Because in just the last few days, I've been really open with my "friends", and wow, what a difference that makes. I know I'll be lifelong friends with two of them and feel more loved right now than I ever have before, while the rest are kind of showing their true colors. You're a bunch of people I don't actually know on the Internet, so if this doesn't shake out it's not a huge deal for me, but basically I respect you guys a lot, and I take the hate harder than I probably should, so if it's just like the cool thing to do right now or whatever, I'd appreciate if we found a new uscpf. Otherwise hate on, but at least tell me what I'm doing wrong.
Not being a victim here, but I probably (and deservedly so) take more hate/flames/taunts/insults than many other people on 2p2, and it's fine. You need to realize a lot of the time it's just people hurling **** at people. It's what we do on here. It is SOMETIMES personal, but that's rare. A lot of times we're just having fun, making witty banter and venting our pent up nerd rage to like people online. If 2p2 has given me anything, it's a thick skin!
Also look to me as an example. Why do haters hate on me? It's for one of two reasons: 1) they see how amazing, intelligent, gifted and correct I consistently am and try to take me down a level or 2 so they can at least imagine for a day what it's like to be me (which is really a great honor) or 2) they love me and it's the only way they know how to show it. I guess it can be both.
