And the condescension and patronizing? I suppose those were perks as well? Well, duh...

You deliberately took a contrarian position--with an air of pretentiousness and feigned dispassion; then you dismiss it all as some exercise in dialectics. I call bullshit.
I hope she answers and the two of you have a lovely time.

I'm sorry, there was no need to ask you what the purpose of this thread was. I read it through entirely. But I'm an open minded guy, please tell me in your own words, as concisely as you can, what was your point here?
It was research, and it was also to find some people who responded who WEREN'T assholes.

I wanted to better get to know the mind of the video game collector, and nothing brings out the true person someone is than when they are antagonized a bit.

Plenty of people were cool with the thread, took the time to listen to me if they were skeptical, or had fun with it and didn't get all huffy.

I look for those people in other threads now, and interact with them regularly, as well as PM them.

The research part was the most important reason I did it, but the meeting of the non-assholes was a nice perk, I will admit. ]]> Why Do You Collect Games? http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=5&threadid=105241 2013-07-25T20:11:20 -05.00 MalcolmXY 113 Originally posted by: MalcolmXY

Very evasive. I think we're done here.

 

I can see my advice fell upon deaf ears, since you did the exact same thing and didn't consider asking me what the actual purpose of the thread was.

I think we were done before we started. 

...and people think I'm the asshole.  Ain't that a B-I-itch?

Oh I read it all, but nothing else of it was as compelling as your lackadaisical "asshole pride." I'm almost bothered by the fact that this obvious troll thread made it past its first page.

 

I thought it was rather enthusiastic myself, and if you're bothered by this thread, or even almost bothered, you need to get a thicker hide. 

This thread had a purpose, and I wasn't the one trolling it.  It was my thread.  The fact that others got all huffy, like you're doing now, isn't my problem, it's theirs...and yours.
 
Please. The point of this thread was to "get others all huffy" 
 

No, it wasn't. 

Since you seem all eager to analyze me, let me share an observation about you and offer you a bit of advice - when you don't know something, instead of assuming you do, ask a person who you think may know this thing you don't to explain it to you.

It'll make your life infinitely simpler and more pleasurable, I promise you.
