You were trying to insult me and you instead insulted everyone else who has ever interacted and or talked to me, Lace. And again - since you're the only one who actually even sees a cult of personality built around me (or that I'm trying to build one - what the fuck would I even do with it, dude?) it really does seem like you're way more concerned with it than I've ever been.
Like, look: If you're approaching a forum as if it's a thing you can... "win" or whatever, that's weird. The whole point is to have fun bullshitting with each other over the things we like (and dislike). If you're catching feelings because other people pay attention to me and I pay attention back, or because I disagree with your opinion on a thing, that's not my fault man. That's on you. And if you think my having fun talking with the group (and them yapping back) about all manner of meaningless star fights bullshit is being done to serve some weird ulterior motive - that says more about how you see this place than it does about how I use it.
You blew a whistle and a whole bunch of sensitive boys lined up behind you, and it was weird.
You made the thread weird, Lacey.
Yeah, there's people here going back like 15 years or whatever. Naturally people who have been around for awhile are going to recognize their personalities and respond/react accordingly.
