Come on gang, let's take the piss out of Holy Diver because that's how we roll!!

Holy, I don't care to dwell on it because I have dealt with enough people like you to know how resistant to common sense they are. It's not just that you are abrasive and should be 'faking' humility; it's that you try to strip other people of their deserved value, while insisting on the value of your own views. And yet, your views are often wrong. You are feeling the elephant's trunk and insisting the elephant is like a snake while completely missing the rest of the elephant. If you truly 'don't care if feelings are hurt', I do not respect you and I do not care to deal with people I do not respect. Your attitude will (and I'm sure has) cut you off from human kind and hindered you in any real discovery of truth. You can (and I imagine will) ignore what I say here but the nice thing about truth: it can be ignored, but it can not be changed. It justifies and enforces itself.

Now you're just being a faggy drama queen. Why not just let others be who they are... so we can get shit done instead^ I feel the same way about you're behavior here, so what's the point? That doesn't mean I feel the same way about you. I'm going to piss you off that's a given. Whether you're so self absorbed you can't get over it is entirely up to you.

I'm glad you Todd and John are all from the same scene and feel one another. But "the truth" is you're just being bigoted. I like you, you don't like me. Who is the better person again? I'm not stripping you of any deserved value. If you want to strip for us, that is your own prerogative.

I treat you as an equal who deserves respect, because you're my peer. In my opinion this sort of display is completely inappropriate. But I respond to your grievances because I respect you as an individual, which means recognizing what is right for me isn't necessarily right for you.
