Thank you. Last time I'll chime in on this one, and then I'll leave it be:
* This is all entertainment...with bogs for me it's like the WWE or the Real Housewives of Orange County. It's the off-season, this is not a football thread (read the first like 10 responses...it was a joke thread), and it was a joke. I haven't started work yet, and so I had some extra time and challenged him on all the crazy stuff he says. He obviously hates that, but like I said in my 'mic-drop' (which, thanks to Wooly repeating it so very much, has become I thing lol), I don't give a sh!t anymore. I tip-toed around his bs for far too long while I was a mod, and I wasn't going to do it anymore just because he felt threatened. Like I tried to tell him a million times...if you don't like people challenging what you say, stop saying stupid, over-the-top things.
* I know I look like the douche here, and honestly I don't care. I know the truth, and bogs knows all the middle-school-BFF-gossipy crap he did and all the crap he talked back when I was a mod, and though he chooses to deny it, he knows the truth. So if I come out looking like a dick in all this, BFD. Honestly. I can see why one thinks that, but I know the truth, so it's all good. And having screwed up a few times when I was a mod (NOT an easy job), it gives certain people an opportunity to take more shots. I get that.
* If anyone thinks I'm like this in real life...c'mon man, really? I definitely argue my points strongly, and there are times where I probably lacked tact after a while, but I do that in real life at a bar as well. But other than recently with bogs (and one slip up with STL where I definitely over-reacted to something he said), I have NEVER made it personal first. Go ahead and find a time Wooly. Certain posters will take my nature of debating and immediately cry foul (I'm not saying it's bogs, but yes, bogs is one of them) and get personal, which is stupid.
I've met and hung out with a few people on this site, and they'll tell you I'm not like this in real life. This is a message board and I was just fu*king around. If I took it too far in some people's eyes, I apologize. I can't tell you how many people have told me it's fun to read.
* Wooly's acting like a dick, but it's all good. This had nothing to do with him, but he was part of that BFF clique that bogs started when he was sending me PM's inciting me, and then sending my 'filthy' responses to all his middle-school BFF's. So he's sticking up for Rachel McAdams. I get that, and I think it's admirable. He ignores his own demons while attacking me of course, but it's all good.
So again, I was just effing around. Looking back it was stupid because I didn't think people would get so pissed over it. I know I come off like a dick, but it's not the real me...didn't think others would take such an affront to it. But as God as my witness, I will not continue this bs with bogs and wooly from here on out. Doesn't mean I won't respond to posts by them, but it won't get personal, at least on my end. Bogs and Wooly will say it's b.s., but time will be the judge.
I'll TRY to get the thread back on track again. Kool-aid thoughts by random posters:
