Shit, I don't doubt it. The thing is, we can only judge on what we actually have:
1. Videos that promote and display a type of game that a majority of the people on this board don't use, don't endorse, and aren't impressed by.
2. His above-referenced telling-off of the
whole board because guys simply expressed #1.
Look, that's not the culture of this board. It's funny because, if he'd followed circa 2001 Mystery game, he would have "calibrated" his delivery to the situation. But, alas, we're
not a "PUA" board and he jumped in guns-blazing with braggadocious TL/DR threads like
this, that may work in those types of boards, but just come across as a little strange and obnoxious here--especially from a new member. It's ironic that he said that "we're like everyone else," when the reason we criticized his content in the first place was the fact that we're not. If he'd bothered to follow the rules that he says
we don't follow, he would have lurked for a while and gotten a feel for the place.
Look, I have nothing personal against the guy. I don't know him. I'm just not a fan of his persona, as manifested in his videos and few posts here.
