I've got the lunatic on ignore, but I am interested in how many words he's typed vs. everyone else. I think woot did this last time and it was incredibly interesting--and another point of laughter where we stood around and looked in awe at how much Fatty McFatty needed psychotherapy.
Could someone do a word count please?
- Thread starter KnighttimeJoe
- Start date
I'd guess 2.5:1 and the 1 is everyone else on this board.
So this is just page 4.

I just did the first page. His posts took up 7 pages in word with a word count of 3,137
I only counted original typing not any quotes
Lol, he was 8 pages on page 4 and everyone else was just a page and a half.
How are you guys calculating this? Is it .net x86 code or Windows containers algorithms? I'm curious.
That is absolutely crazy. Like straightjacket crazy.
One important aspect of intelligence (and perhaps the most) is being able to make a point simply and in a concise manner. I don't need a reason for every answer, just say yes or no, I don't care about the rest, especially if it wasn't asked for!
Right now, every woman in the world is mad at you.
So not just narcissistic, but possible schzoid? I've been rather amazed at this. I've spent most of my career being in the minority, and some of my childhood, refusing to confirm to 1-2 groups. I'm the same politically too. That self-assurance and confidence I've built has been misconstrued by many over time. But here's the thing.
A narcissist, let alone a schzoid, fails to understand why others are judging them. But I actually do understand why. I think way too far outside the box for most people, and more importantly, have refused to conform. Even if in-person conversations are far better, even then, it has always come up from time-to-time in many things I do. But that's the thing, it's been my strength ... with others, my career, a lot things I do and continue to do. Which is why people who work with me, and know me well, say I should never change.
Especially given the fact that I don't insult people. I don't go out of my way to hate anybody or think there is anything wrong with anyone else. It's why a lot of people trust and confide in me. I've always refused to just sit there a mob hate on people. I refuse to make others the brunt of my jokes. I refuse to judge.
And as my wife regularly points out, it gives other people little excuse to find anything wrong with how I treat others. So they focus on the detail, the general, "he's got issues," because I'm like few others. As even UCFRogerz pointed out long ago, the "Core Dump." I don't deny any of that. But none of you can also say I've gone out of my way to insult anyone, judge anyone or otherwise stir up any hatred, and very limitedly, with great calculation, only taken some of you on a tour of your own follies (especially starting with the "Crass" thread).
Which is why I do very well writing product documentation, or tackling a difficult customer with full accounting, teaching others how to do things, especially new technologies that are underdocumented, etc... I'm pretty much that rock solid guy, ignoring what isn't important, working the problem, and being that someone people can not only confide in, but answer the questions they might think would make them look stupid in front of others. That's who I am.
So continue to make fun of me, even my wife, accuse me of being a threat to the board, society, that I'm going to go postal. But that's the thing ... I'm not violent. Never have been. Which explains the confidence. If any of you think you're going to get me to change, you're not. Deal with it ... or continue to do what you do, and remember how you act towards me is on you.
Everyone is free to put me on ignore, or just skip my posts. The fact that some people not only continue to respond, but even troll, taunt, etc... in other threads, even ones where I haven't posted, along with starting several other threads (while I keep it on 1), is interesting.
But, alas, I'll be blamed for everything that happens, even if I don't respond, and just ignore. That's why I've limited nearly all of my posts on the matter to that 1 thread. But I'm sure this won't be the last thread many of you start to talk about me. But nobody points that out. I'm just the lightning rod that causes it all. I cannot even have a conversation or thread with people sometimes, with good interaction, without this BS starting.
But I'm used to it. I've always been that excuse to use. And it's fine. But that still doesn't excuse how many of you treat not only me, but others. As my wife points out, she still cannot believe how much I will help people when their down, even after they've tried to kick me on the ground. It's just who I am. Which means I'm the last person any of you should be afraid of.
As the only psychologist I ever saw in my life, back when I was a late teen, said, I'm the last guy anyone needs to worry about, I'll always help people, no matter how they treat me. I'm a stupid idealist, who does have the annoying quirk of liking to talk a lot, quite admittedly.

