   A Barbed Wire World

   If you think I am a jerk on here, you haven't seen me on some other forums. I've singlehandedly brought down a discussion site that used to have thousands of members, because I made everyone so upset. They used to have dozens of moderators on account of me, but now they are fleeing in droves because they're having nervous breakdowns. Every site on that topic throughout the internet is switching to invite-only sites.
   
   I see it as the future of the net, though.

   That is a fact. But don't worry, because he will no doubt have a heart attack before too long, sparing us all from his obnoxious existence.
   And he smells like fish shit too.

   You are just part of the case studies used in Unskilled and Unaware of It: How Difficulties in Recognizing One's Own Incompetence Lead to Inflated Self-Assessments is all Dorpus.

   This would be one reason I prefer Usenet newsgroups to web based forums. Most decent newsreaders have kill files and filters to weed out stuff you are not interested in.

   dorpus,
   you single handedly annoy the vast majority of posters here as well ... the difference is we just make fun of you or ignore you.
   
   The only thing I would believe your good @ " single handedly " is spanking your monkey

   What do I NOT do?

   People accuse me of being many things. But what do I NOT do?
   
   I do not assume many guises and identities, have flame wars with myself, and drag down the level of discussion. I do not spam advertisements on here. I do not make death threats against Mike or other posters; why, I rarely respond to taunts. I do not post links to Techdirt on dark corners of the internet, nor do I make DoS attacks on the server. In summary, I have no plans to bring down techdirt, like I have other sites.

   Oh thank you, your greatness. Whatever have we or has Mike done to deserve to be spared from your wrath?
   We bow at your feet with praise for your mercy and grace.

   No one has said anything to really offend me, just the garden-variety insults that I am a troll or whatever.

    I figure Mike lives a stressful life running his underdog business, filled with uncertainties. He doesn't need to have his quality of life ruined by some random terrorist, right?
