Why do you continually ridicule not only me, but several other people left and right here? I am genuinely curious about this. I know why some others do it, but I haven't a clue as to why you do it.If I am this "Idiot" or "Cretin" you seem to think I am, why even give me the time of day? Are you the type of person that points and laughs at others to make yourself feel better? Were you victimized by a bully in high school?
After, when the day ends, when all is said and done, this is an Internet forum, that's all. You are still you, and I am still me, no matter what is said.
I don't think you really understand what holier than thou means.
Anyway, to address your questions: I don't just mindlessly bash, if I see someone make an idiotic comment, I will then debate it, if said idiocy continues I sometimes call the poster an idiot etc.
Was I bullied? No, not at all, were you? Also, are you some kind of internet board psychiatrist?
I'm well aware that we're both probably very different "offline". However, we are now posting online, so what does it have to do with anything?

Accusing me of trolling here earlier was baiting, you knew I would see it and react to it. It wasn't baiting, but it certainly opened the doors for you. You claim I bait, then why haven't I been banned yet? Oh, thats right, the mods are unfair and biased, I have them all in my back pocket. Riiiiiiiiiiiight.
Nah, not a psychiatrist, if I were, you'd owe me 200 bucks for the first hour.
See, that's the thing, I don't sign on to the net with a different persona, I am not a poser. Not saying you are, just saying that someone who puts on a show, or assumes a different persona than their real life one while online is a poser.

No, that's not really what it means at all.
I didn't accuse you of trolling - I accused you of baiting in the thread that was closed, the same baiting that got me banned.
As for the psychiatrist bit - you'd probably have to learn something outside of being a hotelier first.
A poser? Not at all. It's completely natural to change somewhat when anonymity is a factor.

Well that's how I interpret it. As I said, people interpret it different ways. One could think they are more intelligent than another, therefore better in that sense. One could think they are better because they have more money or a nicer car, yada yada yada.
And why wasn't I reprimanded for "baiting?"
Yeah, all I know is my job, sure. 🙄 See? What you said and my response? THAT'S baiting.
Hmm....Well I guess you got a point there, to a certain degree. I am not near as carefree in real life as I am here. I am still a jovial village idiot, but I handle my business when it needs handling, and act stupid in my down time. Signing on here is a release for me, so I kinda take it to the next level. So I guess I do "change" when online, albeit I am still the same person, just with less restrictions.
When I say "poser", I mean when someone assumes a persona very much if not totally different than their own. Oh the names I could name here....... *bites lip*

You refer to so many people as holier than thou, when you yourself do this whenever people attempt to argue with you. You think that they're not worth your time and you're better, so what're ya doing calling others holier than thou...
