I lurked on TL.net forabout 2 years then I made an acc and joined the TL EVE corp. It's a blast. There's some really interesting people on tl.net and the site itself is amazing. Like you I haven't played sc in a long time. I'll take a peek at sc2 but probably stay a spectator since the community here is awesome. Whether it's blowing up space ships with the corpies or fanatically cheering and discussing games on kona's channel.

me <3 u long time tl.net

Yeah TL.net is a pretty baller place.

I do just want to comment that your use of the internet involves all things that are extremely boring (except TL!). The internet is one of mankind's greatest inventions ever and it has unlimited possibilities. I'd say its a shame you only use it for extremely bland things (bland in my opinion anyway).

Then again I'm a type B personality to the ultra extreme so I may be a lot different.

TL;DR: TL.net is by far the best because it isnt full of carebears.

Psychiatry is a respected profession. It requires a college degree and years of experience to do well. Where is your office? I'd like to stop by.

Now that you've stopped lurking, it's time to form your own tl.net personality ^^


precisely

Sarcasm is a simple method. It makes you seem intelligent, or at least more intelligent than the person you are directing the sarcasm to. It allows you to shrug off the actual content of the post without having to respond directly. You make good use of sarcasm here, making you like every other typical asshole on the internet. Before you try again, I am not pretending that I am not one either.


Sorry. Here's where my lack of experience on posting shit on the internet reveals itself.

1.I was commending the people of TL for their ability to exude personality on the internet.
2. You tell me I have an inferiority complex for applauding ppl for doing that, and not doing it myself.
3. I tell you sarcastically to stop being a living room psychiatrist.
4.You tell me my sarcasm is just me trying to avoid confrontation. And that I'm an asshole.
5. I lay what just happened out for you.

1. You say that you do not enjoy StarCraft, have no desire to play StarCraft 2, and that you do NOT post on forums, make jokes, make friends.
2. Yet, you also say that you have followed TL for years.
3. This leads me to assume that you prefer to be an observer rather than a contributor. Not much of an assumption, since it is exactly what you said.
4. When you see people who observe and do not feel the urge to contribute, it logically leads you to conclude that the person in question does not deem his own opinion valuable to the conversation at hand.
5. Hence, this leads to the deduction that you have an inferiority complex, with potential social awkwardness.
6. I say this by starting my sentence with "I feel..." and my addendum starts with "with potential..." Notice how neither is conclusive, and neither claims any sort of educated authority over the issue - it's an opinion, and whether or not you choose to retaliate is your choice. Maybe you are not familiar with opinions, being an observer that does not like to share. Maybe you will think that the previous statement is another pseudo-psychiatric attack on your e-persona that you must defend.
7. Your counter of sarcasm shows hostility due to the subject matter. You don't have to be a psychiatrist to know what hostility as a response to judgment insinuates.

EDIT: There can be no showmatch since he does not play SC.
Peace~

LOL!

I donno. Really? You think you're fucking smart?

Say! How about you read my first post again, and if you're going to analyze me by what I wrote, then you may as well actually READ what I wrote. LOL. I never said I didn't enjoy starcraft.

Dude..... you're fucking taking this way too seriously. Fine, you're smarter than me. You're cooler than me cuz ya have more "e-friends." On-line you tell the truth. It's brutally honest. When you see a guy like me with an inferiority complex you gotta point it out!

It's like poker though. Act strong, you're holding something weak.

Buddy, for future ref. don't point out other ppl's flaws. I'm sure you have plenty of your own.

THANKS

Classic response.

Incredulous LOL! -> Counter-judgment instead of invalidation of my argument -> Trying to say that not playing SC is "enjoying" SC -> Fake submission to my superiority -> Moral lesson about how just because I am imperfect, I can't point out the imperfections of others.

You think every person who criticizes another does so under the impression that they themselves are flawless, superior, perfect? You think this is about having "e-friends" or being "cool"? You think it's about me pointing out your flaws in order to embarrass you? At least try to take things deeper than face value.

YOU'RE WELCOME

Fanatacist:

There is no argument. If you think you are "winning" the argument that I have an inferiority complex, then you're retarded. I have lived with myself for 22 years, and I cannot say for SURE that I have an inferiority complex. You tell me, after reading ONE of my online posts, that I have an inferiority complex.

THAT is something I think is ridiculous. And that is precisely what I think is wrong with the internet.

There are many reasons for observing, rather than contributing. Surely, some ppl who feel "inferior" will not contribute. Since you love "logic," all cats love string does not mean all string love cats.

So what are you criticizing me for? Explain yourself.

There was no argument until you decided to ignore my advice of "Go out and post," simply because I tried to characterize, what in my opinion, was the underlying reason for your lack of involvement in a website you have been following for years. I already said, "You think it's about me pointing out your flaws in order to embarrass you?" Clearly your answer is yes, and you once again read things and go with your gut response without thinking about what has been said. I can tell you many things, but if I told you that in my opinion you were homosexual and a die-hard astrologist due to your post, you would probably ignore me and laugh it off. But when I say something that in my opinion makes sense, you respond with hostility. Once again that can only mean one thing.

So the problem with the internet is there are opinions that you disagree with, that you think are uninformed and false in YOUR opinion? Yea, I can see how a forum would be if you were to create one.

Your analogy makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, but you do have a point that there could be other reasons for observing and following a community without contribution. Although you fail to list your specific reason, I will list a few; when scientists study a group, in order to make impartial observations and deductions, they do not enter the group themselves; when people are in the presence of superiors or those that are wiser, they tend to listen instead of talk, because they are inexperienced in the current topic; people who simply do not have an opinion on the matter also observe as opposed to making an ass of themselves... There are others as well, although I am hard-pressed to find one that is likely to apply to you better than my first suggestion. Please enlighten me?

You're ignoring the fact that I am now burdened with the reputation of being the joker, when in fact I have very serious and important things to say, like the discussion in this blog. Do you know how that feels? DO YA?

Well, the problem is that the serious things you have to say are absurd.

I say you just accept your role as forum troll and embrace the opportunities it brings.

Actually I have the exact opposite problem. I'm taken very seriously when I'm only joking.
