Well you know what, guys, and I don't know about you but to me this Mithri dude reminds me of Forrest Gump and I'm gonna tell you guys exactly why he reminds me of Forrest Gump. I mean the guy obviously means well, man, but at the same time he's lacking just enough in the social department for a guy like me to notice that and let me give you guys an example so you know what I'm talking about. And Mithri if you're reading this, dude, don't take this in the wrong way, bro. That being said, what I'm talking about here is the part of his message where he states that the people who give him **** because he is part of the corp he is part of are not being rational.

That to me sounds like equivalent of the biggest geek walking up to group of jocks and saying "I choose you to be my best friend". Nothing against geeks or jocks here, guys, just an example. Now let's go back to that statement. Is the community being rational for giving him **** because of the corp he's in? I don't know, probably not. Is that statement likely to change anybody's mind? Probably not. But I've got a better question for you guys: Are people rational? Well, I think hell no! You see people are far from rational and expecting people to be rational is asking for trouble if you ask me. You see when it comes to things like social dynamics and group behaviour especially, you have to be a little smarter than that. I mean I understand you guys got this whole, freedom of speech thing going on in your alliance, no big deal there, I get it. But at the same time, man, you've got to be ready to be treated like the most moronic person who's part of the group you associate yourself with. Asking for people to be friendly to you, just because you are a great guy? I mean c'mon, man, let's be a little bit more realistic here: It's not gonna happen.

See this is exactly what I mean, man, and I was afraid you might be out there reading this message and I didn't want you to take it the wrong way, dude.

See, here's the thing dude and let me perfectly honest with you here, but before that let me answer your question. No, I did not realise that, cause everybody who's been following my forum posts know that I didn't even know what trolling means until a short time ago, because let me tell you, I haven't spend a lot of times chatting in online communities before this, bro. This is a learning experience for me as much as it's for you, man. That being said, let me get back to the topic. The fact of the matter is that I didn't want to have a confrontation or an argument with you about my statement to begin with. I threw out my own opinion, as a man who knows a thing or two about social dynamics, to the general public who can in fact look at it a little bit more objectively.

Now, Mithri, your situation is a little bit different though, as you don't wish to take this **** from the community cause it insults you, no big deal. I understand where you're coming from, bro. What I was trying to say though, is that you can't expect people to like you just because you're a great guy or because it's irrational for people to give you **** because you're associated with a certain group. Well the fact of the matter is that you'll be treated like you're the most moronic person in the group you've associated yourself with.
