I'm not deserving of respect because my attacks against you have clouded your judgement. I am elite. You weren't equipped with my knowledge at 19.
Okay. That's respectable. You are a smart guy, don't get me wrong. I think you are entirely blinded with regard to me, however. Hatvol doesn't like idiots.
You should probably go start your own board and invite the elite members of 8thmaxim and other message boards. I'm sure it would work out wonderfully.
On second thought, I do like some idiots, so I guess it isn't a blanket prejudice. I don't like idiots intent on showing the world how smart they really are.
Hat has said he likes me. He has professed he doesn't like idiots. Therefore, according to the board's "rockstar", as KPT described him on VN, I am not an idiot. Appeal to authority? Abso-[uck fay]ing-lutely. Will you still think I'm an "idiot" after I'm making 500K per year and preparing to start a global business?
Would be a disaster, KPT. Hat would come. I'd get a few elite guys from other sites. But I don't have the funds for the proper cyber-infrastructure.
I'm not sure what your aim is. If you are as intelligent as you claim, you shouldn't have too much trouble predicting what would happen if we allowed you to return. It would be akin to rehiring Phil Fulmer, except Phil actually had a period of success. As for this silent majority or minority you claim desires your presence they've been unbelievably silent when asked to vouch for you. Even without all the above, you were told what would happen if you didn't change. You forced our hand. It wasn't a bluff. Now it's over. You'll be banned 100 times a day for the next twenty years if necessary.
Never said "desire." They'd have no problem with it. Because I was ousted for personal reasons. GP resident.
We ran a successful one for four or five years prior to the 8th's launch on a zero dollars a year budget.
You were ousted because every member of the forum we are trying to build complained about you. This board costs money to run and the expectation is that it will eventually pay for itself and generate money. It's business.
You know what: that is actually a good answer. I believe you're exaggerating, but that's irrelevant. I'll read, but I won't post.
BTW @Tenacious D and anyone in the know Why do you want my personal e-mail? What is this "event" (I guess) to which you keep referring? I would be happy to give it to you, but I need to know some additional details.
Just relax and post, Ax. Don't fall into the petty spiral of bickering. We know it doesn't go anywhere.
I changed my mind. I'll be posting. You are correct, IP. The guys like you, who are talented enough to actually see talent, will be rewarded with friendship and, if you ever need it, money and connections. I want to post here because I enjoy the company of guys like Hat, IP, VKB, Lex, Tenny, Jo, Jayvols, Quanah, et al. I will just ignore the rest of you. I will say this: anyone who thought BPV was an intellectual titan should reevaluate. A despicable performance with regard to me. Using Army money and "prestige" to get into "elite" (I laughed) schools obviously doesn't extirpate the jock mentality and instill the mentality of a raw intellectual assassin. You either have it, or you don't. The End. No more bickering.
Ax, just post and tone down on the axe-grinding. Edit: Hope it is the end of the bickering..doubt it though.
