I don't ALWAYS go into over the top attack mode, believe it or not.
I'll admit that I can definitely go a bit far over stupid little shit now and then if I'm in a particularly bad mood and just want to argue with someone and get the anger out.
But on the other hand, sometimes it's just funny to push it up to 11. And sometimes I really do find things to be that offensive and worthy of that level of venom on my part. Arkat's behavior definitely falls into the latter category for me.
Meh, I just see it as you doing the same thing you whine about others doing, something along the line of "basic lack of faith in humanity" that you said is why you use the frowny face so often, being a habit you started on another forum. Don't engage in the behaviour you deplore in others.
Quote:See, it's not that he paid TP for items. No one gives two shits about that at all. And it's about a lot more than making a second account, too. It's the way that he used that second account to avoid the consequences of having to have his name attached to attacking anyone.
http://www.ddovault.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1315514217/34#34In case you missed that link earlier, this is the point where I realized that Arkat was just flat-out offensively awful about this shit. He decides to puff up and 'call out' Yaztromo, who is a rand that isn't really part of this community at all... and the moment that Yaztromo actually shows up, Arkat tucks his tail and swaps over to his Scrotie account.
Combine that with the fact that he only admitted it because he was trying to "Get ahead of the story" and he's trying this pathetic spin doctor horseshit regarding his control of the narrative and I'm just not inclined to let it go at all. Anyone who's that obsessed with their image and won't actually admit their wrongdoing needs to have their nose rubbed in it until they actually man up and take ownership of their shitty behavior, or they'll just do the exact same thing again.
No, I get it. Maybe you are just assuming that is what his motives were. Yea, it can look douchy, but I think he thought it would be a clever way to troll, and didn't think far enough ahead. Coming clean used to be something that would balance out douchy behaviour, but I get that in todays world, it just looks like spin doctoring.
You called him on it. He doesn't agree with your assessment of his intentions, but does with how it appeared. Move on.
As for not caring what others think about you, even on a forum, I call bullshit on anyone who says they don't care. I would prefer to be thought of as someone at least likeable and maybe even reasonably cool, at least by the majority. I would also like to think that when I act douchy or be dumb that others would look at my history and give me a break occasionally. I expect some ribbing about it, and as long as it is good natured, it is all good.
