If I may- and yes, it's pathetic I am still reading this thread, but hey, I'm enjoying it and my kids are in the bath so I'm just sitting around waiting for them to finish playing so I have some time....and fuck it, why defend it...I like neogaf and I find it entertaining...does that make me 12? Could be...but your mom sure didn't think I was 12 when I fucked her with a pickle last nite while forcing her to call me 'CAPTAIN KIRK!".....yeah! Burn! BURN!....ahem...yeah....
Whatever
but:
a- the 'mom joke' thing- if you read the thread- was kind of me intentionally taking the bait based on comments before my post about how I would post a mom joke. I didn't pull a mom joke out because I thought that was a snappy, clever retort. I did it cause it was in the context of the insults and defenses that had been hurled my way.
b- I never said I didn't care about defending myself. I don't think it makes me a 'smaller man' cause I told someone who had insulted me to go fuck themselves. Good for you for being ultra cool and mature. Whatever. My point was I didn't care about how I was perceived as long as I was doing stuff that felt honest and true to me. There's a big difference- for me- between not caring how I am perceived but still caring enough to tell someone who had insulted me to go fuck themselves.
I am professional and respectful of those who deserve said respect. When I work with folks- for the most part- I am very professional and respectful of the time and talent they bring to the table.
This is the internet. It's fun to be over the top on here. Difference is, I do it with my real fucking name. More than I can say for others who hide behind clever C-B Radio era handles....
Happy Thanksgiving ya'll....even those who don't care for me, seriously: have a safe, happy holiday. This is just all in fun for me and I dig hanging out with passionate gamers. Like me, don't like me, either way: HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
