Lifes too short for enemies.

Lifes too short for enemies.
Mood:humble

I had been away from this site for a year or so, getting my life back together, so ta speak, when I decided to pop into the old advice lines and ask what the site is like these days. Someone replied, "The advices are BORING, we need you to come back here and stir up some shit again." Someone else made reference to my fictional character BOSS, and reminded me of how i once threatened that Canada was going to invade the United States. Real Vintage stuff, but the devil inside me was sparked, and i took this girls request to heart. The advice lines are boring? You need me to stir up shit? I almost took this like a calling of duty.

Its no mystery to some that I have made enemies by the thousands on this site by posting ridiculous questions in the advice lines, recieving insults for them, then in turn returning those insults and posting more ridiculous questions. So once i realized that some people missed that on the site, I kinda returned to where I left off a year ago, although I admit, I put a little weight on the "stir up shit" component of this request and aimed to ask questions inappropriate enough that I knew it would piss some people off.

I t was a question about what you do when a makes a sexual advance on you that got me deleted the last time. Although I could argue that bestiality jokes don't really actually harm anyone, and can in fact serve no other purpose than to make someone laugh, I admit there was a part of me that just wanted to start a little controversy and piss a few people off.

But there's another part of me that does it to target certain people who are just aching to point their finger at someone. I LIKE to stir up shit with THESE people. And there are certain people who get entertained by it, who i felti didn't wanna let down.

There was another question I asked about how stupid it is to punish a who shits on the floor by rubbing their nose in shit, when dogs EAT shit, and dogs smell other dogs ASSES. Somebody replied, "Well yur a TROLL! Doesn't that make YOU stupid?" I responded that "Your statement is fallacious. Just because Im a troll, doesnt make me stupid. For example If YOU were to shit on the floor, as you appear to be doing in your photo, Id have enough brains to pick you up by the feet and throw you into the chandelier. But judging by your response, you'de probably just shake it off, and shit on the floor again"

Im not saying that was the wittiest of comebacks, but rather I am only giving a crappy example of how i would typically reply to people's insults. I always preferred to return insults in this manner, rather than to stoop to their level, and return their insult with, "No. YOU'RE a troll. YOU RE stupid," or something of that nature. I never liked to get too emotionally involved in the insults or say anything all too nasty, unless it was in some way entertaining for others to read. Everything I have ever done on this site, I have always tried to give a certain degree of entertainment value. After all, people are alone at home on their computers reading this stuff, right?

But in my pursuit of creating entertainment value for the minority, I've probably made alot more enemies than friends. Some of those enemies would become friends down the road, once they figured me out a little more, but the sheer volume of people who read the advice lines, assured that the quantity of enemies far outweighed the quality. So is this quantity of enemies really worth the friends or fans I have made on this site?

A couple years back, I got a response from someone who once wrote, "I used to like coming to the advice lines, but now there are so many Liv Copycats that it just isn't fun anymore" I remember feeling flattered by that, and in some ways it went to my head feeling that in some way, I was succeeding at something. But what exactly was I succeeding at? Sure I may have inspired a small group of individuals to be the entertaining Jackass I was, but what had I really inspired? Had I done anything for the greater good? Well....I actually honestly believed I had.

Believe it or not, when I first came to these advice lines, my approach was entirely different, and I had actually sought to see people eye to eye and offer genuine advice. My first experience with the advice lines, was seeing a young woman totally take an advice question a man had written out of context, and completely insulted him when he in no way deserved it. My response to this was to try to reiterate what I thought he was trying to say, and defend someone i believed to be innocent. She then responded with an insult to me too. I said something modest in my defense, and the next thing i know everyone "had her back" and everyone one was insulting me...when it came time for me to write a question, it was about Rosie Oddonnell, and I intended to give overweight people a sense of comfort, and everyone took THAT outta context, and looked for any way they could to tear down what I had written...when I read people's comments, I suddenly was reminded of how petty the world can be , and while there was the occassional friendly comment, the overwhelming majority acted like a bunch of juniour high , so at one point i just said....SCREW this! Im gonna just make a mockery of the whole thing, and I never looked back.

