To quote the greatest rocker ever from his newest hit, "There is no them, only us." Now let's put aside the butt-hurt (I knew there was some reason to hate Santa!) and get back to some good natured ridicule! I joined MOM because we got some elephant thick skin. I love the Misfits for the same reason. I have spent my adult life looking for the stupid ass line I wasn't supposed to cross. I can't even begin to count the awkward silences that follow some of the funniest things I have ever said. Here is just a taste of how bad I can be. I met a coworker and his wife for lunch one day. We were doing some parking lot patrol searching at car burglars, and his wife was in town for some Xmas shopping.
Me: "How's your Xmas shopping going?"
friend's wife: "Great! Hubby is going to be needing some overtime this month!"
Me: (I take a quick look out the window and spot a clothing retailer that I know nothing about) "To bad your hubby didn't by stock in Lane Bryant (the clothing store I saw)"
Silence
Silence
Silence
Me: "Did I say something wrong?"
Buddy: "Lane Bryant is a fat girl store..."
Me: "Oh..."
My wife: *blushes, won't make I contact with anyone*
See I clearly need to be around people that won't get butt-hurt by my callous insensitive socially unaware remarks. Happy Holidays!!

It's because I don't care about people. Everyone knows it. Apparently some utter fukwit on the forum has declared that to be the case...without the balls to say it to me personally, of course. It's how these fukwits roll, gutless and juvenile.
And no, Dogfight intelligentsia, the term "fukwit" does not and has never been a swipe at a particular squad's name, something else I'm told I've been accused of. Unless there was an only vaguely similar two-syllable Dogfight squadron twenty years before there was a Dogfight, when I started using the term for exactly this type of idiot. And unless I missed the part where I started caring enough about such fukwits to bother about them at all. For future reference, before you go off smash-cocked, figure out that I've never publicly attacked anyone who hadn't thrown an unprovoked shot at me first and even then I rarely engage, it's pointless...and if I say something about someone specific it isn't about you. I know, I know...everything is about you.
Seriously, I have valued friends in the Misfits (to the extent that someone who doesn't care about people can value anyone) and would not take a sweeping shot at the squad even if I was so inclined, which I'm not, and even if I thought it worth my energy to bait anyone, which I don't, other than shooting a particularly slow thinking hick in a barrel from time to time. I'm sorry to learn that some members over there in Misfitland might be thinking I intended the remark for them when there's really only one fukwit I've called fukwit publicly. (See how long it takes him to change his game-name to something from this post, I've gotten him to bite with his last couple teeth four, maybe five times already, he's so easy it isn't really even good sport anymore.)
M.O.Ms, please feel free to call me a fukwit at will. I promise I won't care.

What is most disappointing is that members of certain squads really living into the role of a member, I believe there is compensation problems behind. Maybe they are unsure on their role and overcompensates with an aggressive attitude to show they´r the guy who can be trusted because they want to find their place in the unit and deserve respect.
Cricket / Chuck hit the nail when he even brought certain people behaviors with the Peoples Temple, the ultimate way to sectarianism, when do not realize that they´r only a tool for someone else's will ...
My hope is that such expressions and behaviors stops on this forums, in real life we have unfortunately too much of the attitude that characterizes many players.
My hope is that those who are in some form of formal or informal leaders of DF that underpin and reinforce similar behavior has no significant role in their real-life decision-making positions and positions that affect other individuals way of being or thinking.
I see so much misery and behaviors that are directly sick in reality, people who do not intend on themselves or their surroundings, people who do not wish or are prone to mutate into something that can be gracious and sympathetic so that they can become genuinely respected as individuals, no, everything goes out on to exhibit aggressiveness to get someone who they believe is the same as respect.
I want to have it just a game with nice people and a positive exchange between them, others want to see solidarity in a larger perspective, something significant, important worth going over limits.
I apologize if I'm so naïve as to believe that the destructive elements can be protect against , but I want that hope remains in all cases.
Unfortunately, there is a more realistic side of me that says that the way you interact here on DF is just a mirror of what is happening out there in real life ... that you still have to learn to live with all FUKWITHERS whether one want or do not want to live with it