This is very true. I've found that people who write a lot (more specifically, who really write as empty and narcissistically as the lunatic does) are trying to make up for very profound and gaping holes in their life. Perhaps he has no friends? Can't make babies? Who knows. Who cares.
UCFBS thinks that the Game of Thrones books move too fast.
Or just had a week off and decided to start a purposely polarizing thread like I did. I did the same with the "Crass" thread last year too, in full admission.
I don't have many close friends. I never have. I might have tried to over-please people in my youth, but I learned that usually draws the wrong type of people, and never works out well.
I have many associates and colleagues that I've assisted, often repeatedly, over the years. They are the ones who don't try to analyze me, but realize they can take advantage of all the benefits my association has to offer, without me ever asking anything in return.
But it does take about 6 months of knowing me in-person, and working with me quite a bit, to see that. I don't mind putting in that consistency and effort. You cannot tell anyone who you really are. They have to experience it to know.
That and they have to deal with the mob ball of hate and the guilt-by-association of knowing me. It's the ones that tell me not to change in private that know me best. I never blame any of them for not coming to my defense at times like these, and most know my confidence carries me through.
So label it whatever you want. I'm not going to be killing anyone, and I am very much self-aware.
Apparently you do, among select others, you keep responding.
If you guys didn't keep responding, I couldn't continue. My posts would be one'n done. Even when I give you guys "the last word," some of you just keep posting in various threads, trying to get a rise out of me. I don't even bother in most of those, for respect of the board in those forums.
But this is the Cooler.
So far ... I've limited it to the Water Cooler, namely the thread I purposely started, and now this "analysis of UCFBS" one that invariable gets started after. There will at least 1-2 others in the Water Cooler, possibly even the other boards, if history repeats itself.
UCFBS: "Ahh yes, you've all fallen right into my trap, MUAHAHAHA!"
Everyone else: "shut up."
Those were literally the first words out of my mouth when I saw the response.
UCFBS: "Ahh yes, you've all fallen right into my trap, MUAHAHAHA!"
Everyone else: "shut up."
Nope. I don't believe it. The need for wordiness and explanation is a character trait.
It is, no argument. I've always been like that.
But in addition to that, my posting a polarizing thread to the Water Cooler, just like the "Crass" thread last year (which was on the main board), was intentional as well. I normally don't post to troll or rise people up, but completely admit, and did from the get-go, that I did very much do it to polarize people.
People have trouble and often confuse the two things -- one thing I often do, versus the one thing I rarely do. In any case, other people will post yet more threads trying to polarize everything about me, as well as respond often and anywhere they can, trolling about me.
I'm glad I can be the excuse for many of them. And when I'm not around, there are always a few others too. But none of them posts in my length.
Mine were "da fuuuuuuuq?" And I don't even use that kind of language. It's not lady like.
It's actually pretty nice. I'm sure he's responding with some of his usual verbal diarrhea in this thread and I don't have to read it. It's like the lunatic never existed.
Narcissistic personality disorder
Definition
By Mayo Clinic Staff
Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental disorder in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for admiration and a lack of empathy for others. But behind this mask of ultraconfidence lies a fragile self-esteem that's vulnerable to the slightest criticism.
A narcissistic personality disorder causes problems in many areas of life, such as relationships, work, school or financial affairs. You may be generally unhappy and disappointed when you're not given the special favors or admiration you believe you deserve. Others may not enjoy being around you, and you may find your relationships unfulfilling.
Narcissistic personality disorder treatment is centered around talk therapy (psychotherapy).

Symptoms
By Mayo Clinic Staff
Narcissistic personality disorder is one of several types of personality disorders. Personality disorders are conditions in which people have traits that cause them to feel and behave in socially distressing ways, limiting their ability to function in relationships and other areas of their life, such as work or school.
If you have narcissistic personality disorder, you may come across as conceited, boastful or pretentious. You often monopolize conversations. You may belittle or look down on people you perceive as inferior. You may feel a sense of entitlement — and when you don't receive special treatment, you may become impatient or angry. You may insist on having "the best" of everything — for instance, the best car, athletic club or medical care.
At the same time, you have trouble handling anything that may be perceived as criticism. You may have secret feelings of insecurity, shame, vulnerability and humiliation. To feel better, you may react with rage or contempt and try to belittle the other person to make yourself appear superior. Or you may feel depressed and moody because you fall short of perfection.
Many experts use the criteria in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), published by the American Psychiatric Association, to diagnose mental conditions. This manual is also used by insurance companies to reimburse for treatment.
DSM-5 criteria for narcissistic personality disorder include these features:
When to see a doctor
When you have narcissistic personality disorder, you may not want to think that anything could be wrong — doing so wouldn't fit with your self-image of power and perfection. People with narcissistic personality disorder are most likely to seek treatment when they develop symptoms of depression — often because of perceived criticisms or rejections.
If you recognize aspects of your personality that are common to narcissistic personality disorder or you're feeling overwhelmed by sadness, consider reaching out to a trusted doctor or mental health provider. Getting the right treatment can help make your life more rewarding and enjoyable.

For someone who says they have me on "ignore," I certainly seem to be on the tip of your tongue a lot.
Now ... since you're into it, how about we move on to schizoid too?
I find it interesting several of you guys keep saying I view you as inferior, and feel a sense of entitlement. I know some want to read that, but I honestly never think that.
Definitely not me. People have long made fun of what I drive, currently a 2010 Chevy Cobalt, and a 1996 Ford Ranger before that -- all manual, no amenities at all. I also carry an Android phone 1-2 generations back, a Blackberry 1-2 generations back before that (pre-2010), etc...
I fully admit I can be "overly defensive" every now and then, and attempt to explain myself. But I don't have these feelings you speak of.
And that's where the line is. No argument.
Now ... since you're into it, how about we move on to schizoid too?
I just realized we have this type of guy at work. He rambles for 5 minutes when three words would do. It is awful awkward/embarrassing listening to him talk on the phone. He's a "poet" or so he says, he certainly doesn't write haikus.
I have neither such artistic nor political talent, never have, never will.
I just handle the key details and situations, especially when they call for such methodical treatment ... usually by first-hand request. It's not uncommon for me to produce a 100 page document in a week, and have most of my work adopted as official product or support documentation. Especially since most people who tackle the early adopter stuff just like to hack, whereas I reproduce detailed conditions and document, for others to reference.
As I said, work with me 6 months and you'll realize the role I play, instead of wondering how I could possibly be employed, or have associates, etc...
I have also put him on ignore. I have never put anyone on ignore in Rivals history but I just can't take it anymore.
In other words ... so you can talk about me, but cannot see my responses. Understood.
Oh my gosh, w00t, how can anyone sit through that clip? After awhile, it's all blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
Though, maybe that's your point.
