I really don't want to get into another flame-war but, really, there plainly IS a difference between what I suppose you're suggesting to be MY "narcissism" and the pseudo-Zen narcissism of the /b/board "koan"-merchants, with their "I'll just leave this here" and so on.
It's something I've noticed very frequently here and on CH. There's a certain type of "cool, ironical" poster who considers himself far, far TOO "cool and ironical" to ever allow himself to be drawn into DIALOGUE about whatever it is he's posted. His idea is just that he should be silently admired.
Whether I believe I should be admired or not, I think it's pretty obvious that what I expect and require from other people certainly isn't SILENCE. I think that that at least puts me in a better, more decent, more human class of egotists than a large number of the blasé, supercilious habitués of the Internet who visit boards like this one.
