Has anyone ever become obsessed with you?

Now that is what I call butt hurt. :cool:

Miles, I think you fail to realize that many of us only care to get meaning across on an internet message board. We don't try to add some sort of whimsy and writing flare to our posts in the pathetic and pretentious manner you do, because we simply are not of the same breed of attention whore that you are.

Glad we got that sorted. ;)

Generally speaking I do too, but it is good to have your own identity. My posts are pathetic and I'm an attention whoreish? Erm, okay. I call it having a laugh and also being to laugh at one's self. I might be pretentious, but it's not as though I am not self mocking too. I just post in my own style and generally speaking I tell an anecdote in a smooth reading, humourous way. I don't think anecdote telling is one of my weak points. It's one of my strengths. For instance, my jungle account is lovely stuff. Okay, one or two errors in there because I too was typing in haste, but on the whole a jolly and charming piece of writing.

Miles, the curious part of your response was the suggestion of being rhetorical in style. I mean, seriously?

I understand it is human nature to project, thus you may be staring into the looking glass a bit when judging those around you. Case in point, your use of the word rhetorical.

Let's break it down some to it's raw element. The word rhetoric.

rhet·o·ricnoun /ˈretərik/ 

1. The art of effective or persuasive speaking or writing, esp. the use of figures of speech and other compositional techniques
2. Language designed to have a persuasive or impressive effect on its audience, but is often regarded as lacking in sincerity or meaningful content

I suggest that you are in fact sir, projecting your own inability to write in a simple and straight forward fashion, fueled by a need to try and impress us, the readers. Which is okay Miles. I don't/won't hold it against you, nor should others. Miles gonna be Miles I say. But to act as amat suggested, in a snobby manner that we may be lacking in some form of writing ability from your high perch of narcissism, is a bit laughable with your verbosity and pretension hanging out for all to see.

Miles, I can honestly judge you as a douchebag. I am a journalism major with grades at the very top of my class. I'm about to transfer to one of the ten best English programs on the planet Earth. I do not need your approval. Honestly, it's not a big deal to me. Still, I know you're an English teacher and it does kind of piss me off. I would think that since most of us are adults here that we are above that, yet obviously your pettiness knows no boundaries. If I had a shit life like you do then I might fall into the same trap. I like reading your posts but critiquing a drunken rambling of mine is petty at best.

I couldnt of written that in a pink fit! Thats very big boy talk for a whipper snapper :o

I can shoot from the hip fast but wow thats with aim and skills way beyond my 9th year of education.:p

Im fuckin hopeless i recon I have to cut and paste a word or two into Wikipedia at least once a week. :cool: the auto word correcting thing is a must too:cool:

No, you can both write well when you put your minds to it, but I didn't enjoy Amat's story. You two are being extremely defensive. It wasn't a very good story and I suggested my jungle story as a more successful anecdote. And that is clearly a better one. I also wanted to have a dig at Amat for his peeing standing up thread as he started that just to wind me up. Amat saying he wants to sad click me 50 times means we are even.

Anyway, Amat you are pissed off over this? Well, think before you have a dig at other posters yourself then. It's easy to find something to attack someone over and your toilet thread was far more juvenile than this. I have no particular beef with you, but thought it would be a laugh to have a go at your story. It wasn't done with any particular malice, but your last post displays plenty of those qualities. My life is not particularly shitty, I am enjoying a 10 week vacation, have been to the jungle and have been able to enjoy my free time. See, I have no idea why it has to get so personal. This weekend I am going away to the mountains which contain some wonderful valleys and long lakes. My life is quite pleasant, but if it makes you feel better to think that I am so much more miserable than you are then fair enough. Let me know when you get a job because there aren't that many good journalism positions out there anymore. Miaow! :rolleyes:

And YB, I would agree that a fair amount of my posts are indeed of the nature you bolded and more so when I am in what you call "attention whore" mode or what I would also term my "self mocking" mode. But 'rhetoric' also has other useful definitions and clearly number 4 below is what I regard as the most significant. I generally use my language effectively and have a hard time seeing that as a valid criticism of me. It's easier just to call me 'arrogant', 'pompous' and so on, but usage of rhetoric is not a particularly valid criticism.

Clearly I will have to adjust my position in order to gain greater respect around here.

It's just amusing how I am the one always accused of not being able to take a dig and yet whenever I dish out anything people are always defensive and far ruder in return. I take a lot of abuse on here myself and think I handle it fairly well these days, but people shouldn't be surprised if a little mud comes back sometimes.

Nope,,

I know you are not tech savy... You old fart :cool:

Probably aimed at me because all anyone does is take shots at me. Corpses, infants, illiterate types, dwarves, they all take pot shots at me and in fairness I am rarely the one who flies at anyone first. Totally uncalled for really. And yet it is totally cool to attack me because I say things that oppose the propagandistic political line or else have slightly unorthodox personality characteristics.

