xfd lord of the morons has moron in his name
I know. He should have done what you did and replace the "o" with a "0". That way no one could accuse him of having "moron" in his name. Additionally, he would look totally rad with the 0 in the name.

He really is a lawyer though.
See, some people troll because they know they're better than everyone else and know full well how much being a strong, confident person bothers the weak. Guys like User, foolmo, Revenus, Sess, realo, Commodore, Shake a few years ago, etc.
All that stuff Little League and your mom taught you about everyone being a winner is wrong, but you won't learn that until you try getting a job and your boss yells at you the first time.
I kept the parts in your quote that I felt like commenting on. But yes, it is true. I don't need to argue with most of the people on B8. I don't need to really do much of anything. Look at this topic alone, for example. They brought up the lawyer thing for me, and then allowed themselves to become bitter over it. It is like they did my dirty work for me. This board seems to be a safe haven for those who severely lack confidence. Most people here legitimately need this place. They need the other board members to tell them how great they are and give them UotY votes. They don't know what they would do if they didn't have each other. This is the primary reason I come to this board. I don't like most of the people here...so they aren't the attraction. It is how I can feast on them. Some may say I am being mean. I, however, believe I am just being a troll. Trolling is fun, and those with confidence can laugh about it at the end of the day.
The best board on gamefaqs is the Baseboard. Alec can confirm this. They are all like me...confident, sarcastic, subtle trolls. We hunt the non-regulars down and never let up once they make a mistake. We mock them to death...and even mock each other. We will attack each other when we make a mistake or say something stupid. However, if an outsider is arguing with a regular, we tend to go with "I agree with anyone who is colored yellow in this topic." You can just tell those guys are more confident and can take everything dished out there. I think it is good...makes people grow thicker skin, gain more confidence, and always have a witty retort. If only this board could learn!
And as for your boss yelling comment...amen to that. I get yelled at daily by my boss. So does everyone in our firm. I can't even stand him....but hey...he signs the paycheck. So I take the abuse. On a rarity he will hand out compliments though. I got 2 in 2 days this week! I'm on a roll.
