For my part, I've replaced optimism and believing the best of people by default with a grin and the absolute 100% certainty that if they cannot find a pig to fuck, they will buy some bacon and play oinking noises on YouTube.

Yeah, whatever the shit is going on there is starting to look more like a mental break or a meth problem than just a regular ego-fed temper tantrum.

This isn't shitty at all.

This is FUNNY.

I see your POV, but I agree with Jenne here.

CU is starting to foam at the mouth a bit.

Apparently, having an opinion that differs from his (and spelling it out in a fairly non-inflammatory manner) is grounds for being called "trash".

I think it's sad that this is happening to EB&G. I think we need to all help EB&G out by pushing CU over the edge as quickly as possible so that he will make good on his infantile posturing and leave EB&G in better hands (which would be just about anyone at this point).

Saw that.  I would have said something, but I've given up on the little freak.

When I met CU a month or so ago he seemed like a completely reasonable person.  I am utterly gobsmacked that this has turned out the way it did.

Roger, I owe you an apology for doubting the monkey metaphor a year or so ago.  Obviously my optimism was running at dangerous levels.

S'okay.  I have my moments of hope & optimism, too.  You just have to enjoy them until the universe plods up to set you straight, again.

SPOILER ALERT: VOICE OF REASON AHEAD!




In all fairness, I gotta say this: As someone who found themselves in the same position as CU and made more than his fair share of mistakes and mis-steps when thrust into the position, I understand how this all got started. But no matter what, at some point you have to decide which is more important: your pride and ego? or the viability of the community of OTHER PEOPLE that you're trying to nurture? If your position of leadership in that community is all about YOU, you shouldn't remain in that position. If it's about EVERYONE ELSE, there will be occasions where you need to back down off a stance you took. It gets easier each time.

Amen. It really does get easier with practice.

I don't think CU deleted you're post roger, at least if he did, I don't think he was sane or can remember doing it?
I think he's gone off his fucking tweet and until he comes back to reality we wont know for sure.

I have no idea.  All I know is that I went looking for it, and it was gone.  I searched my past posts, and it still wasn't there.  Phox had seen it, went looking for it, and also couldn't find it.

Then CU called Phox "trash".   :lulz:

Because there seems to be some weird stuff up anyway, I cant see avatars in threads and images are acting funny.

Wow, dude. Just wow.

I think I've got to step away from this whole dispute, because it was one thing to argue with him when he was just being an asshole, but it makes me uncomfortable now that he's acting like he's actually losing his shit.
