Forum Overview :: Tales of the Sword Coast :: Let's think about this.

[quote name="Quétinbec"]People on the internet lie. I've lied in the past. But why would I lie now? To impress you? I don't think I've said anything very impressive here. I think most people's opinions of me as a person have lowered as a result of this. To entertain you? In that case I'm a liar and a saint. Who the fuck are you and why would I go to such bother when I could have 50,000 page views anywhere else? What bother? I've been talking about this shit for almost 3-4 years now. If you think I'm a character, then I've been completely consistent for that length of time. And if I am a character, am I completely fictional? Do you believe I'm from New Zealand? Do you believe I lived in Australia? Is Irene Wong also a figment of my imagination? Am I living in Bahrain now or am I conjuring all this up from somewhere back home? People on the internet lie, but you're forgetting that they're also lazy as fuck and being that consistent and thorough would be a ridiculous amount of work. I have a VPN that lets me post from IP's in the US, England, and Hong Kong. I need it to get around Bahr*ini web censorship. Before I had that VPN, I posted exclusively from Bahr*ini IPs. I'm posting this now with the VPN off. If you really gave a fuck about how legit all this is, you could contact ICJ and verify that. Or is ICJ also a part of your conspiracy theory? Maybe he's not but I'm also a hacker who can conjure up Middle Eastern IP's? You can ask Ray if that's even possible. Do you really think anyone would go to the bother of being that thorough just to pull the wool over on you fuckers? Or perhaps you believe that I live in Bahrain but think the <a href="http://www.alarabiya.net/articles/2009/04/04/69881.html">prostitution</a> <a href="http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/babylonbeyond/2009/12/bahrain-conservatives-seeking-to-curb-prostitution-fail-in-bid-to-ban-visas-for-women-from-russia-thailand-ethiopia-and-china.html">stories</a> are <a href="http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3644073,00.html">bullshit</a>. Or perhaps you believe I fuck prostitutes but that everything goes really smoothly and I exaggerate the details for your amusement. Your belief that I'm some incredibly dedicated, talented, and GENEROUS troll seems more far-fetched than me ACTUALLY being for real and every so often saying, "Hey, I'm in Bahr*in; I'm fucking whores; it makes me feel shitty." What's happened here is an anti-troll. You're writing off something legitimate as bullshit. That's fine. As I've said, I don't give a fuck if you don't believe me: just shut up about it. If you can't trust me, I don't want to hear from you. And guys like Fussbett who dumbly say, "A whore who wants a car? TOTAL BULLSHIT!" need to fuck off too. Do you know how many websites my original LOTR post was featured in? 17 that I could find. Do you know what good that did me? None. What did I learn from that? That you're better off living life than writing about it. Maybe sometime when I'm older, married, and have nothing better to do I'll sit down and write something. I doubt it - but at least then I could consider all this research. But while I'm young, I'm gonna get my cock wet and if you're lucky, I'll come here to put it on paper to try and make sense of it. If you don't trust me, don't read. [/quote]
