Well, aside from "hipster", you're on the right track, and I'm curious what you want me to say about it?

this is the most idiotic thread I've ever read.

The OP should shoot himself so he stops being so thin-skinned about thin-skins.

I look forward to the OP's rebuttal. Such magnificence is difficult for the thin-skinned to understand...not like you even tried =\

Thin skinned projection. You try to project your own weaknesses onto other people to conceal your thin skin. The best thing we can do with your kind is to point out more weaknesses that you can try to project, until you spend so much time trying to psychoanalyze new people you meet that you don't have time to talk to anyone else. As such, you feel a need to comment when nobody cares, you seem overly impressed with your own opinion, and you likely have poor hygiene, since countless people have intimated that you can tell such a thing over the internet.

Typical thin skin response.

Guessing the irony of the underlined goes over your head.

Actually, there is no irony, because you're so thin skinned you took all this seriously, posted here, and cried like a baby about the results.

Any perceived irony is actually the humor you missed out on bashing on your skull, kind of like the floor did when you were a baby.

Oh that was 'humor' you were attempting. Sorry that your high class attempt at petty insult comedy came off more desperate than witty. You should grow some thicker skin because you seem pretty mad. Maybe it has something to do with that blog website you have that has a whopping 2 followers.

Continue on with your humor, I'm sure it appeals to other like minded individuals populating the internets that have equally low standards.

Specific Example question:

I knew this guy who was a stay at home dad. This guy spent a ton of time on the internet blogging, posting, and gaming. Time that could have been used to spend with his toddler son. I liked this guy, a lot. So, I felt like an intervention was needed when he asked me what I thought about his idea of getting his pre-school aged child into gaming.

I told him that instead of spending a huge chunk of his day on the computer, while his wife was working hard to provide for their family, that he should spend that time:
1) working towards a goal that ended with him being gainfully employed. Your wife should not be left to carry the financial burden alone.
2) save his computer time until after his kid was asleep (the time spent interacting with strangers on the internet can and should be spent with his kid)
3) make damn sure he spent more time with his wife and kid than he did with his games and internet sites
4) kids need to be outside. running, playing, using their imaginations etc. rather than letting the tv and computers babysit them while their parents invest their time into anon. internet forums/games/etc.

I mean, I guess I was kind of mean when I told him he was a crappy dad. I could have left out the part about how his wife was eventually going to get tired of her husband putting more time and energy into his internet activities than their own child.

Anywho, needless to say, he got really_really mad at me after this conversation. I didn't know how I should respond. He was ready to fight, almost (but he's a really scrawny stereotypical nerd who never threw, or took, a punch in his life). So, I told him that if he didn't want my honest opinion, that he shouldn't have asked.

Maybe he was being sensitive? How should I have responded? If he wasn't being sensitive, then where is the line between "thin skinned bitch" and legitimately upset?
