Look at it this way, FlammingCobra. Would you rather have a bunch of faceless people who don't know you on a personal level, critique some of you less than well thought out ideas, or people who actually hold a significant place in your life? Take it from me, sometimes things sound like they are clever or smart, until they leave your head and Nuke gets hold of them and riddles you with holes made by radioactive bullets of GTFO,MTFU and other witty and soul crushing CHARACTER BUILDING comments.
****, at least if you say something stupid here, it will usually only go as far as here. Dekker's my older brother so if I do so, I get grilled about it for a while in real life.
Did I get upset that people would take the piss? Yeah a little, until I realised that I would have taken the piss out of me as well, had I been them. I learned from their jeers and jabs, and I'm still learning.
Now, sip on a nice warm cup of cement and HARDEN UP (in a non-gay way). **** could always be worse.
I used to get laughed at in this forum....Till I took an arrow to the knee.
