I got better recently and stopped posting about him for quite a while, but then I got worse the last 2 weeks for some reason

I'll try and stop again though  :laugh:

It just fucks me off really badly, then I get angry lol

Easy to understand, when the "button" gets pushed,  :headexplode:  and Starbuline is your "button". ATM

And he complained about Jason larsen being annoying and how he wanted to ban him for that

That isn't so bad, it's kind of funny, but he should never ever actually consider it, as it's a support site. If I ran a non-support site I would ban people I found annoying.

I've complained about loads of poeple on WP before as well
But I don't run a support site and then bitch about everyone on there all the time

Yeah, me too. I would be a hopeless admin of that site, I just find too many people annoying.

He's a greedy fucker that takes advantage of people's charity.

Elaborate. What was the deal with that?

I couldn't run a support site, lol I would be a shite admin of a site like that  :laugh:

I don't think it's necessarily what he said that was wrong (apart from the "losing virginity in a sewer" comment (yes, I am bringing it up again, sorry)), more the fact that it seems bitchy and hypocritical for him to be doing that while claiming he's supporting people and helping people and that he's a good role model etc. Plus, it comes across in his posts. It's obvious he doesn't like SG and Jason larsen just by some of his posts on there. That fucks me off a bit when it's a so-called "support site"

If he's going to claim that's what the site is for, he should be supportive of ALL members, not just the ones he personally likes

And the charity thing is about all those supporter donations I think

making out people are helping others with Aspergers, advertising it as "support WrongPlanet awareness!" etc (makes it sound like a charity or something)

When the money just goes towards advertising - which doesn't help existing members - just helps alex get the member count up

Soph, this is the finest example of corporate American culture that I could give you.  All about image over substance, and he's learned how to play the game.  I told him this in the pm I sent him.  He knows that some people see through the bs.  Maybe he's not completely happy with WP himself...but regardless, I think WP is bigger than him now.  He's created this image of himself that he probably couldn't change now, even if he wished to.

AND the advertising revenue from
the site is sufficient to pay for his
claimed (and obscene) costs for advertising,
as well as the server costs.

He brings a decent little income in, for no
work. Mods do all the heavy lifting - still
unpaid, AFAIK.

It'd be better, if he weren't begging for money.

Why do they even make yellow shoes larger than a nine year old girl would wear?

The end result of life's daily pain and suffering, trials and failures, tears and laughter, readings and listenings is an accumulation of wisdom in its purest form.

I saw a couple wearing them,
on campus. About my age.

To be fair though, they do go with
the school colors. Still they're atrocious.
I mean, we're not talking about canvas
or leather here, but what looks like rubber.

Bright yellow.

Soph said she wanted a pair, just so she could kick some people in the ass with them!  I got the funniest mental picture of that!   :laugh:

That is a great humiliation technique.
:P   Internets are super serious.
