>It's odd how I do feel impelled to respond to this stuff, though, even though I'm really fully aware that it's almost certainly just the same one or two little narcissistic show-offs who feel that I'm taking the spotlight away from them trotting out the same old insults for the umpteenth time.
It's kinda funny how the only faults you find in others are the ones that you yourself possess most prominently. Also, you think that we respond to you because you're taking the spotlight away from us insulting you? I'll leave you a moment to consider that circular logic.
Okay, now that you're done contriving an irrational explanation for why people respond negatively to your destructive presence, I'll give you a little more practice for the doublethink you use to tell yourself that you are appreciated here, since it's clear you think your posts all have some social, intellectual, or moral merit. People respond negatively to your posts because you diminish the enjoyment they get from these sites. You seem to think that people actually want to read your solipsistic rants about how something someone mentioned reminded you of something else, which in turn gave you inspiration to share with us a long analysis of god-knows-what. These long non sequiturs, due to the immense space they invariable take up, always distract from the conversation at hand, contributing nothing but an attempt at inflating your already extravagant ego, as you sit hoping that someone will tell you that your blithering is actually deeply insightful or meaningful. Your complete indifference to the fact that people were actually having a conversation completely unrelated to your tirade is why people come to hate you.
Besides lectures that no one wants to hear, we also have to endure equally long diatribes about how you're better than anyone criticizing you, which, ironically, always include accusations of narcissism and immaturity. No criticism can go unanswered, as you seem completely unable to walk away from any discussion about you that doesn't consist of praise, which it never does. You apparently need to excuse yourself of or deflect any criticism of you that would imply that you are not the "nice guy" that you think you are.
So no, the flak you get from posting in the Crackyverse is not because we're all envious of your obvious superiority: it's because your presence is incredibly destructive, as you make it a tremendous struggle to read the original conversations that you bury under a mountain of love-letters to your ego. You keep telling us and yourself that you have received numerous statements of praise and appreciation in the past, but even if this dubious claim is true, look around you: no one wants to put up with your bullshit anymore. The fact that you are wholly indifferent to everyone around you telling you that your input isn't appreciated, and the fact that you cannot acknowledge any related criticism of your callous and self-absorbed behavior, makes it very clear that you've been asked to leave any social or academic congregations that you've joined in your life, or been excluded until you stopped showing up of your own accord. And that, of course, is why WE have to deal with your infantile behavior: you can get away with it here, because no amount of us asking you to leave will get through to you in this medium. You can always just tell yourself that there are people silently appreciating your brilliant insights, and that your detractors are a small, jealous minority, and it's no coincidence that you choose to spend your time on boards that move slowly and have little moderation: you can interrupt as big a portion of conversations as you want, and the user base can do nothing about it.
But of course, your damaged psyche will never allow you to openly admit what you're doing, even if everyone who is unwillingly exposed to your pathetic life can deduce it very quickly. And when everyone makes it clear you're not welcome, you always fall back on informing us how everyone here is below you, while promising to leave, wondering aloud as to why you come here. Despite having said you'll leave hundreds of times, you never do, because you so desperately need the attention, regardless of whether it's negative or positive, because even insults are better than getting off the internet and facing a life where no one wants even the slightest thing to do with you. God knows why you need the attention, but my guess is your parents severely neglected you. Regardless, you come here and shit on any thread you feel like, insulting anyone and everyone that doesn't lavish you with the praise you think you deserve, and persist in your destructive presence no matter how much it's made clear that you aren't welcome or appreciated here, and THAT is genuine narcissism. Your posts are responded to with negativity because you are trash; genuine human garbage. But I think, deep down, you know that, which is why you'll never stop doing what you're doing. I just thought I should point out that everyone here sees through you, and you are no more welcome here than you were in all the places you've been throughout your life where people have universally rejected you. Please get your attention somewhere else.
