See, what you guys are having a very hard time understanding is that I don’t “choose” to be extraordinarily perceptive and right any more than the majority of you choose to be thick numbskulls.
We’re given certain talents at birth (or not) and we have to live with those talents, like it or not.
The biggest crime I’ve committed here has not been my refusal to “admit that I’m wrong”, as some of you claim
A couple pages ago I pointed out that, among the most respected contributors to this forum, no one has “admit to being wrong” on anything.
For instance, Rainjack and Prof X are two highly arrogant, brash individuals who will NEVER admit to being wrong on anything. Certainly not on an internet forum, and probably not in real life, either.
So don’t come after me with the cannard that I’m too “arrogant”. That is a strawman. Everyone here is arrogant and you know that very well.
What’s my crime, then? Nothing, other than the fact that I have the audacity to articulate my beliefs and never back down.
Instead of posting snippets, I post essays. Instead of retorting to flames, I retort to logic.
That’s my one true crime.
Think about it. I’m identical to you in every other way besides the fact that I happen to hold very strong opinions and have the ability to write essays in defense of them.
Aside from that, I’m just another arrogant bastard. Like Charles Poliquin. Like Professor X. Like Rainjack. Like Vegita.
