Lotus2014

Do you think you become more self important and full of yourself posting on a internet discussion board than in real life?

Absolutely. I'm very opinionated on this but quite a teddy bear in real life.

ArtyM

One does!

mad muffin

I am the very model of a modern Major-General,
I've information vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I know the kings of England, and I quote the fights historical,
From Marathon to Waterloo, in order categorical;
I'm very well acquainted too with matters mathematical,
I understand equations, both the simple and quadratical,
About binomial theorem I'm teeming with a lot o' news---
With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse.

I'm very good at integral and differential calculus,
I know the scientific names of beings animalculous;
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I am the very model of a modern Major-General.

I know our mythic history, King Arthur's and Sir Caradoc's,
I answer hard acrostics, I've a pretty taste for paradox,
I quote in elegiacs all the crimes of Heliogabalus,
In conics I can floor peculiarities parablous.
I can tell undoubted Raphaels from Gerard Dows and Zoffanies,
I know the croaking chorus from the Frogs of Aristophanes,
Then I can hum a fugue of which I've heard the music's din afore,
And whistle all the airs from that infernal nonsense Pinafore.

Then I can write a washing bill in Balylonic cuneiform,
And tell you every detail of Caractacus's uniform;
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I am the very model of a modern Major-General.

In fact, when I know what is meant by "mamelon" and "ravelin",
When I can tell at sight a chassepôt rifle from a javelin,
When such affairs as sorties and surprises I'm more wary at,
And when I know precisely what is meant by "commissariat",
When I have learnt what progress has been made in modern gunnery,
When I know more of tactics than a novice in a nunnery:
In short, when I've a smattering of elemental strategy,
You'll say a better Major-General has never sat a gee---

For my military knowledge, though I'm plucky and adventury,
Has only been brought down to the beginning of the century;
But still in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I am the very model of a modern Major-General.

"Discussion"??

Yes. Well I don't really discuss politics in real life. It can get hostile pretty quick, and you don't want to lose friendships.

( some exceptions who like a debate apart).

So I get my discussion fix here.

Mr. Incognito

I am a mod, so moderately.

Perish the thought.

I am way more importanter in real life.

What the **** did you just ****ing say about me, you little Rand-basher? I'll have you know I graduated top of Peikoff's class in Objectivism, and I've been involved in numerous internet debates with irrational haters, and I have over 300 confirmed deconstructions. I am trained in the Aristotelian philosophical tradition and I'm the top scholar in the entire Perfectivist movement. You are nothing to me but just another strawman. I will wipe you the **** out with logic the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my ****ing words. You think you can get away with saying that **** about Rand over the Internet? Think again, ****er. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of high school and college students across the USA and your arguments are being analysed right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your intellectual credibility. You're ****ing wrong, hater. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can destroy your arguments in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my copy of Atlas Shrugged. Not only am I extensively trained in Randian ethics, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the neo-Aristotelian juggernaut and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the humanities, you little ****. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your ****ing tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will **** fury all over you and you will drown in it. I foresee a lot of running for the hills, kiddo.

tI always stay true to myself and my beliefs. So no, the Internet's don't change me!

I think I challenge myself harder here. Because if you can cut your metal against all the minds that are on offer here (ok not in after hours but these fora as a whole) then you can make it down your local at the best of times.

But joking aside im not sure how many people are actually getting "more self important". Some of us just come on here and put our best arguments forth for the sake of the arguments themselves. Because if there are flaws in our arguments then there is no better place to have them ripped apart to tiny little shreds and have them dropped on your face like Rumpelstiltskin.

I'm even more of an opinionated cnut in real life tbh.

Tail Docker

I have kinda started copping on that people who are self-important eventually end up as being out on top, very few people have the neck to tell them they're full of it, and if someone does, they just shrug it off. Having a high opinion of yourself is underrated. I'd be the opposite,ish,

That was a brilliant pisstake of the original copypasta. Saw it the other day too

What the **** did you just ****ing say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills.

I'm certainly more confident in myself online as I don't have to face anybody. I have very low self esteem, so I struggle with any sort of confrontation in real life.

I'd tend to end up contributing to certain topics in a more importantey kind of way than others, usually because they are contentious topics for me in real life too.

Rest of the time im just trying to act the smart arse!
