This is a question Inflated Self-Importance

Amorous Badger asks: Tell us tales of people who have a high opinion of themselves. Jumped-up officials, the mad old bloke who runs the Neighbourhood Watch like it's a military operation, Colonel Blimps, pompous bastards and people stuck up their own arse.

I'm with MV here.
Pointing out someone's failings can be a bit of a laugh - usually involving banter with people you know well (work colleagues, mates, maybe people you've known online for quite a while).
Collating an "Archive" of strangers' "fails" which in itself has taken you away from your loving wife for many hours at a time - kinda makes you look like a complete fucking creepy weirdo.
Remember the creed of the critical person here AB, "People in b3ta houses shouldn't throw Fail Archives"

On top of that you also trot out the - "I've FP'd this many times" or "How many times have you been in the newsletter, I've been x no."
A hint - if the majority of people writing the stories here don't really see it as a competition then saying that makes you look like Lance Armstrong jumping around shouting "I won, I won" at a Steroids Anonymous meeting.

do you never get bored of thick-headed trolling?

Hate to be a grammar nazi
but that should be "Do you ever get bored of thick-headed trolling?"

No.

I think you'll find it's "bored with".
No offence like.

Thank you for the correction
No offence taken.

I don't think it is capable of being bored.
That's like asking a slug to find its own slime unpleasant.

It's kind of understandable though

LOVELY thread.

Have you actually read any of AB's Fail Archive?
It's pretty funny.
I mean, sure it presents an unbalanced one-sided argument, but I think I'm equipped to deal with that without getting bothered by it.
There have been some pretty entertaining threads and downright weird posts, that need preserving for future generations as internet gold.

you should submit this to the fail archive

Having got wound up by people here for a while, I suddenly found it useful to
not take anything here quite so seriously, what with it being a silly comedy forum, filled with internet strangers having a laugh.

^^what this cockhole said^^
Mostly I don't really have an opinion of anyone on this form I much the same way as I don't have an opinion of Slough. I'm aware of it's existence I'm pretty sure some people love it and others think it's a dump I don't care one way or the other.

So ringoffire emvee et al bitching away it's all a bit Slough to me

What?
We had your sort during the war. Woman were thin on the ground so it was any port in a storm.

I remember those long hot summer days of 1939 waiting for a crack at Jerry. Of course by the time we went back up the old queen had been rusticated so I never got the opportunity to break my duck.

On the outbreak of hostilities I signed up with Bingham’s Dandies and soon got my first taste of action. It was Hyde Park Barracks, a night not to be forgotten. The old man found out and I received such a scrugging I had to ride side-saddle for a week.

y'see, the thing is, I agree, or rather agreed with you and Emvee.
on ballance anyway, badger's archive is funny in and of it's self but I thought the amount of recurrent shit you guys got was out of proportion and distasteful. Problem is you're now both playing the same game, especially Emvaee and his digs a badger's other half. say "but he did it first" all you like but it looses you any moral high ground.

Now I doubt you give a shit about my opinion, and there's no reason you should, but I've typed this shit so I might as well post it.

I have never criticised WW
other than questioning her judgment in standing by her hubby when he has attacked people in exactly the same way that some have attacked her (via him) on this website. As in skinny little fellow likes to try to put others down by calling them "fatties", etc.
Many posters on this site (here & /talk) have made far more disgusting comments about my missus including amongst others, her getting "double-teamed while I ate noodles in the corner crying" (that's almost verbatim from 1 of AB's posts). She's not even a member & doesn't frequent b3ta, thankfully.
If you become inured to it it means you accept it.

OK, we'll do this in detail as you can't follow simple instructions.
I have never criticised WW
Never said you did, irrelevent.

Many posters on this site (here & /talk) have made far more disgusting comments about my missus
if I may quote myself in the hope you'll read it this time: "say "but he did it first" all you like but it looses you any moral high ground."

I'm not MV
Again, I didn't say you were, now did I?

and have never typed anything about WW's body type or weight.
and once again, I didn't say you did.

this is not a conversation as you are responding to things you thing I said and ignoring what I actually said. for these reason's I'm out.

He didn't read this response either, so I guess it is pointless.

I've never claimed the moral highground, nor do I particularly want it

You're the only one who you've ever managed to wind up.
Oh ... oh right ... I see. Keep it up then.

with the fact this makes you one of those pricks in the eyes of someone you've never met and have no reason to value the respect of, all is shiny.

Happy days.

Out in the streets playing soccer until there was no more light or one of us had been killed by flying shrapnel.

I can remember their names as if it were yesterday. There was ‘Head-it’ Henry, ‘Kick-it’ Kevin, ‘Goalie’ Garry and the most talented of the gang ,‘Suck-off’ Simon.

It was very sad. Simon joined the Navy and drowned, out the back of the recruiting office about 15 minutes after signing on.
