Pellius, let's put things into perspective: you're a cantankerous old cadaver on a message board, 'calling out' and questioning the character of people who mock Mike O'Hearn while seemingly forgetting that you joined a cult to 'bring down' people like him, and referred to your leader as God. Subservience and hypocrisy are your defining attributes.
As for the 'third-hand verbal account' of the incident your were part of, it's well-remembered by me and we can elaborate some more if you like (you can also address the other disgusting comments you made). It is, however, notable that your usual long-winded and incoherent polemics complete with philosophical quotes you just Googled are absent this time. I’d be mortified and desperate to end any discussion if I were the author of those words, too.
All you have left is the short-statured, stupid and equally servile donkey 'Grovelling Griffith' as an emotional support animal, and an embarrassing attempt to criticise my plain English. (Forgetting that you just made a fool of yourself again last week by extolling the virtues of correct grammar while failing to understand the difference between apostrophes and commas). You're a fraud, a liar, a hypocrite and a hebephile who's over twice my age: I’m really not the one with nothing going for me. You can have the last word if you like; I'm bored now.
I can see I've poked a sensitive issue. A lot of "long winded" text being plastered for a relatively trivial remark.
But, yes, lets put things in perspective. I make a comment, not directed at anyone, that I never understood or took pleasure in other people's misfortunes. I know by their comments that several disagree with me. But so what? What do they care? But not you, you seem to take personal offense. You claim that those like me have gone soft, that GetBig has gone soft "he barely gets roasted". It actually bothered you that more people don't relish Mike tumbling down the stairs. You brag that you fully expect your "friends" to laugh at you had you took such a spill. Notice no one felt that they had to defend themselves and their "sensitive and soft" nature. But not you. You are still trying to convince me by now taking the phony professorial tone you always take when trying to redeem yourself.
And now you are making one of the weakest arguments to defend your boorish behavior (why you feel you have to do this is another issue) by saying, "Oh yeah, well what about you? You said bad things, too!" Even resorting to a trivia point where I have mistaken a comma for an apostrophe -- which I freely admitted. Remember the logical fallacy Tu Quoque, Mr. Professor?
And somehow you think it's relevant that you are younger than me. Another breach of logic from such so desperate to be perceived as a learned individual -- Non-Sequitor .
You consistently prove yourself as one so desperate to seek validation and approval of others. You claim I am the loser and that you have a lot going for you, yet I am an open book here. People know what I look like, where I live, what I did for a living...
whereas you, the one who wants us to think is such a success, remains anonymous.
You're not bored. I know how to push your buttons. You'll be back. And in the future mind your manners when addressing me.
