Something That Irks Me
Previous comment in my blog that I thought deserved its own entry for a response.
Also, in the "Da stats" section, it seems kinda cocky, over-confident, shallow and self-absorbed to have yourself as a "Great of BZP", as it would be if I put myself in if I had a blog. Consider this. Do either of us have a +1,2,3,4 or 5 proto? No. Have either of us changed anything on the site dramatically? Not really. Omi, Raka, Exo, Spitty, Niki, BD, and likely the others(Never heard of Biomech or Teox,) have. You wouldn't deserve it, unless that communist BZP thing goes through, and I wouldn't deserve it, as honoured as I'd be.
First of all I suggest that anyone who thinks I'm being egotistic go read up on sarcasm. Next, I would like to point out that I have +2 proto. I would have +4 but the staff lack a sense of humor.
However lets stop talking about whether or not I am considered a 'Great' here on BZP and discuss what irked me the most in this comment.
Do either of us have a +1,2,3,4 or 5 proto?
I would like to point out one of the things that I personally hate on BZP and in my opinion should be done away with. The proto system. I am about to state a fact so important that it needs its own paragraph and bold text. It's such a common misconception I believe it needs this sort of treatment.
You should never, EVER judge someone because of their proto.
Take those words and engrave them in your heart. Judging someone because of their proto is just as bad as racism. Proto reflects nothing on the character of a person. A person can be just as wicked as a person with +5 as a person with -5.
That said I do believe we need to go over what it means to be a 'great' here on BZP. Dictionary.com defines great as " notable; remarkable; exceptionally outstanding." Thus then in order to be a great here on BZP in my book all you have to do is merely participate in the community with meaningful posts (not that hard), be able to reason your points reasonably and logically, and give back to the community in a meaningful way. It has nothing to do about how dramatically you change the site or how many people recognize your name.
Sorry if I came off as a little standoffish. It's just been something that's irked me for awhile.
