And then, and THEN! And then you all act like you’re bringing man fire for the first time, you act like you’re teaching some poor, degenerated little species how to talk and act, you act like you are the most clever person on the face of the planet, and you act like you’re the long-suffering teacher, the one to be looked up to, worshipped, and thanked for all your hard-earned effort?
Poor, suffering little martyr.
Poor little teacher, devoid of any thanks for his tireless and unending job. Sure, you like ET. You say you do. But at the same time, you talk of all your ‘other’ forums you go to! Do you act the same way there? Do they accept you? Do they take your kind gifts of bitter insults and snide comments, cleverly tucked away in your posts, little treasures that you wish, oh, you just WISH somebody would find?
How long do you think about those?
How many times do you look at your avatar, your signature, your post # 1800, and think, “I’m going to push this little insult into my post, and then people WILL NOTICE IT! And then they’ll be crushed by my logic and reasoning and bitter sense of humor an caustic personality!”
And you wonder why Zip is filled with ‘petty hate?’
You come into his forums with your little posse and they all do what you do, and they all back you up on everything you do, Because you are the most clever person on the face of the planet, of course, and they all copy cute little dictionary entries into their signatures, just because they think you’re hot stuff! I commend you! One of your posse is more blunt than you are. He commands far less guile and intruige. His posts tend to be ignored, because yours are there, in the forefront. He wouldn’t post without you there.
The other showcases all of the traits that you insult in other ET-goers! Bad grammar, horrific spelling, bad capitalization! You blindly ignore the arguments of people persecuting you, and instead choose to insult their choice of spelling, of typing, of word choice! Don’t worry: It’s natural. There’s nothing left to fall back onto in the face of such arguments. They’re right.
You try to beat your ideology into all of the harmless little ET-goers, you insult them on their ideas and viewpoints on all sorts of things! You come into the Love topic and insult them! You admonish and scold them for just thinking out loud, like they’re some kind of child for YOU to control! How do they feel?
A member, well-meaning, posts, making fun of the previous poster, doubting how well a ‘ long-distance relationship ‘ would work. That’s fine also. It happens, ET moves on.
But THEN, here’s the kicker. YOU come into the topic, and then proceed to insult and scold the member! YOU do the EXACT SAME THING he does, but then you justify it, because you’re better than he is! Right? Look at those 1800 posts! Hasn’t every single one been a beacon of truth and light in the darkness and ignorance of ET? But here’s the thing: you’re not better. You’re just another member, just like he is. You insult him, you don’t even use his gender, or anything.
”Honey, don’t talk to it.”
And you wonder why Zip is filled with ‘petty hate?’
You have the audacity, the blind urge, to bravely stand up to the ‘evil, evil administrators’ You insult them. You do it blatantly, not even in PMs. You post it out in the open, right where everyone can see. Brave, you think? No. No. Not brave. You think by posting it out in the open, where everyone can see, is better. After all, post counts means power, right? Wrong.
Your heartfelt ‘apology’ thread was astonishing. I foolishly thought that things were changing. And then, you bitterly complain that no one, not a single person, has apologized to YOU! Oh, the stupidity of it all. Not even your quick little ninja-edit could hide it. A flash of anger and bitterness shines through your cool, sarcastic facade. That’s fine. No amount of arguing, no amount of PMs dissecting each and every post you make to show all the contradictions will change anything. You’ll still be the same. Still the same person, desperately returning to ET again and again. You love it, you NEED it despite all of your other forums, games, and books you’re currently reading / playing. ET. Oh, yes.
But yes, it is petty hate. It’s more than petty hate, for all the reasons listed above. No doubt there will be a cunning and scathingly intellectual insult to reply to this. That’s fine. I can’t change you.
But look on the bright side: You got a comment on your blog that you advertise!
