You Don't Know Me


Spoony Bard

1,536 views

Let me break it down for those who don't have a clue (and they know who they are).

 

I know a lot of members hate me. It is true. In actuality, I am one of the top hated staff, and members leave because of me.

 

Why? Probably because I do my job here and they don't like that. They don't like me enforcing the rules that I feel shouldn't be bent or broken.

 

Or maybe they assume I use this position to make myself bigger over others. I don't. I don't need a position or rank to make myself better than the other person.

 

Or maybe they think I abuse my power. I don't. I would have been demoted and banned if I was.

 

For those that hate me, let me tell you one thing. You cannot judge a book by its cover. You don't even know me. So why judge and hate me? I could always return the favor and do a better job at it which can probably ruin your reputation, but I don't do that since I don't sink to that level unlike most members here.

 

I am a regular guy. I go to college. I used to be a radio disc jockey. I like to travel. I have a wonderful girlfriend who I love a lot. I have no enemies here or off BZP. I keep myself in the median. I am a likable guy.

 

So to question those who have serious issues with me: why do you not like me? If you do not like me, then why not say it to me? I prefer being told then having you go around say it to everyone and make up rumors and stuff.

 

And by the way, I am awesome.

Staff members should be feared and respected.

Not hated.

Simply because it isn't the staff but the rules they are getting punished/restricted by; the Staff just makes it happen.

 

And I agree with you completely Omi.

 

Yet here is my opinion, if they are leaving because they don't like the Staff members, they are too scared to live by the rules.

At some point, you're going to let some of that awesome rub off on me, right?

Byron you are more awesome than me. :D

 

And I mean that.

Torhu hit the nail on that one. I didn't make myself awesome. You guys did. I am just going along with it.

You were already awesome to begin with, Omi. :P

I love irony. :P

Not if you have to remind people.

*psst* It was a joke. :P He doesn't have to remind people. We're the ones that told him. He is simply acknowledging our opinions. ;)

Dude... Omi is the man!

 

Seriously Shilo, you're like in my top 5 most liked BZPers (you being the 6th (j/k) :P ). I don't know if I could actually rank you, but you're awesome all and all.

 

- :t::l::h:

 

P.S. - You rock!

Y'know, if you stopped insisting that you're awesome...

 

 

~D

And what is wrong with that?

 

Should I say I am not awesome? That I am a total loser and people shouldn't like me for who I am and not for who I am?

 

Cuz that would be lying.

 

-Omi

 

...And right there in that response one can find a summary of the behavior your detractors find improper.

Would you want me to lie?

 

That would look poorly for me since I am staff.

I never said I did, but that there was a bad response, too. You read too much into both statements, and responded snarkily to them.

How is it a bad response?

 

See you aren't giving me what I am asking.

It's a bad response because that was rude of you to be so snarky, and especially when you're asking for respect.

 

See you aren't following what I am saying.

1. I am not asking for respect.

2. I have every right to respond in any way of which I desire. I responded with a snarky attitude because you posted with a rude attitude.

I don't think he's being rude at all. You're just seeing it wrong.

 

 

~D

When he first posted it was a rude comment.

 

And so was your initial comment.

How could that be construed as rude?

Hmm...

 

What I'm seeing with these "dislikers" is a bunch of people posting that they don't like you and not giving any tangible reasons. And if they just say that without giving reasons, how are you to even consider changing? Do they dislike you out of jealousy, perhaps?

 

The thing is, whatever they say is "wrong" with you, it's a matter of what they think internally. It's a matter of taste. Nobody acts exactly how we want them to at all times, and nobody ever will. So for them to go into this thinking that you need to act exactly how they want you to is unreasonable on their part.

 

If your personality isn't their cup of tea, that's fine. But even if one complainer does provide an actual reason that they dislike you, you shouldn't necessarily change yourself because of it, the reason being that this is just one person's personal view of you, and it might not reflect the tastes of the majority.

 

So the best thing to do here (IMO) would be to look at the posts that actually provide some reason for the poster's view, look for trends in those posts, and then make a poll out of the most frequent complaints, asking whether or not people think that about you.

 

But unfortunately, you can't do that. :P
