I'd love to go into a story about how I'm being blackmailed by my boyfriend, I'm super poor, I need money, and this was all a misunderstanding.
Far be it from me to dribble the milk of human kindness over you.
I’m the one who
dropped Nietzsche in a thread where my total rejection of the concept of empathy got me
accused of being a psychopath by some armchair-psych nincompoop who needs to have his copy of the DSM confiscated pronto.
In that thread, amidst a polemic against empathy, I said:
(Aside: I myself have real-life experience with desperation brought by ill circumstance, hardship, hunger, ailing health, and outright homelessness. I would win any game of one-downsmanship before a jury of bleeding hearts. I dislike mentioning that, and shan’t discuss it further, because I have something called dignity; and it does not give me any special credibility in this argument, as if only those who have had it tough can pass judgment on wrongdoing. I bring this up only to point out that in my experience, those who have had easy lives seem most susceptible to catching “empathy”. I infer from that a misplaced sense of guilt. Whereas those who face genuine life-and-death hardship either become degenerate beggars, or embrace the lesson that the strong survive and the weak perish. “Builds character.”)
I’ve been in harder situations than I care to admit. There are reasons why I don’t have 1.2 BTC. If someone wants to get weepy over me, I’ll knock his teeth out.
What I am trying to do instead is to urge you out of a wrong situation into (more of a) right one. Incidentally, you’d most likely wind up much happier. Win-win.
But the truth is - I'm not poor. I'm not being blackmailed into anything. This is my account, favours belongs to my brother. I can prove this to anyone who is willing to Skype me. I have never scammed a single person, I have only helped them earn money. You may not believe me not, but time will tell how legitimate I am. I only wanted to have fun, make some money, and get a good rep here -
oklooks like just because my brother and I share the same WiFi network,
And the same account logins. And occasionally the same e-mail address, too! But let’s not belabour the point.
my whole rep has gone to shit.
N.b. that in the same thread where I got called a psychopath for being a little bit Nietzchean, I also said this:
asapjoshyy implicitly claims ignorance of the adage that “trust is hard to earn, easy to lose”. I myself would add, “...and nigh impossible to repair”.
Come back here in a year and see where I am on this forum. You'll be surprised.
How do I break this to you gently?
Do you even realize who put your account where it is right now, within the past
twelve days? Instant fame. A circle of admirers in the Legendary and Hero ranks. Hmmm.
It wasn’t you who did that. Granted, I needed decent material to work with. But it wasn’t you who deliberately spread your name and links to your threads all over threads you didn’t even follow, which were followed by people who respect
me.
Sorry to burst your bubble, hon. “You’d be surprised.”