This is how you tell an anecdote. Classic Alan.

hahahaha this part is great.

This is where your "Poor me I get picked on so much oh why oh why" boo hoo act never really holds any weight. You forever are writing about how horrible everything and where in the world is, and on occasion wander into personal territory like here, attacking what was amat, and what I thought might be me too, and are totally clueless to it. Just another day in the Miles is far superior to everything and everyone else world in which you live, this time via suggesting we are illiterate slogs, unlike you.

Of course you get attacked Miles. You are a bitter person who is not shy to share that. You have a dim world view. I would suggest it even deepens into the area of being contemptuous. These places (most places) you hate and always speak of, people come from there. Or have some emotional connection to them. Our world is getting smaller by the day. Expect some negativity when you judge them so harshly. When you address a person in a negative manner expect it to go to the heart of others, as you do so in an aloof and condescending tone. Plus, you might have been shorted a bit on the art of writing sarcasm, humor in general. So it does seem more intentioned when you do so.

So, the summation of that is, quit telling everything and body how terrible they are, if you aren't capable of accepting the negative reactions it generates. When you cry after the fact it just makes you, quite frankly, come off as big baby.

But you know I still love you Miles, right? You big silly.

Now come over here and give me a big hug...

Well, I love you too, you fag. I am not particularly angry about your previous post because I don't think it is very true. I don't care to be honest. If a journal was rejecting me, I would be upset, but I am quite happy with who I am am and how I post. This is my home, I like you and Amat. I just don't like people attacking me for no reason.

I like you chaps, but for some reason you young people don't seem to like me sometimes. I am always in the likeboat though.

Everyone loves me including my latest stalker and they never go away...

Excuse me..... Did you see your name in my post?

When I "aim" things at you Miles, I always use your name so there can be no misunderstanding.

BTW, I have noticed in a few thread, that you are "retiring".

Going to bed? Or leaving the forum?

In my humble opinion it is not to do with your unorthodox personality characteristics but rather the fact that you seem to have developed into something of an egomaniac.

I thought it was because he's a knobhead :-\

All quite possible, but clearly there are a couple of people obsessed with me and to be honest I don't know how to deal with it anymore.

I am not an egomaniac, I don't like myself at all. In fact my current situation is quite different from what started this thread. But I have become the subject of a lot of weirdness. I have had to erase an email address and all sorts of stuff.

I don't want to talk about any of it in any detail, but again thanks for calling me a knobhead. I quite appreciate that, Memphis.

Clearly someone is obsessed with me and I don't want them to be. I am trying to ease them off of me, but they seem to have Bilbo style characteristics.

I care for this person a lot though, but every time you show care it just makes them think there is more.

I don't understand why women can think there can be more than friendship when you are actively married. Honestly, they are weird and I am being hassled somewhat.

It's almost impossible with this situation, I keep saying that I am happy to be friends and hang out. But this person seems to be ultra stubborn and competitive, it is almost like my words exist just to be challenged. A case of 'let him say that and I shall ignore the fact that he is married, I shall win in the end'. But nobody can win me.

Just the other day I went out with my coworker and I think that might have been the night when I retired from here (I was that drunk again). I had some girl crawl over to me and fill my (beer glass to the brim) with whiskey, basically begging me to take her home. I told her to leave me alone and go and hassle my coworker. She was having none of it and kept hassling me. "Ooh come to a motel....no strings attached!". But having drank my beer glass of whiskey she got the message and realised that I wasn't interested.

See that's the kind of guy I am. All you women out there should leave me alone and go for hot young cock like that of Youngblood, but leave old men like me alone. I know I am more cute, but I can never be yours. In some cases it seems the denial just makes them more crazy. And so I seem to be experiencing that in a different case.

And clearly you can tell how drunk I am by how well my sentences hang together. The more drunk I get, the more they fall apart and I almost end up non-verbal. I guess I've had a few rough nights recently and it doesn't help to drink an entire beer glass of whiskey, which I did that particular night. Actually that night was almost supernatural, I shouldn't be alive.

In that state of mind or lack of, I guess I can be quite rude, but everyone knows me here so no big deal. Everyone is rude to everyone round here anyway.

Haha, no I'm quite serious. This crazy woman came over with a half full bottle of whiskey and gave a little to my coworker, then herself and filled mine right to the top. I drank it all, but was totally wasted afterwards. She obviously used it as a strategy to pull me, but she had no idea what she was dealing with. I don't go off with random women. I think I must have had about 6 pints of beer before that. I was pretty drunk. Had no idea I was threatening to leave again.

Nah, I'm not the cheating type. For instance, I'm the only person who would take a beer glass of whiskey from a girl and then give her cold shoulder each time she tries to get close to me. I'm stubborn that way. I won't let anyone get too close and certainly not on a physical level.
