Just giving you a taste of your own medicine
Fortunately you've made it cherry flavored so it goes down easy.

Not disagreeing with your opinion but these types of posts are the reason one may think he is overrated.

By that logic, one could never object to someone being called "overrated" without making them more overrated.

True. But I think someone brought up the point earlier in this thread that some guys on this site post something and people will jump to praise that particular poster solely because of who that poster is. That's what I was getting at and what your post reminded me of.

I agree that that happens. But let me be clear: I save my obsequiousness and flattery for people who can help me in real life, lol

As OMM himself acknowledged, it's less to do with what he posts (which is usually well done) and more to do with the OMM fan club.

Damn it, I just remembered we should have had a '2013 brown noser' award. Next year!

Pretty much me. I'm lame and have nothing to add anymore. Which is why I've died off.
In fact I've never added much. Ever.
So it should be landslide.

To Greyhammer: you are right. But I posted that for two reasons.
a). it's intellectually correct, yes, but more because
b). I sensed, rightly or wrongly that the thread was about to go bad at that time {folks like dshans and I and once Neutered try to sense the need for a softening of things, not in the sense that I would take a lot of crap, but that some of the guys might start sniping at one another in less than a good natured way.} For whatever the reason, the thread righted itself and most of the posters had a bit of fun lightening it up.
But in reality, the actual social dynamic of this voting is not as innocent as one might like. People weren't exactly kidding when they laid this mantle on GBDomer last year, and they're not really kidding this year. Well, so be it, but we shouldn't think that this one is simple goofy fun.
I didn't vote last year [and sure as hell wouldn't have voted for GBDomer, he was a great poster and should have posted more THIS year], and I didn't vote this year either. This is the only poll which has an "edge" to it, and I wouldn't mind [after graciously accepting the "compliment"] seeing it go away from IE, except as an open IE phony mudslinging discussion. THAT is where the fun is.
I realize that this is like a turd in a punchbowl, but you probably won't see the post over-rated at least.

In that case, you weren't even nominated for this category. Good job

? I'm the guy that initially nominated him, so I don't see how that's brown nosing. Also I find this pretty funny from a guy who thought the "all IE" category wasn't enough and wanted to make a "have a beer" thread so he could hand out compliments and flattery to more site regulars. Regardless, it's too bad you probably won't be around to nominate me next year.

I second the motion that we eliminate this award after this year.
And I also request all votes for this award. This year. Then please message me you voted for me, so I can thank you, properly.

2014 IE self deprecating poster of the year. I swear every one of your posts is about how terrible you are. You don't need to be fish'n for reps, bad look.

Take that hilarious joke to the "Most Likely to Get Banned" thread. That discussion happened over there.

Can we replace this award with "Ugliest WAG"? I'm pretty sure I've got that one locked up

I'm not voting because I don't consider any of the nominated posters overrated, but is Ironman seriously garnering votes? Whoever voted for him, you are like the annoying guy in the barroom argument who insists that Michael Jordan or X Hall of Fame legend was overrated just to be provocative.

No, Johnny is serious. And honest. He really is that terrible. Take it from me, I know.

Don't get your undies in a bundle and become aggressive, it just reminded me that I forgot to mention this (and 2013 'best bump') when the IE's started.
You'll be OK, you funny guy, you!

Aw, I beat you at your own game again and now your trying to laugh it off. It's fine, though again ironic that someone who is so "against the grain" is also so desperate to save face. As to getting my "undies in a bunch", I'm not the one sending snide you PM's and changing your user-title like an obsessive teenage girl.
