Yeah, atob is above this entire situation and is so much cooler than everyone else. Meet that douchebag when he's on IRC sometime. His persona is even more grating at 1:1 speed.

This cat is a "creative"; a "thinker". I imagine the mania we only have a glimpse of here on the Internet is a blaring klaxon of numbingly self-aggrandizing statements in the real world, where you actually have to see his arrogant band tees, and his thick-framed, plastic glasses, and his hipstery hairdo, and his inability to read his book or work on his laptop at home--gotta go to a fucking cafe for that shit. Look, everyone. I'm so blaise aloof that I don't see the world around me when I drink Italian blend! I only see the evolving plot of the screenplay I'm writing on my shiny yet-otherwise-useless Macintosh computer. Let me get my other jump drive out of my manilla, button-laden tote bag, so I can listen to my band's latest experimentals as I spoon the last bits of milk foam from the base of my biodegradeable coffee cup.

I'd also send that dumb-as-fucking-nails, faux-liberally-minded cuntswab scythe33 through the same gauntlet of insults for his psuedointellectual travesties, but the kid isn't a thorn enough in this place to warrant the blackened rose of my contempt. To provide him even a footnote in Metanet's list of self-absorbed idiots is five toenotes superfluous for the groddy wanksteroo.

Who else is there? Oh, yeah. That sidke character. Fuck him right in the mancooch.

Ha, I fucking revel in the fact that I'm not above any of you idiots. We're all as bad as one another, and the proof is right here in this thread. Multiple erectile issues, flights of fancy, pathetically desperate attempts to make oneself appear the dominant force, and so on...

Although, all I've really done here is call it as I see it and the only ones with actual superiority complexes are those looking down on the users arguing in this thread.

Oh, and Radium, you do realise that as NUMA admin I had to deal with your arrogant and downright pitifully self-appreciative posts being reported on a daily basis? You honestly don't even see the beauty of you quoting what you have with that response, do you?

Thanks for the lols. :)

You guys all take this Internet thing way too seriously.
To borrow a line from your precious 4chan, newfag, the Internets are serious business. Any meme-regurgitating, wit deprived, /b/-jockey would come to the same conclusion. You don't like the drama of having real names and real personas brought into a common forum for more meaningful relationships where you have the responsibility of your identity and longevity to live up to? gb2/b/ queermo.
Text-based chat guts any given statement of the emotion or tone it might have been said with, and no amount of emoticons can fix that (although you've gotta give Keron credit for trying). There was a scientific article I was reading from an extremely reputable source (might've been Cracked) that reported a sort of induced Aspergers when people communicate in a way that eliminates the tone of the voice and the physical presence of the other party. Throw in an audience, and people become douchebags.
When you meet someone online through text chat, they're necessarily a stranger, and your communication with him is necessarily alienating. You'd have to be around someone for a considerable amount of time before you start picking up on when they're joking, angry, sarcastic, or insulted, and even then it becomes tricky. And when you know someone so little, how naive do you have to be to contact them outside of text chat? What lapse in sanity would cause you to invite that person to chat on Skype?
I don't know what backwater country you're from, but at least every American on the internet is a rapist. By law, you need to be convicted of or be "such [person] as is physically capable and emotionally unstable as to be likely to" rape in order to get a subscription with an ISP. And the US is responsible for 70% of all online traffic. Given that it's often difficult to do a background check on an effectively anonymous username, you're most likely ingratiating yourself among rapists. If you're okay with that, then fine, go ahead and try making some "friends" and actually discussing their "feelings" at you online "hair-braiding parties." But I'll be over in this corner right here, without all the rape.
