Fwoosh Toys/Articulated Icons - A Retrospective

Lol, I don't typically do that. You have to really piss me off in order for me to go down that road. Sometimes, I'll go down that rabbit hole just out of curiosity, just to see who I'm dealing with. And nine times out of ten, they're the way they are for a reason, and I just let it go. It's not fun to bag on anyone when it's sad.

But like anyone else, I have my red lines. Say what you want about me, fine. I don't care. I was a dweeby, red headed, braces having, glasses wearing middle schooler in the 90s. I have thick skin, calloused through the formative years.

My wife? Go after her in any fashion, I will end you.
 
Sir?

We not talkin' 'bout muhduh ova hea?

...although... insult my beautiful queen enough...

...good info to have.

No joke here, but this is the second time someone has told me this, this week.

What Trunks isn't telling you is that he's 19.

Wait, I am a bit out of the loop. Yesterday when you guys mentioned Bobby you meant THAT guy? What the hell is Bobby's (or I guess, his minions') history with our forums?

Bobby and I have some history, so I enjoy shitting on him for fun AND profit. And while I was doing my randomly-posted mini breakdowns of his little drama with some other idiot YouTuber, a few guys from their orbit popped in here to offer their (relatively worthless) opinions. Some people suspect the person defending Bobby -was- Bobby, but I don't think that's true.

I am an awful, awful person if you'd ask a few folks here.

I don't think anyone has seriously said that. But if you act like a raging dickhead that can't control himself to people, they are going to generally think you're a dickhead that can't control himself. Which is different from 'awful person' on a lot of different levels.

Uh...pot, kettle, brother.

You and I are very much alike in that we will say the first things that pops into our head, for better or worse. There is very little sugar in our words and we have no problem telling people what we truly think of them. The only issue/difference is that I have the inability to let things go and I will keep it going for my own amusement. You can move on. I suppose that makes me a raging dickhead.

But so are you. And you know you are.

And you know damn well that I can list off a few people here who have very low opinions of me. I could name names, but why open that can of worms? Especially when I really don't care. But I am aware of it.

I’ll be real with you: if you seriously believe that is true of you (and honestly, I would be inclined to agree), that’s seriously toxic and it’s your responsibility to amend that behavior. It’s not OK, regardless of who or what you are responding to.

I’m going to invite you to stop this train before it leaves the station this time. Just don’t do it.

Listen, Rick... I'm not even mad at all this. But I'm going to explain something; I wasn't taking a shot at you. You're doing this 'some people think I'm awful' thing and I'm saying that ISN'T true. You have gone on less than hinged rants at people and it may create bad feelings or cause them to -expect- that behaviour from you. But that isn't the same thing as them thinking you are an awful person. Even having a 'low opinion' of someone does not mean you legitimately think that person is 'awful.'

It's an important distinction because one thing can be rectified in time and the other probably can't. And it feels defeatist to basically sit down and say 'some people hate me' when it's not only not true, but doesn't NEED to be true either.

It wasn't an attack on you, is what I'm saying.

And it's not pot and kettle because I have never said anyone thinks I'm an 'awful person.'
 
I'm not mad, either. Neither was my response a shot at you. I even stated that we are very similar in our approach to how we respond to people. And some would take how you've gone after others as "not very hinged", because let's be honest, tone is hard to decipher here.

I think you're an asshole, I think you can be a bit stuck up--I've told you as much...but I don't hate you. Hell, I don't even dislike you. Sometimes, I find your asshole behavior to be part of your charm. And these are simply things that I can point out as "character flaws" like my apparent toxicity above. But I'm sure you don't see them that way.

Same goes for me. I'm 43. I've made it 43 years being this way. And as I recently told someone here, no one here is going to change that. The people who know and like me, know and like me for who I am.

As far as this whole awfulness thing, I think it's fair to say you can't speak for them.

There is someone here who hates me because I defend my friends at PremiumDNA.

There is someone here that hates me because I call out their fealty and defense of a company.

There's someone here who hates me because I call his obnoxious behavior out.

Let them say for themselves, I suppose. I am positive that they disagree with your assessment.

I think I can speak for people I've directly interacted with on the topic. Unless the implication is I've just been lied to. Which, sure, that's possible. But it's equally or more possible that you are inferring or even inventing opinions of you held by other people. And you have to recognize that that's not fair.

100%. I've never claimed otherwise. But I'm not saying people think I'm awful, either. That's the difference. And it's the only thing I was responding to. Specifically because I think it would be a shame if you really felt other people are -that- harsh in their judgements and in their grudges. It's a tough place to come back from if you jump to assuming other people think -that- poorly of you.

I'm friendly with lots of people I've had bad interactions with because we worked it out or moved on. I'm not sure how much more difficult, or even possible, that would have been if I went into it assuming they thought so low of me to think I'm literally an awful person. That's all I was trying ot say, and encourage you to just think differently about it. If you can.