It was alot o fun, and there was a minority who saw things my way. I had even been referred to as a hero, by some who had caught the drift of what i was doing, and I had certainly felt like I was acting in the interest of the greater good, given some of the mentalities I was up against.

But somewhere along the way it got outta control. The entertainmemt value created by sticking people in their place, got to the point that I had now become the antagonizer, and I would actually seek out questions which instigated a negative response, so that I could entertain people with comebacks. My ego got really big, and somewhere along the path of mayhem, I lost who i really was - that person who once sought nothing more than to offer genuine advice. I actually began to pride my self in making enemies, and entertaining the minority became more important than any greater good I ever thought I was doing. So was it worth it?

Well....let me put it to you this way. If someone were to tell you you had six months to live, and you decided you were going to live life to the fullest, what would that mean exactly? What would you do to live life to the fullest? I think alot of people would feel they need to live on the edge in some way, because they would feel they need to experience some form of excitement before they die. But is that what living you're life to the fullest should really be all about? Does that give you what you need to feel inside to take to the next life. When all is said and done, don't you wanna feel that you've touched somebody's life in some meaningful way rather than to seek satisfaction through personal endulgement?

I think its safe to say, that I have lived life on the edge over the past four years, both on this site, and in my real life, but have I really satisfied my inner being? If I were to die tommorrow, how would I be remembered?

I will likely continue to post ridiculous posts in the advice lines, because that's just me, and I will likely continue to make enemies for it because that's just them, but every so often, a guy can dust himself off, swallow his pride and stop by these so called "enemies" blogs, and see what THEY have ta say. Cuz for the longest time, its always been about me, and I cant really expect anyone to try and get ME, if I make no effort to try and get THEM. Life is too short for enemies, and I ain't gonna be here forever. Being a clown is alot of fun, but its CERTAINLY not the ONLY thing a person wants ta be remembered for. Sometimes its also good to be remembered for who you really are. And if being a clown is any true part of my true personality, it certainly isn't the BEST part. Every now and then, a person needs to step back, and reflect upon what the greater good really is.

 It's always best to argue the issue, rather than attack the person raising it.

Messing with the TOU will get you a rise out of people for sure, but not wise. There are plenty of other contraversial issues for you to play with, without getting banned.
It's always Marie, unless it's signed "b".

I just like stuff that is funny....not so much as controversial, or attacking, as actually funny....its not really the argument Im after so much, as responding to attacks on me in a manner that makes people and myself laugh.....ya wish people would play along, and throw somethin funny back, but what can ya do.....some people are funny back, but not always...still ya don't wanna forfeit yur game, just for them....I think we all have our different ways of approaching things, though....sometimes Im sincere.....if someone seems to be need ing real advice, Ill offer sincere advice sometimes....but other times, I just add my own personal flavour to a wide variety of responses.

as far as getting banned goes, people say rude stuff to people all the time there, and they don't get banned, so i don't think a person should be banned for trying to be funny.

 There are plenty of postings that warrant your kind of entertainment. It seems fewer and fewer questions come from people really seeking honest input from a variety of people over an issue that challenges them. Plus Google and the like are managing to successfully siphon off enough of the old "is my 13 inch cock big enough?" from those who are really confused (as opposed to playing dumb in shamelessly self promoting a fallacy).

Bottoms up!

I agree....I find the the overwhelming number of questions people ask, are often some form of self promotion, ....half the time i dont think people really need the advice, but they just wanna be able ta write somethin in the advice lines ta hear other people's thoughts....i honestly think its more enjoying at times ta get colorful responses, as opposed to alot of answers ya already knew...I mean people have their pride too, right, so why insult their intelligence when you can insult THEM, and they might enjoy it more, if the insults are clever enough...i think its more of a social forum, for people then a place to have people tell you how to go about your sex life...so why not be the life of the party sometimes..I mean there are TIMES when someone really does need advice, and someone needs ta step up and give them good advice, but alot of time, i think most people are just there for fun.
