Hey thenewgreen, you didn't get tagged so I wanted to make sure you saw this comment. Because I liked it.3.) He posts A LOT. Occasionally I think it's his job, and the other job he has is just a front where he launders those sweet hubwheels into cold, hard, cash.
Thanks for the shout out. I appreciated the comment. I'm pretty well over this thread. I had no idea how many followers I had prior to this post, nor do I care. Power users? Powering what? What fucking power do any of us have? I have the power to share my opinion on a website I helped build. Most all of you in this post could claim the same IMO. Is that power? I don't see it that way. I'm not in to internet points, I don't "game," -I interact. I love people. Like a LOT. I'm very much the same person on and off of Hubski. This is just how I roll :) I like cspoons point that we are all held to the same account here. I agree. Edit: I just read nowaypablo's comment in this thread. Right on man. I agree 100%
We gotta have a hubski meetup. Just gotta. I love learning about people. My style at bars alternates between talking for hours and listening to other people talk for hours, both of which I enjoy equally. One of these years...I love people. Like a LOT. I'm very much the same person on and off of Hubski. This is just how I roll :)
The Arctic Monkeys are from Sheffield! When I saw them live, my friend found their tour bus round back and we camped out like the groupies we were, for like 3 hours. There was a group of guys there from Sheffield who had followed AM to NYC on their tour. The brits were intimidatingly handsome and swiftly stole the attention of the girls I was with. I now imagine Sheffield as a little town of Russell Brands writing alternative rock music. Just so you know that's how I picture you now. sidenote: We left before the band came out :(
How does this new image of me compare to your old one? I no longer have the long hair.
humanodon It's gotten to a point here that "power users" is just some sort of Orwellian Doublespeak for "Kleinbl00". So when people say they have a problem with "power users", they really only mean one person, and when they say "Problem", they mean "he hurt my feelings" or "he made his facts not equal to my assertions!" I've never done any serious dancing with KB, but I've never had to because 1.) I like being wrong almost as much as I like being corrected 2.) I value the facts, and how i feel about the situation is secondary 3.) If you read something in a KB comment that differs from what you know, and you look it up, you can usually find a citation for it. If you can't, he'd frankly give it to you. Most of the time what he says is well researched and thought out, so after reading more into the topic, if I didn't agree before, I at the very least see where he's coming from. If you post something, then someone comes and says " You're dumb", then you can get mad all you want. If someone says "You're dumb and here's why" then you need to take a hard look and make sure you're on solid footing. People don't want to take the time to do that, so they get upset and butthurt about the whole thing instead of learning. Idunno about you, but I'm here to learn.
Actually, I don't really contribute much these days,
Yeah, I noticed that. I like to think that it's because you have a lot of kick ass stuff happening in your life right now. Am I right?
