What is 'trolling'?

And, see, this is why you've rubbed me the wrong way, too. I feel like you act like this sincere guy offering your expertise, but the second someone pisses you off, it's double-barrels about how much they suck at your job.

I admit that I could be reading it wrong. That you are a sincere guy offering your expertise. But you post what you posted to Daemon, to Songbird, to me, to a college "scribbler," start to doubt the sincerity.

I know, I know. We all threw the first punch. But the guy who punches back always gets the technical. But besides, it bothers me that you would think that about people, in light of the persona you cultivate 99 percent of the time.

 

I meant the Spider Man response.

Look, I'm trying to be sincere here. If you want to keep being the toughest tough guy on the planet, well, I tried.

Here's a writing tip, offered sincerely: When you use "but" 26 times in 14 sentences, it means you haven't thought through what you're trying to say and your structure sucks.

 

You're just a dick.

I'm at peace with that.

I tried.

 

You two would probably be lovers if you stripped off your anonymous personas and got cozy.

 

Can we do a Narcissistic Personality Disorder thread next?
Whitman will be happy, since we all get to talk about him again.

 

I wouldn't be fucking tender about it, I can tell you that much.

 

I just view all threads like this as pleas for love.

 

Elliotte, I say this with no rancor. But the "anonymous message board, why should you care" thing gets old, too. Words matter. A lot of people use that here in the aftermath of cutting a little too deep.

 

And I see what you say there, too. You have seen the deep end, and it was deep.
