement clear, I can't blame anyone for hating someone who was merely trying to do them a favor.
--------------------
"I think you have a problem with choosing your battles, here. You think you're the change ubersite needs. Well thanks, Methodius."
Choosing my battles... I chose that battle very well. I'm surprised you don't agree with me because you, too, hate mediocrity (explained later on), or so it seems. I was merely fighting hypocrisy (which yes, I did spell wrong in my last post because I was very fucking tired yesterday, but that's no excuse for fucking up).
--------------------
"Just one thing: with all the war, famine, strife, and homeless in the world, you choose to make a difference on...ubersite? Well thanks, I guess. We're honored, but pick your battles a bit more wisely. At least if you tackled war, famine, strife, and the homeless, you'd have a chance of helping. Frankly, judging by this post and probably the only post I'll read of yours, you're not really a good or bad pull. You don't tip the scales. "
Do you honestly think that someone like me is going to make a change in those above things? I hate war. I hate famine. I hate all of that. This is aside from the point, but aren't those things not required to keep a balance of sense in this universe? Aren't they needed to balance out the good so we're not so full of ourselves? Of course they are, because that's the way it was decreed, whether you believe in God or some other force, or none at all for that matter.
--------------------
"To be brutally honest, you're just another uberusers in this sea of uberusers."
Well aware of that, Tom, but each uberuser has the potential do actually do something with themselves- some are just quicker in doing so.
--------------------
"The only way to prove yourself here is to shake mediocrity. Frankly, you come off as pretty mediocre. Not in your writing, but your senses."
I honestly hope that you decide to change your mindabout this after I have posted this. I seriously hope that in your mind, you do not see me as a fight-monger, and that I look for trouble. I created my post because I was sick of being criticized merely because a respected user thinks I'm posing as him. I know how to pick my battles, and I know when to do something in times of trouble. I did something about it this time, and was practically crucified merely for showing my individuality. I'm not upset that the responses were so negative- I asked for it by disagreeing with authority, no matter how truly righteous it was. The negative responses taught me alot, and I'm glad for them.
--------------------
"You're smart, you can pretty much tell that you're smart. However, you've proven to me today that you do not know how to handle yourself. "
Thanks for the constructive criticism.
*prays for honest replies to this thread, and not cheap attempts to whore attention*

Congratulations, you've turned into yet another whiny bitch. If you're going to call out another user, do it through email or something. Stop wasting bart's bandwidth, and my oxygen.

I've got an idea, why not just change your username as opposed to cause all this 'strife' as you call it?
I think a more apt title for you would be "Nutgobble McCockbreath" anyway.
You can hyphenate where you deem appropriate.

Nobody cares about your flame-war. Get on AIM and do it there. And please, please, for the love of God, do not post your AIM conversation.

That's dull. I always saw flamewars as quite entertaining. Oh well, to each their own...
