I wanted to hear everyone's opinion on his or her role/title on this forum. Are you known as being intelligent, confrontational, funny, sweet, or something else? Create some sort of title for yourself based on this. Feel free to make your title pompous or pretentious. Also, could you create one for me? "Funny, weird guy that post fairly often, yet doesn't get into fights or hurt people" isn't very catchy.
So you were once sweet and nourishing, but now you're just a steaming, stinky pile? Okay. Still, you seem like a nice fellow.
I have no idea, to be honest. Looking back, I think I come off as a generally all right guy. A bit eccentric and cynical at times, but generally all right.
My avatar belies my personality. He just so happens to be my favorite super hero. Speak softly, and wield a scary avatar.
I think "generally all right guy" fits! This thread feels like an invitation to invent one of those connotation triumvirates, whatever they're called. "I'm voluptuous, you're pleasingly plump, she's fat," or whatever. From my perspective, I'm honest and forthright. From some other people's perspectives, I think I'm considered abrasive. (Of course, those other people can go fuck themselves, so... they may have a point!)
People like me or they hate me, and sometimes people that hate me like me better when they get to know me, or not.
Some people don't seem to like my opinions on the value of good books very much. Especially when opposed to more casual, just-for-entertainment fiction. Just as an example.
Everyone's entitled to their own opinion, you have has much right as anyone else to put your opinion forward. Sometimes, the problem occurs (and I'm not saying you've done this, it's a general observation) when someone tries to say that their opinion is the right one, or the only one that counts.
Well, I obviously think my opinion is right. But I don't think someone is stupid just because they don't agree with what I think, like some silly buggers have tried to suggest. Nor do I think (at all) that my opinion is the only one that matters. I really respect people when they can disagree with me but be friendly and civil about it. When someone disagree with me while also trying to bully and call me nasty names I not only lose respect for their opinion, I lose respect for them as a person.
@Lemex, pull yourself together, chum. You are very bright. I'll find an appropriate clip to demonstrate. Can't find the clip. This is you in the film 'A Bridge Too Far.' Intelligence officer, Major Brian Urqhart: He says: 'But sir, dropping our paratroopers on top of 10,000 resting SS troops is surely a monstrous suicide.' and then the General says: 'Shut up Urqhart, and get yourself some gardening leave...' etcetera
