I'm curious, is this whole "fantasizing" thing a defense mechanism so that you can completely avoid criticism, or responding to it?

I'll tell you what, I'll give you a serious response:

Over the years, I've had plenty of "haters", just as I've had plenty of fans. Ever since the BYOND blogs started up, I'm likely the most talked about/controversial figure on here... which is amusing to me, seeing as I've never made a blog post directly insulting anyone, nor have I gone out of my way to antagonize any one individual. I've shot back plenty of jabs at people in blog comments etc. when defending myself, but I've never started a fight :)

Now, there are plenty of BYONDers whom I just automatically ignore... as in if I see their name at the top of a comment or blog entry, I don't even bother reading it. I consider these people a "lost cause", which either means that they are too incredibly stupid or too much of a troll to even waste my time with.

I think that that Masterdan kid has actually posted way more blog entries about me in the past few months than you have... but I'm 90% sure that he's actually Autistic (or somewhere on the spectrum), and if not then he's got an IQ of about 90, so he goes into the "lost cause" category.

You, on the other hand, are fun to tease. You seem fairly intelligent, but you just get so worked up about everything! Your problem is that you have such a gross misunderstanding of me and my philosophy that you go into a rage if someone even mentions my name.

In other words, you hate me more than anyone else on here ever has. Because it's hard for me to fathom how it would even be possible to feel such a strong emotion towards an anonymous online personality, you are something of a curiosity to me. It's fun to push your buttons! However, whenever I get bored with you, I'm sure that I'll just start ignoring you like all of the others.

**Edit** My best guess is that you're probably a decent guy in real life, even if you're a horse's ass online. Perhaps that's part of the reason you aren't a "lost cause" yet in my book :)

Autistic? Is that how you respond to evidense proving that you are wrong? Ouch. I thought objectivists werent suppost to resort to irrational personal attacks and were supposed to stick to logic. And yet, here we are and I am the one following the tenets of logic and you are following the tenets of douchebag.

Man.

Hey, no, bad. Bad, bad. Tim Buckley is amazing. There's just a waste of life online that stole his name and decided to shit all over it.

You know which one I was talking about ;)

Egotistical arrogance drives me insane, and I like to try and knock those people down a peg or two. It's just that people like you three tend to be too thick to knock down a peg.

Oh, I know it drives you insane :)

Once you realize that my ego is completely impervious to anything you could ever say or do, you'll be a lot happier.


I'm not familiar with "Falacy", but you can at least take some consolation in the fact that people like Masterdan don't have an ego built upon a sense of self worth or accomplishment. Instead, they constantly seek the validation of others in order to convince themselves that they have worth. A person who operates under such a facade is not satisfied with themselves, and is only as confident in their work as other people let them be.

In other words, people like that don't have self esteem, so there really isn't anything there for you to despise.
