This is gonna be the thread where we talk about stuff

That IRC log with Chwoka finally made me understand your point, Mike. I even said you were "taking it too far", i apologize for that. I've been following this conversation waiting for an opportunity to come in and say something meaningful but i never gave myself that opportunity and probably won't do it later so i'm gonna use this opportune opportunity to say i'm going to try to be less self-indulgent in the future.

I can't tell you how uncomfortable it makes me feel to receive completely undeserved compliments to my character. Some might prefer the adjectives "abrasive", "opinionated" and "obstinate".

Can't tell if biting irony or just too nice.

Always remember that qualities are subjective! Some may find them annoying, some others inspiring; some people find nerds dumb and boring, some others find them interesting and passionate. Personally, i find your stalwartness worth of admiration since it's not just simple stubbornness. I wish i had less of a desire to please people, i've come to the realization that i'm a person-pleaser and i feel bad for all the compliments i've received for being nice since technically i wasn't really "being myself" BUT THAT'S A DIFFERENT STORY.

So, is producing media really giving something back to society? I've always thought of it more as a selfish act since i'm the one getting the most enjoyment out of it.
