Unfortunately, I'm as much to blame as everyone else there. :(

But that guy REALLY pisses me off.

[QUOTE=Illmatic]That all sounds a little selfish, don't you think? :-\[/QUOTE]

There's a difference between everyday bitching and genuine emotional burdens. If a friend really needs my help, I'm there. But I don't want to be the target of a venting. If someone needs cheering up, they can just say so, and I'll think of something.

To be perfectly honest, there are certain conversation I do [i]not want[/i] to have, because they're counterproductive.

So am I selfish? Probably. But at least I'm an honest [size=2]a[/size]sshole.

[QUOTE=Jom]I just collectively bitched out everyone in the Sputnikmusic forum again, so head on over and take a look. I'm getting tired of having to do this.

To be honest, I don't know how to navigate that site at all. I can't find any of these scuffles to save my life.

Geez, sometimes someone just wants to vent...it never kills me to listen to my gf or any of my friends blow off some steam every now and then. It's really not a big deal, and I really can't see why you can't be bothered with it.

[QUOTE=I Am Vikingcore]What guy? I wanna see this...[/QUOTE]
Cravinov13

Me and him started arguing in the newest Cradle of Filth review. He kept insisting that they were black metal, I said they weren't, some guy said "if ur so HxC then why dont u give us a definition of real black metal", so I did, and then Cravinov started making smartass comments about me.

He was banned and our comments deleted, so there's no traces of that argument unfortunately. We also started arguing in one of his reviews, but I stopped talking before it got any worse. It could've gotten pretty bad as he referred to me as "a jerk-off CoB fanboy".

HAHAHA, it's that guy? I remember "Mushroomhead is stoner metla!!!'

It's when they make a habit out of it that bothers me.

Do you remember how obnoxious I was earlier this year when I was posting whole rants seemingly every day? I looked back and saw what an insufferable little pain in the [size=2]a[/size]ss I had been. So I try to avoid that these days.

As I said, there's a difference between bitchiness and having real problems to work through. If I feel the need to bitch, I just think outloud alone for a few minutes working through each grievance and what I can do to fix it. No one wants to hear my complain and whine, so I'm not going to force it down their throat.

Tis true

CoF is black metal :rolleyes:


/me puts on Leviathan

I feel a bit bad for him, actually. He thinks he knows it all, but his massive self-image is crumbling around him.

No doubt he deserves it. :evil:

I think so. I only remember him for,

"Devildriver is death metal!!!111!!!11"

also: the new korn is making me die inside... it's such a dissappointment. It's worse than the new Ulver.

[QUOTE=Illmatic]I guess I'm just a doormat, then.[/QUOTE]

As I said, it's only when people make a habit out of it that bothers me. We all have really bad days. But I don't need to hear about how the vending machine was out of Reese's or how the guy at Starbucks didn't make eye contact with you.

If you got fired from your job, got stiffed on a paycheck, or someone you thought was your friend did something completely uncouth, that's something I have no problem with you wanting to get off your chest.

But in my experience, most people allow their complaints to snowball. They end up thinking I'm a captive audience and they can air every little grievance whenever, regardless of how appropriate it is to the situation. If I'm in a really good mood, I don't want to hear things like that. I'd much rather do something fun, and they're certainly welcome to join me if they'd like to brighten their day.

[QUOTE=Illmatic]I guess I'm just a doormat, then.[/QUOTE]
i listen too. i dont really mind, mostly because i bitch and moan a lot too.

i saw king kong today. it was pretty good. i dont know about all the hype reviews though. also i got my first grades from college. not good. looks like i need to buckle down next semester.

edit: im also subject to my female friends asking for advice on guys. which is weird.

I've been hearing it's the best movie ever made. So naturally I'm ready to be disappointed.

As I said, I guess I'm just a doormat...I almost never have a problem with someone letting it all out to me, I always just assumed that I am there to lend an ear, just as they are to me if I am in their situation. I dunno.

I'm the same way. I'm always willing to let people vent on me.

But then again, I'm a total pushover when it comes to interacting with other people.

(sigh) I feel like I'm starting to make myself look like an even bigger wanker than I really am.

I'm just gonna shut up before I say something I'll regret.

I finally got some amusement tonight.

Trevor is completely f[SIZE=2]u[/SIZE]cked up. :lol:

Where is the link to the MX avatars....I have been looking, and looking and looking and looking.....

Okay, gave it some thought. I was right about one thing: I was painting myself into a huge friggin' douchebag.

The line from earlier, I've never said it in full seriousness. What I said afterward was the just the product of my suddenly sour attitude at the realization I had a test coming up and the campus in covered in very dangerous ice I'd have to cross on foot. So naturally, I got into one my usual moods and started shooting my mouth off.

God, I really need to stop doing this sh[size=2]i[/size]t.

The truth is, whenever I say things like the much-quoted line tonight, I say it as a joke, trying to get whoever is having that bad day to cheer up and realize that there are more productive ways of brightening up the day, and I'm perfectly willing to help in that regard.

So no, I'm not a bad guy. I just need to think more before I open my trap.

I never thought you were a bad guy. We all have those moments. Take me for instance; earlier I was thinking of how my grades are terrible, my exams are going to be impossible, and that this year's grades are probably the most importent regarding college. I also forgot about the two major papers I had to write tonight, one of which I am still writing right now.

I wanted to kill myself.

The result was a terrible flame-war that started in sputnik and carried over to the mx forums. Because of the things I said, one user was banned, and will probably hate me for the rest of his time here. But it was just one of those times. I'm not always like that; I was just brooding too much on the terrible things at hand.

Sometimes I think I need help.

mann i loooove me som alchol

I don't think you have anything to worry about. Sure, people have different perspectives on handling things, but I think everyone here is mature and able enough to at least read and respect opinions of others without calling them out on it. For what it's worth, I agree with you on a lot of things regarding this. Not everything, but most. I would try to emulate what I perceive as your successes. I didn't read your comments and feel slighted or disparaged or insulted or whatever by them because I agree/thought they were funny. Others who disagree don't mirror your thoughts and go on his or her merry way. It's all good. Everybody wins.
