In this thread, people acting as they're better than us because we have no patience for a self important asshat who got butthurt.It's almost as if some of you people live for threads like these...
I don't care if this sounds weird, but it honestly does make me feel sick sometimes..
Best of luck finding that, a niche is always nice to have. There's some good stuff around these parts, depending on what yer looking for.maybe I'll find my niche yet ...
It's called schadenfreude. The guy makes an ass out of himself because of his ego and complex, why wouldn't we pick on the idiot? Rep has nothing to do with it. He's new, he's unknown, he has nothing interesting to offer, so when he does something stupid like this, there's nothing that redeems him, so why not cut out the cancer? Rep has nothing to do with it.Please, a moment of silence for Bulmassj4...
Another victim of the rep-system (aka "Big-fish/little-fish system") has been claimed...
... Okay, Maaaayybe he brought it on himself, but still, shame on you for kicking him when he's down...
You wanna know the easiest way to tell who're the rotten apples in a forum?
Throw down a fresh carcass (Bulmassj4) and watch how many vultures come to eagerly pick at it...
Oh boy... Yes, overblown ego is the secret to gathering good reputation because everyone here is stupid enough to think that dickheads are people that have to be admired. Is it just me, or did he (unintentionally, I suspect, considering what he wrote in other posts, but who knows...) pretty much insult the collective intelligence of the community?Sadly that's true.. It works the other way around..
Getting rep doesn't make people grow a giant ego..
It's having a giant ego which magically accumulates rep to that person..
Just look around at who has rep.. It makes perfect sense.. (With the exception of a few humble members who gained rep from simply being popular.)
If we could all be thick-headed douchebags who pick on anyone we don't like and pretend that our actions are justified and our words be true, when in reality we're just spouting opinions and being picky, we would all have big rep-bars and the forum would unite as a whole, becoming the most harmonious community ever to form on the planet.
You're certainly a pain in the ass at times, that's for sure...Are you kidding? I'm told on repeated occasions that I'm an egotistical douchebag.
Do you want to know why? Because on every forum, the basic laws of the community is law of the jungle and law of the pack. We can pretend to be civilized and stuff, but people are territorial bastards by nature. People who have been here for a while have already established their position on the forum and generally stand above the newcomers, being able to get away with more shit than newbies. It's not the rep that matters, it's the fact that they've been around for a while and became a part of the pack, so others will stand with them more often than not, unless they do something stupid. Rep has nothing to do with it, and I suspect that in many cases they have such a high rep level because they've been around for so long that even if they got positive rep only once in a while, it still adds up to a high number.This guy gets it..
But yeah, I understand there are people who get rep from actually EARNING it... But from what I've seen... Iunno.. It just seems like the more popular the person is, the more egotistical they are.. I'm not saying that out of spite, that's what I've SEEN from being on here...
There are high-rep people I've seen act more childish than a lurker, and they get away with it because of that rep.. Disagree with me? Then please explain why high-rep people get to act like douchebags, but when a low-rep person/lurker does it, everyone jumps down their neck..
Forums thrive on drama. Whenever someone starts it, people flock to it out of curiosity, boredom or simply on a whim. Say what you want, it's things out of the norm like this that spice up forum life and make it interesting. As for why you're "eating it", you're making a drama queen out of yourself as well by defending the "poor low rep newbies" from "egotistical high rep bastards", showing how ignorant you are in the process. Nice job, jackass. Oh, and a word of advice. If you're so delicate that you can't stand it, don't read it. You really don't have to.It's almost as if some of you people live for threads like these...

EDIT: W-wait a minute.. *looks around* ...
This is another form of baiting, isn't it?... ... Damn.. It all makes sense now.. I better stop posting on here..
Oh well, at least I can take solice in the fact that I wasn't the only one who got baited.. But apparently I ate the most of it..
Another lesson learned.

I don't think it's that we let them get away with stuff, so much as understanding the person better. Say a stranger walks up to you and punches you in the gut, that guy's horrible and someone you'll hate. Say your somewhat dickish but generally good friend comes up and punches you in the gut, you're not going to think that he's horrible and someone you hate.We can pretend to be civilized and stuff, but people are territorial bastards by nature.

Quick! Go get M! Maybe she'll know what to do!All the Qs! I can't see anything but mountains of Qs!
He's not a victim of the rep system. He's a victim of his own messiah complex.
Actually, if my best friend I've known for years decided to punch me anywhere, he probably wouldn't be my friend...I don't think it's that we let them get away with stuff, so much as understanding the person better.
