Are you successful? (1 Viewer)

[General Malaise]

I'm an abject failure, thus far.

Hold on...haven't you married a hottie half your age, helped your state pass weed legalization and won TOCOL (hardest most competitive league 15 years running) at least once? Failure how?

In sum I have taken more than I have given, though I knew better. I have not eased the burdens of others as much as I had the opportunity to. The ledger, though, is not yet closed.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Gekko off the rails now.

If that's what you want the public to believe...

For some reason I read this in the voice of Raymond Reddington.

You sound like a wise man.

I am not. I know this because sometimes I am so gullible as to fool myself.

None more sagacious than the venerable Ditkaless Wonders. A kinder man in a time of need you will not find.

 

[General Malaise]

Why would anyone meltdown on GM anyway, seems like an unreasonable target. So white he gets a sunburn walking by a window, 12 kids, Ducks fan, and a super nice guy.

Pick on me Gekko, I'm your Huckleberry. I'm none of those things.

I TAN!

I thank you for your kind words. The world could use more folks like you, in my estimation.

 

[tommyGunZ]

DW made me a better poster. Called me out a few years ago about something, and I took a step back and realized I'd probably turned into a bit of an arrogant ##### if a guy like DW was going to rattle my cage.

I can still be an arrogant #####, but I'm a bit more self aware than I was a few years back. Thanks DW.

 

[fantasycurse42]

A bit weird how serious some of you take this place.

How serious Gekko takes it you mean? Or because he's a alleged group alias? People fighting over chicks who post at football forums that are 97% male is a bit weird, that I"ll give you. The rest is internet theater and Gekko seems to be merging the innerwebs and real life into a poop soup.

Yeah I mean those are some downright weird posts.But "alleged group alias"? What the hell does that even mean and how would you know?

It's been an on-going conversation for years. I know nothing of Gekko except he hates women and is generally angry about everything. Oh and the 7000 word diatribes I never read.

Post 51 is really creeping me out.

Reminds me of that e-mom stuff that one time. I know a lot of guys IRL from this board, and the only drama we ever had was a couple of guys quit a baseball league we were all in together. Drama should stay on the boards here, when it goes offline into motels, breaking up marriages, and death threats, it tends to not be as entertaining.

What's this now?

Goes way back, do some beagling and you'll find it.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Gekko off the rails now.

Again, what would you consider more "off the rails"?

Some guys with tens of thousands of posts, where this message board is their social life, who want to mob up and circle the wagons around some creepy stalker type because he's part of their IClique?

Or the old guy laughing at them and telling them to go #### themselves?

HAHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA.

****

All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

- Arthur Schopenhauer, German philosopher (1788 1860)

for a blithering #### who cares so much about icliques, I sure do love the irony of this:

This was at a point where I only had like a hundred posts, but I was generating, not something I was expecting, a tremendous amount of board attention because of my posts/writing style.

You're like a SHART in white pants, that's the best way to describe you. No one ever thought you were anything but that, HTH.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Actually I should have said, "A SHART in sheep's clothing."

That's pretty funny because sheep are white, but you probably wouldn't get that.

Awaiting your 10k word response.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

This is awful, like everything else you've ever posted here.

Shouldn't you be disparaging women in some strippers forum? You're low-level talents seem to be wasted here.

 

[Ladsud]

Did you track my IP Dr? Threatening people is a low blow.

 

[Ladsud]

Does people not agreeing with you on the net piss you off that much? Are you sure you served this Nation?

 

[Doctor Detroit]

How did I threaten you? I just pointed out your obvious over-the-top nonsense.

But yes, I know where you live.

 

[Ladsud]

..... but you probably wouldn't get that....

Doctor Detroit, you are edging on nearly EIGHTY THOUSAND POSTS HERE. This site and this message board are your social life.

Based on how I often see you following me around in posts to let me know how much I suck, you sure do spend a lot of time and effort on reading everything I write on this site, no matter how distasteful you say I am. Do you get that, Doctor Detroit. Ninety nine percent of the time, I see your happy horse #### and pass it on by for things that I would find more enjoyable. You however, turn full blown rubbernecker, whenever I'm around, just to let me know for the 1000th time that you are of the opinion that I should go #### myself.

But wait, you didn't read any of this right? No, no, of course you did. You seem to think I'm the b!t.ch because you say so. When every time you read every last single thing I write, it makes you the b!t.ch instead.

What happened to the capitalization? I got Dr about to bust my door down and kick my ### and you post that? Drink another.

You're the dipship that posted something about me in the Shark Pool, unprovoked, after I hadn't had any interaction with you in years. Just like you did to Arizona Ron in this thread. Seems like this really means a lot to you, but that doesn't surprise me based on your posts. I genuinely feel sorry for you, you obviously have been abused by women and the like. That sucks to not feel like a man, but I can't empathize with that. Good luck in your journeys, although I'm sure they will all end up

Also don't circumvent the language filter, Chucky.

