SlayerX Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 OK, people, no matter the barbs or arrows you sling, it just ain't working. It's clear that certain people have a problem with me, strangely enough, I couldn't care less. I find it even a little flattering that you're spending so much of your time to try to goad me. So, keep it up, not that my ego needs a boost or anything. So, who do you think I am today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forameus Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 See, you keep saying you're not bothered, but most people that really aren't don't keep telling everyone just how not bothered they really are. No-one has an issue with you personally, no matter what you keep saying. They have a problem with what you post, and the smug self-righteous attitude you often put out. Then they enjoy it when you put a weak hand to your damp brow and claim persecution. You'd think such an acclaimed writer would've developed a thicker skin.

NorthernJambo Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Glad you don't care. This is becoming grimbo-esque. Thread could have been quite an interesting topic as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know what I'm doing? Chime in anyone. No? OK. I'm obviously dragging it out so that I can extract as much of their time as possible. Why? Because it's funny. Let's be honest, I get jumped on for the smallest thing, so I flip-the-table. It's justice. Plus, what with the funny. Smug and self-righteous? Yes, I am those things. Not trying to deny it. You left out arrogant, smarmy, egocentric, etc. You don't think my skin is thick? Mate, I was called a weirdo (by that guy who has the same name as the Dad's army guy.) and I smiled it off. That's how I am. A thicker skin I could not have, I assure you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forameus Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 So by your admission, you're spending your own free time trying to "extract as much" of complete strangers time as possible, on an internet forum. Yeah, pretty tragic, but whatever tries to boost that fragile self-esteem you seem to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlayerX Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 You do realise that some writers often take details or events or even dialogue from their own lives, don't you? This place has been a goldmine when it comes to writing prompts. Was that my modus operendi when I first began posting? Not really. I just wanted to talk about football and get away from the day-job. And then I began getting rounded on at every corner, so I turned these lemons into ideas. If people want to continue then that's fine, it's kinda like my own automatic idea generator.

Hell, I said that Garry O'Connor didn't live up to his promise and you people rounded on me like I was the second coming of Hitler. lol. The double standards in this place is palpable. And being called a "shit illiterate c**t." for correcting a person who was incorrectly jabbing at my grammar. You people are in serious need of some meds. And no, I'm being completely serious. No. It was what I was going for. Actually, I'm not "going for" anything, just being myself. And I do get the distinct impression that a few people here are just saying things in order to fit in and get approval.

I suppose it should be. Shout out for "Final Draft 10" and "Scrivener" and "Scapple"... if you're that way inclined. Microsoft Word is so archaic.

You've got me all intrigued. Proper writing, not pop-up books or pamphlets or anything. I'm making strides into novels, but it's a very competitive market.

Are you self employed, making a living from writing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
