A shoot implies that the rest of what I say is a work. This is the real world, not fucking wrestling, and everything I do is a "shoot". Not that I would ever use wrestling parlance in the real world. I rarely use it on here beyond "heel" and "face".
Nobody has made the predictable "shoot on IC's shoot on shoots" thread. Well done. I will offer some general thoughts though, based on something he said. I cared as much about the guy with 5 posts shoot as anyone else's. One of the worst things about this place is people questioning who new posters are. I'll tell you who they are, they're names on a screen who have as much a right to post here as you do. If people don't want to read them, they don't have to. You wouldn't tell a new guy at work to shut up if he tried to instigate a conversation, so don't do it here. The validity of one's opinion does not correlate to the amount of time spent on a wrestling forum. If it did, it would almost certainly be an inverse correlation.
Don't get wound up about things you don't understand. The creationist thread in the bar room lite is an absolute festival of people getting the wrong idea, on both sides of the argument. To summarise 1) If you don't know anything about the big bang, don't pretend to. 2) If you think the bible is intended literally, you're a moron. Before anyone comes back with "it's not stupid to have faith", I agree, but St. Thomas Aquinas and St. Augustine spent their whole lives re-interpreting the Bible to their contemporary worlds, and that little "St." before their name is an indication that they're probably a bit closer to God than you.
Don't take this place too seriously. It's a wrestling forum. It's not that good being a mod. You get to go in the board room, which is cliquier than a frat party at the masonic lodge, and spend your time being told that you live in your mother's basement or that you are a member of the National Socialist German Workers' Party, by a bunch of goons that think "SEAN MICHALS IS THE BEsT2" is a detailed opinion. For the record, I have neither a mother nor a basement, and even if I wanted to be a Nazi, I'd have to travel back in time 43 and years before I was born, as that party has been defunct since 1945. Why do I continue to be a mod? Because I have one of the easiest sections, and it encourages me to actually read threads.
If you do want to be a mod, I don't suggest you pester the mods about it. All they do is take the piss out of you. And then Slyfox says "We won't be promoting [username] at the moment". And then that's it. I certainly wouldn't suggest trying to point out which mods aren't doing their jobs. Number 1, you don't have a fucking clue. Number 2, all it will do is guarantee that whenever you make a slip up, you will be punished.
Memes aren't funny, and never have been.
I don't do correspondence. I have been here 3 years, and if it wasn't for quote notifications and infractions, I'd never have cleared out my PM box. Perhaps I'm not approachable enough. I've literally met more people on this forum than I've had personal messages in the sense intended. I can't really imagine how people break the ice? This is not an invitation to break the ice.
These are only interesting if you mention people, so here's a selection:
Sam is funnier than you.
Gelgarin is a better poster than you.
I am mildly surprised at the fact that I've actually liked all of the people I've met on these forums, but that's more about me than you. Madcap is the one you can see from furthest away, for the record. And Dave has the most annoying fish tank, Lee can verify this.
Sidious' assertion that Norcal is young dumb and full of cum is at least a third wrong, but while everyone felt it necessary to point out that his success with the ladies meant that it was the "full of cum" part, it was a shame that nobody pointed out that the real point of stupidity there is that Norcal is evidently not dumb, and is easily one of the most aware of how wrestling actually works here. It's a shame people either can't or don't look past the sex stories.
I predicted almost exactly what would happen with Sidious months before it did. Lee can corroborate this. The whole gay thing was a bit of a swerve though.
Doc, Sly, tdigle and Lee. Those are the people who I don't think are ***** when it comes to discussing TM negatively in public, because those are the ones who did it when he was here. Pretty much everyone else should be ashamed. Ashamed either because you kissed someone you didn't like's arse for two years or ashamed for ditching your friend. For the record, I like TM, he was one of the only long term members that made new people feel welcome. Were his actions weird? Yes. Do I think he was being sinister rather than inappropriately curious? No.
The old Tastycles newsletter was my favourite thread. I valued the high level of contributions from Dave, Lee, Sam and Barbosa.
It started to take the piss out of fromthesouth, who turned out to be a racist. Can't say I'm surprised, to be honest with you. He didn't notice that it was there to take the piss.
Shocky is underappreciated.
People who get on Doc's back, or anyone else's for that matter, about being a virgin are far more pathetic than any virgin.
I'm sure nobody will read this, nobody ever reads anything I write in the bar room. Except Sam. Still, that's more people than read what I write in the non-spam sections.
