In response to "People get what they want out of ST. If you only want it to be your sounding board/advice columnist, that's fine. But if you're inventing the need for" by Reagen

Yeah, I don't think he was inventing anything.

That was post-hoc rationalization, imo. Maybe that's why I don't see it as deceptive to anyone but himself.

me, too. otoh, for you, from b2 - you're wrong, about some of us anyway. - b. Sep 7, 10:53 11
- I am not trying to cast aspersions on anyone being "not real". It's human nature to put on faces for different situations. - musubi Sep 7, 11:00 7
  - You and znu can switch back now. No more peeing in magic fountains for either of you. -- nm - TWuG Sep 7, 11:07
  - I posted something similar recently to your first part, but you lose me for the last. - b. Sep 7, 11:05 [Backboard]
  - absolutely true. however, no-one else (i'm pretty sure) is attempting (however poorly) to build an identity un-related to their reality. -- nm - Andie Sep 7, 11:03 1
    - I guess I figure, if reality were kicking me in the groin the way his reality is kicking him in the groin, I'd be temped to say, "it's most fake" too. - musubi Sep 7, 11:08
  - is this sabermetrics? -- nm - TFox Sep 7, 11:00 2
    - Sabermoosetrics. (nm) - musubi Sep 7, 11:01
    - bubermetrics. -- nm - HPV McGee Sep 7, 11:01
- Word. I'm pretty much exactly the same in real life as I am here. - Jim Sep 7, 10:56 2
  - No you are not...I have met you and you are really Tyra Banks -- nm - amoxy Sep 7, 10:57 1
    - So you're saying I don't post as sexy as I really am? -- nm - Jim Sep 7, 11:00
it amounts to the same thing - Reagen Sep 7, 10:53 3
- fwiw, I think it's been pretty pathetic. - b. Sep 7, 10:58
- I guess I get that, but for whatever reason, it just doesn't even move the needle for me. (nm) - musubi Sep 7, 10:56
- yeah, this too. "you're all dumb." -- nm - HPV McGee Sep 7, 10:55
but it's insulting to us in any case. -- nm - HPV McGee Sep 7, 10:53 4
- It wasn't insulting to all of us -- nm - amoxy Sep 7, 10:54 3
  - well, you have met him, correct? nm -- nm - groiny Sep 7, 10:59 2
    - Yeah, and I liked the guy I met. I guess I did not get upset with the previous stuff that was posted - amoxy Sep 7, 11:01 1
      - see, that is the difference. - groiny Sep 7, 11:04
