Creation
and self deprecation is where humor
really lies.


You haven't met me IRL, I am VERY self-deprecating. I think it was that (because despite other's praise, I didn't want it) that made me a mod. But I don't need other deprecating me. I got enough of that from others. As for creating my own humour, I'm paranoid about sharing it over the internet. I have probably what is the only remotely original sitcom idea, and I am still trying to develop it. After all, comedy and humour is quite hard to be consistently funny.

Why would how you are IRL
have ANY effect on you being
a mod? Moreover, what does
any of that really matter?

I'm a boring old fart, in reality.

And as to OTHERS making comments
at your expense, they should be viewed
as an opportunity, not some kind of threat.

See, what's magical about the interwebs,
is that one has a few minutes to consider
their answer. So, unlike in reality, when
a retort takes a few moments to come to
mind, and is already too late, one can
consider what they are saying, and craft
it for maximal effect.

It matters to me, although it obviously doesn't to you. I am very self-deprecating in real life.

And besides, the personality I have as a mod is less relevant, than my actions.

I thought that was your internet persona. I could sense that behind the facade. I just didn't think it was you IRL.

How many people avail themselves of said opportunity? From what I heard, the well-thought out retort has died out at I2, and there's no such thing at zOMG Aspies. While I am guilty of not using time to think of a witty retort, at least I am aware of this, unlike a good chunk of this membership. I am very self-aware.

Right. But, 'tis irrelevant in this world.
In the other one, it IS important. But
that world is not conjoined to this one,
but by the most tenuous of threads.

For the most part true. And your actions have
been much better than your words.

Nah. I pretty much present myself here. :P

Too few, sadly.

Indeed. The liberty to say whatever crap
comes to mind seems to have helped cause
this. Nonetheless, there are a few who can
manage well there.

Ah, you must have missed my posts then.
As always, brilliantly composed, with multiple
meanings (or drunkenly hacked out with none).

Or virtue, depending on your POV. I meant that psychologically speaking. I needed to be in order to guard my thoughts from my father. It varies between a curse and blessing.

Similar. But, 'tis dangerous in that one
spends far too long considering oneself,
and far too little living. Couldn't be
another way though.

Probably. More than can be said of others, though. Not you. Others I know whose introspection value is SFA.

I wouldn't want to break my word to
you, and tell you what you really are. :twisted:


Your contempt of me is already public, and I have never recieved word from you about anything. If this is about that so-called playful and facetious 'coming on to me', then I still do not trust you to be anything more than a bully.

Just to point out, I havent seen an entire post on Intensity of Cal attacking you. Bear that in mind.


And I'll bear that in mind too.

Good :)
