Re: I am Back

I’m back. It looks like some of you have missed me, some of you have tried to tear me down (rather pathetically I might add), while others just said meh... You just can’t please all of the people all of the time. It’s amazing how much debate this thread has sparked. It looks as if the recent posts have devolved into a religious flamewar, and I never even mentioned religion in any of my posts.
I was astounded when I returned to see how many people jumped in with their 2 cents. There were some bizarrely tangential topics bandied about in this thread which left me baffled I recall reading one guy saying that he expected me to attack his gender and his ethnicity…WTF?? (still scratching my head on that one). Then there were the numerous posts on the titular play on which I based my name on. Why are people arguing whether Waiting for Godot is obscure or not? I suppose people like to argue for the sake of arguing or they want to impress others with their breadth of literary knowledge. Obscurity is a qualitative judgment, but I think given the choice of labeling it obscure or not obscure, most people will side with me on this one. I saw one poster say that that was the reason he didn’t buy my story. If I state apples are tasty and you don’t agree with me, does that mean the rest of my argument falls down? If I mention Schrodinger’s Cat and I call it an obscure reference… will someone say “it’s not obscure if you’re an astrophysicist?”
I don’t want to spend too much time arguing the most petty of points here. However, given the large number of views (over 3,500 at least count) there have been NO credible logical, and concrete arguments against the veracity of my posts. Doesn’t that count for something? The best my detractors can come up with are non-specific feelings and vague hunches.
I know I shouldn’t sweat the small stuff. It’s just part of my ultra competitive nature, I never back down from a challenge. That is partially the reason I am in situation I am in. I realize that competitiveness, like everything, is best in moderation, and I am trying to achieve balance in my life right now.
Before leaving last week, I was under incredible amounts of stress. As a result, I was even more likely to go off at the slightest provocation. I am back now, and things are looking up for me, so I probably won’t be as argumentative as I was. There is no point in posting here if it makes me miserable (although the same could be said of poker).
Waiting for Godot

So you are gone for a week, you come back and THIS is your response?
You posted here because you wanted help and support and many people stepped up and offered it - and instead of coming back and thanking the people who took you seriously, you just start attacking the people who didn't.
Honestly, that is really f*cking immature.
