The way you write reminds me of one of my ...Alexis,<br />The way you write reminds me of one of my old friends, especially a guy who 1) knew his shit inside and out and had a passion for it and 2) didn't particularly care if he offended others when he talked about his interests. Those are two traits on the internet make your blog a great read but will draw fire from bickerers and idiots. Keep writing and we'll keep reading. Nuff said.Tedankhamenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00181643018957592969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3871409676946408069.post-40651107092470349392011-10-19T08:50:41.479-06:002011-10-19T08:50:41.479-06:00And here we have a person who consistently writes ...And here we have a person who consistently writes posts about me, which are quite abusive, insulting, and missing of points, who now writes this flagrantly patronizing response to me ...<br /><br />And it only took him 17 minutes to write it after I posted.<br /><br />It has to be loved.Alexis Smolenskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10539170107563075967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3871409676946408069.post-21979434541581806392011-10-19T08:45:25.612-06:002011-10-19T08:45:25.612-06:00This was really a great post, and I'm not bein...This was really a great post, and I'm not being sarcastic. Thanks for this. And no, I don't expect to change you when I post about you. I just feel the need to, as you say, call out the stupid things people say. But in your case, it's not usually stupid. Rather, it seems to be strangely angry and sadistic, and I post because I want to ask you "why?" Why present yourself this way? I try to keep reminding myself that you probably mean well, you want to give the hobby some tough love, and that this is part of a persona you wish to project (i.e. the curmudgeonly wise man?). But I still am so curious and confused as to why you choose to be so damned irascible! Thanks again, this was really good stuff, and a breath of fresh air from the Tao.Anthony Simeonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04312134763577949405noreply@blogger.com
