Where do you see yourself in the GDF pecking order?

Some people mistake popularity for infamy. Others see themselves as debaters extraordinaire even when they prove otherwise.

Do you see yourself as well liked? Intellectual? The sh*tdisturber? The funny guy?

I am just interested to see how people think they are viewed here, and how they believe they are presenting themselves.

Well here's how I see myself.
I think I am not actually hated except maybe by people I don't mind to be hated by. I am not the best debator but I think I can finish an arguement withzout having to kill myself of shame. Then again I am always right which makes it easier, I guess. I'd say I am one of the more Off-Topic people here, but to serious for the OTF itself. If there is a topic I am interested ikn I can and do argue serious aboot it but lots of times I like to fool around more. I think most people I enjoy talking to visit primarily the GDF and I guess I am alright liked, not the most loved but not the most hated either. Oh and I think that my post has no structure at all.

That should be your signature. Possibly your epitaph too; it's that damn good.

In the GF I'm not a good debater at all, I just come out there when no ones in the RF where I know much about comparative religions, and in there I am a great debater, because that is where my knowledge is along with some topics in the PF.....Otherwise, I just come out to the GF too see what's going on....I'm not an avid news watcher, which I'm sure everyone knows, but It's interesting...I do read certain articles....The GF is the last place I go, when nothings going on in the RF or PF, I generally never visit the OTF.....

Thank you for the compliment, but I hope very much that I won't need it that soon.

I'll admit I go about as Off-Topic in the GDF as anyone else...but never, ever, to the level of the OTF (which is good, considering that's the name of the forum).

The only other forum I post in is the Movie Stars and Celebrities forum. Don't ask me why, but I make about 10 posts a day in that one. Whole different crowd over there.

I've noticed that in every forum there's a small group that tends to mainly post there. I really came to notice it when I started modding the VG forum and noticed that I didn't really know half the posters there...

Anyway, I'd like to think that I'm fairly respected and known here, though honestly, I couldn't care less.

I have no idea of how I come across, I know how I'd like to come across but that might be a daydream of some sorts, I also do not have the pretention to guess about how other people see me and my actions.

They see what they see wether or not what they see is true? That is something not even I can't tell them.

Nah just felt like saying something insightful

In the pecking order I am the one who sporadically appears and adds little or nothing to the debate.

<----- Doesn't know and doesn't care.....Mickey Mouse's underwear.

How I'm viewed is up to the person looking at me. To some people, I'm a gay crusader who makes no valid points. There are others that agree with me. There are some who think I'm an ******* for no good reason, and then there are some who think I'm an ******* for a good reason. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

In any case, I'm just being myself.

As for me I don't really know how people feel about my posting. I would take a stab at it being somewhere in the moderate area. I'm sure there are a few who roll their eyes everytime I post.

No one is higher than the almighty "Pic"...forget the rest.

A "door" just closed in my house. Gotta find out who did it. I'll be back in a few.

Dont know, dont care, I rarely debate anything in here because the egos overtake every single thread and then it becomes pointless anyway.

Indifferent to a certain extent.

I dont really get into "KMC's Boiling Points" (but I like to watch)

Bit silly to determine your own place in the order of things... Why not have everyone else give a list of the top ten or something?

Wouldn't mind seeing if I appear (doubt it though).

Now..Whirly. Be nice. We don't want to Pic or start a fight. I'm not trying to dodge the topic or anything. I just want people to stick to being graceful and artful in this thread when responding. Anyway..I believe its time for me to "lance" my way out of this argument, I don't want to get myself or anyone else in trouble...

No, but I like KIDD from Knight Rider.

I have no idea how i'm seen... but morbid curiosity makes me wonder...

Hmmm, I suspect I am not terribly high on the pecking order, and as such I don't really have any enemies, or anybody that comes seeking me just to object to anything I type.

I also like to think I don't rub people up the wrong way, presenting an open mind and reasonable front and all. Bah hah, being in the background isn't so bad. Still, feel free to tell me I'm wrong, if I am.

I don't really have any enemies either. I also like to think I don't rub people up the wrong way

Yes, my "malady" is penis envy.

Because the two I named--arrogant bastards that they be--had such massive genitalia that my conservative, anti-liberal bits and pieces shriveled in terror at the thought of angering them. I cowered in fear at the NOTION of them responding to threads while they were in the nude.

And in my fear was born hatred, envy, and malice.

Yes and no. Ou Be Low hoo doesn't have an established edifice where one may worship him, but he does happen to have an area that could be described as his own.

Click and behold the splendor that is Ou Be Low hoo's domain.

Wow! The world - bar KMC - is his oyster! His power is almost absolute!

I'm beginning to realise how he affected you so completely.

Oh, here's a star for originality...*. KidRock would be proud of you.

Sock

Pooper

At the beginning I was more of a Xmener forumer (is that even a word) then gradually got sucked into the OTF. I peek into the GDF everyonce in a while and im actually starting to go to it more lately. I'm trying to show more of my Intamallectual side

On the Forum side I dont really know how people percieve me, I kinda dont really care. Its not like I know anyone here in real life so why should it bother you.

Originally posted by Ya Krunk'd Floo

That indeed was the point I was trying to make. Keep your star for yourself--YOU are the big boy who figured it out all by himself.

Like Jesus before him, perhaps Ou Be Low hoo considers that the common man/woman/boy/girl/shit needs him the most...After all, you seem to be searching for him.

Look deep into your stool, FeceMan. Perhaps he is that indigestible piece of corn...Indestructable and perfect, yet willing to reside where others fear to tread.

Maybe you should start a cult or something. Then there could be religious persecutions and it would be all messy and zany and more people might wander down to the religion forum.

You are living in an "illusion of the self". There is no need for ego, or to see yourself as something or someone. Self-identification creates conflict in the world.

Believing that what you're saying is true is also a form of egotism when it is at the expense of another person's line of questioning. Highlighting your difference of opinion is also a means to creating a form of self-identification. You are basically telling KharmaDog, "Look at me! What you are doing is wrong! I am right! Listen to what I say!".

You are right, to argue is also egotistical; that's why silence is golden.

It creates selfishness, because it promotes an importance of yourself above other people.

It also promotes advancement and change - positives. Self is always going to be a driving force it's hard wired in and called the "Survival instinct", Debate forums are about putting you're point across and engaging in conflict with a small c, as a lawyer would in a court room. The best philosophers from Socrates to Bacon to Feynman had extremely large egos. This is not even a shadow of egos as great as that or debates as complex, but for good interesting debaters all sorts of egos large and small are needed. If people were nice to each other on here all the time I doubt most people would come on.

"I think, therefore I am" - Descartes

This kind of neutralizes the fundamentalist Buddhist belief in 'no self'.

We should save our little discussions for the philosophy forum, though...

Believe that if you want to suffer in life, my friend. The path to enlightenment (and I speak from experience) is selflessness and compassion.

The key is balance, not the extremes like ego and altruism, but in between - the golden middle way.

I think you should take your own advice. Sit down, shut up, lead by example, and we'll see how many people follow you.

I know you are now a reformed Budhist, but I believe that the world is a big enough place that there are sometimes more than one answer to a single question. "How to be happy" or "How to lead your life" is one of those questions, and as a budhizt you cannot resolve that question for 6 billion people with one answer.

Because you believe it, does not make it right.

Did I say that Buddhism is the one and only way? There are many ways to live a good life, but the way of the ego trip is not one. It is not my intention to force my philosophy onto other people, but to give advice...that's all.

Appologies if I offended anyone. And please remember, Buddhists are human also.
