Guest Bruiser Chong Report post Posted June 12, 2003 Why are some of you so gung-ho about trying to win this thing? Is it some sort of 'never won a damn thing in your life' complex? I think it's just sort of an attention thing. Whether it's positive or negative, it's still attention and that's all that matters to some people; probably more than would actually admit it.

Guest Memoirs of an Invisible Chevy Report post Posted June 12, 2003 Constructive criticism? Man, you just whine about it. Tell us how to make it better. Please, how can we cater to you and make your experience here more worthwhile? Is joking around not worthwhile? No one has to cater to what I want. Most people are happy with how things are here, so I'm not going to try and change it. I've questioned a couple things in the past that I thought may help the board and they were ALWAYS met with rejection. Joking around is worthwhile, but hey, why is it so taboo to want to discuss things as well? I don't expect "content" in folders like this because that's not their intentions. I just expect to see it a little more present in other folders that could very well host such discussion, yet doesn't. Can one only be deemed an essential poster if they play the scholarly intellectual type? No, but it sure doesn't hurt to have posts that don't need to be read several times just to figure out what they're trying to say. Once again, caring about spelling and grammar seems to be taboo around here. I don't expect flawless posts, because we're all human. I just think that there's nothing wrong with putting a little effort into your posts so that they don't contain tons of errors. I don't buy into the "it's just a message board so it doesn't matter how many mistakes I make" line because you still come across as a moron when your posts resemble a grammatical corrections worksheet that they hand out in school. Nothing wrong with mistakes, but c'mon, when you see people still unsure of when to use your/you're (stuff everyone learns in elementary school), then it's pretty hard to ignore. I find it amusing that you spoon the corn out of CJ's shit when you're barking about the exact same shit he used to be guilty of. Maybe I'm just a bit off today, but I can't really get the point you're trying to make here. I'm removing vegetables from his shit and making points that he used to make (and basically, still does). Where's the connection there? I find it amusing that some people pair me and CJ up as some evil posters who come to ruin the fun at TSM because we have similar viewpoints. I CAN carry a conversation with people just like him, so you can't use the excuse that the 'atleast he brings the content'. I'm sorry, but I seem to recall people like him simply owning your ass in many threads back at WDI when actual discussion/debate became the focal point. I'd say you bring the content, but sorry to say, the longest posts I've ever seen you make anywhere have been dedicated soley to getting over yourself or your new gimmick user name of the week. I'll say it once, and I'll say it again, if we're too immature for you, or don't reach your standards for internet posting, than why come? I've said it once, and I guess I'll have to say it again--I do like a few aspects about this place that keep me coming back once in a while. I respect a few posters here and there can actually be a good thread once in a while that I like to partake in. I don't disown a board completely because there's always a chance that a thread may pop up there that I'd like to add in and then it'd look stupid for me to pop in after I left the board "forever" or something similar. Unfortunately, I haven't seen anything constructive come from your end in this folder. So enlighten Banky, please. I was the one who actually questioned the point of having this folder about a year ago and it fell on deaf ears and posts that bashed me for just complaining, despite me bringing up several valid points to back my feelings. And even though many of you hated the idea of it, I did actually feel that eliminating post counts would cut down on the amount of useless posts and perhaps, allow for some decent threads to become more evident. As for enlightening you, Banky, I feel that it's a lost cause, as I don't think anyone really has that much free time on their hands. I don't really mind you over at WDI, but here, you seem to see yourself as something special. Maybe it's because of the many people who buy into your gimmicks or whatnot, but whatever it is, you come off as much more of an elitest over here than I ever could, whether it's all just an act/gimmick of yours or not. Boy, you have me pegged. Just like Crucifixio Jones, another guy who enjoys attention as much as me. Accept you never crawled up his ass, did you? The thing about you, and the other anal-retentive 18 year old know-it-alls is that it is okay to not take yourselves so damn seriously all of the time. Why write up a manifesto like this? Are you trying to belittle me? Are you trying to prove a point? If so, what point are you trying to prove? That I'm a fucking idiot? That I'm lazy because I don't re-read my posts before I post them? I' not exactly applying for a job, ro sending an important memo to anyone, so whats the need to re-check my posts? Fuck, I don't even read them over after I post them. I don't care because at the end of the day, this all means shit. Why sweat the little things? Do you even know me? Do you actually keep close tabs on my internet posting tendencies? Do you? Why exactly do I disgust you? Why do I draw your ire so that you feel compelled to knock me down? And must you bring back the ONE time CJ owned me about 2 years ago at the WDI. Has it happened since? if so, show me. Please. I find your entire analysis of Banky quite humorous because you don't get it. People who enjoy what Banky does understands he is full of shit, but they don't frown down upon the actual poster. Y'dig? I am not Banky. I am not any of my actual posting identities. Don't be a condescending prick by saying no one has the time in the world to enlighten me. If you're busting my balls, thats great, I applaud you, but if you TRULY feel that way, try actually talking to me. You might actually be surprised to hear I can be a decent guy, with fairly insightful commentaries on life, wrestling, music, movies, news, or whatever. Don't strut around this place with a fucking chip on your shoulder thinking your better than anyone - it'll get you nowhere. So again, I ask you, enlighten me with some actual criticism...I think I can handle it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Bruiser Chong Report post Posted June 12, 2003 I don't overanalyze my own posts, I just think about what I'm typing up as I do them. If you think I'm sitting around here looking for errors all over my posts, you're wrong. No, I don't know you, I know your internet personalities and guess what? That's all I have to know. I'm sure in "real life" you're a good guy and we probably share many similar interests. However, most people don't come on message boards to deal with the real people. I only have to know you as who you post as. There's nothing wrong with getting to know people as they actually are, but the fact remains that we are all still basically faceless strangers to each other and the "you don't know the real me" card doesn't apply to message boards. You don't come here to be evaluated as you are in real life; you're evaluated as the person you post as. So please don't come off with the "you don't really know me" schtick, because honestly, that's not what I'm here to do. I only "know" you as the gimmick names you have and frankly, that's all you have to go by on message boards. People on boards don't have to know the real you, that's what the outside world is for. Look, I'm not trying to start 11 pages of us going back and forth at each other, so I've basically said all I have to say on the matter in these two posts. Like I said, I'm sure you're not a bad guy in reality, but once again, your true self isn't what's being judged when you come onto a message board full of faceless strangers that you'll probably never meet, am I right? Now let's allow this thread to get back to its original purpose, shall we? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Mik at Cornell Report post Posted June 13, 2003 Bob should have to face SKBF I agree with this. Or isn't it now Michael Joel Benoit? He had to change his name after Kotz punked him like a little bitch. I think Barron fears (or hopes for?) this because he knows no one is as annoying as SKBF and he would take a second round exit.