Yep, this is my first year here. Trump and Bernie have drug me in to the bitter end of 2016.

So wait, the current Gekko operator is basically mad because a decade ago he was iDating a "female" on this site and another dude told said "female" to stop iDating him?

I'm a world class grudge holder and even I am impressed by that one.

Yeah. And pretty much anyone who picks ifights with the likes of Abe, GM, etc., is going to naturally be a questionable person.

Also I think he's picking on my wife. I'm not sure why or what his beef is with me. Maybe he just doesn't like heavyset guys.

 

[Ditkaless Wonders]

DW made me a better poster. Called me out a few years ago about something, and I took a step back and realized I'd probably turned into a bit of an arrogant ##### if a guy like DW was going to rattle my cage.

I can still be an arrogant #####, but I'm a bit more self aware than I was a few years back. Thanks DW.

Nice of you to say tommyGunz, but if you were ready to change I suspect you would have found the catalyst to do so regardless of running into me.

I do have some vague recollection of poking at you on some subject, though I cannot recall now what that might have been. That things turned out well is a reflection of you, not the guy poking at you. Regardless, I am pleased that you view our interaction in a positive light.

[Ditkaless Wonders]

Does nipsey even post here any more?

And that's the funniest part of all of this.

Since so many in this IClique believe I am some pass around phantom shared account, they'll end up blaming each other for anything other than the fact that one of their own is a creepy stalker.

I mean looked how worked up General Malaise has gotten. Look at the frothing at the mouth. Because he thinks I'm some fake pass around account alias shared by multiple people he already knows.

He's pissed because he thinks I'm not real, all started by a guy who claimed I was not real because he didn't want that not real guy having a few casual phone conversations with some stranger on the Internet that she herself initiated. So the person or people who will end up taking a beating over this are other people in his IClique, whom he is convinced are the puppet masters behind old Gordon Gekko.

I mean, you couldn't put this kind of happy horse #### into a sitcom and have it be any funnier.

HHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHHAHHAHAAHA.

Apparently you and I do not share perspectives on humor. That's alright. I'm sort of twisted.

 

[Ratbert]

Yes & Yes.

Was this fallout from that Little Melvin Peanut thread I started all those years ago? I seem to remember an influx of Moms and some of the folks here interacting with them beyond the scope of that thread. Damn, that was a long time ago if that was the genesis of this.

If I recall some genius subtitled that thread for me the Witchy Women of Legume Swamp. Seems their witchcraft was powerful if it is still reverberating through time.

It never ceases to amaze me how little I know about what goes on here(FFA) with the amount of time I spend here.

I appreciate that GB. I am measured, right up until I am not. I enjoy the times I am not. Currently I am contemplating indulging that side of me with regards to a poster in this thread, but really, he is so insignificant I don't think he can actually motivate me to my best work.

Me too, half the intrigue goes right over my head.

 

[Mr. Pickles]

Looks like the board reformatting is gonna kill this one. 

 

[Guest]

Woke up in the middle of the night and my 5 year old had cuddled into me and I had my arms wrapped around him.  He loves me and has good reason to trust me.  Spent my morning rocking my two week old and singing her to sleep while my wife caught up on z's.  Changed my daughter's diaper and within ten seconds she sprayed it with a fresh coat, and I changed it again.  

Put in a hard day's work and read a chapter of the second Harry Potter book to my 5 year old and he told me, "Daddy, you light up my life."  

Yeah, I think I'm pretty successful.

 

[Frostillicus]

You can take it to the bank brohans

Oh my

 

[Frostillicus]

I agree GM is a terrible poster.

 

[Mr. Pickles]

This probably deserves a separate thread, but I highly doubt Gekko is a group alias. GM also thinks MOP is a cunning fisherman  

 

[Doctor Detroit]

I'm more successful than Gekko, that isn't enough for most but I'll take it to the bank...brohans. 

 

[Koya]

Wait.. Dr. D has 80 ####### THOUSAND POSTS?

Sorry, I am now siding with GG on this one gb.   You must be an awful person in real life too.  WORSE THAN GORDEN GICKO!

 

[Encyclopedia Brown]

I'm more successful than Gekko, that isn't enough for most but I'll take it to the bank...brohans. 

A person who can claim John Wockenfuss as a friend is a winner in life. 

 

[Otis]

80,000 posts isn't real, right?  That's like one of those things where Jason Wood inflated it as shtick?

 

[Otis]

I thought I was successful, but after seeing Dr D at nearly 80,000 posts and Tanner with nearly 10,000 reputation points, I'm realizing I'm a nobody. 

 

[Shutout]

Well...this was an interesting read.

(on topic): I think we naturally criticize ourselves more than we give ourselves credit but from reading the posts (other than the GG war), it seems to me most the people here are doing alright and have a lot to be thankful for.  Some may not recognize it as much as others but, overall, its a good thing to see. 

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Wait.. Dr. D has 80 ####### THOUSAND POSTS?

that surprised me too. he almost caught me, and I work here.
