Heh, well the combination of beer and a bit of tantrum just made me laugh a bit and thus I made a pretty poor joke. For the record afaik you are right in what you wrote, although I would personally have voiced it with less venom.

True, it could have been put in a more polite tone but it is frustrating when something has been corrected a million times and yet there is still some person who insists on repeating the already well and truly discredited point that they're about to make.

I find it funny when people read my posts and automatically assume that if I were to say it in real life I'd be yelling at the other person because my writing happens to be forthright. When people assume that writing born out of frustration must mean yelling and anger it is really saying something about themselves to which they're projecting than anything about the way in which the person would actually being saying it in real life.

Perhaps you should make an effort to write how you speak, rather than being open and honest about being an Internet Tough Guy.

The only reason you would be more aggressive when writing rather than speaking is cowardice.

I speak my mind freely, and I go to great pains to write exactly how I speak.

Yes, I speak with rather odd, mechanical, overly-verbose and occasionally intentionally-abstruse diction.

I'm not saying turn down your aggression, though I do think it's misplaced. I'm saying grow a pair of something brassy and try acting this way in public to total strangers and see how it goes. If you can handle the consequences, I'll respect you.



Oh, I checked out your blog to see if it had as much vitriol in it. It didn't, from what I read. Didn't have much of interest, but it wasn't a bunch of RAYJ.
Though I can't reconcile the post above and:

You're already worked up, you've said that you yourself write more aggressively than you act afk.
Are you writing about yourself?
Why should anyone have to make a video of themselves to satisfy you? What difference does it make? It's still a human being on the other end of the discussion, but now it takes more bandwidth and time.

How am I being an 'internet tough guy'? an 'internet tough guy' would be if I was threatening you with violence or chest beating saying I can 'kick your ass' - none of which I said.



Ah, personal attacks, nice one - why come up with a valid critique when pseudo psychology can be your specialty.



You're assuming when I say these things I am shouting - if you knew me you would know that I don't show, scream or yell; I've been accused of having a boring monotone voice. The fact that you link my writing style to that of a person yelling says a lot about the way you speak than the way I sound like.

How about reading some of Friedrich Nietzsche's writing then read a biography on him - then you'll see what I mean. A passionate and forth right writer needn't sound like a jackass in real life walking around screaming and ranting as some sort of manifestation of a particular style of writing.



Way to go dropping context - but then again, why use context when you can twist and distort things to make yourself sound like a 'online psychologists'. You remind me very much of this profile:
