bitrebel, I'll be really blunt.
I hate you because I made a legitimate post and you suddenly concluded I'm a Mason. Which I'm not. I'm a computer geek who wants to see Bruce Wagner get the shit kicked out of him for what he did to Bitcoin almost as much as I wanna see Bruce Wagner get the shit kicked out of him for what he did to a bunch of desperate homeowners in 2004.
The closest I actually come to "being a Mason" is that I repaired a computer belonging to a neighbor who used to be one.
And y'know, saying "hate" is maybe even too strong. You just struck me as a complete idiot and loser. I mean, holy fuck, I was agreeing with you in three threads and *boom* I'm a Mason and you act like I'm some horrible guy. Do you have any idea how hard it is to not want to respond in kind?
You say you're a friend to bitcoin. You're sitting there attacking me, and I'm sure I'm not the only one you've attacked who's been trying to help bitcoin. I've gotten several friends into it, I'm in the middle of trying to convince a couple small businesses to take it, I'm even trying to talk my roommate into letting me accept bitcoin payments for his home business.
You're an activist? Great. I take care of a mentally disabled person despite being disabled myself, and when I was younger, I was part of making whole new case law for disabled students where I grew up. I've been educating disabled people in the neighborhoods I've lived in about their legal rights and the programs available for years.
You ask me to look at something you wrote and answer a question about your motives. I didn't get that courtesy from you, though. You couldn't judge me by the totality of what I posted. The many, many times you and I were on the same side in the same topic, you jump all over me the first time I actually said one thing you didn't like. And not only that but you go on like I'm part of some conspiracy.
Well, I ain't ever gonna be part of a conspiracy. My opinions are my own, and I don't care what anyone else thinks of my opinions. I'll support anyone and anything I think is good, and I'll slam anyone and anything I think is pathetic. Hell, I'll do them both at the same time to the same person! Earlier tonight I was bashing the hell out of someone over their website and its problems, until they indicated they would actually be willing to listen if I gave them some concrete information and advice. And y'know what? Well, I'm this computer geek. "Woohoo! I get to help someone understand an obscure computer science thing!" Walked them through all of it. Didn't care I'd been fighting with 'em 20 minutes earlier, I respected them being willing to admit they could use help. Why? Because someone acknowledging they have a problem and being willing to fix it, even if it means asking help of someone who was just humiliating them? Well, that's worth respect.
And that's my decision. I decide who I'm going to respect and why. Nobody else tells me what to support, what to ignore, what to laugh at. Anyone tries, I'll make my own conclusions. Anyone isn't OK with that, they're on the what I laugh at list.
I find it utterly hilarious and simultaneously offensive that you accuse me of being part of some big evil secret society. I can't even agree with my roommate about where we're going for dinner. I got expelled from high school for repeatedly proving teachers were wrong when they made mistakes teaching the class. I'm completely incompatible with "being in a secret society", I can't even handle when politics comes up at Thanksgiving dinner and my uncle tries to convince me of something I know is bullshit.
Well fine then, you and I have no apparent issue. I never meant to attack you personally, but you seem to troll with the lot of them. Maybe we can see our differences then. I never added you to the list, because I was not sure. I gave you the benefit of the doubt, believe it or not. I care not, to attack you, wolftaur, it's just that you seem to be sticking up for the somethingawful crowd, and it all get's mixed up. I doubted that you were a Mason, though, or my enemy, at that. FYI
